Our Siberian cats are not just "TICA Registered". They are TICA Champions. We are registered with BOTH the CFA & TICA because these are the registries we use to certify or Siberian cats. When Siberian cats arrive from other countries (for example, in Russia, this is WCF), they are also registered with the feline pedigree organization of their home country. Upon arrival to the USA, they are then are then transferred to TICA and/or the CFA and become part of the Siberian cat registry in the USA

The main allergen in cats is FelD-1. Siberians are low in this allergen. The main cause of cat allergies in people is FelD-1. FelD-1 is transferred to fur by licking & grooming. Dried saliva & dandruff are spread from cat hair as small airborne particles into the surrounding environment. FelD-1 levels vary with each individual cat. The Siberian breed has an overall far-lower level of FelD-1 than other cat breeds. Typically, people with average cat allergies can comfortably be placed with most Siberians. 

We have found that neither sex nor color is related to FelD-1 levels. Some research indicates that tabbies have the lowest levels of FelD-1 & cats with white fur or very silvery fur have the highest. There is not enough stable & consistent data to confirm this, however. Reality about FelD-1: every single cat has a different FelD-1 level. Typically people with average cat allergies can comfortably be placed with most all Siberians.

As indicated above: every single cat has a different FelD-1 level. We do not offer testing. And we do not offer fur or blanket samples, as this is not an accurate way to test for this protein. Three saliva samples are required to accurately test for the FelD-1 protein & it can only be done after the specific cat is 4 months old. The cost of this test is expensive. 85% of allergy sufferers do fine with Siberians.

The way to visit us is to visit us at a TICA Cat Show. 

We attend at least 3 shows each year. Please research the Siberian breed to learn more about Siberians & see if they are a good choice for your needs & lifestyle. We suggest using sources that are experts on cat breeds, such as TICA, as opposed to opinion articles (the internet has endless opinions and not all of them are accurate). 

Most of catteries that maintain the Siberian cat are from Russia, since this is the origin of the breed - but some are in the Czech Republic, Singapore and France and many other countries. Some of the pedigrees that you will find here are from Sibay*RU Siberian Cats, Astera Siberians Cats, Tavaloga Siberian Cats, Siberian Sapphire Siberian Cats, GIV*Neva Siberian Cats, Barselit Siberian Cats, ForestHunter Siberian Cats, and others.  One of the things that makes the Siberian cat such an extraordinary breed of cat is that it is a NATURAL breed of cat; the Siberian cat is a highly resilient and very healthy breed. Health and structure are primary goals.

Your Siberian must be pet and engaged with daily - like any pet should be - so that they get used to being around humans. However, it is very important that you start socializing your Siberian the day you take him or her home by following these instructions: 

Hold your Siberian close to you at least an hour a day, everyday, for the first 4-5 months. Pet your Siberian every day. Give your Siberian love. When you take your Siberian home, understand that your Siberian will be going to a totally new place and that will feel scary for a few days. This is normal. However, the way that your Siberian will be socialized, the way your Siberian will adapt, and the way your Siberian will be comforted will greatly be determined by how you engage in the critical first weeks of bringing your Siberian home.

Siberians are a very grounded, intelligent, adaptable cat breed. They are teachable, they listen and learn, and they are sweet and cuddly. 

The first two weeks that you have your Siberian is the most critical transition period. Make it a point to hold your Siberian. When you talk to your Siberian, make eye contact, feel love for your Siberian - your Siberian will respond to you in a good way. If you have only one Siberian, you may also find that your Siberian does best being in the same room as you, as they are social cats.

Making your Siberian feel safe (see above) is ½ of training your Siberian. The other ½ is being unwavering with what you decide is not acceptable behavior. 

Please observe these two very important points:

1. You are a new adoptive parent. Take initiative to comfort and hold your Siberian during the transition period/first couple weeks of bringing your Siberian home (more info above); 

2. Be certain of yourself when you discipline/teach your Siberian (do not feel guilty, unsure, or be inconsistent with training your Siberian). 

Cats are intelligent and intuitive. Determine (have a talk with yourself) before you bring your Siberian home about what behaviors are not okay. Scratching furniture is an obvious one. Therefore, be confident that this isn’t allowed. When you find your Siberian attempting to scratch something other than their cat tree or scratching post (note: make sure they DO have acceptable things to scratch), immediately go up to them with a FIRM “NO!” and firm clap of the hands. 

Another possible “issue” is that you may find that your Siberian is “too playful” and wants to interact all the time. If you find that your Siberian bites too hard at any time when playing, again, be firm and immediately physically stop him and say “NO!”. Also, make sure his needs are being met. Sometimes biting or “being annoying” is a way that a cat will express a need (do they have food that they like, water, clean litter?). Think about if there is a message your cat is trying to relay to you. 

Another issue that can happen is confusion around the litter box placement or a dirty litter box or not enough litter boxes. If your Siberian is going to the bathroom outside the litter box, you need to check a few things: there should be one litter box for approximately every 600-800 sq ft of your house. So if you have a regular one level rambler, you need to have 2 litter boxes. If you have a big house - more like 3000 sqft - you need to have at least 3 litter boxes. And - VERY IMPORTANT! - scoop the boxes daily. You should also dump and fully replace the litter at least once a week.

With regard to litter training at your home, to start: limit the size of the area you expose your Siberian to when you first adopt. Do not give your new Siberian the full range of your whole house immediately upon bringing him or her home. Why? Because they might not be able to easily find the litter box. So, in the first few days, keep your Siberian in a contained area of your home to ensure your Siberian learns, and becomes familiar and comfortable wtih, the litter box locations. 

If you still find yourself unable to figure out how to connect with your cat, consider contacting a Cat Behaviorist; many are available both in person - and even easier - on Zoom. Oftentimes what Cat Behaviorists train is the pet owner. And once the pet owner knows how to act and behave, the cat follows suit.

The earliest known reference of Siberians are from 1000AD. In 1989 breeders from Leningrad & Moscow applied for the registration of the Siberian Cat to the SFF. Registration was approved in 1990s (Certificate №1). At the same time the colorpoint Siberian was registered as a "unique color variety" of the Siberian with a second name: "Neva Masquerade" (Certificate №2). Siberians are still a fairly rare breed, though they are gaining popularity. 

TICA describes the Siberian breed as a "strong, slow-maturing breed reaching full magnificence at about 5 years of age". Siberians can reach up to - and sometimes over - 20 pounds once fully grown. Allowing the Siberian to grow to their full & thick stature is the best way to care for your Siberian. A big, heavy Siberian is not likely "overweight"; rather, it is fulfilling its HEALTHY genetic disposition. Siberian cats have dog-like, extroverted personalities and beautiful bushy fur. We feel the Siberian cat is superior, as most individuals with allergies will not react negatively to the Siberian. Because the Siberian is a "natural breed" (a rural forest cat), it is very healthy and is prone to far less genetic illnesses or diseases as more modified breeds such as the Maine Coon or Persian. However, keep in mind that - with any living being - there is no such thing as a 100% guarantee from sickness or illness. 

Some of our Kings and Queens have direct and documented lineage from these great, great grandparents - the first registered Siberians! - from the 1990's.

Absolutely. We take our cats to at least 3 TICA or CFA cat shows every year.
