Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Ukrainian Levkoy unique?

The Ukrainian Levkoy is distinctive for its hairless body and folded ears, giving it an appearance that's both striking and unique. Its friendly, social nature also sets it apart from other breeds.

Is the Ukrainian Levkoy hypoallergenic?

While no cat breed is completely hypoallergenic, the Ukrainian Levkoy is often a better choice for allergy sufferers due to its lack of fur. However, its skin can still produce dander, which is the primary allergen.

Despite being hairless, the Ukrainian Levkoy requires regular grooming. Weekly baths are recommended to remove oils from their skin, and ear cleaning, teeth care, and nail trimming are essential parts of their grooming routine.

Levkoys are gentle, affectionate, and quirky cats that love being around people but aren’t too demanding.

How much does a Ukrainian Levkoy cost in India?
