California Spangled Cats

“House-Leopard” Bred for a Cause

The California spangled cat was intentionally bred to resemble a leopard.

Yet, despite its wild-looking appearance, the cat is extremely docile—preferring the companionship of family and often seeking attention and affection.

In spite of the breed’s popularity, it’s at risk of becoming endangered. Reports indicate that possibly 200 California spangled cats exist today.
