Wow this will create some debate. What are your thoughts? I think health before asethetics is important personally but my favourite breed is rescue so ...
I will do a full video on my thoughts this week. I have had both breeds, so I have first hand knowledge as well as handling 1000s in shows over the years.
Here’s some stats:
❌Prohibited Activities: It is now illegal to breed, sell, buy, or import these breeds.
Ownership Restrictions:
😻Existing Pets: Owners who had these cats before January 1, 2026, may keep them only if they were microchipped before that date.
❌New Pets: Any cat born on or after January 1, 2026, or any cat not microchipped before the deadline, is illegal to own.
💸Penalties: Violators can face administrative fines of up to €1,500.
🙀Show Ban: All Scottish Folds and Sphynx cats are now barred from participating in exhibitions or competitions, regardless of when they were born.
Let’s discuss.
