Burmilla
The Burmilla is an elegant breed with a silver-shaded coat and gentle personality. Created accidentally from a Burmese-Persian cross, these beautiful cats make loving family companions.
About the Burmilla
The Burmilla was created accidentally in England in 1981 when a Chinchilla Persian and a Lilac Burmese accidentally mated. The resulting kittens were so beautiful that a breeding program was established.
Burmillas have a semi-long or short coat with a distinctive silver shading. Their eyes are typically green and outlined in black, giving them a striking appearance.
These cats combine the gentle nature of Chinchillas with the playful personality of Burmese. They’re affectionate but not overly demanding.
Burmillas are social and get along well with families, children, and other pets.
