CLEAR ALLThese affectionate cats are best-known for their remarkable ears that curl out and back in a very elegant arc, giving them a distinct alert look. This unique trait also gives them a happy, cheerful appearance that brings joy to everyone as well. American Curls are a medium-sized ball of happiness with a beautiful face and body.
American Curls have a very glamorous look, accentuated by their gracefully arched ears. This makes them gain followers and fans worldwide. They boast a perky and alert expression that is adored not only by cat fanciers around the world but cat lovers as well.
Because their curled ears are a result of a natural genetic mutation, it is said that these cats were designed exclusively by Mother Nature. Their ears curl naturally like that of a Lynx, with their long tufts fanning outward, emphasising their swept-back appearance. These traits add to the American Curl’s overall sophistication, dynamic and elegant presence.
What cat owners love about American Curls is that they shower their families with affection by patting their human companion’s face, giving soft head bumps and nuzzles. They are intelligent and inquisitive. So, expect your cat to follow you around because they love to be a part of everything you do. They also take a significant amount of time exploring their surroundings or playing games.
American Curls enjoy spending quality time with their human companion and their families. Because of their curious nature, they love participating in everything that is happening in the household. Spend time and talk to your American Curl; they would love that!
Don’t worry; they are not noisy felines and only “talk” when you engage them. They might make gentle “cooing” sounds to get your attention, or simply pat you for attention. While they appear to be very calm and relaxed, American Curls are very playful and best known as the “Peter Pan” of the cat world as they keep their kitten-like playfulness until well into adulthood.
Make sure to exercise your American Curl daily. Invest in cat trees and indoor perches as they enjoy climbing and jumping. Due to their playfulness and intelligence, you can easily train them to play a game of fetch. You can teach them simple commands, and they love being rewarded for a job well done.
Adored by cat lovers worldwide, American Curls are becoming one of the top choices of families with children and other pets because they can quickly adapt to new environments. They can also be a great companion for the elderly due to their devoted and affectionate nature.

American Curl Longhair cats are small to medium-sized. Females are typically smaller, reaching a weight of 5 to 8 pounds, and males are slighter larger, between 7 to 10 pounds. They have an oblong body with a silky, long coat that lies flat to the body and has minimal undercoating. Moreover, longhaired Curls boast a stunning plumed tail.
Interestingly, American Curls are born with straight ears, but they start curling quickly, usually within two to five days. By four months, their ears will have curled to their maximum and will feel hard and stiff at the base while flexible at the tips. The amount of curling varies; some will only develop a very slight curl, whereas others can have an arc between 90 and 180 degrees. However, they never sweep back entirely so that the tips touch the back of the head.
If two curly eared cats breed together, 100% of the litter will have this unique ear trait. However, American Curl Longhair breeders outcross cats without curly ears to keep the breed healthy and genetically diverse. This means not every American Curl in a litter will develop swept-back ears, but typically over 50% do.
The gene that causes the ear curl affects the cartilage but does not cause them pain. However, they are prone to ear infections, so you need to clean their ears regularly. It's vital to take extreme care when cleaning or handling an American Curl's ears to avoid breaking the cartilage.
The American Curl Longhair has a rounded face and large, round eyes that, combined with their distinct ears, give them a charming and gentle appearance. Their fur can be a wide range of colours and patterns, including Tortoiseshell, Calico, and Tabby.
The American Curl Longhair has a playful, curious, and adventurous nature that they maintain throughout their entire lives. Because of this, they are given the nickname "The Peter Pan Cat", as they don't want to grow up.
They are always looking for something new to explore and go crazy over new cardboard boxes or toys. With this breed, you'll need a wide selection of toys, including some challenging puzzles, and it's best to rotate them to keep them on their toes. They also love to climb, so high surfaces in their environment are ideal.
When they're not running and playing, your American Curl will be showing you affection with cuddles and purring. Despite their high energy, they are incredibly loving towards their owners and make very snuggly cats. They prefer to be around their humans but are independent enough to do fine on their own, too. They also love to communicate with their owners vocally but use soft chirps rather than loud meows.
The American Curl Longhair is an adaptable and easy-going breed that quickly adjusts and fits into any home. They are super affectionate but relatively independent, so they are usually happy to stay alone if their human works during the day. However, while being alone may not stress them out, be sure to give them plenty of attention when you are home to remind them of your love.
American Curls are friendly, and at ease around other cats and dogs, so they usually do well in multi-pet homes. However, for the cat's health, it's best that they are not in a house with small children. This is because young kids may try to play with their ears and move them to unnatural positions, which will lead to breaking the ear cartilage.

Jack

One of the reasons I was hesitant to order a puppy from The Pedigree Paws is because I live in Spain. However they connected me with a very good FCI breeder in Barcelona.

Athena

It's been a few months since we decided to find a Chihuahua puppy to join our family, however we had issues finding a good breeder.
We contacted The Pedigree Paws and they connected us with a very unique breeder in Greece. Many videos and pictures were shown, the breeder shared with us the proof of vaccinations, deworming and her 5 generation pedigree. We were fortunate as George, the breeder was able to deliver the puppy to us personally. We are very pleased with our beautiful Athena.
