The Ukrainian Levkoy is an almost hairless mixed breed that originated in Russia. On a day to day basis, these cats make excellent household pets, especially because they love to hang around and play with children.

Don’t shop if you’re looking to add one of these cats to your home! Here are some interesting facts about Ukrainian Levkoy. 1. Ukrainian Levkoy's origin. With the interest in hairless breeds becoming something of a fashion, breeders across the world are attempting new crosses to achieve the desired hairless look. In 2004, Russian breeder Elena Vsevolodovna Birjukova attempted a cross that involved the bald Donskoy and the Scottish Fold. This created a new breed that incorporated the hairless trait of the Donskoy and the unique, folded-ear trait of the Scottish Fold. The Ukrainian ‘Levkoy’ acquired its name in light of this folded-ear trait, with the Levkoy plant boasting bent leaves. Extremely rare, various out-crosses having contributed to the development of the breed, including the hairless Sphynx. The Ukrainian Levkoy is not recognized by the major international cat associations. 2. Ukrainian Levkoy's Physical characteristics. The Ukrainian Levkoy is a medium-sized cat with a truly unique appearance. Probably, this is the most bizarre domestic cat you have ever come across.
