What is an English Muffin?
English Muffins are a new, wonderful breed we are developing here at Nevada Rain Cats. They 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.

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 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 at the bottom of this page. Gidget should have kittens out of Kuvo in the spring of 2021. Their English Muffin kittens will be 75% British Shorthair. We expect kittens out of Gidget in March of 2021.

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 English Muffin litter will be fathered by Kuvo for 75% British Shorthair kittens in April of 2021. Their litter can have chocolate, cinnamon, lilac, and fawn kittens (each kitten having a 50% chance of being a standard munchkin)!! We can't wait!!

Breccia- This little black and brown marbled, standard munchkin, English Muffin darlin' is just the cutest thing ever. Look at her!! She's the daughter of Gidget (English Muffin) and Midas (Genetta). Breccia is 25% British Shorthair and is our second English Muffin that we have raised here at Nevada Rain. Breccia is clear by parentage for 50 genetic disorders Midas and Gidget were tested for in 2020 by Optimal Selection. See Gidget's profile above to see her DNA results and Midas's results on the Kings page.
Marigold is our black golden spotted, purebred British Shorthair lady. She arrived at Nevada Rain at the close of 2020 and we have big plans for Marigold. She has many European champions on her pedigree. She will mother some of our first English Muffin litters out of Benjamin and their kittens will be 93.75% British Shorthair. Marigold will also mother purebred British short- and, hopefully, long-haired kittens as well. Marigold is absolutely the sweetest thing around. She is the first at my feet and LOVES playing with the kids. The instant you lay your hands on her, she's purring. She's exactly the personality we want in our English Muffins. Marigold's DNA results are below. She was clear/clear for all disorders and is so purrrfect!! We plan to have purebred British Shorthair kittens out of Marigold and Kuvo in 2021.
