The situation going forward will be reviewed as further information comes to light.  We will keep you informed as quickly as we can with any changes or information  is assessed. 

CCCA Proposals to Breed Standards

Persian and Exotic Standards: 

- Reinstate the “blue-cream” and “lilac cream” categories - ie pastel shades of blue and cream or lilac and cream, softly intermingled to resemble shot silk

- Retain the current standards for blue tortoiseshell and lilac tortoiseshell

 If this change is accepted, kittens will be registered as either blue/lilac tortoiseshell OR blue-cream/ lilac cream.
