    FIP sucks!

    So sorry for your loss. :(  A small group of us are trying to do something about this terrible disease by researching the lines in Siberians. Breeders and pet owners from around the world have sent me pedigrees and autopsy reports or test results. I do believe there is a genetic basis...

    Recently bought Kitten

    This is the first time I have heard the term tricolor. Torties with white are 3 colors and are 99.9% female. I am guessing that the breeder is referring to the 3 colors as chocolate, silver (called smoke in a cat that does not have tabby markings) and white. She may have thought he was black and...

    Cat pees on stuff, I believe when stressed. has been going on almost 5 years. What options do I have

    Hypoallergenic Cat Breeds

    Hello. I had my first litter last year with a total of 4 litters up to present. None have been returned. Most inquires were from mild allergy sufferers and I have not had any complaints. I keep in contact with other Siberian breeders, two of them have been breeding them for over 10 years. They...

    Hypoallergenic Cat Breeds

    Hello, the Siberian Forest cat has lower Feld1 levels than other cats. This protein is found in their saliva, and it is usually the one that causes the problem for most allergy sufferers. Both me and my husband are allergic to cats, and guess what? We have 4 Siberian cats! We have to vacuum...
