We receive lots of questions about our Siberians. We endeavor to answer each and every one of them.
If we have not covered your particular question, please feel free to email us.
We are located in central Arkansas.
How do you get on our waiting list?
You must talk to us by phone at (501) 941-8361 to get on our waiting list. Getting on our waiting list, gives you first pick of any kittens that become available. This is a great advantage when you are looking for a specific color or particular sex.
No, we must talk by phone or in person before we will take any reservations.
The typical waiting period is 4 to 6 months, however, it can be longer if you want a rare color or pattern. The maximum wait time could be up to a year as Siberian kittens are rare due to the small number of breeders here in the US. We do appreciate your patience as we are at the whim of Mother Nature.
Siberians are considered to have some hypo-allergenic characteristics. Many allergy & asthma sufferers seem to tolerate the Siberian or have little to no reaction after having come into contact with the Siberian. While no official studies have been done, there does seem to be evidence in the number of people and breeders who can have cats in their homes without an allergic reaction.
We only sell breeding rights to established breeders. Eventually, this may change over time but for now, we will not start any new breeders.
Unless this kitten is going on to become a breeder, we do not allow any kitten to leave our home without being spayed or neutered.
Do Siberians do well with other animals?
Yes, in my experience, Siberians do very well with a variety of other domestic animals. The key is introducing them slowly, with supervision and patiently letting them adjust to each other. Some adapt more quickly than others but we can't emphasize enough that animals require their own period of acclimation to their new home and new furry friends.
We have found that our Siberians demonstrate problem solving skills, great leaps of acrobatic activity that defies gravity and quick intelligence. Many Siberians have been leash trained, have been taught to fetch and some even prefer to wash their paws before meals.
Siberians are accepted in all traditional color classes including colorpoint.
Where do we register our Siberians?
In either CFA (Cat Fancier's Association) or TICA (The International Cat Association). However, there are many other organizations that recognize the Siberian such as ACFA, CFF, and WCF, etc..
Yes, in one of the two organizations mentioned above. We sometimes register them in both associations to promote the breed.
They are wonderful cats with dog-like personalities. Siberians are very devoted to their new owners and demand special attention from them. They are very family oriented and will follow you from room to room just to be with you. Siberians are known to be high jumpers and like nothing better to climb. They are very active cats with lots of energy but readily adapt to different lifestyles. If you choose the Siberian, you have chosen a breed of cat unlike any other.
Siberians males weigh from 10-16 lbs. and females are smaller weighing 8-12 lbs. Siberians look great as kittens, then go through an awkward stage as teenagers, start maturing into their frame after a year and then don't fully mature until around five. After five, their best years are coming to fruition and they are in their prime.
Purrsonalities differ with each kitten born but I have not found there to be a great difference in one sex or another. I personally prefer males as they seem to be less high strung than some of my females but it also has a lot to do with the bloodlines they are bred from. Females can also be great pets once they are spayed and are not concerned with finding a mate and having a litter.
There is a common misconception about male kittens. Most males that are neutered before sexual reproduction takes place, usually will not spray and will not be aggressive. Our neutered males are some of the sweetest, mild mannered, and turn out to be some of the biggest teddy bear cats that you will find.
Shipping is two hundred and twenty-five dollars to any destination domestic in the US, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. We are no longer able to ship to Canada due to time constraints and availability of flights. The above price includes the health certificate and the cost of the portable cat carrier.
We offer a comprehensive two year guarantee on every kitten that is born in our cattery.
We require a $200 non-refundable deposit to reserve the kitten of your choice.
We believe that the kittens recover much quicker at this age and heal much faster than at six months or older. This also allows their bodies to focus on growing instead of reproduction. Many studies have been done on early spay/neuter and their findings state there is no size difference in kittens that are altered early vs. six months.
Currently, there are no known health problems specifically associated to the Siberian. The Siberian Cat is considered to be one of the hardiest & healthiest cats bred today.
