PROFILE
Since it first originated in Russia in January 1994, the Peterbald has charmed cat lovers with its elegance and intelligence. The result of a cross between an Oriental Shorthair and Don Hairless, the Peterbald can come in a rainbow of colors and several different coat lengths—from naked to fully furred—on a lean, elongated, graceful body. The Peterbald displays active, energetic traits and enjoys observing its owner’s activities.
