Queens

Lilly – “Floofers”

Lilly is the snuggling white wonder — her fur is the softest ever and her purr can be heard from across the room. She’s the first to greet me in the morning with a big ol’ fur-butt to the face if I’m late to get up and she loves to catch “sky-raisins” (flies). She is a very attentive mother who nurses her kittens much longer than any of our other queens. She has also surprised us all with an entire litter of kittens with heterochromatic eyes (one blue one green)!

Clara – “Clara-beara” & “Crazy Clara”

“Oh Clara!” is something you’ll hear a lot around our house. This girl is the silliest thing you’ve ever met and always keeps us laughing. She’ll get cozy in just about anything and everything — no box, bucket, hamper, bowl, sink or hockey bag is safe! Currently she’s our resident babysitter/big-sister as she takes her job of playing with and pouncing on (annoying ?) all the kittens very seriously, no matter their age. I think I’ve seen our mama’s roll their eyes at her, I swear! Clara will hopefully have her first litter around May 2023.

Guardianship Queens

The Pandemic had most everyone staying home and thinking about kittens so our waitlist sky rocketed. To try to meet the demand we hand-picked a few families to kick-off our guardianship program. This was the the necessary next step as an extremely important element of our happy parent, happy kitten recipe. These precious homes allow our Queen cats the joy of having their own forever family. They also receive quality personal time and attention throughout their breeding season of life with families with children (& noise!) just like ours. The queens live with us for one delivery and litter so we can get to know her personality, needs and mama-style – then they go to their forever families for love and attention while we hands-on guide them through the entire breeding and rearing process.

We look at guardian homes as a partnership that ensures that all of our parent cats, physical, social, and emotional needs are met. Guardian families and our family work together to accomplish this with weekly (if not daily) communication as well as following the same diet, procedures (taking kitten weights daily, vet appointments with our vet etc.) and very similar home environments (kids, other pets, busy family etc.).

At this time we are not looking to expand our guardianship program any further than the homes we’ve hand selected…but that doesn’t mean that it won’t be an option a few more years down the road!

Soon to retire (currently on their last litter, but have wonderful forever homes already): Jessie, Lilly, Cosmo, Juni & Katrina

Jessie

Jessie is one of Hope’s kittens from the summer of 2019. She’s sassy just like her mama – but oh so sweet. Her first couple litters had some real stunning kittens and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for her future kittens. She currently lives with good friends of ours — our oldest boys play High School Varsity hockey together and have been friends since 2nd grade! She is now living with one of Lilly’s kittens and they love snuggling together.

Cosmo

Cosmo is a natural nurturer and very attentive mama who makes sure her kittens are attended to and well cared for — she’s never more than a squeak away when one of her kittens calls for her. She loves cuddles and her scratching pole and finding whatever sunny spot in the house gives her the best “view of the land” — regardless of if it’s convenient for humans or not! She is a unique coloring of patch seal point and we love to see what her kittens look like! Cosmo is one of Sierra’s kittens that now lives with a friend along with her kittens from different litters Cookie & Comet (see below).

Cookie

Cookie is the daughter of Cosmo and is a bit on the shy side with people — but not with her kittens! She’s attentive and stays close preferring quite and privacy over late night parties – especially in the early weeks ;-). She loves water and likes to snuggle in the sink!

Comet

Comet’s a communicator and a lover. If you’re needed, she’ll let you know. She enjoys treats, head scitches and scalp massages. Her kittens follow their mama’s temperment and are some of the most easy-going and chill we’ve ever had (and that is saying A LOT!).

Hazel

Happy Hazel is just a princess snuggle bug – with the loudest purr you’ve ever heard but her meow is barely a whisper. She’s not picky — she’ll snuggle whomever is around – as long a they’re human. She’s not a big fan of other felines as they steal her spotlight. She’s playful and adventurous and her new nickname is “Crazel” Crazy Hazel as her zoomies are a sight to see!

Juniper (Juni)

Juni is Sierra’s babe and replaced Sierra as our silver mackerel mama. She’s super playful and long and lean and reminds us often of a cheetah or fox with her quick (albeit not alays so graceful) lunges at flies or anything moving. She also LOVES being Auntie and is a very caring and attentive Mama.

Katrina

Katrina is a soft and snuggly fluffball of energy. She loves to play, but especially with balls – sparkle balls and her 3-tiered round-and-round. She is homed with my parents and is living the easy-going and *totally* spoiled life with her new sister Natasha (who is one of our retired queens). Natasha is a great Auntie and really watches after Katrina’s kittens as her own, so they are doubly loved. They love to snuggle each other and are eager greeters to “their” grandkids and almost daily visitors.

Chai

Chai is our stunning blue-eyed super soft doll who’s always up for an ear scratch or belly rub. She is very social always wanting to be with the family or a part of the party, dogs and all. She’s a protective and caring mama who loves to play with her kittens and “teach” them how to pounce. Yet, she’s very understanding and accomodating when others want to hold and snuggle her kittens (and who wouldn’t?!)…and just look at that goreous tail floof!

Sires

Lord Stanley

Stanley replaces our former super-stud Crosby and joined our cattery in March of 2020 from the Chicago area with a lynx seal point Regional Grand Champion Dad and tortoise shell & black Mama. We’ve gotten some amazing variety of colors and seal points out of this guy. He’s captured our hearts with his snuggly ways. He loves to spend time in his cattio outside and will never refuse a good snuggle. He also has the recessive gene for color points, as do our Queens, so we’re looking forward to many blue-eyed color points in our future

Sazha

Sazha is the stud for our sister cattery in Denver – Mile High Siberians – that we use every so often for a bit of variety and for those mama’s that have Stanley as a dad. He’s a young gun and we can’t wait to see what amazing colors we get with our queens from this super cool looking smoke stud.

***All Queens and Sires have been tested for Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD1) as suggested for Siberians by UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory (http://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/services/pkdeficiency.php) with normal (non-affected and non-carrier) results. No other tests are available or suggested for Siberians by the UC Davis team as they are a very healthy breed (http://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/services/cat/)!
