Allergies and Siberians

There is some evidence to suggest that Siberian Cats provoke less reaction in allergy sufferers. This in my experience depends on the individual and would recommend anyone who has an allergy to cats to visit the cattery of their choice before commiting to a kitten.

Due to our breeding British Longhairs we no longer do allergy test visits. You are welcome to visit our kittens when available.

Please note, we cannot expose severe allergy sufferers or asthmatics to our cats for safety reasons.
If you wish to discuss this further, please contact me.

If you are considering a Siberian kitten because you are an allergy sufferer, please note that we require you to have an 'allergy buddy', someone who is willing to take the kitten if your allergy returns. We no longer take back kittens due to allergic reactions, due to the stress this places on the kitten. We will of course always help to rehome in extreme circumstances, where possible. We would advise your 'buddy' to visit the cattery, preferably at the same time as your first visit or soon after, so that we can meet and approve them and to ensure they can also provide a suitable home.

Summer Plans

Well our summer plans are in motion, Tam is visiting Belphie and if all goes well kittens should arrive at the end of May. This is a lovely combination, for type and temperament...all the kittens should be cuddle monsters!...and pretty much all colour combinations are possible, including silvers and hopefully colourpoints.
Charlie, our British longhair, will be paired up with Penny our British black tipped next week, and if she carries the longhair gene, may have our first longhair kittens in black tipped or possibly golden tipped...cant wait.
We may also get a chance to get some Chinny kittens, just waiting for the right boy....
We will be opening our waiting lists as soon as pregnancies confirmed.
That should be it for the summer as I would like to 'get away' for a week in July and cant leave too much for John!
After that we will have other litters planned including Siberians and BSH/LH for the winter...see website for plans.
