Welcome to the Curl Essence 
American Curl Cat Website

The American Curl cat is becoming more  popular as more people are learning about this unique and special breed of cats. Curl Essence has been an American Curl breeder since 2004.  We started with champion line American Curl Cats from Procurlharem. 

The American Curl is frequently described as
"The Dog in Cat Fur"...
or
"The Peter Pan of Cats"

​​ Our About Us page tells the entire story about how we started as a casual American Curl breeder to one of the top American Curl Breeders in the world actively showing in both CFA and TICA.  

We hope you will read more about how to evaluate American Curl Cats on the Curl Standard educational website we put together to train new breeders, judges and American Curl owners on how to evaluate a Curl at www.theamericancurlstandard.com.
