A little history and information on the Siberian Cat
Welcome - The Siberian cat is a very old breed in Russia and the Ukraine area. Only recently imigrating to the US in 1990.

This cat has a true triple coat that requires regular grooming. We recommend a metal comb - plastic, we have found tends to mat the coat causing all degrees of static electricity. A nice metal comb, such as the type made by Greyhound (tm) and simulated by several others, is what we choose. Although females do not carry nearly as heavy a coat as the males, they do still require the same type of regular grooming.

As a small hobby breeder, we love to show our kitties. We currently register and show in ACFA, CFA, & TICA. We have had regional and national winners in TICA & UFO, as well as in TAIGA, an independant breed club.

We are America's oldest still active breeder & exhibitor, having first imported the breed in 1992. Since then it has been our love and devotion!

Our kitties are only placed on signed contract, have received 3 vaccine's, been wormed, and vet health checked. We strictly follow the American Asssoc. of Feline Practitioner's (AAFP) guidelines in regards to vaccines.

Please visit our Available Kittens/Kitties page for possible kitties that might be available. Then email us! TheSiberianCat@yahoo.com

The Siberian & Allergy Sufferers
First, no animal is ever "hypo-allergenic". These are living creatures. We have found, through over a decade of experience, that it is 50/50 odds. Those who might have mild allergies, nasal drip/eyes red and watery seem to do very very well with this breed. Those with more severe allergies, such as hives, swollen membranes etc, although they fair better than before, do still react in some way. Many find this an acceptable solution to their allergy in their search for a cat companion. One thing we have noted is specifically, people with immune related disorders, such as Lupus, do still react and with no noted lessoning of symptoms.

We always recommend for allergy sufferers, never EVER to let the cat sleep with you. Use Hepa(tm) filters in your air conditioning, vacuum, and individual rooms; use a hypoallergenic soap in the laundry and wash things often. And ventilate the home well. A closed home allows for a buildup of potential allergens.

At no time, do we guarantee any animal to be hypo-allergenic
