About Havana Brown

Grooming
Havana Browns boast a short, sleek coat, but that doesn’t mean they don’t benefit from regular grooming.
Origins
The Havana Brown is believed to have originated from chocolate or sable-coloured cats from Southeast Asia. Their name suggests a Cuban origin, but they are actually a British creation. In the 1950s, a group of British breeders decided to specifically breed for the chocolate colour, crossing a Siamese with domestic black cats and Russian Blues. The result was the Havana Brown we recognize today.

How can I take good care of my Havana Brown?
Nutrition
Always opt for high-quality cat food. Look for brands where the primary ingredient is meat. Avoid foods with fillers such as corn or unnamed meat by-products. Havana Browns have a propensity to gain weight. Ensure you are feeding them the recommended amount. Using a measuring cup can prevent overfeeding.
Grooming
A weekly brushing session will help remove loose hairs and reduce shedding. It’s also an excellent opportunity to check for any skin issues or external parasites.
Recommended Grooming Tips
Their striking green eyes should be clear and bright. Wipe away any discharge with a soft, damp cloth.
Dental health is paramount. Brush their teeth weekly with cat-specific toothpaste and consider giving them dental treats or toys.
Generally, Havana Browns don’t require frequent baths due to their short coat.
Exercise
Keeping your Havana Brown physically active is essential for their overall well-being. Cat trees, shelves, or even wall-mounted platforms give them the vertical space they crave and help them expend energy.
Training
Like all cats, Havana Browns respond best to positive reinforcement. Use treats and praise to encourage desired behaviours. Due to their curious nature, they can be trained to walk on a leash. Start with short sessions indoors before venturing outside.
This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.
