We raise and show Siberian cats, which are often more hypo-allergenic than other domestic breeds of cats.
So, for all those who are allergic to the domestic cats this might be the cat for you. It does not work on everyone nor is every Siberian hypoallergic, so it’s best to test before you buy if possible.
If you have allergies to cats, you may come bye or try to find a breeder that will allow you to test for allergies before buying.
So far 95% have had little or no reaction to these wonderful felines. And if you are not allergic to cats, you will love their look and especially their personality. They range from $2000 to $5000 for pet purchases with $2250 being the average price. They are priced according to their color, or size, or parentage. Sometimes we have discounted cat for various reasons. These purchases require you to agree to spay/neuter your kitten or have it done before it leaves.
No papers will be offered before the altering has been done. Then, the papers are not free due to the cat registries having fees.
Breeder rights start at $3500 – for people who are already in the business.
I do not sell breeding rights. Shipping is $600 extra. Prices are posted on the sale page.
We also offer discounts. It’s a lot to read, but it may pay off.
The guidelines are listed at the bottom of the sale page. You may qualify for at least one.
We also offer on-line payments with a credit card, e-checks, Zelle
or a PayPal option for your convenience.
State sales tax may be added to your balance.
The hypoallergenic qualities have been scientifically documented because of the low levels of certain proteins in the cat’s saliva, called Fel d-1.
Most people with cat allergies may be able to own one of these wonderful felines.
On the other hand, those without allergies often get this breed for the wonderful personality, which is more dog-like than most cats.
The allergy levels can be documented by testing and some breeders offer this. I can have your cat tested by ordering test kits from Siberian Research Inc.
Those tests are $400 so I do not offer them unless they are paid for in advance.
Knowing the results can help you determine if you are able to have a Siberian and what levels of tolerance you may have.
What is FEL d1?
FEL d-1 is a protein found in feline saliva that can cause allergic reactions to humans.
When the cat grooms itself, the allergen dries on the coat leaving dander.
(Contrary to popular belief, allergic reactions are not caused because of cat’s coat length).
Dander particles are so small that many air filters cannot remove them all from the air.
Testing for FEL d-1 using fur samples, and today from saliva samples has been done by Indoor Biotechnologies.
The tests would indicate that in this particular study, about 50% of the Siberians.
have less FEL d-1allergens than the standard household cat.
Note that the females have lower numbers than the males in this particular case study.
However, in another study in 2005, the altered (neutered) males and females had comparable allergen levels.
and a good percentage of them still had lower levels of the Fel d-1 allergen than in other breeds.
This is one reason that testing for reaction is always a good idea if possible.
Some breeders do not guarantee that you will be OK with this breed and will not sell to families with allergy problems without testing first.
Check out the guarantees with your breeder before making the purchase.
