The Peterbald cat is a rare and elegant breed with a slim body, long legs, and a hairless or fine coat. It was developed in Russia in the 1990s by crossing Oriental Shorthairs with the hairless Donskoy breed.
Peterbalds are affectionate, smart, and very social. They form strong bonds with their humans and often follow them around the house. These cats love attention, playtime, and being involved in everything you do.
Not all Peterbalds are completely hairless. Some have peach fuzz, short velvety fur, or a soft brush coat. Their skin feels warm to the touch and may need gentle wiping or occasional baths. Because they lack fur, they should live indoors where it’s warm.
If you’re looking for a loving, playful cat with a unique look, the Peterbald cat brings style, personality, and constant companionship into your home.
