All
kittens are born in a
quiet bedroom and are
approximately 9 to 10
weeks old when they are
brought downstairs to
get used to the home environment,
becoming accustomed to
household noises, e.g.
television, washing machine
and the vacuum cleaner.
When they are old enough
they also mix with all
our adult dogs and cats,
under supervision.
All
kittens will be ready
to go to their new homes
at 14 weeks of age, after
been neutered / spayed
and having had a full
course of the necessary
vaccinations, which will
also include FeLv. They
will all have had 3 health
checks with my vet when
they have had their vaccinations
and neutering, but I always
recommend that kittens
should be taken to your
vet within the first 48
hours of going to their
new home, after this time
we can not accept any
responsibility for the
kittens health. Kittens
also leave us with the
benefit of 4 weeks free
insurance with Pet Plan,
(which we strongly recommend
that you continue with),
food, toys, registration
papers and an information
pack.
All
kittens will be registered
with either The Governing
Council of the Cat Fancy
(GCCF) / Felis Britannica
(FB) and / or The International
Cat Association (TICA)
and will be registered
on the non-active register.
Siberians
are extremely sociable
with people, other cats
and dogs etc. and because
of this I would never
recommend one living as
a lone cat with someone
who is out for long hours
during the day. All my
cats and kittens are indoor
cats only. Please do not
ask for a Lyndongraey
kitten if you are going
to let your kitten outside
unsupervised.

Hypoallergenic
Cats?
There
has been information circulated
especially in America
about the suitability
of Siberian cats as pets
for people who would normally
show an allergic reaction
to cats. Although no extensive
research has been carried
out, fur samples tested
in the USA showed that
the Siberians involved
had less Fel D1 flakes
on their fur (these are
the flakes that becomeairborne
and trigger allergies).
In
an article in Cat World
by Roger Tabor, CBiol
MBiol MPhil FLS, he says
"the main origin
of the allergen has been
found to be from material
released from sebaceous
glands in the skin and
small flakes of skin.
These contain a glycoprotein,
Fel D1, the main cat allergen.
This is much smaller than
house dust particles,
and can stay in the air
for months, and settle
into open fabric weaves,
from which they easily
lift into the air. It
is worth realising that
intact male cats produce
far more Fel D1 protein
than neutered males, whilst
females produce least.
A third of those allergic
to cats continue living
with them."
As stated above not all
allergic individuals can
tolerate Siberians and
anyone who is allergic
to cats should spend time
(anywhere up to at least
1 hour) in the presence
of an adult Siberian and
consult their GP before
taking a Siberian into
their homes. We have been
asked on many occasions
if people could visit
and check out the theory
about this wonderful breed.
We therefore offer an
allergy threshold check
for £50.00 (which
does not constitute a
deposit on any kitten).
A number of our kittens
are now living in homes
where someone is an allergy
sufferer, and they thought
they would never be able
to have a cat sleeping
on their laps!! Due to
the popularity and the
need to limit the disruption
to my cats, we schedule
one weekend a month for
this threshold check.
Please note this check
takes place in our home
environment and whilst
it provides the perfect
opportunity to interact
fully with my cats, we
do have Field Spaniels
and a British Shorthair
and you may not get a
true result. We
cannot be held responsible
for any health issues
you may suffer at the
time of your visit or
afterwards - this is entirely
at your own risk.
It is also worth remembering
that each cat will have
different allergen levels,
therefore if you have
a negative reaction to
our Siberians you may
not at another cattery.
The next date and time
slots available are to be decided shortly.
48 hour notice of cancellation
is required.
If you would like to book
a slot please email me
for further details.
If
you are interested in
a kitten now or in the
future please email us
and we can advise you
of possible availability
