Our TICA Awards so far...

At the weekend Andy and I were trying to sort out some of the paperwork and with last years show season finished and we have received our letters notifying us of our awards, it made us realise just how brilliant our Siberians have done.

Since the Winter of 2006 our wonderful and beautiful Siberians have achieved the following Awards (and some of these Awards have been based on only being shown a couple of times). I think it is an outstanding achievement and something both Andy and I are very proud of.

And this doesn't include all the finals that each of them have finished in and it doesn't include the wins at other shows they have attended where we have achieved a number of Red Card Days at GCCF. Showing our wonderful family of Siberians is a very rewarding hobby and something we are very proud of.

Well Done to all our Shining Stars x

Drusilla's Kittens - looking for forever homes

Some new photos of Drusilla's beautiful baby girls, Dior, Dasha and Daisee are looking for their forever homes. The girls are so very sweet and just love to play. It was difficult getting the photos tonight because they just wanted to scamp!

The girls are 10 weeks old and get up to a lot of mischief while we are at work. If we forget to put the kitchen roll out of reach, well they have a fun afternoon checking it all for any holes, or do they add the holes...

While we were away Andy's mum said they liked to help out by checking the roll for holes! My mum also found they had one afternoon tried out my make up! Well girls will be girls...

It has been strange this year, we have had girls and everyone has wanted boys, last year everyone wanted girls and we had boys, oh well we do try and talk to the girls about requests but it just doesn't seem to work that way.



So if you think you can offer one of these lovely girls a home, please contact me on 01270 569358 or email me: kittens@silversiberiancats.co.uk

Back from holiday with special delivery!!!

Well we are of course back from our holiday, or should I say tour of America, which included 5 nights in Boston, 2 nights in Dallas and 1 night in New York! And we are very excited to announce the arrival of our very special new member of the family who we went to collect all the way from Dallas, Texas.

After so many plans and waiting for what seemed forever at times, we finally got there and on Tuesday last week we met our very special girl Astera Pantera, from the distinguished cattery Astera and the lovely owner Victoriya Foster, who is herself from Siberia.

Pantera is exactly how we imagined she would be and it was a delight to bring her home with us. Pantera is a descendant from Siberia itself and we are so very lucky that Victoriya has let us adopt this very special girl.

I will be posting photos soon of Pantera, she is very beautiful just like her mum Huntress and I want to tell Pantera's story. We had a wonderful time visiting Victoriya and Bruce, and it was shame it was only a short visit but we had our family here to get back too. And I think our parents would have gone mad if we had gone for longer!

We also had a visit from Pantera's Grandfather, Yenisey while we were in Boston, his lovely owner Leika very kindly brought him to our hotel for us to meet him. And he is a superstar, a big cuddly handsome man. He was so very friendly and loved being in the hotel. What a dude!

We would both like to say a big Thank you to Victoriya and Bruce for entrusting Pantera too us and for all the hardwork on sorting out the mountain of paperwork which was just perfect. And thank you for introducing us to your wonderful family, all stunning Siberians. It was hard for Victoriya to let Pantera go but there is no doubt she will be loved here and always cuddled.

And a big Thank you to both our Mum's and Dad's for looking after our family while we were gone without you the trip wouldn't have been possible.
