About
We are a family owned cattery.
Victor, the father to our beautiful Siberians, had a Siberian male (named Vasiliy) when he was a young boy, growing up in Russia. This cat of theirs was an amazing hunter and caring companion. When Victor was a teenager, in the late 1960's, he was into raising doves. He collected many rare colors and types. One day, Victor realized that another dove collector had stolen one of his rare doves. When Victor got home, he noticed his cat was missing as well. Vasiliy, the cat, later returned home with that missing dove in his mouth, and returned the bird, alive, back to the rightful owner. Vasiliy continued searching for and returning all of Victors missing birds, never harming or eating any of his birds. On the other hand, being the witty cat that he was, Vasiliy's evening hobby was to hunt down his neighbor's doves, those birds he did actually eat. That neighbor hated the cat with a passion, he tried shooting Vasiliy down many times using his Berdan rifle, but the cat's thick coat protected him from the many bullets. The neighbor pleaded with Victor to let him have the cat or shoot it, to which Victor would reply, he's yours if you can catch him! That neighbor never succeeded in his hunt for the cat. It was during that time that Victor realized what an incredible breed the Siberians are. Many years have passed since that time, but Victor's desire to own a Siberian never left his mind. His lifelong dream of owning Siberians once again has finally come true! Victor and his daughter Kristina own the beautiful Siberians. We hope you will love this breed as much as we do.
