My Breeding Principles

All of my cats and dogs live inside the home with the family. Kittens get used to people and dogs from their first day. They also get used to being touched and they'll meet all kind of people (old, young, females, males) before moving to their new homes. Depending on the season they'll also have a chance to go outside, under observation, in a safe exercise yard.

I strive to breed healthy siberians with a lovely temperament and that lives up to the FIFe breed standard as much as possible. I don't breed colourpointed, so called Neva Masquerades, and I don't sell my cats to such breeding. I also aim to keep the inbreeding percent as low as possbible by using foreign cats now and then.

The kittens are vaccinated, and checked by a vet when they are ready to move to their new homes, that’s when they are 12-weeks-old. They have also been given vermifuge several times. The kittens are registered in SRK and have a FIFe pedigree.All cats used in breeding are FiV and FeLV negative, have blood group A and are tested for the heart disease HCM. I also test for Microsporum canis regularly.

All my cats are inside cats and everyone who buys a cat from my catter are obliged to keep the cat inside and only let the cat out in a safe exercise yard or in a leash.

I don't sell my kittens without meeting the new family first and I don't ship my cats abroad alone in the hold!

I like to keep in touch with all the new owners even after the cat has moved.
