Scottish Fold Cats - Colors and Patterns with pictures
Scottish Fold cats come in so many beautiful colors and patterns, and each one has its own charm. What they all share, though, is a sweet, gentle personality that makes them such loving companions. Some kittens can be a little shy at first, but with patience, cuddles, and attention, they quickly become playful, loyal, and full of affection.
At PurrfectlyFold in Pennsylvania (PA), we spend a lot of time socializing our kittens, playing with them, and giving them all the love they need. It’s important to us that every kitten leaves us confident, happy, and ready to bring joy into their new family’s home.
We raise Scottish Fold and Scottish Straight short hair kittens in gorgeous golden colors, caring for each one as if they were our own.
Cat associations use EMS (Easy Mind System) codes to identify colors and patterns, making it easy to understand each kitten’s coat type and markings. Our goal is to help you find a kitten that feels like the perfect new family member.
