Munchkin cats as a breed have generated their fair share of controversy.  Raising kittens is a very special experience, as any cat lover probably knows. What if your cat could stay the size of a tiny kitten forever? What if you could hold your full grown cat in one hand? For owners of the rare, but up-and-coming Munchkin cat, this dream is reality.

The fun-sized cats are on average 4 to 8 inches tall, and have extremely short legs, but long bodies. Their body shape is comparable to dachshunds and basset hounds. In fact, they have almost identical genetic mutations that cause their compact body shape. Fear not, because unlike the hound dogs, they do not typically have back problems later in life.

These cats are fun-loving, energetic and outgoing. They are great for children or other cats, because they are comfortable with socialization and love to play. Because of their short stature, the cats have very good lateral agility, although they are vertically challenged. Their movement can be compared to that of a ferret.

We suggest adopting your Munchkin from a highly experienced breeder who knows what they’re doing. When the cats are properly bred, they are an excellent addition to any cat lover’s family. Munchkins come in all colors; no two coats are alike. The cats either have short fur or long, silky coats. They are low maintenance cats, as they only require routine checkups and one or two brushings a week.
