Hi all,

I posted the "Beach cats" also on the Chinchilla Interest Group. Here is a nice comment from a Chinchilla breeder:

My gosh, what an amazing 10 year old!  Cole is going to go far.  I do admire his mother for raising a confident young lad, and believing in his abilities. 

I come across lots of breeders who will not sell their kittens to children.  I have never understood this, as every young person who comes into my home to meet my kittens, has been gentle and shown a keen interest in them.  I know there are exceptions, but mostly, with the right guidance by their parents, they are responsible young people.

Go for it, Cole, I know we will be hearing a lot more from you!

Kind regards

Cindi

Hi Cindi,

O yes: they are so well-cared for. I want to share this with you, and the rest of the Chinchilla Group. 

I never planned the Burmilla ZA project. I only did a "fun" mating between a Burmilla and a Chinchilla to see how a Burmilla looks, because way back, the late aunt Stella Slabber raved about them. Sadly, to my knowledge, only Gale Pomerantz from Gitalaya Cattery bred them in SA (from imported cats). When she emigrated to the USA the early 1990's, no more Burmillas in SA. 

Well, when the late Alan Edwards, who we all know as past member of this group, saw the Burmillas I bred, he wanted to continue, because he was part of the Burmilla breed recognition program in the UK in the 1980's. That is how the Burmilla ZA program started. When Alan passed away, I "inherited" the Burmilla ZA program. 

I started a Burmilla Group as well, Anybody who wants to join, let me know by sendinf me a private email to alidad...@gmail.com. 

The owners of the two beach cats listed the following on the Burmilla ZA website at https://sites.google.com/site/burmillaza/about-me:

Cole and Anneke Rencken, KZN

My name is Cole. I am 10 years old and I love animals.  I have been begging my parents for a cat of my own for all my life and this Christmas my Mom convinced my Dad to buy us not one but TWO cats...

It took a little more convincing from my beautiful mommy to get Dad to agree for us to breed.

I am so excited about breeding because this means that I will have more kittens around me and when I sell the kittens I will be bringing joy to other children.

I just love their cute little faces and I think that I am ready for the responsibility that comes with looking after kittens.

I am super excited about breeding Burmillas because it is like going on a new adventure. This new breed of cats is really amazing and I am so excited that I am going to be a part of it, just like a founding forefather!

Hi all,

I asked permission from Anneke Rencken to share the photos of their beach visit with her Chinchilla and her Longhair Bumilla (also known as a Tiffany).
