She likes to live in a group and therefore should not be kept as a single cat. To date, no breed-related diseases are known in the German Angora.

Origin

The German Angora would be bred from the last semi-longhaired domestic cats, which in Germany still on lonely farms partly already for generations was native. The name “German Angora cat” is protected and may only be used by breeders of the 1st GACC.
