American Curls are instantly recognizable by their uniquely curled-back ears, which give them a perpetually alert, cheerful expression. This relatively young breed originated from a stray kitten found in California in 1981. They are silky-coated, moderate-sized cats with a gentle, people-oriented personality that endears them to everyone they meet.
Adopting an American Curl means gaining a sweet, adaptable companion who remains kitten-like in spirit throughout their lives. They adjust well to families with children, other pets, and varying lifestyles. Their affectionate but not overly demanding nature strikes a wonderful balance for households that want a loving cat who is happy both playing and relaxing.
