0 kittens
Good to know
- First bred in the 1970s for medical research, not as a pet.
- The parent species have different chromosome counts, which makes breeding difficult and rare.
- Adults can reach 11 kg, well beyond most domestic cats.
Who it suits
Only experienced keepers with space, permits and a specialist vet; not a family pet.
Care
Check the law where you live before considering one. Needs a meat-heavy diet and large secure runs.
History of the breed
Created in the 1970s in American university laboratories studying feline leukaemia, which needed the Geoffroy's cat's resistance in a domestic-sized animal. A few of the cats reached private hands, and the breed has stayed extremely rare ever since.
