Breeding Siberians in Virginia Since 2012

.Charis Siberians, formerly Nevaland Siberians, is proud of over 10 years of breeding excellence. Many times we get repeat customers or were referred to by a friend. Thank you for passing on your good word about our kittens and cats. We truly desire to please all of our customers.
We are a small cattery in Hampton Roads, Virginia and believe in providing quality time to cats and kittens. We have one male Siberian, Andy, and two females, Zoe and Sadie. They are our pets and have free roam of our home and the attached outside catio, for fresh air. We have several litters throughout the year and they will have kittens in a variety of colors: brown tabbies, blue tabby colorpoints, blue tabby colorpoints with white, blue points, blue points with white, and seal tabby points. Andy also has silver. All of our Siberians are affectionate lap cats. More than once I will have two of them sitting on me at the same time! The kittens are also exceptional, as I am told by my customers. We enjoy spending time loving on them and socializing them. This is actually quite amazing since my husband and I are both allergic to cats and dogs! Yes, Siberians are hypoallergenic! Their father, Andy, is amazing and is my forever fur baby. My sister owns his father, Ber, who is a healthy 13 year old Siberian cat, and is still used in breeding. Andy's mother, Darling, is also a healthy 12 year old, retired Siberian cat. Her breeder kept her because of her affectionate, sweet, gentle, loving nature. We have spent years studying the lines of Siberian cats, so that we can provide healthy kittens for you. Genetic testing, testing for contagious disease and echograms are done on the parents as needed. We offer a three year health warranty for HCM, PKD, FIP and congenital diseases. Because of my desire for quality and excellence I completed all of the 3 courses in the Pawpeds Academy. You can click on each of the badges. Charis Siberians is a TICA registered cattery. Thank you for considering us for your future fur baby. We hope to bring much joy and happiness to you through our dear kittens. Note: About half of our customers come from North Carolina. We are about one and a half hours from Elizabeth City, NC. Our kittens also live in NY, NJ, CO, MI, UT, PA and Canada |

Adoption Procedure for a Charis Siberian Kitten:
First complete the application. Once it is approved you will be put on our Wait List. We will then send you a copy of our kitten contract for you to preview, which will be before you send in your deposit of $200. The balance, $1,800, will be paid by cash at pickup time. Kittens will be chosen anywhere from 4-5 weeks of age from photos, according to the order on the Wait List. Fortunately, since all of my breeding Siberian cats are very sweet and affectionate, even those last on our list are very happy with their new fur baby.
The contract includes clauses about the following:
*Your commitment to provide a permanent and loving home for the kitten
*Your commitment to provide good veterinary care for your kitten
*Your commitment to provide high quality diet and regular exercise/play
*Your agreement to raise the cat indoors and not to declaw.
*Your agreement to neuter/spay before 7 months of age. Then you will receive your TICA papers.
*Our three year limited health guarantee and payment details

What I have personally learned concerning allergies and Siberian Forest Cats:
1. Buy a good HEPA filter vacuum cleaner and vacuum once a week. Clean out the filter when needed. If you start getting allergy problems, check the filter. We have a Dyson Pet Vacuum (color purple). Highly recommended. Love it! I won't buy anything else. We did own a blue Dyson one for 10 years, but then I ran over it when vacuuming out the car. LOL
2. Don't pet the cat and then touch your eyes. However, you should be able to put your nose in their fur.
3. When you get a head cold you may be more sensitive to the protein in the cat's dander.
4.. If the cat sleeps on your bed like a couple of ours, regularly wash your bedspread.
5.. Siberians have a smaller amount of the Fel d1 protein that causes the allergic reaction, but this protein can accumulate
over a period of time, in the cat's dander, and cause a reaction. I vacuum twice a week, This works well for three or four cats.
6.. Wear a mask, or cover your face when you scoop out or clean the litter box. There is more of the dander in this place.
7. If the cat goes through a very stressful time, such as a spay, they will release more of the Feld1 protein. I take an allergy pill when I sit with my queens when they are birthing the kittens. I suggest that the best thing you can do for their stress is to play with them after the stressful event, such as when you get back from the vet's office.
8. It's fine to kiss the cat and cuddle. They can even sleep by your head. Andy sleeps with us every night.
9. Their Fel d1 levels will lower when they get fixed.
10. I have never bathed any of my cats or kittens. This may be stressful for them and cause them to produce more of the protein. In fact, I have never used any of the wipes either.
11. There are some lines in the Siberians that have higher Fel d1 levels. I bought a male adult once from Russia like this. We were so allergic to him that we arranged for him to live elsewhere. We had one litter with him and retired him. (His kittens went to homes that did not have allergy problems).
12. Siberians are truly hypoallergenic and these are definitely the pets for those with allergies!

About Siberian Forest Cats:
The Siberian cat is the national cat of Russia. They come in a variety of colors, including colorpoint which is due to the dark points on their face, tail, ears and paws. These colorpoints originated around the Neva River in Russia and are now known as Neva Masquerade. The word masquerade comes from their mask-like faces.
Siberians lived in the wild for hundreds of years, surviving extreme temperature changes, before they finally became a household pet. Their history goes back to being participants in the first cat show in England in the 1700's. Pet ownership was discouraged under old Soviet law due to housing and food shortages. In 1987 the Russian Cat Clubs finally began to keep official records. On June 28, 1990, the first Siberians were imported to the USA by Elizabeth Terrell of Starpoint Cattery.
These cats are excellent hunters and very intelligent. They are dog-like in personality, quick to learn and are problem solvers. When you call them they come to you and can be trained to play fetch. In physical appearance they are large cats; the females are about 9-14 pounds and the males are several pounds bigger. Maturity is not reached until about 5 years old. Another feature is their ability to jump great heights because their back legs are slightly longer than their front legs. They are strong, big boned animals yet have a sweet disposition. Siberians are faithful and loyal to their owners, often meeting them at the door and following them around the house. They are also affectionate, sociable, love to purr and sometimes squeak or chirp.
The Siberian is possibly the earliest long-haired cat, with 3 layers of fur. Their coat usually becomes full the first winter after their first birthday. The fur is water resistant and very soft.
The most amazing thing about the Siberian cat is that it has been researched and demonstrated that these cats are hypoallergenic. They are low allergen because they produce less Fel d1 in their saliva than other cats. Many people that are allergic to cats have little to no reaction around Siberian cats.
