The Ultimate Arctic Curl Guide
About Arctic Curl
The Arctic Curl is a relatively new yet increasingly popular cat breed, admired for its captivating appearance and endearing temperament. They’re very similar to the Turkish Angora, but with a curly coat.
Lifespan
12 to 15 years
Weight
4 to 6 kg
Height
25 to 30 cm
Grooming
The Arctic Curl cat has a curly coat which is similar to that of the Selkirk Rex or Devon Rex.
Origins
The breed originated from a cross between the Selkirk Rex and the Turkish Angora. This is a new breed that originated in Britain, and is relatively rare outside of Europe. The “curl” in Arctic Curl actually refers to the breed’s coat, and not their ears like with the American Curl. Originally created to be white cats with blue eyes, you can now find all colours of Arctic Curl, though some breeders will prioritise staying true to the breed’s original intention.

How can I take good care of my Arctic Curl?
Nutrition
Ensure your Arctic Curl cat gets a balanced diet with high-quality cat food, either dry, wet, or a combination. Regularly consult with a vet for dietary advice, especially if weight gain or loss becomes a concern.
Grooming
The Arctic Curl’s coat is relatively low-maintenance. Regular brushing once a week helps to keep it in top condition and reduces shedding.
Recommended Grooming Tips
Use a soft-bristle brush to groom your Arctic Curl and keep their coat healthy.
Gently clean their ears with a cotton ball or pet wipe dipped in a vet-approved cleanser.
Brush their teeth regularly with cat-specific toothpaste. Never use human toothpaste, which may contain ingredients that are toxic to cats.
Exercise
Engage them in interactive play sessions daily, using toys or laser pointers. Arctic Curls are generally laid-back indoors, but will respond positively to play or outdoor excursions.
Training
Utilize positive reinforcement techniques. Given their intelligence, they can be trained for basic commands, litter training, and even some tricks.
