We breed healthy Siberian Forest Cats who are on the petite side for those who love the friendly, hypoallergenic, loyal, strong, soft and hearty Siberian but who for any reason prefer their cats—boys and girls alike—to be small to medium as long lived adults: ideally and usually less than 12 lbs for boys and less than 9 lbs for girls & as small as 7-10 lbs. for boys and 6-8 lbs for girls.
...
We‘ve been breeding cats for 20 years and we take pride in that we don’t create pairings between cats who are closer than second cousins: we don’t mate closely related cats. This avoids traits like bad dentition, behavioral problems, and of course anything worse. We also are proud that we always raise all our cats in a homey, down to earth setting where they are free to lounge and roam and are not kept in pens, cages, kennels, grates, crates or gates. It’s a lot of extra work and a lot of extra fun and our felines are happier and healthier for it.
...
Our cats walk, play and sleep where they like and spend all day together in society with one another and us, so they are extremely friendly and experienced with normal, everyday indoor life. We donate significantly to the Humane Society and we believe that as family members of people every cat and dog should have a good forever home and guaranteed help finding one when they don’t.
...
We register our cats with The International Cat Association and we are a TICA registered cattery, adhering to the TICA code of ethics. In our opinion, TICA is brilliant and awesome—they truly do promote Fabulous Felines, Fun and Friendship! We formally pass this affiliation to you as the cat’s new protector.
...
Our kittens come trained to use only the litter box and they are comfortable having their claw tips trimmed and have already begun learning to sharpen their claws on scratching posts. Each kitten comes with two exams, first and second FVRCP vaccinations, full veterinary records of all of this, implanted microchip paid for and registered in your name, and a contract and two year genetic health guarantee.
...
We will sign an agreement together (when you come over to bring your kitten home) which states that you will spay/neuter your kitten, that you won’t ever declaw her/him, and that you will not breed the kitten or have the kitten for any other reason than to share its individual companionship as a member of your household with you and your loved ones.
...
You will receive TICA registration and a full pedigree from the father’s and mother’s sides both after you provide your veterinarian’s proof of spay/neuter.
OUR SIBERIAN CATS
We feed our cats and kittens a mixture of quality dry food (kibble) 4 or 5 times a day. Sometimes we mix in a small amount of wet food. We use clumping clay cat litter in our many litter boxes which we clean once or twice daily.
We groom our cats but only perfunctorily, combing them a bit and looking out for and removing tangles. We do our best to cut their nails so they aren’t tempted to “sharpen” our furnishings or get serious when they play and wrestle. We have scratching posts for claw sharpening and the whole cattery is a kitty playground so they get great exercise.
We feed them all 4-6 times a day and don’t leave food out so no one over grazes or becomes territorial. If an adopter ever needs details or tips on what we feed them or how we advise managing daily habits and kitty conundrums, just ask and we will provide!
Our 100% Siberian blood lines are Russian with many show champions (grand, world and international!) in their pedigrees and with your kitten you will receive a pedigree with full five generation depth along with registration in your name after you have fulfilled the wellness/spay/neuter contract obligations.
We strive for our Siberians to be less than average in size—small for the breed—and yet every bit the big hearted Forest Cat that fans and newcomers love and appreciate. Most Siberians are slower to mature than other breeds, continuing to grow and develop until 2-3+ years of age, but, being smaller, ours are precocious and fast to develop, reaching their full height/length around 1 year of age. They will continue to fill out after that as well, of course, based on nutrition and activity levels :)
...
At Petite Siberians our cats and kittens are on the small side for the Siberian Forest Cat breed—by design, as we have small moms and dads! We raise a few litters of kittens each month and send each kitten home around 12 weeks of age. A majority of our kittens are 100% pure at full cost with TICA registration and pedigrees included and a minority of them are between about 65% and 90% at a lower cost, some with TICA registration and pedigree and some with pedigree alone. All compare favorably for their hypoallergenic qualities and all are equally healthy. We are full disclosure, so parentage is always known, shared and verifiable. And we put kitten and cat health before anything else, with 6 separate commercial spaces totaling several thousand square feet all for the free roaming fur leggeds!

Our cats possess classic Siberian traits...
...
• They have low Fel d1 counts so people with low to medium level allergies can enjoy being close to them and touching them with minimal or no allergic reaction.
• They have long back legs, jump far and high, express loyalty and good natured friendliness before selfishness and snootiness, and their coats insulate to keep them warm when it’s cold and breathe to keep them cool when it’s hot.
• They like people, kids, other cats, and dogs.
• They don’t sweat the small stuff and enjoy a variety of foods (that said, do not try to expand your kitten’s palate until at least 6 months of age!!!).
You might have to keep an eye on their fluffy fur and help them remove various tag alongs but their incredible wispy softness and matching cuddliness make it well worth it.
