Finding the right cat breed for you

At Purina, we believe the bond between people and pets help create a better society. Owning a cat can mean a happy and fulfilling life together, but it’s your responsibility – for the sake of both you and your cat, to find the right one.

Less questions, more accuracy

At Purina, we’ve brought together experts in every aspect of pet nutrition, health, and cat behaviour, ensuring that our cat breed selector is asking the right questions to help find the right cat for you.

Pure-breeds and moggies

The vast majority of cats are ‘moggies’; a mix of pure-bred pedigree cats – often over many generations. This unknown lineage means moggies’ personalities are more defined by nurture than nature. Our Breed Selector specialises in pure-bred cat breeds for this reason.
