The American Curl Shorthair is a small to medium-sized cat weighing between 5 to 10 pounds, with females typically being smaller. They have rectangular bodies, round faces, large walnut-shaped eyes, and ears that form a permanent swept-back positioning.
The American Curl Shorthair's iconic ear curl is due to a dominant gene mutation that does not cause any pain to the cat. However, their ear cartilage is not flexible and can easily damage if not handled with care. Every American Curl Shorthair owner should be aware that these kitties' ears are prone to ear infections, so you'll need to clean them regularly and carefully.
American Curl kittens are typically born with straight ears, which gradually curl from a few days old to around four months. By this point, the ears will feel stiff at the base and more flexible at the tips. Moreover, American Curls' ears do not all look the same. Some cats will have just slightly curled ears, whereas others have up to a 180-degree fold. However, they never fold entirely back so that they touch the head.
The American Curl Shorthair has a short, flat-lying coat with almost no undercoat. Their fur can come in a range of solid colours such as black, brown and white, and various patterns, including tabby, tortoiseshell, and Calcio. Likewise, their eyes can be any colour.
American Curls are most known for their kitten-like nature. They display high levels of playfulness and love to explore and seek out adventures and challenges. They are easily entertained and love to receive a new toy or even a new cardboard box. However, they may get bored of their toys quickly as they continually seek a new challenge. So, to avoid spending a fortune on cat toys, rotate their toys regularly.
Part of their playful nature means they love to climb and jump high. Therefore, your American Curl will undoubtedly find a way to reach the highest shelves in your home and the tops of the doors! Unlike other breeds, the American Curls playfulness does not subside when they reach full maturity. Instead, it continues well into adulthood.
There is more to these cats than their love for playing, though. They are equally affectionate and loving towards their owners. They love to spend their downtime cuddling up with their owners and will welcome you home with a head rub and soft meow. American Curls can be pretty vocal, but they are not particularly loud as they tend to use chirps and trills rather than meows.
The American Curl Shorthair is a naturally friendly and gentle feline that gets on with everyone and adapts well to new environments. Although they love being with their humans, they do not need you there 24/7. Their easygoing nature makes them suitable for working professionals, retirees, and first-time cat owners.
American Curls enjoy the company of other animals as well as people. In fact, they do better with a feline (or canine) friend than on their own. They do not show signs of distress if they are left alone during the day, but having a furry friend to play with while you're at work will make a massive difference to their wellbeing.

We had some concerns purchasing a kitten online but our experience with The Pedigree Paws was great. They connected us with Caroline, the Russian Blue breeder and we had many conversations and received multiple pictures and videos. She answered to all our questions.
The Pedigree Paws verified for us all the vaccinations and health checks to make sure our new kitten was 100% healthy.
Thank you for all your help The Pedigree Paws! Highly recommended!
Jack
Miniature Dachshund
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.
He showed me all the health documents of both parents, their pedigree and answer to all my questions. I am so happy they helped me to find a healthy puppy as finding one by myself was very overwhelming. Contacting The Pedigree Paws was the best decision and I highly recommend them to everybody!

Athena
Chihuahua
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. Thank you, The Pedigree Paws, for being truthful and transparent.
