We are a small hobby cattery raising kittens in our home. Our hope to answer common questions
about Siberians as well as our practices. Please feel free to email us with questions about
the Siberian breed or about purchasing a kitten from us.
Can we visit the cattery? Visitors are welcome at our home. First time visitors are asked to submit a Kitten Application form prior to their visit.
Can we allergy test with the cats? We allow individuals with cat allergies to test with our Siberians. We ask that you read our Cattery Visitation page and fill out a Cattery Visitation form prior to your visit.
How do we reserve a kitten? You can request a Kitten Reservation form by Email. When we receive the form and a $50 kitten deposit, we will place you on our reservation list.
Are Siberian cats hypoallergenic? We have found large variations within the breed, but some Siberians like Larisa and Kaleriia cause few allergic reactions. Both of these girls have tested low for allergen levels in saliva and fur. As a breed, Siberians often cause lower allergic response than other cat breeds. If you are allergic to cats, please read our Allergies page and feel free to contact us for more details.
Why choose a small home cattery? Cats imprint between two and eight weeks of age. During this period they need considerable daily physical contact with people to become affectionate pets and to lose their natural fears. Some catteries raise kittens in cages. Raised in this manner, kittens lack interaction with people and their behavior is very unpredictable.
How much do kittens cost? Our prices are comparable with other Siberian catteries in our region. Prices vary based on hypoallergenic testing and breed conformation. Feel free to contact us for information about a specific litter.
Can kittens be shipped? We prefer kittens are picked up at the cattery if possible. When needed, we are willing to ship within the United States. We charge a flat fee of $300 for airfare, carrier, and flight certificates.
What is your health guarantee? We have selected our breeding cats from lines with low genetic health risks. Our cattery is free from FIP, FelV and other contagious diseases. Prior to leaving the cattery each kitten will received a veterinary exam and will be certified free of disease and parasites. All kittens are sold with a one-year warranty against genetic and congenital disorders.
Are the kittens registered? Pet kittens will be registered with TICA or CFA, and papers will be held until neutering requirements are met. Breeder kittens will be registered with both TICA and CFA.
When are kittens neutered? Studies on early neutering have been very comprehensive and show no adverse effects. We recommend neutering males at three to four months. Female kittens should be spayed at five or six months of age.
How are males and females different? Adult female Siberians are smaller than males, averaging 9 to 14 lbs. Adult males will weigh 12-18 lbs. There is little difference in behavior or affection between neutered males and females. Once neutered, males make wonderful companions and do not spray. |
