About the breed
Are Siberian cats actually hypoallergenic?
Yes and no. "Hypoallergenic" doesn't mean allergen-free — it means lower than average. Siberians produce less of the Fel d1 protein that triggers most cat allergies. About 75% of allergic visitors react less to ours than to other cats they've owned. We always recommend an in-person allergy test before committing.
How big do Siberians get?
Males: 12–17 lb (5.5–7.5 kg). Females: 8–12 lb (3.5–5.5 kg). They take 3–5 years to reach full size — slow-growing breed.
How long do they live?
12–18 years is typical. Health testing for HCM and PKD is the biggest factor in longevity.
Do they shed a lot?
They have a triple coat. Twice a year — spring and fall — they shed dramatically for about two weeks. The rest of the year, weekly brushing keeps things under control.
Purchase process
How much does a kitten cost?
$2,300 CAD + GST. That includes early spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, TICA registration, two-year health guarantee, and a kitten go-home pack. Read full purchase info.
What's the deposit?
$200 non-refundable. It holds your place on the waiting list or reserves a specific kitten. Applied to the final purchase price.
How long is the wait?
Typically 6–12 months. We do one or two litters a year. Our public waiting list shows exactly where you'd stand.
Do you ship kittens?
We prefer pickup in Edmonton or a meeting point in the Edmonton–Calgary corridor. Air travel as cargo, no. Cabin travel with the buyer flying in to pick up, yes.
Can I visit before applying?
No. We ask everyone to apply first — it's a five-minute form. Once approved, we welcome visits by appointment with a $100 visit fee (credited to your deposit if you take a kitten home).
Care & policy
Indoor only — is that really a hard rule?
Yes. It's in the contract. Outdoor Siberians get hit by cars, eaten by coyotes, and bring home parasites. We'll happily discuss catios and harness training.
Why no declawing?
Declawing is amputating the last bone of every toe. It's banned in most of Europe. We won't sell to anyone who's considering it.
What if I can't keep the cat someday?
She comes back to us. For life. It's in the contract. No questions, no judgment — just call.
