Raas

About the Raas

Raas, also known as the Busok(-Raas) or Madura, cat is an endemic breed of domestic cat native to the Madura and Raas Island in Indonesia. Its foundation stock derives from a naturally occurring local variety, that developed as a distinct landrace through long-term isolation of the island's cat population. It is not recognised as a cat breed in one of the major cat registries, though the breed is under development through selective breeding with pedigree registration as a formally standardised breed by local breeder clubs.
