 Most cats are easy to care for. Their independent nature means they tend to meet most of their needs themselves if provided with the right environment, except for some social loving, on their own terms, of course. However, some cat breeds are easier to care for and more low maintenance than others due to their unique traits, both physical and mental. The primary reason cats are given up to animal shelters is that they are unsuited for an owner's home and lifestyle, so choosing a cat that fits you is an important decision. European Shorthair The humble European Shorthair is a superb choice for those looking for a simple and easy care cat breed. This breed comes with all the lovable cat qualities, with no extra hassle or special care. Their coat is short and regular, with average amounts of shedding. Their lifespan can reach up into the 20s, and their health is wonderful. Considered the original house cat, this breed can come in all sorts of colors and patterns and will happily live alongside you in the home. Owners of European Shorthairs adore their loyal friends. American Shorthair Like their ancestors, the European Shorthairs, the American Shorthairs are excellent, easy care cats. The American Shorthair was bred for pest control around crops, so it developed a slightly different appearance. You can identify an American Shorthair from their cousins by their stockier body and more rounded face. Severe to fine than a European Shorthair, this breed is abundant in the United States and is a well-loved low-maintenance breed in the home. They do, however, need more grooming attention as they get dense coats in the cooler months. Ragdoll Ragdolls are well-loved for their laid-back and docile attitudes. Their gentle nature makes them an excellent pick for families and children. Their name hailed from their willingness to be picked up, often going limp in your arms to be contently cradled like a baby. While ragdolls show off a stunning, long coat, the coat care is relatively simple. They primarily tend to their own grooming, but regular brushing does not go amiss. However, despite how much fur they have, they are considered low shedding. Their normal shedding is minimal due to lacking a dense undercoat. However, they shed heavily twice yearly. Hello.

Bombay This gorgeous breed emerged when Burmese and American short hair were intentionally bred to create a miniature panther. Its striking black coat and glistening yellow eyes indeed make it look like a top predator. Still, Bombay is a lovely, low-maintenance housecat. While this cat is friendly, healthy, and has a neat coat, it does have higher energy than a traditional housecat. Extra toys will be needed to keep them happy and occupied. Being a hybrid cat, Bombay's specific personality may vary between the relaxed American short hair and the more needy Burmese. Burmese Burmese is a spunky-we-cat breed. These sauceride cuties are highly intelligent, playful, and social. Their unique personalities will bring endless fun into your life, and their devoted nature will offer you true companionship.

Russian Blue Russian blues are one of the most popular modern housecats. They have a calm and affectionate nature that fits well into families of all kinds. They possess the classic cat intelligence and loyalty while not overly overbearing. Their independence means they can happily co-exist with minimal care. The Russian Blue also has excellent health. The breed is thought to have naturally emerged rather than selectively bred into existence. This gives them a genetic health advantage, however, they are still prone to typical cat illnesses. Berman The Berman is an ancient breed loved for its stunning appearance and calm temperament. Bermons are gentle and easy-going, making them a good fit for families of all kinds. They have little activity and socializing requirements, just the average amount of family attention will do. Its long coat is light with a dashing of color on the points. However, despite being long and fluffy, the coat is relatively easy to care for. Like the ragdoll, Bermons lack a dense undercoat, so grooming is a breeze, and shedding is only occasional.
