FAQs

Are American Wirehair cats friendly?

They enjoy human companionship and are social but maintain an independent streak, being playful yet calm.

How can you tell if a cat is an American Wirehair?

An American Wirehair is identified by its unique hard, wiry, and crimped coat that feels distinctively rough compared to the smooth short coat of other breeds like the American Shorthair. They have a sturdy, medium to large body with a characteristic squarish muzzle and a textured coat where individual hairs are bent or hooked, giving them a unique appearance.

How much does an American Wirehair cat cost?

American Wirehair cats are relatively rare and pedigreed, leading to a price range typically between £1,000 and £1,600 in the UK, which reflects their quality and rarity. Prices can vary depending on the breeder and the cat's lineage.

Can American Wirehair cats be left alone?

American Wirehair cats are moderately independent and can tolerate some alone time better than very clingy breeds. They appreciate human interaction and companionship but are adaptable and do well with occasional periods alone, especially if provided with stimulation such as toys.
