Ojos Azules Cats

The Ojos Azules is one of the most mysterious and striking cat breeds ever recorded. Known for its vivid blue eyes and dark coat, this rare feline turned the cat world upside down when it appeared in New Mexico during the 1980s.

Breeders worked cautiously with these cats. When kittens from two blue-eyed parents showed health issues, most breeding programs came to a halt. Interest soon faded, and the breed quietly disappeared — making it one of the few truly extinct cat breeds.

Though you won’t find this cat in homes today, the Ojos Azules still fascinates researchers and cat lovers alike. Its unusual appearance and rare genetics earn it a lasting place among rare cat breeds and experimental feline lines.
