What is an English Muffin?
English Muffins are a new, wonderful breed we are developing here at Nevada Rain Cats along with My Devine Feline, in Utah. English Muffins (EMs) are adorable their whole lives, sweet and loving, and great with kids. They are 25-75% British Short- or Longhair and share their round, happy faces, and diverse array of colors and coat patterns. English Muffins can be long-haired or short-haired. English Muffins have amazingly soft fur too. Their sweet little faces appear to be smiling and have THE most beautiful eyes. To top off all of this perfection and cuteness, standard English Muffins also have short legs. We currently have four English Muffins at Nevada Rain, Gidget (who can be seen as a kitten in the header above), Peeka, Boo, and Gidget's daughter Breccia. Peeka and Boo will anticipate their kittens in early 2021. Gidget, Peeka, and Boo are 50% British Shorthair. Gidget is a black smoke tabby with green eyes, Peeka is a long haired, black golden tabby also with green eyes, and Boo is a chocolate colorpoint with blue eyes. Breccia is 25% British Shorthair and is our newest addition to our English Muffins. This page on our website is new, so please be patient as we get updated pictures of our young queens. Gidget, Peeka, and Boo have been genetically tested through Optimal Selection and all three are clear/clear for all 50 genetic disorders. Breccia is clear by parentage of all disorders tested for by Optimal Selection as both of her parents, Midas and Gidget have been tested and are all clear.
In 2021, we have added Poppy, Dove, and Poker Face (coming soon) to our English Muffin future queens and Finnegan and Edmond to our kings.

Upcoming English Muffin Queen: Dove

Dove has the sweetest little face and the most adorable eyes. She is the whole reason why we raise English Muffins. She is solid black, short legged, carries colorpoint, long hair, cinnamon, and spice and everything nice. She also has a 66.6% chance of carrying dilute. She is cleared by parentage for all 50 disorders tested upon by Optimal Selection (see Kuvo and Scooter's results above). Dove is very likely staying here at Nevada Rain. We'd love to watch her grow. Dove is blood group A which is just what we were hoping for!! Someday we'd love to have kittens out of Dove and Edmond for Dominant Blue Eyed (DBE) or odd-eyed (also DBE) black and blue and cinnamon/fawn or chocolate/lilac kittens and she'd also have adorable kittens out of Hughie or Finnegan as well.

English Muffin Queen
Gidget: Black Smoke with GREEN eyes
Gidget was born and raised right here at Nevada Rain. Her father is a handsome silver shaded purebred British Shorthair from champion European lines, Iroh, that now lives in Arizona and her mother is my most cherished queen, Mira. Gidget had her first litter in 2020 and it was a wonderful litter of six beautiful, healthy shorties with great personalities. Five are all happily living in their new homes and Breccia, one of her daughters, is staying here at Nevada Rain. She can be found near the bottom of this page.

Peeka: Black Golden Spotted Tabby (ny 24) English Muffin
Peeka is THE MOST adorable cat I've ever been around. Everything about her oozes cuteness!! When I first saw her, I knew I had to have her. I thought that she'd become an adult and much of her cuteness would go away, but I was wrong. She's just as darling now as she ever was. Peeka peeks out through her beautiful green eyes and whatever might be bothering you goes away. She's funny and happy and just loves being her. Please see Peeka's genetic testing results below. Peeka should have a diverse array of colors, hair lengths, and patterns. She was clear for all 50 disorders tested for as well. We expect a litter out of Peeka and Iroh in late March of 2021. This English Muffin litter will be 75% British Shorthair.

Boo: Chocolate Colorpoint English Muffin
Boo is the perfect kitty. She is so beautiful and ever so perfect in her personality too. Boo is a sweet, chatty, playful queen that is such a pleasure to be around. She loves to be held and caressed just under her ears but never makes demands. She's also a lot of fun, silly and animated. Her coat is extremely soft and beautiful and her short little legs give her that perfect look that everyone is asking about. I know for sure that Boo will have an impact at Nevada Rain. She's already stolen our hearts and I'm sure her kittens will capture others' hearts in the near future. Boo's genetic results are below. Thus far, she is our only chocolate cat and she also carries cinnamon as does her sister Peeka. We can't wait to see her kittens in the future. She can have long and short haired kittens in a variety of colors and patterns. Boo's current English Muffin litter can be found on the Available kittens page soon. This litter was born the end of July. There are standard and non-standard munchkin, English Muffins, in this litter. They are gorgeous!! Updated 7/31/21.

Standard Munchkin Queen: Livvy
Livvy is our mitted blue and cream tortie, standard munchkin queen that carries colorpoint, chocolate, and is dilute. Her dna results are below and show that she does not carry a single copy of any of the tested upon disorders at Optimal Selection. She is beautiful and an absolute delight to be around. She is playful, bright, and so comical. We just adore her!! She is owned by my youngest daughter, and Livvy is the daughter of Scooter, and Gurt, our retired cream manx. Livvy currently has an English Muffin litter sired by Kuvo, born in July of 2021. Livvy is 25% British blood, making her one of our English Muffin queens. Her and Kuvo's kittens are 62.5% British Shorthair.

Scooter: She’s just beautiful and sweet and has produced some absolutely perfect kittens, like Livvy above. Scooter is a mitted seal traditional colorpoint. Scooter is colorpoint and carries dilute and chocolate. Let me know if you'd like to reserve a kitten in Scooter's next litter. They're always reserved quickly. Scooter's dad is a Scottish Fold, so Scooter is 50% British blood, and is one of our English Muffins.
