About the Neva Masquerade Cat
A Majestic Breed with a Proud Heritage
The Neva Masquerade Cat is a stunning, long-haired variation of the Siberian cat, known for its striking color points and mesmerizing blue eyes. Originating from Russia, this breed carries a regal charm and a deep history. So beloved are these cats that Russian politicians have even gifted them to foreign dignitaries as symbols of goodwill.
A Name Inspired by Beauty
The Neva Masquerade gets its unique name from the “masquerade” mask-like markings on its face, reminiscent of the elegant masks worn at grand balls.
A Hypoallergenic Companion
One of the most exceptional qualities of the Neva Masquerade cat is its hypoallergenic fur. If you or your family members are sensitive to cat fur, this breed may be the perfect solution. Their coat naturally repels allergens, reducing reactions in sensitive individuals.
