The Neva Masquerade turns heads with its striking pointed pattern in silver, brown, blue, lilac, and other colors on a white background.
Stunning and Distinct
These cats bond strongly with their families and love to play. Their intelligence and curiosity keep them entertained.
Playful
This breed originated in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg, formerly called Leningrad, in the 20th century.
Developed in Russia
While popular in its homeland, the Neva Masquerade remains quite rare in other parts of the world.
Rare Outside Russia
The distinct pointed pattern comes from a gene that inhibits color except on the face, ears, legs and tail.
Genetics
These cats typically weigh 8-15 lbs when fully grown. The males tend to be significantly larger than females.
Medium-Sized
Unlike most cats, Neva Masquerades happily play in water. Bathing them is not a challenge!
