Big Scottish Fold Cats for stud in Solihull, West Midlands

Scottish Folds have a genetic condition called osteochondrodysplasia, which affects cartilage development and causes painful arthritis, limb deformities, and mobility issues, often starting from a young age. They are also prone to obesity and related health problems like diabetes, and may face risks of heart and kidney diseases. These health challenges require responsible ownership and can lead to significant veterinary costs.

Scottish Folds are known for their gentle, affectionate, and loyal nature, making them excellent companions and suitable for families, including those with children. However, potential owners should be prepared for their specific health needs and the ongoing care and expenses associated with managing their genetic conditions.

The average lifespan of a Scottish Fold cat is between 12 to 16 years. With proper nutrition, regular veterinary care, and attentive management of their health issues, many Scottish Folds can live a long and happy life.
