Famed for fleece as soft as a cloud, the Angora rabbit traces to ancient Anatolia, sharing a heritage with Angora cats and goats.

Its real rise began in 18th-century France, where nobles prized the rabbits as emblems of elegance.

Arriving in America in the early 1900s, the breed soon split into several lines; ARBA now recognizes English, French, Giant, and Satin Angoras.

The English is a full-fur “pom-pom,” the French shows a cleaner face, the Giant pairs size with wool, and the Satin adds striking sheen.

Gentle temperaments make Angoras fine pets, but their coats demand diligent brushing, especially during molts.

Beyond grooming, care mirrors other rabbits: unlimited hay, fresh greens, limited pellets, and safe space for daily exercise.
