• How does reserving a kitten work?
  Kittens are not considered reserved until a deposit is received. The first person to place a deposit on a particular litter has first choice of the kittens in that litter. Second deposit, second choice, and so on. 

• Should I get two kittens?
  If you have the means, two kittens are a great idea. They entertain each other, reducing destructive behavior. They keep each other company. And they teach each other how to play more gently, not only with each other, but with you.

• What's so great about Siberian cats?
  Several traits make Siberian cats stand out from other breeds. They are hypoallergenic, which allows people with cat allergies to enjoy the company of a cat in their home. Siberian cats are very social and seek attention from their families. They have luxurious triple coats that, although long, do not require much grooming. They are so amazing that the luxurious 5-star Lanesborough Hotel in London is known for its resident Siberian cat Lillibet, who is in high demand with royal and celebrity guests (including Madonna and Sylvester Stallone). Meet Lilibet, the Lanesborough Hotel's most famous resident

• How are Siberian cats hypoallergenic?
  Many people think that cat hair causes allergic reactions. In fact, it is a protein found in cats' saliva and urine. When a cat licks its fur, some of this protein (Fel d 1) is transferred onto the coat. When it dries, it becomes "dander" which can transfer to furniture, clothing and the air, causing allergy symptoms. This is why people with allergies do better if they wash their hands after touching a cat. Siberian cats produce a much smaller amount of Fel d 1 than most breeds. Even so, people with allergies should meet potential kittens ahead of time to make sure they won't be reactive.

• ​What do I need for my new Siberian kitten?
  You'll need a litter box, litter, and nutritious kitten food to start. Then you can add food and water dishes, a harness and leash, toys, scratchers and a brush.

• Should I let my Siberian cat outside?
  There are arguments for and against this. For safety, indoors only is by far the better choice. Cats' natural instincts to hunt and stray will then need to be provided for in other ways, with toys, puzzles and attention.

• Why should I choose Bella Siberian Cats as my breeder?
  Our cats are purebreds from original Russian stock, with breed standards - including being hypoallergenic and social -our priority. We work to socialize our kittens so that they'll be comfortable in their new homes right away. Healthy, well-adjusted kittens are our business and our passion. Our cats are registered with TICA.

• How do I keep my Siberian cat safe?
  Keep them indoors. Always stay up to date with vaccinations. Cat and kitten-proof your house, all the way to the ceiling - they can jump and climb. Here's more cat safety information.

• How much maintenance do Siberian cats require?
  Brushing fur once a week is usually plenty, and clipping nails every couple of weeks. Aim to brush teeth at least 2-3 times a week.

• Will my other pets get along with a Siberian cat?
  Most animals do well with new kittens, and Siberian cats are known for getting along well with other animals.
