I am so disappointed with how the owner runs her business. One of the main reasons for people to buy Siberian cats is because they are considered less allergenic than other breeds; however, no animal is allergen-free.
I contacted this breeder because my son is severely allergic to cats but wants one so badly. He has wanted one for years, so my husband and finally decided to make the investment in this expensive breed. I contacted many different breeders, all of whom reiterated that Siberians are NOT guaranteed to not trigger allergies, and each one had a way to test to ensure there was no allergic reaction in the client before they would agree to sell their kittens. Not the case with this place! I contacted the owner to ask if one was available and she immediately followed up to say yes she had one available. When I followed up to ask if there was a way we could come in person to meet the cat to see if it trigged my son's allergies , or if she could do a cat hair pillowcase test (yes, this is a real thing some breeders offer), or could we return the cat after taking it home if there was an issue if we could not allergy test, and I got radio silence from her. I had to call and email a few times to eventually get her rude response that, no, she does not do any type of allergy testing that Siberians are hypoallergenic and she never had an issue and that no other breeder lets you meet the cat or does allergy tests either. Totally NOT true! Her prices were also the most expensive out of any of the others I contacted. I would avoid doing business with this breeder. Red flags all around. There is a nice breeder in Bakersfield and another in the Los Angeles area. If you Google search Siberian breeders, you can find a list of breeders by state and area. read more
