Devon Rex: An Elfin Cat With a Cult Following
The enormous ears and expressively large eyes of the Devon Rex help make identification of this breed easier, but their vaguely grumpy faces contradict their reputation as bright, affectionate, and energetic pets that often remind pet parents of dogs more than cats. That’s because this elf-like appearance reflects a personality that’s perpetually kittenish. The Devon Rex craves regular companionship, but it returns that favor with plenty of praise to lavish upon its human friends.

And while their faces may make them unique, these exotic cats actually appear in a variety of different colors. Their wavy coat can manifest shaded, smokes, or pointed patterns in addition to solid colors. Their rarity means you might have some trouble finding the right combination of colors and patterns you want, but the typical Devon Rex kitten will cost anywhere between $600 and a grand.

Turkish Van: A Rare, Beautiful Middle Eastern Breed
While they’re sometimes mistaken for a color variation of the Turkish Angora, the Turkish Van is actually its own rare breed with its own distinct lineage and a history longer than the average house cat breed. While they proliferated throughout Iran, Iraq, and Turkey in ancient times, they wouldn’t be introduced to Europe until the Crusades and wouldn’t reach America until the 1950s. These rare types of cats can credit their unique appearance to the piebald gene: a rare gene that expresses itself through a white fur base and colored markings that are primarily concentrated around the head and tail.

The fur of this breed is both soft like cashmere wool and resistant to water despite being single-layered. Their coat is semi-long but really has two different lengths depending on the season. The also have blue or amber eyes, or the may even have a combination of both. It’s said that they have come from solid white cats from the area around Lake Van located in Turkey.
These are big cats with big personalities, and they distinguish themselves from the average house cat thanks to their love for swimming. Members of this exotic breed are mostly bred in Europe and the United States — and there are only about a hundred members of this breed born in the latter every year.

Bombay: The Parlor Panther
If you didn’t know better, it would be easy to mistake the Bombay for a miniature version of wild cats — but while this house cat may look like a tiny panther, the facts show us that it doesn’t carry the DNA of wild cats any more than other domesticated breeds. Instead, the aesthetic of Bombay was specially bred from black domesticated shorthairs and sable Burmese cats. Bombay also distinguishes itself from wild cats like the jaguar thanks to its sociable nature
They combine the curiosity of a monkey with the affectionate and loyal sense of play you’d find in a domesticated dog. The result is a cat that’s sometimes alarmingly clever but also one that loves to burrow under the covers and share body heat with its human companions. Part of this breed’s rarity can be traced to the fact that it’s only existed since the 1950s. Its name is a reference to its resemblance to the Indian jaguar, and the first Bombay was actually born in the United States in 1964.

Snowshoe
With its white muzzle and feet, dark "points," and blue eyes, the Snowshoe looks like what it was bred from: a Siamese with white "boots" that turned up in the litter of a Siamese breeder in Philadelphia in the 1960s. The particular Snowshoe look is difficult to breed, so registered purebred Snowshoe cats are rare. But there are many cats in shelters who have some or all of its traits, such as the white paws, dark mask, and beautiful blue eyes—so if you’re interested in this kind of cat, you can always get "the look for less."

Let’s be real, polydactyl cats give the best high-fives. Errr, high-sixes. Also known as "mitten cats" or "thumb cats," polydactyls have a genetic mutation that gives them more than the usual number of toes on one or more feet. Polydactyl cats can have anywhere from six to eight toes per paw. The extra toes sometimes make them look like their paws have thumbs. While polydactyly can happen in many different animals (including humans), it’s arguably cutest in cats. Writer Ernest Hemingway certainly thought so—he himself was a polydactyl owner, and the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum is now home to some 50 polydactyl cats.
