The Burmilla is a "created" breed developed over the last 30 years, designed to show the best features of Burmese and Chinchilla, the sweet, loving and playful disposition of the Burmese and the sparkling silver coat, lambent green eyes and the contrast of eye liner and nose liner from the Chinchilla. A very easy breed to live with, quiet and easy going. Not always the life of the party when there are strangers involved, but are very devoted to their owners. This breed has come a long way from the early days of heavy clunky type, woolly coats and short faces, the Burmilla is now an elegant and more refined version of its former self
From the first Miamber Burmilla to Grand in CFA!! Miamber Silver Melody of Kitzn to the most recent in 2019 GD CH Miamber Im It And A Bit of Kasanovakatz. In 2010 four Miamber Burmilla kittens were sent to the Kitzn cattery in Pennsylvania USA to start a Burmilla breeding program. CFA is notoriously conservative and slow to progress new breeds, with very strict criteria to bring a breed to Championship status. Keith Kimberlin of Kitzn cattery worked extremely hard developing a core group of dedicated breeders who invested money and effort in ensuring that as many CFA judges saw Burmilla at CFA shows. In 2014 the CFA voted to accept the Burmilla breed for full Championship status, a record breaking fast track for a new breed!!
Now TICA has also accepted the Burmilla for Championship in the USA.
The Burmilla has come of age and is now a worldwide breed. Miamber Burmillas are also to be found in the Pedigrees of Burmilla in Europe and the United Kingdom as well as New Zealand.

Miamber cattery has invested money in importing new bloodlines into Australia, this has helped the type of our cats to progress. Many thanks to Dee Cattery in the Czech Republic for entrusting us with Xcuse Me I Am Emil Dee*CZ and the Roemah Koetjing Cattery in the Netherlands for Roemah Koetjing Silver Simba. Emil in particular donated some very positive features to our breeding program, our best green eye colour comes from his offspring to our cats.In 2021 we added a US Import Kasanovakatz Reynahs Ethyn to our stud lineup. Ethyn is a lovely Burmilla male who also carries Longhair, I am hoping that we will oneday see some beautiful Longhair Burmilla kittens down from him.
