Confusion exists not only in the name but also in the sources of the breed’s origin. It was rumored to be a mixture of the long-haired Abyssinian and the Havana Brown. It was believed that the first Chantilly-Tiffanys became extinct until a married couple – a cat and a cat – were found when a house was sold in New York in 1967. They are considered to be the progenitors of all modern Chantilly-Tiffany’s. This breed has been known for over 50 years but is extremely rare. Some experts believe that it can be considered extinct; there are heated debates on the subject.
