Sokokes can definitely be listed among the more expensive cat breeds. The Sokoke cat price is due to their rarity and unique Sokoke cat personality.
There is much to know and love about this mysterious breed, so come along as we discover all there is to know about the Sokoke.
The first Sokoke cats were found in the greater Arabuko-Sokoke forest of Kenya in 1977.
The Sokoke cats got their name from the forest where they were discovered. Sokoke cats have also gone by “African Shorthair” and “Sokoke Forest Cat” over the years.
One of the relatives is the feral Lamu cat, which is an island-dwelling feline from further up the Kenyan coast.
The Sokoke is a natural breed of kitty, which means they were freely bred and “created” through natural means.
They are currently known as one of the rarest breeds of domestic cats in the world because of their limited breeding and relatively unknown status.
These Sokoke cat characteristics, combined with their high cheekbones and light green or amber-colored eyes, give them quite a striking facade.
