The Thai Cat Center

Introduction

Thailand is home to a unique race of cats with very distinctive looks. The most common Thai cats found in the west are Burmese cats, Siamese Cats, and Tonkinese cats. But, there are many types of cats in Thailand, beyond these.

In Thailand, Burmese cats, Siamese Cats, and Tonkinese cats, and all the other colors found there, one breed. Depending on their color, they are called by different names, Wichienmaat (Siamese), Thong Daeng (Burmese ), Suphalak, or Korat, etc. These names simply indicate the color of the cat. These beautiful cats comes in a kaleidoscope of color, black, brown, pointed, tan, tortoise shell, white, and everything in between. Their eyes can be yellow, green, or blue.

Truly, the hallmark of these cats is their extraordinary personality. They are best described as COGS, dog like cats. They are a dog minus the walk. Indeed, they go for walks, ride in the car, play fetch, will take the elevator to go with you to collect the mail, and are hopelessly obsessed with their owner. In this way, they are most unlike the aloof European cat. Anyone who has had a cat of Thai descent will tell you, if you want a companion, get one of these cats. They provide the best pets services around.

The Thai Cat Center operates out of Bangkok and Washington DC. In both locations, we study and breed the cats of Thailand. This includes cats from Thailand, and cats that descend from Thai cats.

Why Not Give a Home to a older Rescued Cat

We Rescue Cats From Thailand

A lot of cats in Thailand could use a good home in America. We are very well connected with the people who rescue cats in Thailand, and when possible, we bring them to America and place them in a good forever home. These cats are older, super nice, and will make a great pet. This is not a profit-making enterprise, we spend our own money to get a cat in trouble here, get that cat appropriate medical treatment, and then make them available to people with room in their house and heart for a cat in need. If you would be interested in such a cat, please be in contact. We charge $500 to adopt a cat from Thailand, which I will add, does not cover the real cost of rescuing a cat from Thailand.

At the moment we have Crystal and her daughter Jaws who need a home. They are both Khaomanee. Crystal is an odd eyed Khaomanee and her daughter is blue eyed.

Crystal had to have a lot of dental work done and is down to a few teeth. She does just fine with not many teeth. Crystal is like a breath of fresh air, literally. She is wispy and elegant and wafts around like a floating leaf. It’s really quite odd. Definitely a ballerina in a former life. Loves to be held and is a favorite cat wherever she goes.

Jaws got her name because she ferociously goes after a toy, always leaving it for dead. She loves to play and is an avid hunter of fake toys. She is also very loving, enjoys being petted, purrs like a machine, and can wrap people around her little paw. Unlike her lady like mother, Jaws is bossy and opinionated.

In the perfect world, I would like them to go to a home together, but they will do fine going to separate homes. I do not recommend people with cats taking in older cats. It’s not easy to get your housecats to accept another cat. It can be done, but, its better left to people who have done it before.

These cats have been through a lot, have flown halfway around the world, and we only place them with people who understand adoption is forever. These two cats are great with us,

But in a new home, it could take days or months for them to settle in. It’s your job to make friends with them and not the other way around. Sometimes its easy, sometimes it takes some work, but its always worth it.

If you are interested either of these cats, please be in touch.
