The Havana brown cat is a rare breed. Not only has it struggled to exist over the years, it is the only all-brown cat breed from nose to tail, with the exception of its green eyes.

Although a limited number of Havana brown cats can be found nationwide, their owners profess their popular characteristics: charm, playfulness and affection.

The Havana brown cat is a hybrid creation, the result of breeding a black domestic shorthair cat with a chocolate point Siamese cat in the late 19th century.

The breed was also called “self-brown cat” and “Swiss mountain cat” at one point in time.
