The Russian Black cat is a rare and striking breed known for its sleek black coat and vivid green eyes. It shares the same elegant build and gentle temperament as the Russian Blue, offering the same charm in a darker coat.

Russian Blacks are quiet, intelligent, and affectionate. They may be shy at first but become loyal companions once they bond with their humans. These cats do best in calm homes where they can follow a predictable routine.

Their short, dense coat is low-shedding and easy to care for—just a quick weekly brushing keeps it looking smooth and shiny. Like their Russian Blue relatives, Russian Blacks are clean, graceful, and emotionally intuitive.

If you love the personality of the Russian Blue but prefer a black-coated companion, the Russian Black cat is a graceful and loving choice.
