One of the rarest and youngest cat breeds in the world, Elf is hairless and has curling ear tips. These cats are slender, with long, necks and long limbs.
In 2004, Kristen Leedom and Karen Nelson crossed the American Curl and Sphynx cats.The American Curl’s curling ears and the Sphynx cat’s lack of hair are the two unique features of this cat.They are hairless but sometimes thin, soft fur.
The elf cat is a medium-sized cat with a height of roughly 13 to 15 inches or 30 cm at the withers and a weight of 3.5 to 7 kg or 10 to 15 pounds, average lifespan 8 to 14 years.
These cats are often hairless or semi-hairless.However, there is soft fur on the sides of the body, the tail, and the points of the ears and paws.
Like their parent breeds of American Curl and Sphynx, they are intelligent, friendly and affectionate.
