Burmilla for sale in the Netherlands

Character

Burmillas often combine Burmese enthusiasm with a somewhat calmer companion style. They are usually curious, people-oriented and playful, but each cat must be able to end contact. Provide interactive games and puzzle feeding every day alongside high places and quiet hiding options. With careful introductions many can live with children and other pets. Even a social cat benefits from predictable routines and enough individual resources.

Coat and body care

A shorthaired Burmilla normally needs weekly brushing. A semi-longhaired cat needs more frequent combing around armpits and trousers. Maintain nails, ears and teeth and measure food. Silver tipping says nothing about health. Check for free breathing and dry, clear eyes because selection towards a shorter Persian-type face can compromise function.

Health and choosing a breeder

Chinchilla Persian and Burmese ancestry makes PKD, WNK4 hypokalaemia and GM2 gangliosidosis relevant DNA tests. Also ask for repeated HCM ultrasound and family information on kidney or muscle disease. A carrier is not ill and may sometimes be safely paired with a genetically clear mate. Request the whole mating rather than a marketing label saying “DNA tested”. Choose a functional face, free movement and broad documented ancestry over exceptional silver contrast.
