I love the Toyger breed so much and I'm hyped as heck to talk about them. These cats are bred to look like little tigers! They are one of the newest breeds of cat starting in just 1980. They were bred off of a mackerel tabby that had a change in fur pattern from the usual forehead "M" to two dots, like that of a tiger. They are a crossbred of bengals and short-haired tabbies. They are larger and longer than normal domestic cats. The goal of this cat breed is to discourage ownership of endangered big cat breeds by those who don't know how to take proper care of them (for example Carol Baskin and Joe Exotic from Tiger King on Netflix). They are outgoing and friendly getting along with other pets, strangers, and children. They are rare to find for adoption because they are such a new breed.

Yes Tiger King! Thats is crazy how breeding of cats works and how similar they can get them to look like tigers. I can definitely see why they are rare to try and adopt!
