CLEAR ALLSingapuras are a small cat breed with a huge personality. This micro-sized kitty is the smallest breed among all domestic cats. They thrive on attention and are known for their love of being in the middle of the action.
Being the smallest domestic cat breed, the adult female Singapuras weigh as little as 1.8kg while their male counterparts weigh around 3.6kg. The Singapura’s tiny size is not the only prominent physical characteristic of this breed. They are also known for their saucer-sized eyes outlined in black, their oversized ears, and their unique colouring.
This cat’s exceptional appearance may be the reason why you choose them as your family pet, but it will be their personality that makes you fall in love with them. Nicknamed the Pura, this cat breed is playful, inquisitive, bright and a ball full of energy. They may be little, but the Singapura is a powerhouse, jumping to high places, including your shoulder.
While very active, they are also well-known for being highly affectionate. When they are not running along the top of the furniture or chasing a toy, they’ll seek a lap where they can relax. Their huge, expressive eyes, large ears, and remarkable intelligence are some of this cat breed's unique characteristics.
Singapuras are extroverts and typically get along with everyone, including well-behaved children, other cats, and friendly dogs. Their name is derived from the Malaysian word for Singapore; as this cat originates from the Southeast Asian city of Singapore. Their ticked coat pattern and dark brown colour are a common combination seen in this part of Asia.

As a miniature breed, these kitties will reach a maximum 1.8 - 3.6 kg, so they are considerably lighter than most domestic cats. They will stand about 6 to 8 inches tall, but their tiny bodies are surprisingly muscular.
The Singapura is a short-haired cat with smooth and silky fur. They don’t shed much, so their coats are easy to care for. However, their skin does produce a fair amount of dander, so they are not hypoallergenic by any means.
Singapura cats can only be one colour, which is called sepia agouti. This shade is described as dark brown spots over cream-coloured hair, resulting in a ticked tabby pattern. The shading changes throughout their bodies; the tail is darker while the muzzle, chin, chest, and stomach are lighter. Because the ticking effect creates golden bands of hair, Singapuras appear to shimmer as they walk.
Singapuras have truly gorgeous faces, largely thanks to their large ears and eyes. Their round eyes can be brown, green or yellow, and their ears look big for their head, are slightly pointed and set close together.
Singapura cats usually live for 11 to 16 years and are generally a healthy breed. However, there is some controversy around breeding these cats as they can suffer from uterine inertia, a condition that makes it difficult for them to birth kittens. Because of this, most breeders will deliver the babies via a caesarean.
The Singapura is a large personality in a small package. For their size, they have tons of energy and will be running and leaping at any opportunity they get. In addition, they have a curious and playful nature, so they will need plenty of toys on rotation. Plus, as they love to climb, you can never have too many cat trees for a Singapura.
They adore human interaction, want to be the centre of attention, and are not afraid to assert themselves to get their social needs met. They also want to know about everything you are doing and, thus, will follow you around “helping” you with the chores. However, while they can be demanding with their owners, some Singapuras will act a little shy around strangers.
While some breeds mellow out as they get older, this is not the case with a Singapura. Instead, they retain their vibrant and silly kitten-like personality well into adulthood, so it will always feel like you have a baby cat in the house! They also love to chat with their owners, and they will often vocalise just for the sake of it. Luckily though, they use a pleasant chirp rather than a demanding meow.
While they like to make noise themselves, they really dislike loud noises like barking dogs, thunder, or fireworks. They are known to freak out if they hear a loud noise that they are not used to, so be sure to keep them inside during storms and on New Year's Eve and fireworks night.
Singapuras can have quite demanding social needs that can be overwhelming for a first-time cat parent. Therefore these felines are best suited to someone with a bit of experience and someone who has the time and energy needed for this micro cat.
They do not deal well left alone for too long, and they will show their unhappiness by being destructive, even if they have plenty of toys. Therefore, they will be happier and healthier with someone who works from home or is a stay-at-home parent. As extroverts, they will usually get along with children and other cats, but they may act wary of loud dogs.

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.
