Club Information
Out of passion for
this beautiful breed, we used our knowledge and spare time
to set up a clear and informative website about this
beautiful and special breed.
Our Goal
The goals of the
International Siberian Cat Club is to give the Siberian Cat
and the colorpoint variation Neva Masquerade the attention
it deserves. We think it is very important to promote
responsible breeding and providing information about the
breed.
If you’re looking
for information, a kitten, a breeder, available replace or a stud male, just ask us and we are here for you
and your cats. It is important to carefully consider the
blood lines, as so not to flood the country with the same
lines. To keep the natural breed of the Siberian, free of
genetic diseases and other genetic problems, it is essential
that you have your cats tested for HCM, PKD, FIV and FeLV.
Another goal is to
keep each other posted where necessary, and to help each
other in a fun way to preserve this breed and keep it
healthy. We do not accept cross breedings with other breeds,
as we all have one thing in common, the lover for the
Siberian cat.
Becoming a member
You can! It is free
here with us, the only thing we ask is that you place our
banner as a link on your website.
Our regulations:
Preserving the breed as it has existed for years, free from
genetic diseases and other genetic problems. We require you
have your cats tested for FIV and FeLV. We advise you to
also test your cats for HCM and PKD.
We don’t accept
people that have “accicdental breedings” as you bump into
more and more these days on the internet (because a cat like
that with a pedigree must be coming from a cattery!).
We as cattery’s
spend a lot of money to guarantee the health of our breed,
the owners of actual breeding litters only think about their
wallet. In the USA these breeders are known as kitten mills.
Often these kittens leave their mother way too early and can
have serious genetic problems.
Don’t provide any
stud services with another breed. We have been able to
preserve the breed as it is. Sure enough there are some
rotten apples, but so far we have been able to make things
quite difficult for them.
A few years down the
road it will be too late to actually fix that problem. That
is not our intention as breeders, we want the best for our
breed and our kittens. Let us join together for the good of
the Siberian breed while we still can, in a few years we
will be too late and this beautiful breed will be spoiled as
well.
We ask that you keep
us posted about changed that took place. We’d like to
prevent kittens being on the kitten page that already have
been sold, or a stud male, that is no longer available. We’d
like to keep the site up to date for visitors.
