The Ashera cat breed is a hybrid created from the combination of three different cat breeds: the Bengal cat, the Savannah cat, and the Asian leopard cat. It is considered one of the most expensive cat breeds in the world, with prices ranging from $22,000 to $100,000.
Cats are among the most beloved pets due to their adorable nature and companionship. However, there is a cat breed created in a laboratory that does not come with a price tag of a few hundred dollars; this breed can cost up to hundreds of thousands of dollars and is known as the most expensive cat on the planet: the Ashera cat.
The Ashera cat is considered the most expensive cat in the world.
The Ashera cat is regarded as the largest, rarest, and most expensive domestic cat on Earth. They can reach a height of up to 1 meter, weigh approximately 15 kg, and have a lifespan of 20 to 25 years.
They are created in a laboratory setting.
At the time of its launch, the starting price for this cat was announced by the company at $22,000, but in an auction, the highest recorded price for a female Ashera cat reached $100,000 (equivalent to over 2.3 billion VND).
Dr. Nguyen Huu Tri – a lecturer in the Biology Department (Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry) stated that approximately 100 Ashera cats are produced each year, with around 50 sold in the United States.
This company only produces 100 Ashera cats per year based on orders.
The reason why Lifestyle Pets does not produce many of these cats is that they want to maintain its value; the rarer it is, the higher the selling price. Moreover, customers have to pay in advance and wait up to 9 months to receive their product.
Regarding characteristics, the Ashera cat has a round and relatively small head; its ears are triangular, usually standing upright and facing forward; the eyes are round and large; the nose is small, slender, and triangular, with a black outline often present at the tip.
Customers must pay in advance for 9 months to receive their product.
These cats have a very balanced body shape, with a picturesque proportion featuring a long back, beautifully straight spine, and slender, long legs.
According to a statement from Lifestyle Pets, the Ashera comes in 4 different coat types, with short, fine fur that lies close to the body and is very soft, primarily in colors such as black, dark brown, golden brown, and featuring dark spots or chocolate brown markings.
They can reach a height of 1 meter, weigh up to 15 kg, and live over 20 years.
Among them, the most expensive version of the Ashera today is the Royal Ashera, which features a golden-brown coat with unique spotted patterns. Out of the 100 cats produced each year, only a few possess this limited-edition coat.
Although classified as a noble cat breed, the Ashera is quite friendly with humans, especially gentle and affectionate towards children. Other animals can also coexist harmoniously with these cats.
