Tips On Finding The Right Siberian Cat Breeder

By Sandra Sanders


There are many benefits to having pets at home. Fun, loving and can greatly help manage stress, cats are perfect pets. While some people can manage with just having one others need to have many of these furry angels at their home. Cats in particular are just great companions because they are small and it is super easy to potty train them.

The Siberian Cat originated from Russia and are known to be the second largest breed of cats, the first would be the Maine Coon. Getting a purebred one from a Siberian cat breeder may be expensive, but guaranteed they are so worth it. Personality wise these felines are very gentle compared to other types.

Many things need to be considered for a breeder to count as a good one. On your end, some extensive research is needed to make sure that the pet you get is healthy and is in top shape. One very important thing to check for is their reputation among cat societies, among others who breed and the veterinarians in the area.

Once you have made a list of these people, knowing their reputation and picking out which ones have a bad name should be easy. It helps a lot when these people also have websites where pictures of their kittens may be shown. This also offers a great avenue for others who have been their customers to give out reviews.

Also check for any registrations with national associations and other certificates that can show their legitimacy in the matter. As trivial as it may sound, breeding and going to cat pageants require the necessary medical documents to make sure that the cat is purebred and clean. This is rather elitist in a way, but if the health of your feline is of utmost importance you would see the value in it.

Meet up with the breeder and maybe even check where they breed their animals. Those that do this solely for the money are likely not to breed these creatures in the best conditions. There are those that really do love their pets so they make sure that these animals and their environment are pristine and perfect for them. Watch out for kitty mills because they just produce them for the sake of numbers.

There are some people or shops that breed felines like they were in a factory, better known as kitten mills. Mills are known for producing so many but not taking great care of these animals. In some instances customers are ripped off saying that the animal they got was purebred even if they were not.

Ask about how old the felines are before you take them from the hands of the care taker. They may not tell the truth, so some knowledge about Siberian cats and how they grow may be necessary. Babies are not supposed to be separated from their mothers until 10 to 14 weeks. If the one you are planning to get is younger than this, chances are they have not had the proper nutrition and are most likely sickly.

Ask well constructed questions. The breeder should also show concern about who will be getting their kittens. A good sign is if they, in turn are also evaluating you. The more knowledgeable they are, the better. An honest one would not hesitate about telling you the disadvantages and congenital downsides of a certain feline that you picked.
