Breed traits and characteristics

LaPerms are recognized for their curly, soft, and low-maintenance coats. They are very loving and are often found on their human companion’s lap. They also appear to understand human moods and react accordingly.

Laidback and playful, these cats form strong bonds with their families, making them excellent companions for children, those who live alone and the disabled. They love human and animal companionship and should not be left alone frequently or for long periods.

Compared to other cat breeds, the LaPerm is quite content being a lap cat. They are gentle, affectionate and will frequently follow their human companion’s lead. In fact, even if they are busy playing, once you pick them up and put them on your lap, they will stay and enjoy the affection and attention you give them.

LaPerms love and enjoy human contact. They will purr as soon as they see you. To show their never-ending love, expect them to reach for your face with their paws and rub their faces against your head or neck.

Despite their love for cuddles, LaPerm cats are not couch potatoes. They are attentive, intelligent, and energetic cats with high inquisitiveness and independence. They enjoy being involved in everything their families are doing. They can regularly be found following their human companion around their home.

These gorgeous cats are definitely different from the other breeds because of their distinct appearance and their amazing people-oriented personalities. Once a LaPerm graces your home, you may not consider other breeds again.

10 reasons to add a LaPerm Longhair to your family

Curly haired cats are not a common sighting. Thus, LaPerms are distinctive, different, and incredibly cute.

Their curly fur is super soft like a teddy bear, rather than coarse, which makes them the ideal snuggle buddies.

These affectionate kitties are not needy by any means. They love receiving attention but are also happy to play on their own.

Because of their low needs and adaptable nature, they can find happiness with all types of families and home environments, including apartments and with first-time cat owners.

Any LaPerm owner will agree, there is something exceptional about this kitty’s loud, deep purr.

Playful LaPerms love to clown around and show off, bringing your hours of laughs.

It’s easy to take one look at a LaPerm longhair and assume they have high grooming requirements. However, they only need to be brushed or combed a few times a week, typically don’t need baths, and don’t shed much either.

LaPerms will stay close to their owners for most of the day. So if you work from home, they make an excellent companion who will lay on your desk, keeping you company as you work.

As they are a naturally occurring breed, LaPerms do not have any known inherited health problems.

LaPerms are not cats you often come across, but they always catch your eye when you do. Being so exclusive, your guests will always be in awe of your curly haired feline.

Meet the LaPerm Longhair

The LaPerm Longhair is a small to medium cat, weighing five to eight pounds at maturity, which is usually two to three years old. They have an athletic yet elegant build, and their thick, woolly coats typically make them appear bigger than they are. LaPerms have slightly rounded heads with expressive eyes that can be any colour.

Interestingly, LaPerms are usually born bald or short haired, and they gradually develop their long coat as they grow. By the time they reach maturity, they will sport a combination of soft waves, curls, and ringlets, resembling a shaggy perm that feels soft to the touch. However, some LaPerms do not develop ringlets and maintain a straight coat instead.

Most longhaired LaPerms will have looser curls around the body, tighter ringlets around the neck and ears and a curly plumed tail. Their fur can be any colour or pattern, but tabbies, calicos and tortoiseshells are common. Furthermore, they often have curled whiskers.

The longhaired LaPerm’s curly coat is not too difficult to care for, but you do need to brush or comb it multiple times a week to prevent tangling or matting. After brushing, you can spray a little water to set the curls. You should not need to bathe them, but if you do, towel-dry them instead of using a hairdryer, which will create frizziness.

The temperament of a LaPerm Longhair

The LaPerm Longhair is an affectionate and playful kitty. They have an inquisitive nature and a clownish sense of humour. They are pretty smart and can figure out things like opening doors, which can sometimes cause mischief. They love to be up high and always look for something to climb, so don’t be surprised if they clamber up onto your shoulder!

LaPerms are super affectionate and like being in the same space as their owners but do not display neediness. So whether you’re cooking, on your laptop, or watching a movie, your LaPerm will likely be with you. They do not meow a great deal, but they have deep purrs that promote comfort and relaxation.

Provided they receive sufficient socialisation as kittens, LaPerms grow to be very friendly and at ease around strangers. Likewise, they do not feel fearful in the presence of children, so they make good family pets. Furthermore, as they descend from barn cats, these felines have a strong prey drive and love to hunt.

Best homes for a LaPerm Longhair

LaPerm Longhairs will also be around as they prefer to be with their owners than off doing their own thing. Because they love to play and hunt, they will need plenty of toys, cat trees and high platforms to keep them happy. They are also content spending most or all their time indoors, making them a good choice for those living in apartments.

Their easygoing nature also means they get along well with children and other pets. In fact, as they love to play, they welcome any playmate, whether it’s a tiny human, feline, or canine. Moreover, as they don’t particularly like to be alone, it’s best to have a furry friend for them to grow up around if you work long hours.

FAQs about the LaPerm Longhair

Unfortunately, many unethical breeders and pet farms are only concerned about making money. As a result, the kittens are kept in dire conditions and separated from their mother far too early. Operating in this way is highly detrimental to the health and welfare of the animals.

At The Pedigree Paws, our principal focus is to ensure all the animals on our platform are bred and raised ethically and receive excellent care. We believe that breeders should always raise kittens in a family home instead of keeping them in a cage, so we seek out the top-rated breeders who share these values. As a result, we have total confidence that our kittens are well taken care of, fully healthy and well socialised.

If you're looking for a cat with adorable looks and an equally adorable personality, then yes! LaPerms are very friendly, loving, and make fantastic companions. They are adaptable, so they suit most types of families and homes. Plus, they are easy-going, so they are great even if you have no previous experience with cats.

LaPerms don't particularly like to be alone, so they prefer an owner who is around often. However, they also enjoy the company of other animals, so having some furry friends for your curly kitty will help them thrive, too.

Choosing your new furry friend should be an exciting and heartwarming experience. However, because of some breeders' unethical operations, this is not always the case.

We are cat owners and animal lovers ourselves, which is why we decided to create The Pedigree Paws. Our mission was to build a trustworthy space for cat lovers to buy a new kitten and a platform for the best breeders to share their high-quality offspring. Thus, as we only work with passionate, ethical breeders, The Pedigree Paws helps fight rogue pet farms and reduce animal neglect.

When you buy a LaPerm Longhair through The Pedigree Paws, you can have total confidence that your curly-haired kitten is 100% healthy. We do several things to ensure this, including the requirement for our breeders to take their kittens for a complete examination and blood check at their vets.

Another condition is that they must run DNA checks on the kitten's mother and father. Even though LaPerms do not have any known genetic health issues, these tests are still crucial to ensure your LaPerm cat will live a long and healthy life.

The date your curly-haired kitten will be ready depends on the age they currently are and their development rate. We require our breeders to keep all kittens with their mothers until they are at least eight weeks old. Furthermore, we find kittens are less likely to display behavioural issues when they spend 10 to 13 weeks with their mum. So, if possible, we will try to keep them together for this period.

There may be an availability date on the LaPerm kitten listing. If not, the breeder will inform you when your curly kitten will be ready to come to you.

Although this is typically a healthy breed, it's understandable to have concerns regarding the health and welfare of your new kitten. Therefore, you have the option to arrange a video call with the breeder to see the kitten and one or both parents. Seeing them in good condition and observing their friendly nature will help assure you that your baby LaPerm will live a healthy and happy life with you.

Yes, every LaPerm Longhair kitten from The Pedigree Paws will be registered and come with official documents to prove its status. All the major international breeding associations acknowledge the LaPerm as a pedigree breed. The breeder will register your new kitten with one of them and send you the original documents along with your new fluffy friend.

At The Pedigree Paws, we maintain stringent regulations to limit who can advertise on the platform, ensuring we work with only the top LaPerm breeders. Furthermore, we do not associate with pet farms or mills as their primary concern is making money and mass-producing kittens. In contrast, our partner breeders demonstrate honourable values and a strong passion for animal welfare.

Furthermore, our breeders closely follow the rules and regulations around breeding that international pedigree organisations set. Because of this, you can be assured that your new LaPerm kitten is growing up in a loving environment preparing for its forever home.

All The Pedigree Paws breeders raise their kittens in their home. Here, the LaPerm kittens stay with their mother, receiving her milk and weaning at a natural pace. We do not work with pet farms or commercial breeders because they often keep kittens in cages, away from their mothers, and wean them before they are ready.

When kittens grow up in a family home environment, they receive love, attention, and socialisation; thus, they thrive. They gain plenty of positive human experiences so are already confident and friendly towards people, making for an easier transition to their new home.

Because they receive early socialisation, most LaPerm kittens are confident, friendly and adaptable. Even so, leaving their mother for the first time is a big change that can be overwhelming. Therefore, there are a few things we recommend you do to create a stress-free environment for your new kitty.

Firstly, you can help them settle quickly by creating a small, relaxing space to retreat if they feel scared. All you need is a cardboard box and some blankets in a quiet, dark corner. We also advise keeping them in one room during day one and giving them plenty of attention and time. Then, once they seem settled, introduce them to the rest of their new home and slowly introduce them to any new furry siblings.
