I am interested in acquiring, for show and breeding, a chincilla kitten, or a black smoke kitten. I am quite prepared to wait for the right cat. I need a foundation cat with large ears, and a long tail. I am also concerned about any genetic problems, particularly those regarding teeth. My premier male and pet female from the same litter both have severe teeth and gum problems unrelated to general health issues. I would appreciate any pictures that might be floating around out their of the chincilla color. I have only heard of its glory. Best regards. sheila joyner, MD
