Discover Your Favourite Cat Breeds

Cats come in all shapes, sizes and personalities – from the sleek Siamese to the fluffy Maine Coon, and everything in between. Every breed has its own little quirks, whether that’s a love of climbing, a chatty nature, or an irresistible lap-cat tendency.

To help you get to know them better, we’ve added a handy Cat Breed Finder. Simply choose a breed from the dropdown list and you’ll see:

  • A photo of the cat 🐾
  • Where it originated from
  • Its typical temperament and lifespan
  • A short description of what makes it special

It’s a light-hearted way to explore the wonderful variety of cats across the world. Whether you’re curious about your own cat’s background or just want to learn more about the many feline characters out there, give it a go. And of course, while it’s fun to explore pedigrees and origins, we think moggies are just as special. With their mix of looks and personalities, they often end up being the best companions of all.

Cat Breed Finder

At Furballs Cattery, we look after cats of every breed and personality. While each one is unique, they all enjoy the same things here: warmth, comfort, and lots of care.


Tip: Thinking about boarding? If your cat has particular needs (dietary quirks, medication, or a love of extra-high sitting areas), just let us know when you book – we’ll make sure they feel right at home.
