However, other breeds like a Sokoke, Scottish fold, or Minskin are much less common! These are a few of the rarest cat breeds in the world. Cat breeds so rare, you may not have ever heard of them before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We generally hear people refer to their cat by color. How many times have you heard a friend say that their cat is orange when asked what kind of cat they have? However, these rare cat breeds are extremely distinctive, and some don\u2019t have just one color to go by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a moment to get to know some of the rarest cat breeds in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>1. Burmilla<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13697 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/rare-cats-burmilla-blog.jpg\" alt=\"Rare Burmilla cat breed\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The rare feline breed Burmilla is glamorous as it sounds. Silvery markings across a shiny coat resembling eyeliner across fabric. The Burmilla cat was an \u201caccidental\u201d breed developed in England when a Persian cat was mixed. The Burmilla is very rare in the United States but has been gaining popularity in Great Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2. Korat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/rare-cats-korat-blog.jpg\" alt=\"Rare Korat cat breed\" class=\"wp-image-13698\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Korat breed of cat has left its mark in ancient history. These cats lived in monasteries in the Kingdom of Siam in Thailand in the 14th century. The Korat cats were considered good luck. They were reserved for only members of the Thai government or foreign representatives as an enormous honor to own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cats have a beautiful coat that glistens blue and silver. Seeing a Korat in person is considered lucky, but they\u2019re very rare, so keep a close eye out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>3. Ragamuffin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/rare-cats-ragamuffin-blog.jpg\" alt=\"Rare Ragamuffin Cat breed\" class=\"wp-image-13699\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ragamuffin breed is a relatively new breed, having been introduced in 2003. With big eyes and thick, soft coats, they\u2019re often mistaken as Ragdolls. However, Ragamuffins originated from street cats and are an offshoot of the popular Ragdoll breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This breed is surprisingly low-maintenance, despite being long-haired, they\u2019re not prone to matting or clumping. These cats are also intelligent and playful. They\u2019d probably love the Nina Ottosson&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/product\/5-toys-to-cure-your-kittys-boredom\" rel=\"noopener\">cat puzzle challenges<\/a>. Noted for their large size, friendly disposition, and strength, they\u2019ll soon be well known, but for now still a very uncommon breed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>4. Turkish Van<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><br><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13700 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/rare-cats-turkish-van-blog.jpg\" alt=\"Rare Turkish Van cat breed\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up is the Turkish Van, which is a long-haired beauty that loves water, so don\u2019t be surprised if you see them taking a dip in the river. These remarkable cats are originally from Eastern Turkey in the Lake Van region. They\u2019ve been around since the 1800s and are recognized by the striking red of their tails and heads. This cat is so rare because, for years, the Turkish Government wouldn\u2019t allow kittens to be taken from their country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>5. LaPerm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13701 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/rare-cats-laperm-blog.jpg\" alt=\"Rare LaPerm cat breed\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This breed had humble beginnings, with a barn cat named Curly! The LaPerm is known for its soft and wavy coat, similar to a poodle\u2019s. Curly passed along her curls and gentle temperament to her kittens and now LaPerm\u2019s are great companions that can present in any color!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>6. Sokoke<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/rare-cats-sokoke-blog.jpg\" alt=\"Rare Sokoke cat breed\" class=\"wp-image-13702\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This exotic shorthair cat has origins tracing back to Kenya. The Sokoke has a vibrantly striped coat and is known for its peaceful and easy-going disposition. They\u2019re known by the people of Kenya as the free-roaming feral cats along the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>7. Minskin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/rare-catsminskin-blog.jpg\" alt=\"rare Minskin cat breed\" class=\"wp-image-13703\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>pc: Pinterest<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the Sphynx is well known, along with the Munchkin, their cross is still incredibly rare.
