History and Origins
The Singapura cat, known for being the smallest domesticated cat breed, has a somewhat debated history. Officially, these captivating little cats were discovered in Singapore in the 1970s by Hal and Tommy Meadow, who brought them to the United States, where the breed was developed. The Singapura's ancestors are believed to have lived in Singapore for generations, with their notable small size, large eyes, and sepia-toned coat making them a distinct presence. Despite controversies surrounding their origin, the Singapura was declared Singapore's national cat in 1991, a testament to their significance and charm in their native land.

Personality
Singapura cats are renowned for their affectionate, playful, and curious nature. Despite their small size, they have a huge personality, often described as "little lions" for their fearless and adventurous spirit. They thrive on human interaction and are known to seek out companionship, whether sitting on laps or participating in daily activities. Singapuras are also highly intelligent, making them quick learners who enjoy interactive toys and games. Their loving and sociable demeanor makes them excellent pets for families and individuals alike.

Nutrition and Feeding
Due to their small stature, Singapura cats require a well-balanced diet to maintain their health and vitality. High-quality cat food rich in protein is essential to support their active metabolism. It's important to monitor their portion sizes to prevent overfeeding, as maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for their overall well-being. Fresh, clean water should always be accessible, and treats should be given in moderation as part of a balanced dietary regimen.

Grooming and Care
The Singapura's short, fine coat is relatively low maintenance, requiring only occasional brushing to remove loose hair and maintain its sleek appearance. Their grooming routine should also include regular nail trimming, ear cleaning, and dental care to prevent common health issues. Despite their love for exploration, Singapuras are indoor cats, and their grooming routine should be tailored to keep them clean and healthy within a home environment.

Specific Needs
Singapura cats are generally healthy but, like all breeds, can be prone to genetic health issues such as hereditary diseases common in small breeds. Regular veterinary check-ups are crucial for early detection and management of any health concerns. Additionally, their adventurous nature and intelligence necessitate a stimulating environment with plenty of opportunities for play and exploration to keep them engaged and happy.

Training
Singapuras are receptive to training due to their intelligence and desire to interact with their human companions. They can be taught a variety of behaviors and tricks using positive reinforcement methods such as treats and praise. Litter training usually comes naturally to these clever cats, and they can also learn to walk on a leash for safe outdoor adventures.

Need to Know
Prospective Singapura cat owners should be prepared for a lively and affectionate companion that craves attention and engagement. Understanding their nutritional needs, grooming requirements, and providing a stimulating environment are key to their care. Despite their small size, Singapuras have big hearts and personalities, making them a delightful addition to any home looking for a loving and active feline friend.

Our experience with Purebredkitties was wonderful! Communication was great, and we even got to FaceTime with our kitten before bringing her home. She was exactly as we expected and is already doing great with our family after just two days. One small note is that pedigree papers weren't included and cost extra, which was a bit pricey since she arrived spayed. Overall, even though it was expensive, it was worth it. The quality and size of our kitten are amazing!

The whole experience of adopting a pet with this fantastic team has been nothing short of wonderful. Now, I have the joy of being a devoted pet mom to a gorgeous kitten I named Princess. I'm already looking forward to adopting another fur baby with Maria's help in the future. I'm absolutely thrilled and can't thank you all enough!

Proud mom of four Sphynx kitties! I adopted all of my adorable feline friends from Maria at purebredkitties.com, and I couldn’t be happier. Each one is a treasure, and working with Maria has been an absolute delight!

The whole journey to bring our fluffy bundle of joy home was fantastic. Maria is incredibly kind and always ready to answer all our questions. I really appreciate how seriously they take the health of the cats. Our kitten arrived with a minor case of the sniffles, likely from the airport travel, but it was easily and quickly resolved. Plus, the video call we had to meet our little guy beforehand was a wonderful way to get a glimpse of his personality and feel confident in our decision. I'm definitely recommending Purebred Kitties to all my friends who are looking to get their own Maine Coon.
