Our commitment
At The Lykoi Cat Club, we are committed to promoting responsible breeding practices and ensuring the health and well-being of Lykoi cats. We strive to connect prospective owners with ethical and knowledgeable breeders in the UK and beyond.
Health
We prioritize the health and genetic well-being of all Lykoi cats.
If you’re considering a Lykoi cat (or already have one), the key is: while they don’t have many known major breed-specific diseases, their unique coat means their skin and environmental sensitivity are the highest risk areas. With good care, regular vet visits, appropriate indoor living and skin/grooming attention, they can be robust, healthy, and wonderful companions.
Temperament
Lykois are smart, active, affectionate, and unique. They are not your typical “lazy lap cat” breed — they do best when they have things to do, someone to interact with, and space to explore.
They also love being part of the family dynamic. If you’re ready for that kind of engagement, they’re a fantastic companion known for their playful and affectionate personalities.
Because the Lykoi’s temperament pairs with certain lifestyle needs, here are some practical things:
- Toys & climbing space: Given their energy, climbing shelves, cat trees, interactive toys will be important.
- Mental stimulation: Puzzle feeders, games, rotating toys help keep them engaged.
- Quality time with you: They enjoy human company, so spending play-time or interactive time is beneficial.
- Safe, indoor-friendly environment: As they might rove, stalk, explore, but they should be in safe spaces (indoors or a very secure “catio”).
- Supervision with strangers, other pets: They may hang back initially, so allowing them to approach at their pace is good.
Care
Proper care is essential for a happy and healthy Lykoi cat.
If you’re thinking of bringing one into your home (or already have one), this will help you give them the best possible care:
- Indoor living (or secure sheltered outdoor access)
- Warm, cosy bed(s); no drafts
- Climbing/scratching infrastructure
- Bath schedule as needed (e.g., monthly or per vet/breeder guidance)
- Brush 1-2 times per week
- Clean ears weekly (check for wax/oil)
- Trim nails regularly
- Daily check: eyes, skin, coat condition
- High-quality diet, measured portions, fresh water always
- Annual vet check-ups + parasite prevention
- Interactive play & mental enrichment daily
- Check skin for sunburn, dryness, irritation; avoid prolonged direct sun/ exposure
- Monitor body weight and condition; prevent obesity
