The LaPerm

vet clinic Salem VA

The LaPerm is a feline breed that is pretty much named for its permed or extremely wavy coat. In fact, the coat has excessive waves and ripples giving it the appearance that it has actually had its coat rolled with curlers or permed. The LaPerm originated by accident in the 1980s on a farm in Oregon when a cat gave birth to a litter of six kittens. Due to a mutated gene, one of the kittens was born completely bald. It was thought the cat would remain bald, but within a few weeks time, a curly, soft coat started to grow in. It was discovered that the mutated LaPerm gene is dominant and carried in both females and males. The LaPerm comes in almost every color or color pattern. The cat has a loving personality and is gently, friendly as well as active. Learn more here or call your vet clinic Salem, VA.
