Sky Mountain Siberian Cats
Sky Mountain Siberian Cats is a small hobby cattery conveniently located about an hour north of Seattle, WA and an hour and a half south of the Canadian border. Our cats and cattery are both TICA registered.
My husband and I train and show Arabian horses on a national level and we are big animal lovers (http://www.rolervickarabians.com/). When my husband and I were first married, I unfortunately had to give my Manx cats to friends to care for as my husband was allergic to them. We had been “catless” for five years when our daughter started begging for a kitten. While visiting one of our clients’ farms to evaluate their herd, we noticed their two beautiful cats. They went on to explain how they were allergic to cats, but these cats were special; they were Siberian cats from Russia and they were non-allergenic. Even better – they didn’t bother my husband’s allergies.
It wasn’t long after that visit and some research on the internet that I realized Siberian cats were still pretty rare in Washington State. In 2001, I located a breeder in California, Dana Osborn of Willowbrook Siberians, who had a seal lynx point male kitten available. A couple months later, when Harley was old enough, we flew him up to Seattle to live with us.
We have come to realize how special these cats are and what fantastic personalities they have. In 2007, we decided to add more of these wonderful cats to our family. After searching for some time, we found our beautiful male kitten, White Nights Sevastian Alexandrov, from White Nights Siberians and later that year imported a gorgeous female kitten, Charoits Joconda, from Charoit Siberians in Saratov, Russia. Since then we have added two more females to our family. In September of 2010 we imported a female kitten, Kalinka Sariola of Sky Mountain, from Sariola Siberians in Estonia. The newest addition to our family, Massandra Iz Odissei of Sky Mountain, came to us from Barcelona Iz Odissei Siberians of Moscow, Russia in January 2011.
Our male, White Nights Sevastian Alexandrov, has won his TICA Championship title and we are looking forward to competing for his next award. Our female, Charoits Joconda, won a Top 5 kitten final in her limited showing. Kalinka Sariola of Sky Mountain won her TICA Championship at only 8.5 months old. We look forward to showing Massandra Iz Odissei of Sky Mountain this coming spring.
