What to expect and ask for from us as Siberian Breeders.

1.You have a guarantee that your kitten will be healthy. Kittens from us will be checked by a vet just before leaving, will have their first and/or appropriate number of vaccinations, and will be guaranteed such that if a hereditary disease is discovered in the first two years of life, you will be entitled to a replacement kitten if your cat dies from that disease.

2. You have a guarantee that the kitten has the parents and pedigree stated. All kittens should be registered or eligible to be registered in TICA or CFA. Registration is available upon submitting proof the cat has been spayed or neutered.

3. You can inspect the cattery and visit your kitten before purchase or at any time after your kitten has been assigned to you. The cattery will be kept clean, the cats live with us in our home and the kittens are all socialized by living as part of our family.

4. You have our guarantee that our adult cats have all been tested for FIV and FeLV and found negative. We do regular worming, checking stool samples for parasites, checking for ringworm and feed quality food. We also do not buy or breed cats from lines known to have or carry hereditary disease such as PKD or HCM, no matter how prestigious the pedigree. There is no such thing as an HCM-free cattery, there are no DNA tests for Siberians for HCM, and disease usually does not show up on heart scans until the cats are older - sometimes past breeding age. But we choose to avoid those suspect lines. PKD and HCM are suspected to come only from very few lines and can be largely avoided.

5. We also do not breed colorpoints although some of our cats carry colorpoint and we may have colorpoint kittens occasionally.

6. We test our cats for level of allergen - if you are allergic, let us know and we'll see that you get kittens from parents who are the lowest possible in Fel D1, the most frequent cat allergen.

7. Any information on our kittens is fully disclosed - their healthy, growth record, eating and litter box habits, personality.

8. 8.Addendum to the contract - should you prove to be allergic to the kitten and have to return it, we will find a home. You will lose your $200 in deposits, but if we can sell the kitten quickly for a reduced price, that is normally how it is with older kittens/cats, we will reduce the price we sold it for by your deposits and refund the rest to you. This is because it makes us look for a new home, screen new people and possibly have to sell the kitten to a non-allergy home. This all takes time and money.... but we will be there and you will not be forced to take the kitten to a shelter or anywhere else. Please come to us in this case!
