ALLERGIES & SIBERIANS

Siberian cats are said to be hypoallergenic. Many people who experience allergy symptoms when exposed to cats, do not demonstrate these allergic reactions in the presence of Siberian cats. This can be attributed to lower Fel d1 protein levels in Siberian cats. Additional information regarding Fel d1 levels in Siberian cats can be found at KittenTesting.com and siberianresearch.com

Our Story

For more than a decade I fostered cats/kittens for our local Humane Society. Then I met Greg, a man deathly allergic to cats. When we married it was necessary for me to stop fostering. My son took our 2 personal pets. There were no cats in our home for many years. Then we learned of Siberian cats and to our amazement, my husband's allergies were not affected by them. It is our hope that you will enjoy the same experience.

Our Vision

Our goal is to produce healthy, well adjusted cats/kittens with low Fel d1 levels so that people who previously could not enjoy the companionship of a cat, may do so.
