We didn't set out to run a cattery. We fell in love with one cat and built a life around the breed.
The first Siberian we brought home was a brown tabby named after a city neither of us could find on a map. Within a year we'd imported a male from Russia, registered our cattery with TICA, and had our first litter on the kitchen floor.
Thirteen years later we're still in Edmonton, still doing one or two litters a year, and still hand-raising every kitten in our living room — not in a separate cattery building, not in cages.
There's no industry definition. Here's ours.
Not per queen — total. Each queen has a rest year between litters. We choose pairings carefully, not opportunistically.
Kittens leave at twelve weeks — never eight. Early spay/neuter at 11–12 weeks by our vet, vaccinated, microchipped, socialized to children, dogs, and the vacuum cleaner.
We don't breed colorpoint Siberians ("Neva Masquerade"). We don't breed to maximize kitten counts. We breed for temperament, health, and longevity.
You can see exactly how many families are ahead of you. No surprises, no fake scarcity.
If your situation ever changes, our kittens come back to us — for life. It's in the contract.
Both are in our contract. Non-negotiable. We've placed cats with families across Canada and turned down inquiries that didn't agree.
Every breeding cat in our cattery is screened for the three conditions that matter most in Siberians:
We also test all cats for FIV and FeLV before any pairing, and we don't over-vaccinate. Our protocol matches AAFP guidelines, not what's profitable for the clinic.
Certificates available on request — and visible on each cat's profile page.
Our registration with The International Cat Association can be verified directly on their website — never take a breeder's word for it.
