About the California Spangled
The California Spangled was a breed developed in the 1980s with the intent to create a domesticated cat with the dramatic spotted appearance of a wild leopard. It was bred from a mix of breeds including Abyssinian, American Shorthair, and British Shorthair. Known for its athletic, long-bodied build and distinctive, contrasting spots, the breed was intelligent, active, and social. It is now considered extremely rare and potentially extinct.
