Only Long Hair Pets Are Allowed At the Fluffytorium Pop-Up Petting Zoo

Guests visiting the pop-up petting zoo are invited to play with pets such as Zog the chow chow, Milan the poodle, or Pearla the Persian cat.

What do Penelope the Persian cat and Bella the Pomeranian have in common?

They’re both long-haired animals spotlighted in London’s new Fluffytorium.

Guests visiting the pop-up petting zoo are invited to play with animals like Zog the chow chow, Milan the poodle, or Pearla the Persian cat.

Officials said the storefront was opened as a response to the growing popularity of short-haired pets due to allergy concerns.

The event was also held to promote the upcoming book, Guinness World records: Amazing Animals.

"We get thousands of claims every week through the Guinness World Records offices and pets are a very popular area,” Guinness editor-in-chief Craig Glenday told APTN. “So for us, it's an exciting new venture and the chance to spend time with some amazing creatures, like Penelope."
