Australian Tiffanies

Red Australian Tiffanies!!!!

Australian Tiffanies are a relatively new breed of cat.

First there was the Burmilla..............

In 1981 there was an accidental mating between a lilac Burmese and a male Chinchilla which resulted in four black shaded silver female kittens. The owner Miranda Bickford-Smith was so impressed with the kittens and working with Therese Clark the Burmilla breed was born. The name came from BURM-ese and chinch -ILLA. The Burmilla is a shorthair agouti cat with a silver base and coloured shading or tipping as the contrast.

The Burmilla breed comes in both long and shorthair.

In the UK the longhair Burmilla was mated back to the Burmese and these are called Tiffanies

Then there was the Australian Tiffanie.............

In Australia the longhair Burmilla was mated back to the Chinchilla and the Australian Tiffanie or Austiff as it is affectionately known was born.
