American Curl coat colors and patterns
An open palette: every color and pattern is accepted, and no registry restricts it. That is why this breed has no color-child pages; there is no per-color search or registry story to tell. The breed's whole visual identity lives in the ears: born straight, curling from 3 to 5 days, set in final shape at about 16 weeks, in an arc from casual to show-quality crescent.
