Tiffany
Origin
The Tiffany (also known as Chantilly-Tiffany or Foreign Longhair) is a North American breed that appeared in the 1960s. Its precise origin is uncertain, but it is thought to descend from longhaired chocolate-coloured cats. After confusion with other breeds and near extinction in the 1980s, the breed was revived by breeders in the US and Canada.
