***Please look for the red and green section of our 2023 Breeding Plans below to see our plans for Christmas.
Nevada Rain Cats is a family run, cattery in Northern Nevada. We are located on a ranch northwest of Winnemucca, Nevada. We are working toward producing cats and kittens which we believe make the absolute BEST family pets, English Muffins. The English Muffin breed combines the cute little round smiling faces, gorgeous EYES, nobility and beauty of the British Shorthair, the energetic playfulness, excellent health, and eventually the glitter of the Genettas, with the lifelong cuteness of a munchkin. They are beyond compare in our book!! We are also adding the absolute beauty and unique look of dominant blue eyes and odd eyes and a gorgeous shimmer in their coats glitter. We adore each and every cat we own and our kittens leave us with the best socialization on earth, the love and affection of my children and me.
What sets Nevada Rain apart from most other breeders? First, I'm willing to schedule a FaceTime for you to meet one of my kittens before you reserve him or her. I also genetically test and go the extra mile to ensure that each and every kitten I raise has the best chance at a happy, healthy, and as long of a life as possible. Each of my parent cats are genetically tested or cleared by parentage for all 50 genetic disorders on the most comprehensive test I can find, Optimal Selection. I also have my kittens wellness checked by my vet before they go to their new homes.

Up-and-coming king, William
William is the whole package of English Muffin! He is genetically blue silver tabby, but that color is masked by the solid white gene. He carries Burmese colorpoint and is A blood group. He is an odd-eyed hunk of wonderful that opens up a whole new realm of possibilities here at Nevada Rain. William is currently being raised here and we hope his future is bright and fertile! He was special, unique and PURRRfect from the start! For more information, genetic testing results for him and his parents, Wink and Daichi, as well as lots of pictures, visit the Available Kittens page to see William, the English Muffin Queens page to see his mom, Wink, and the Purebred British Shorthair page to see his dad, Daichi.
In the picture below (taken 11/5/23), you can see green is starting to appear near the center of William's eye on the left in this picture. That eye will be green, but the other eye will be blue. I think he's going to have magnificent eye color because his eyes are really dark as a kitten. When I video him, with my camera flash on, his blue eye reflects red and his green eye reflects blue.

Paxton is the handsome little fellow below. He was born in the spring of 2022 and he stole my heart right off the bat. He's a 75% British Shorthair, English Muffin. He's on our English Muffin Kings page if you want to check him out. The pictures below were taken at about a week of age, left, about a month old, about two months old, and at 10 months of age, on the far right. Paxton's dad is Watson on the Purebred British Shorthair page. PAXTON IS A DAD!! Check out his beautiful babies on the Available Kittens page. HOLY MOLY are they gorgeous!! Paxton's kittens are my favorite kittens I've ever had. They are so sweet, some even have a cute little habit of prancing about with a little question mark tail, just like Paxton's mom, Peeka. Love them!!!

2023 Breeding Plans
***It makes my heart happy to know that we are currently producing wonderful English Muffins, as we did throughout 2022. There are English Muffins across the USA making their families so very happy and THAT does my heart good. We'd like to continue raising English Muffins fathered by Watson and Hughie in 2023. They produced some beautiful kittens in 2022 in a wide variety of colors, wonderful personalities, and with those perfect round faces we adore. All of the kittens we produced in 2022 were short haired and are now living in their happy homes all across the country, from Boston to LA. We hope to continue producing kittens like those we produced in 2022 though 2023 as well.
***In 2023, we'd like to focus on bringing the glitter gene into our English Muffins. For a short explanation of what the glitter/shimmer gene is, check out our English Muffin Kings page and scroll down a bit. Sherbet is our glitter carrying red seal mink bicolor and we'd love to keep a couple of his daughters who carry glitter as well. We already have one glitter carrying female we plan to keep and that is Minkie (Sherbet X Mrozy mink torbie shorty female). In 2023 we've added a glitter carrying king, Dickens, from My Divine Feline in Utah, and it's possible that we could be producing Shimmering English Muffins (English Muffins that show glitter) in early 2024. If you've never seen a glittered cat, they shine in the light and their coat appears to have glitter on it. It's absolutely gorgeous. Google it!! We have Sherbet and Mrozy's daughter, Minkie, who carries glitter and is our first home-raised glitter carrying English Muffin.
***We had our first Dominant Blue Eyed (or odd eyed with one eye being blue) English Muffin litters this year and kept Sapphire, who is a very special young lady. We hope she will add to the unique kittens produced in 2024.
Christmas of 2023:
***We're rounding out 2023 with our Nevada Rain Christmas litter plans. If you are looking for an English Muffin Christmas Kitten, here are the litters we have planned and expect to arrive in time to be ready just before Christmas or will be ready early next year.
1. Wink and Daichi had an all white litter the last day of September. All kittens will be short haired English Muffins and can have blue, green, gold, or odd eyes. These kittens will be ready to go right before Christmas, although we are considering keeping two out of the three kittens in this litter.
2. Livvy and Daichi expect a litter in early November that will be ready after Christmas. This litter will be all short haired English Muffins that can be red or cream (males only), silver and blue silver, and silver and blue silver calicos.

Shimmery English Muffin Dreams:
Below, are Minkie, left, and Dickens, right, our first glitter carrying pair of English Muffins. Both of these beauties are 50% British Shorthair, standard (dwarf) English Muffins. Dickens came to us from My Divine Feline in Utah and Minkie was raised right here at Nevada Rain. We are REALLY hoping these two will be the beautiful parents of our first Shimmery English Muffins. Each of their kittens would have a 25% chance of showing glitter by getting the glitter gene from each parent. We plan to keep the first Shimmery English Muffins, so we can offer more shimmery kittens to you. It'll take us a little while to get our breeding program going, but rest assure that once we do, they will be amazing!!
If you'd like to know more about our Shimmery English Muffin breeding plans or you're not sure what the glitter gene is, please go to our English Muffin Kings page and read more about glitter there or just Google it. It's a gene most popular in the Bengal breed.

Genetic Testing Through Optimal Selection:
We are so proud to say that all of our English Muffin foundation breeding cats are genetically tested through Optimal Selection for around 50 genetic disorders, color, traits and blood type or cleared by parentage (both parents are tested and neither parent carries any of the tested upon disorders). If you are interested in one of our kittens, please don't be afraid to ask for these genetic results. I'd be proud to share them with you. They can also be found below each of our cats on our breeding cat pages, Purebred British Shorthair page, as well as our English Muffins Queens and Kings pages.
