About the American Wirehair
The American Wirehair is a uniquely American breed, originating from a spontaneous genetic mutation that gives its coat a distinctive springy, wiry texture. Known for their easygoing, affectionate, and playful personalities, they are robust, healthy cats that make excellent family companions. Their low-maintenance coat, which does not mat easily, and their adaptable nature have earned them a loyal following despite their relative rarity.
