Meet the Korat
Silver, sweet, and full of heart
The Korat comes from Thailand, where it has been prized for centuries as the Si-Sawat, a cat said to bring good fortune. Pairs of Korats were traditionally given as wedding gifts.
Every Korat is the same striking silver-tipped blue, with a heart-shaped face and big green eyes. They're gentle, loyal cats that love their people deeply and enjoy a quiet, loving home.

Korat kittens
From kitten to full-grown
Every Korat starts out as a bundle of curiosity. Kittens grow quickly, and the cat you see above is what yours will grow into.
Always choose a registered breeder. A good breeder will have your kitten vet-checked, vaccinated and microchipped, and will happily answer your questions and introduce you to the parents.
