FaunaHub

Cat Breed Finder

Filter FaunaHub's 55 cat breed profiles. Filters appear only where the data behind them covers enough of the registry to filter honestly.

There is no size filter here, and it is not because the numbers are missing. Four of these breeds publish an adult weight on their CFA profile page, and each profile shows it. What FaunaHub does not have is a size scale calibrated for cats: its bands were built from dog weights, where 9.1 kg is a small animal — run a Maine Coon through them and CFA's own “gentle giant of the cat fancy” comes out as “small”. CFA also publishes no trait scale of the kind the AKC does for dogs, so the trait axes have nothing behind them either. A filter is a promise that the values behind it are real.

Every cat breed is also listed as a plain link in the A–Z directory, so nothing here is hidden behind this button.

Filters this Finder does not offer

Adult size
FaunaHub's size bands are calibrated for dogs — 9.1 kg is a small dog and a very large cat — so no cat is banded. Four cat breeds do carry a published weight, shown on their own profile.
Shedding
CFA publishes no trait scale of the kind the AKC does for dogs, so there is nothing to normalise.
Grooming needs
CFA publishes no trait scale of the kind the AKC does for dogs, so there is nothing to normalise.
Exercise needs
CFA publishes no trait scale of the kind the AKC does for dogs, so there is nothing to normalise.
Trainability
CFA publishes no trait scale of the kind the AKC does for dogs, so there is nothing to normalise.
Vocality
CFA publishes no trait scale of the kind the AKC does for dogs, so there is nothing to normalise.

What each profile carries instead

Each cat breed page records CFA recognition and the year it was granted, the standard's own coat wording quoted verbatim, an adult weight where CFA publishes one, and a written overview of temperament, activity, grooming, and household considerations. Where a value is absent, the page says it is absent and why — a Sphynx profile that quoted an invented weight would be worse than one that quotes the standard saying the breed is “not actually completely hairless”.
