Holly is our British Longhair lilac golden shaded (Cy11), a colour that looks like soft champagne with a gentle lilac veil over top. Her coat has that bright golden base, then the light lilac tipping that creates a dreamy, “glowing” finish, especially around the ruff, back, and tail. In longhair, it reads extra luxurious, like she’s wrapped in a warm, silky halo. Holly matters to our breeding program because cy11 is not just pretty, it’s a colour direction. She brings the diluted golden line forward in a clean, consistent way, while keeping the British Longhair look we aim for: plush texture, balanced type, and an easy presence that suits real homes. With thoughtful pairings, Holly supports kittens with softer, warmer golden tones, clean shading, and that calm, sweet temperament that families notice right away. At home, Holly is the gentle “room-mate” who makes everything feel peaceful. She’s affectionate without being pushy, she’ll quietly follow you around, then settle close like she’s keeping you company. If you sit down, she often shows up a minute later, looks at you like you’ve finally made the right choice, then leans in for slow, proper head rubs. She’s warm, polite, and has a soft little purr that starts up fast.
