About the Burmilla
The Burmilla is a charming breed that originated as an accidental cross between a Chinchilla Persian and a Burmese. It is known for its beautiful "shaded" coat, where each hair is tipped with color over a pale silver base, giving it a sparkling, ethereal appearance. They have a moderate, elegant build, large expressive green (or sometimes aqua) eyes, and a sweet, affectionate personality that blends the best of its parent breeds.
