SIBERIAN CAT DESCRIPTION
The Siberian cat is a medium to medium large, strong cat that hails from a very unforgiving climate - Siberia. They first appeared in recorded history around the year 1,000. According to folklore these magnificent animals made their homes in Russian monasteries, where they would walk along the high beams as look outs for intruders. The overall appearance should be one of strength, and force with an excellent physical condition and alertness, with a sweet facial expression.
Siberian cats are extremely slow to mature, taking as long as five years, which is the reason they remain "kitten-like" for so long. The general impression is one of roundness and circles, rather than rectangles and triangles. The Siberian breed of cats has a very dog like temperament and they are very affectionate. They are very intelligent, gentle and very quick learners.
The Siberian makes the most ideal lap cat and will live quite happily indoors with you. They will be your best friends!
HYPOALLERGENIC CATS & ALLERGY TEST
A few breeds claim to be Hypoallergenic. Studies show that Siberians cats seem to produce less Fel d 1 protein than other cats. Fel d 1 is the main irritant and cause of allergies from cats. Some allergy sufferers with extreme allergic reactions to cats have reported no symptoms at all even when surrounded by many Siberians. Reaction varies from person to person.
Siberian Beauty Cattery is changing the way it used to conduct allergy tests. Going forward we only provide mail in allergy tests. You can mail us any one of these following items: 1. Brand new pillow case 2. Brand new t-shirt. We will let our cats play and sleep with it for a period of a week. At which time we will mail you your object back for you to test. The allergy tests at Siberian Beauty Cattery are $45. That includes return shipping. We accept Venmo or PayPal. No allergy test is 100% guarantee. Some people order pillowcases from amazon to be shipped directly to our cattery.

TESTS, SHOTS & EXAMINATIONS
We send fecal samples to Zoologix Lab to be tested to ensure kittens are free from 9 different diseases and provide you with the copy of the results. Kittens will be fully vaccinated. Your kitten is an indoor cat; if you have other pets that go outdoors please consult with your veterinarian if any additional vaccinations are required. Your kitten will be ready to go home at about twelve to sixteen weeks of age; it varies as to when each kitten is ready to leave their mother and siblings. We will keep you up-to-date with weekly emails and photos as you excitedly await his/her arrival.
SHIPPING
We do not ship our kittens. All kittens must be picked up at Siberian Beauty Cattery location.
DECLAWING
Your Siberian Cat will NEVER be declawed. We believe declawing is a cruel, painful, and debilitating surgery that will adversely impact your kitten's personality.
To learn more about this, go to this link: http://amby.com/cat_site/declaw.html.
This site has numerous articles describing the declawing procedure in detail; some of the articles have expired, so be patient and read those that are still there. If you keep their claws trimmed, they become toenails and harmless. Cats are very smart animals. Teaching them to use scratching posts and boards is very easy. Removing the first knuckle on their toes is not the answer.
SPAYED / NEUTERED REGULATIONS
There will be a written contract between Siberian Beauty and you that requires you to have your kitten spayed/neutered when they achieve the proper age (6 to 8 months). Your kitten will be registered with The International Cat Association (TICA); however, your registration papers that verify your cat is a pure Siberian will not be mailed to you until Siberian Beauty receives verification from a licensed veterinarian that your kitten has been spayed/neutered. This is done to protect the natural breed of the Siberian.
