‘Chinchilla Shorthair Cat’ is a former name for tipped British Shorthair color varieties.
If you’re looking to find yourself a dazzling, adorable, green-eyed pussycat, British Shorthair (BSH) Chinchillas may just be the perfect kitty for you.
Their undercoats are pure white, and their coats on their back, flanks, head, and tails are sufficiently tipped with black, giving it a sparkling silver appearance.
Once your British Shorthair Chinchilla has reached maturity, they will have developed strong legs and a broad chest. Male Chinchillas can weigh around 13 – 20 lb, while females can weigh around 9 – 13 lb.
