The Ukrainian Levkoy was developed in Ukraine by Elena Biriukova in 2000. The breed was created by crossing hairless Donskoy females with Scottish fold males
The Ukrainian Levkoy is a highly unique, deeply affectionate, and completely striking breed developed in Ukraine by crossing the hairless Donskoy with the Scottish Fold. They possess a sleek, hairless body, highly distinct folded ears, and are a fascinating, wildly popular cat breed in Eastern Europe.
The Levkoy forms an incredibly intense, clingy bond with their family, possessing a loud, demanding voice and a highly dog-like demeanor. Quirky, alien-inspired cat names are very fitting. Owning a Levkoy requires a massive commitment to specialized pet care: their skin requires regular bathing, moisturizing, and absolute protection from sunburn and cold. They are also prone to severe cartilage issues from the Fold gene.
