About Cat Breed Base

What this site is

Cat Breed Base is a free reference covering 90+ cat breeds: temperament, coat, size, life span, litter size, and breed history — plus practical guides for choosing and living with cats. Every breed profile includes a quick-reference facts panel and an FAQ section.

Who runs it

The site is researched and maintained by the Cat Breed Base Editorial Team, a small independent group of long-time cat owners and breed researchers. We are cat people first: the team has owned, fostered, and foster-failed more breeds than we can count.

Where the data comes from

• Published breed standards from major cat fancier associations
• Veterinary and feline health resources
• Encyclopedic breed references, cross-checked across at least two sources
• Our own editorial review — every profile is read and cleaned before publishing

Editorial process

Breed facts (size, life span, litter size, coat) are cross-checked against published standards. Descriptions and guides are written in plain language and reviewed by the editorial team before going live. When sources disagree, we say so or pick the most commonly cited figure — we do not invent precision.
