Singapuras are generally healthy and active cats, though they are known to have a few specific genetic predispositions that owners should monitor. Regular veterinary checkups are the best way to ensure their long-term well-being.

Things to keep an eye on

Uterine Inertia

high

This condition occurs when a female cat is unable to deliver kittens due to weak uterine contractions. It is a known concern in the breed that may require professional intervention during birth.

Ensure your cat has access to professional veterinary care during pregnancy and the birthing process.

Dental Disease

moderate

Like many small breeds, Singapuras can be prone to plaque buildup and gingivitis if oral hygiene is not maintained. Early detection helps prevent more serious issues.

Introduce regular tooth brushing or dental-approved treats to your cat's daily routine.

Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency

moderate

This is a hereditary condition that can lead to intermittent anemia in some cats. Genetic testing is available to identify carriers of this trait.

Consult your breeder about genetic screening results for both parents before bringing a kitten home.

General patterns, not a diagnosis — always check with your vet.
