Description

The Snowshoe began as a cross between the American Shorthair and the Siamese in the early 1960s in the United States, producing a sturdy, pointed cat with white markings on the face, chest and feet. It is found in the usual Siamese colors -- seal, chocolate, lilac, and blue -- in two patterns, mitted and bicolor. It is also found in red (flame), cream, cinnamon, and fawn. American Shorthairs, Oriental Shorthairs, and Siamese are still legal outcrosses.

The Snowshoe is a lively breed that enjoys indoor living. It is affectionate and playful, yet laid back -- combining some of the best personality traits of its parent breeds.

The Snowshoe is still a rare breed.

Associations: The Snowshoe is accepted by AACE, ACFA, CFF, and TICA.
