Buying a Burmilla
Buying a Burmilla is a big decision, and it is important to feel confident throughout the entire process. On Get a Pet, you can compare current listings from both breeders and private sellers, see price, age, and location, and contact sellers directly.
All listings show essential information about the dog, so you can easily decide whether it fits your lifestyle and circumstances.
What kind of temperament does a Burmilla typically have?
They are generally affectionate, people-oriented cats with a playful yet gentle nature. Many are sociable without being overly demanding and tend to enjoy following their owners around the home. They are often good with respectful children and can adapt well to calm multi-pet households.
How much grooming does a Burmilla need, especially the semi-longhaired type?
Shorthaired individuals usually need a quick brush once a week to control shedding and keep the coat glossy. Semi-longhaired cats benefit from brushing 2 to 3 times weekly so the fine, silky fur does not tangle, especially around the trousers, belly, and ruff. Regular nail trims and ear checks are also recommended.
Are Burmillas good indoor cats or do they need outdoor access?
They adapt very well to indoor living and often thrive as indoor-only cats if given enough vertical space, play, and human interaction. Secure outdoor access such as a catio or supervised garden time is ideal but not essential. Because of their friendly, curious nature, unsupervised roaming can carry higher risks.
Do Burmillas have any common health issues owners should know about?
They are generally healthy, but lines that trace back to Persian-type cats may have a higher risk of polycystic kidney disease, so responsible breeders often screen for this. Some can also be prone to dental issues and weight gain if under-exercised. Regular veterinary checkups and appropriate diet and dental care are important.
How active and playful is a Burmilla compared with other cats?
They are moderately active, with bursts of playful energy similar to their Burmese ancestry, but they are usually less intense. Many enjoy interactive toys, puzzle feeders, and short play sessions throughout the day. As adults they often balance playfulness with a calm, relaxed demeanor around the home.
Is a Burmilla a good choice for families with children or other pets?
They can be a good fit for families because they tend to be tolerant, sociable, and interested in people. Most do well with polite children and can coexist peacefully with friendly cats and cat-safe dogs if introductions are done gradually. They do best in homes where they are not left completely alone for very long periods.
What is special about the Burmilla’s coat color and shading?
The coat is known for its distinctive shaded or tipped pattern over a pale base, often giving a soft, sparkling look. Each hair typically has color only on the tip or outer part, which creates a subtle, shaded effect rather than solid color. Silver varieties are especially popular, though other base colors exist.
How did the Burmilla breed originate?
The breed began in the early 1980s from an accidental mating between a Burmese and a Chinchilla Persian in the United Kingdom. The kittens had an appealing combination of the Burmese body and temperament with the shaded coat of the Persian. Careful breeding then established a distinct, recognized breed.
Are Burmillas vocal, and how do they usually communicate with their owners?
They are typically more softly spoken than many Burmese, using gentle chirps and quiet meows rather than loud, constant vocalization. Many communicate with body language and will follow their owners or nudge for attention. Persistent, excessive calling is less common but can occur if they are bored or lonely.
How big do Burmillas get and what body type do they have?
They are medium-sized cats with a muscular yet elegant build and a slightly rounded head. Adult weight often falls in the range of about 3 to 6 kilograms, depending on sex and individual lines. They should feel solid and well-toned rather than fine-boned or heavyset.
