Japanese Rabbit

This breed is also commonly known as the Griffon Korthals or Griffon à Poil Dur.
Toyger
Originating from the US, the exclusive Toyger “designer cat” is a domestic cat bred with the aim of resembling a tiger in cat form. Hence, the name is made up of “toy” and the ending of “tiger”.

The sweet Singapura is a real rarity, since the number of responsible breeders is still very low. As a result, it isn't at all easy to procure a cat belonging to this exotic breed. However, whoever is fortunate enough to give a Singapura a home can count themselves all the luckier, since these cats have a unique character that is both delightful and fascinating – just as your life alongside a Singapura will be.
