The Cyprus cat, also known as Cypriot cat, is a landrace of domestic cat brought to Cyprus by St. Helen to rid the island of snakes and vermin. The breed is a close relative of the Cyprus Longhair, and it is an athletic and energetic variety found throughout the island of Cyprus. Many Cypriot cats can be found in the cities of Cyprus, including Limassol, Nicosia, Paphos, and Larnaca. In many cases, large populations have become feral.
