Singapura

The Singapura cat breed is a descendant of the resilient feral cats that thrived in Singapore. These resourceful felines adapted to survive the urban conditions, developing a reputation for both intelligence and toughness. Once on the brink of extinction due to eradication efforts, a group of United States Air Force personnel rescued a few, bringing them to the United States where the breed was established. While still considered a rare breed in many parts of the world, the Singapura's charming personality and striking appearance are rapidly increasing its popularity.

Singapura cats thrive on companionship and are best suited for owners who can spend significant time at home.

The Singapura cat breed is a natural explorer and climber. Provide ample cat trees, fun hiding spots, and secure shelves to keep them busy.

While they don't need a massive area, they do appreciate having room to explore and play, and room for all of their climbing and play structures.

The Singapura's sleek coat requires minimal grooming, but a weekly brushing session offers a chance to bond with your cat while checking for any skin issues.

The Singapura cat is a quick learner who can train easily. Positive reinforcement methods work best.

As a deeply affectionate and sensitive breed, Singapura cats thrive on human interaction and may experience anxiety when left alone for extended periods. They are best suited for older children or calm households.

The cost of a Singapura from a breeder is significantly more than the cost of adopting one from a local shelter or rescue. The adoption fee usually covers additional items such as spaying or neutering, vaccines, and microchipping.
