Available Kittens & Allergies

Kitten Update:-

Just over a month ago the whole world was excited by the arrival of a new Royal Baby. Well our Little Queen Anuta Ekho was not being outshone by a Royal Baby and had 5 of her own princes and princess!

We have 3 princes and 2 princesses, all kittens appear to be Black Silver Classics with White, possibly one Blue Silver and White. One of the kittens is like a little polar bear and really stands out.

The kittens are just starting on solid food and enjoying escaping from the kitten box. The photos were taken at 3 1/2 weeks old, they will be 5 weeks on Monday.

Anuta is the granddaughter of Musrafy Anuta, hence Anuta Ekho and she is just as good a mum. She has really taken to it and it has given her a new confidence.

We are taking enquiries now for Anuta's kittens who will be able to go to their new homes at the end of October, please email kittens@alexandrite-siberian-kittens.co.uk for details.

Kittens Available:-

We do still have 4 boys available from Tabitha's litter. They are all Black Silver Classics and White. They are called Rayden, Rylen, Rico and Raffi. They are lovely boys but not suitable for allergy or asthma sufferers. Please email kittens@alexandrite-siberian-kittens.co.uk for details. The boys are ready to go to their new homes now and as they are a bit older we have amended the cost.

At the moment we have had Ruslan aka Peri back here after allergy issues. He has now joined Fudge, Nog & Co and is having a whale of a time! But once I have found homes for his brothers Peri might become available.

Allergies:-

Since having our first litter in 2006 we have never pushed Siberians as hypoallergenic. We have been happy to successfully home kittens with families where there have been allergy/asthma sufferers. One of those was to the celebrity Amanda Holden, whose husband was allergic to any other type of cat.

But we have also unfortunately had over the years 4 kittens returned. In 3 cases two allergy sittings were carried out without any issues. But living with a cat is very different to spending a couple of hours at a breeders home. After a week or two the kittens were returned. This is very stressful for all parties and its very confusing and upsetting for the kitten.

We do not know scientifically why some litters are suitable and others aren't. Please don't ask us if our kittens are true pedigree Siberian kittens. All of Tabitha's kittens are but they are still causing a reaction. None of our girls free roam and both Nog and Fudge are neutered so no accidents!

As for allergy visits it is still difficult for us to do. We try our best but with Fudge a Birman and 2 American Curls Nog and Pepper. You still might have a reaction here and it not be the Siberians.

Every cat is different just like we are so what might be ok for one might not be for another.
