In the 1970s, a cat living in Kenya British woman JENI SLATER adopted a female cat and her kittens, who later became the originator of Sokoke. A friend of JENI's, Canadian native CLORIA MOLDRUP, later brought the two kittens back to Denmark and started a regular improvement program in 1980. All cats are sourced from JENI SLATER's cat house. MOLDRUP started a breeding program with other breeding specialists. In 1983, the variety was named Sokoke. It was officially recognized in Denmark in 1992 and gradually recognized in other countries.
