Angara Siberians

               *WE HAVE CURRENTLY  KITTENS AVAILABLE FOR PLACEMENT*

NEWS: As we are diversifying our breeding program, we will have the occasional litter that we do not test for allergen levels, but those kittens will realistically have kittens ranging from extremely low to medium low. Most of our litters will be tested and those kittens will primarily be extremely low and very low. 

We are the ONLY Siberian breeding program in the Eastern US to offer the validated saliva testing method for FEL-D1 in kittens for our litters; all kittens in the litter are tested.  We also focus on breeding and placing only the lowest allergen Siberian kittens for those who require very low and exceptionally low levels of the Fel-d1 allergens, and these kittens are rare.  I advise you to check out www.kittentesting.com and  www.lundbergsiberians.com for additional Fel-d1 information.

As we are a small breeder, we work full time and volunteer in the community and have a special needs rescue dog (our Great Pyrenees) there are times that we don't check email for a few days because life happens. Let me apologize in advance for the fact we will likely not return your initial inquiry until you are near the top of the inquiry list or we happen to be on our Angara email. 

We continue to be careful even as the coronavirus emergency is over. We ask that you  be asymptomatic for Covid or any illness, if not feeling well have a negative Covid test the day of visiting, and confirm that you have not been in known contact with anyone with the coronavirus within 10 days. We have hand sanitizer and a mask available.  We appreciate your understanding as we work to be sure all of us, including our cats and kittens, stay healthy.

When we allergen test an entire litter, which is almost all of our litters, we will not determine placements until kittens are 14-15 weeks old, once the lab results are available. Kitten fees will vary based upon allergen level, with those in the exceptionally low and very low range placed with extended allergen testing periods and refunds should it be necessary.  These extremely low and very low allergen kittens are an investment, no doubt about it. We have spent many years and a tremendous amount of money to develop, refine and maintain our breeding program to allow those with moderate to severe cat allergies to successfully adopt a feline companion.   Our costs have increased by 35-40% in the past 2-3 years from acquisition of new lines (and placing those kittens/cats that don't meet our strict standard for DNA health, echocardiograms and Fel-d1 results) to food costs and veterinary expenses, and our fees to adopt one of these very or extremely low Siberian kittens reflect that reality.

If someone has significant cat and dog allergies, our experience is that there is a 50-75% chance of tolerating an extremely low allergen kitten, on the higher end of the range if the allergies are mild to moderate. If someone has significant allergies to rabbits, horses, guinea pigs or eggs in addition to a moderate to severe cat allergies, an extremely low allergen kitten may still not be tolerated. And if there are seasonal allergies to grass, trees and ragweed, we find there is a tipping point where allergies to a kitten may be more significant during that season but otherwise well tolerated with our very low and extremely low allergen kittens, so please consider how the overall allergies symptoms will be managed during those seasons.

For the very few litters that are not allergy tested, selection will be at 8-10 weeks with placement at 12-14 weeks. There is an allergy symptom return policy, and we do require that you allergy test with us before bringing home your kitten, even if only on day of pick-up, to prevent you needing to return a kitten later. These kittens are bred from parents who tested in the exceptionally low/very low range for Fel-d1, but that does not guarantee that their kittens will be in the extremely low range.

We have invested years of extensive time, effort and expense to obtain, breed and then maintain the healthiest lowest Fel-d1 allergen Siberians in the Eastern US. An Angara Siberian is an investment in a very low to exceptionally low allergen pet with a multiyear genetic health guarantee and an allergy symptom return and refund policy, and thankfully, only a few times have these been necessary over the years.
