Alexandrite Kitten News Autumn 2016

Summer seems to be fading now and went far too fast! We did over summer have the arrival of some sweet kittens from mums Cataleya and her twin Catalena, both Silver Spotted Tabbies. Dad is the handsome Little Grumps, a Black Smoke. The kittens won't be ready to go to new homes until end of October and beginning of November, hence our Autumn kittens. This is after they've had both vaccinations, micro-chipped and vet checks. There is a mixture of Silver and Brown Tabbies, Black and Black Smoke.

We are still deciding how best to tackle the large list of families who have contacted us about kittens. Potentially we have a couple of approaches but think we will post photos to the blog of available kittens for families to register an interest in a kitten. This can be done via email to kittens@alexandrite-Siberian-kittens.co.uk or call 01270569358, evening time not after 9pm. If you do call in the day please leave a message and we will call back.

We will then give priority to the families who have enquired with us already and this will be done based on the date we were first contacted. We will also try to contact everyone to let them know we will be updating the blog with news and photos.

This approach seemed to work quite well earlier in the year. We hope to have photos on the blog by the end of the week of both litters.

And one of the dad handsome Little Grumps, who is named after his Uncle Grumpy and not because of his personality as he is one of the sweetest gentlest boys you could meet.

Alexandrite Siberian Kittens

UPDATE 14 February 2016: Thank you for all the emails and get well wishes for Jo. All kittens have now been reserved. We plan to have more kittens in the summer, thanks Jo and Andy
Finally we have some photos of our available Siberian kittens. We've just done group shots for families to register an interest in a particular kitten or kittens. This can be done via email kittens@alexandrite-siberian-kittens.co.uk and 01270569358 for calls. It's best to call in an evening, preferably no later than 9pm. If you do call in the day please leave a message and we will come back to you.
We know we only have a few Siberian kittens available and kittens will only be reserved on receipt of a deposit.
The kittens have had first vaccination and vet check. They will go for another around 12 weeks and microchipped. Therefore kittens should be ready for new homes first two weekends in March.
We do not know if the kittens are suitable for allergy sufferers as everyone can react differently and it depends on the severity of the allergy or asthma.
Please note we will not be able to offer kitten visits this weekend due to a procedure I'm having done on Friday and last time I wasn't very well after it. Andy will be looking after me during this time but he should be ok for any calls.
Anuta's Kittens
First up we have Anuta's babies. Anuta had 4 babies and they are are a super bunch, all very sweet. There are 3 boys and 1 girl. We have a Brown Tabby boy and girl, and two Silver Tabby boys we have nicknamed the Twins. We've picked pet names at the moment for all kittens.
From left to right: Zeke, Brown Spotted Tabby male, with small white tail tip. Probably was initially a bit quieter than his brothers and wasn't keen on the vets but he's coming out of his shell now. A bit of a mummy's boy. Anuta does dote on them.
Pollux, aka Po, paler Black Silver Spotted Tabby male. It's very hard to tell him apart from his brother and they are both very playful.
Pixie, Brown Spotted Tabby female. Well the name says it all, a very sweet girl who gets up to all sorts of mischief and encourages her brothers too we are sure of it. Loves a cuddle.
Castor, aka Cas, darker Black Silver Spotted Tabby male. Just like his brother and both should be good sized boys when older.

Added this one in to show how much time and patience Andy has when taking photos, dealing with kittens just wanting to chase anything that moves. I don't know how he does it but he takes fabulous photos every time.

Lorelei Kittens
Next we have Lorelei's kittens. Lorelei had 3 girls. A Brown and White Tabby, a Blue and White and a Black Silver Classic and White. They are again a super bunch and very playful.
From left to right: Lightning, Black Silver Classic Tabby and White. A very sweet girl who plays all the time.
Storm, Blue and White. Probably the quietest of the three but soon catches up with her sisters.
Zoom, Brown Spotted Tabby and White. In the beginning the most adventurous out of the kitten box and the fastest! Loves to play and be cuddled like her sisters but tells you when she wants to play. Loves helping to sweep up!

Left to right: Lightning, Zoom and Storm.

Alexandrite Siberian Kittens 2016

UPDATE: Unfortunately Jo has been poorly since Christmas and after feeling a bit better is now not very well again. We do have kittens and will update the blog soon with photos and availability. And try and get back to everyone. I've in a busy time of year with my work so time is very limited as Jo wrote in her blog post last week. Thanks Andy

 

FROM JO: A belated New Year to all Siberians and their families. Thank you to everyone who sent us wonderful kitten news and updates it was lovely receiving them and we really do appreciate them. We are sorry we haven't replied to emails lately, I lost my Uncle at the end of the year and he is greatly missed by all who knew him. He was large part of my life as a child and he had a wonderful way of telling stories. After the loss of my grandad in the summer it has hit us all hard to have another funeral to go to at the end of 2015. This made December a difficult time for my health and it's a busy time for Andy with his job. I was then poorly over Christmas and the New Year so I couldn't catch up then.

We've also had to get new home phones as the others were working intermittently.

Kitten News: The good news is we do have kittens and we will be posting updates soon. The kittens will be ready to go in March, dates to be confirmed. We do not know if kittens are suitable for families with allergies and at this time we cannot offer allergy visits. Any kitten visits won't be arranged until the kittens have had their first vaccine at least.

Waiting List: We are being asked do we have a waiting list? At the moment no. We have in the past but we don't now this is because of many reasons. One is we do not think it fair to make families wait months for a kitten. We do not know what we will have, any colours are only estimated based on parents and colours carried. To take a list of names who all want silver tabby boys usually results in a litter of blues or black smoke girls and a number of disappointed families. We would rather wait until the kittens have arrived safely and mum and babies are ok before we update with any news.

There are scare tactics by other breeders that we have something wrong because we don't have a waiting list. That isn't true. It's less stress for us to just enjoy the kittens arriving and seeing what colours we have without needing this colour or boy/girl list of requirements. We are after all dealing with Mother Nature and we get what we get.

Hopefully we will have more news soon but please remember this isn't our full time job, and taking care of the kittens and mums is our first priority so sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day. Anyone who knows us will also know I struggle daily with my health so I can't always respond immediately.

Thank You and Available Kittens

Thank you to everyone who sent us condolences last week. My grandad will be missed by all his family and friends. He was a very kind loving grandad, dad and great grandad. He's been a big part of so many of our lives and we were all lucky to have had him with us for so long.

It's been very hard and I'm not sure it's all truly sinking in yet so at the moment I'm only going to write a short post and post photos of kittens available. If you would like any further information Andy is helping out with calls but he's only available in an evening and at weekend, 01270569358.

Kittens!

Contrary to any gossip that is going around we have not yet stopped breeding Siberians. Another breeder who we have no contact with whatsoever is spreading a rumour that we have already stopped breeding Siberians. This is not true!

We are due to my health finding homes for some of our retired girls and next year boys but for the time being we do still have kittens and will have kittens available early to mid January and then in February. We will decide in the new year what our plans will then be for any further Siberian kittens. Please contact us on kittens@alexandrite-siberian-kittens.co.uk for information about our kittens and do not listen to what other breeders have to say on the matter. Thank you

And for cute factor, here's some of our current gorgeous Siberian kittens...

KITTEN AVAILABILITY. Only one girl left in Jomos litter a Blue Silver Tabby, Little Jo. She is beautiful just like her mum Jomo and has her chunkiness. Little Jo will be ready to go weekend 27-28th December. We are not sure if she is suitable for allergy sufferers. Please email or call in the evening 01270569358.

Update: Little Jo has now been reserved. 15th December 2014

Please contact us also for kitten availability in Lorelei litter, who will be ready to go mid January.

Memphis Kittens

All of Memphis kittens have now been adopted. They are a lovely bunch and for Memphis first litter she couldn't have done any better. The kittens are all very cute and playful and she has looked after them really well, keeping them clean and tidy. She has definitely passed on her sweet nature and we think Paavo has passed on his love of food!

Kitten Update

Both Galina's and Memphis kittens have been to their first vet visit and all were very brave for their first vaccination and everything checked out ok. Kittens will start going off to their new homes from 30th October. We can't believe where the time has gone!!

As always we have enjoyed having both litters around and they are always doing something to entertain us and make us laugh.

We do have 3 Silver Tabby kittens, 2 boys and 1 girl from Mystique and Hendrix, they are only 4 weeks old at the moment. All are fat balls of fluff and at the moment all kittens are under assessment.

Update & Kittens Available

Well it has been a horrible couple of weeks for me I am recovering from what seems to have now been Swine Flu and a Sinus infection. After going to the Elsecar show on the Saturday where I felt absolutely rotten, and shouldn't have gone, I have spent the last two weeks in the house feeling really poorly and I am still recovering. So my apologies if you have emailed me with news of our kitties in their new homes, I did appreciate the emails and I will reply, still trying to catch up with everything!

We had planned to go to the Supreme with Grumpy and Phoenix on exhibition but that was a no go :-( Poor Grumpy looks so handsome too and not forgetting handsome little man Phoenix, maybe next time...

We do still have kittens available, who are able to go to their new homes for Christmas. Once these kittens are gone we will be having a little break, so if you would like one of our beautiful Alexandrite Siberians please email me kittens@alexandrite-siberian-kittens.co.uk for details of who we have available.
