The Dwelf cat is a new designer cat breed, which look like they just stepped out of a fantasy movie.

This cat includes the hairless feature of the Sphynx cat, the smaller legs of the Munchkin kitten followed along with the curled ears of the American Curl. The result is a really unique-looking elf like pet. The title of the kitten is derived from dwarf (because of its short legs) and the elf due to the ears.

The size of a dwelf is half the size of a normal domestic cat, making them a toy breed.

​

The Elf is the sibling of the Dwelf, without the shorter legs.

Personality

​

They are often said to be spunky as well as have a dog-like personality which makes up for their size.

• They are highly intelligent creatures, as well as inquisitive social butterflies who love to be around people, especially their own. They do not like being left alone very much.

• This cat gets along with just about all the family, even the family dog if properly introduced. 

• For Dwelfs do not let their shortness fool you, they are very energetic and sure know how to jump.

• You will find them often finding and inventing new ways to scale larger objects as well as navigate getting into all kinds of shenanigans.

Speaking of which, due to them having above average intelligence and lots of energy, this breed does require a lot of play time and mental stimulation to keep them healthy and happy.

Dwelf/ Elf Healthcare/grooming

​

Although hairless, reqular grooming is a must for the this breed. Baths given weekly or bi-weekly is very important for their well-being.

Due to the cat not having fur to naturally wick away its skin oil, they can become greasy and sticky which can result into them even developing skin problems.

However, with regular care such as bathing using water with a mild aloe content and oatmeal shampoo, skin conditions should never be an issue.

​

Be sure to gently clean their face regularly as well as their ears to remove any build up and ear wax. 

Having a hairless cat do require more grooming and care than their furry cousins.
