SIBERIAN CATS
These large, beautiful cats are as sweet, gentle, affectionate and
playful as they are powerful.
Originally from Russia, these longhaired beauties are hypo-allergenic
due to a protein that is lacking in their system and which often is
the source of allergies with other cat breeds.
Siberian cats do not produce dander, which makes them an excellent
choice for people who love cats but have an allergy to cat dander.
Description
Siberians tend to be large cats - males grow between 18 and 20 lbs,
and females between 12 and 16 lbs. Siberians have a muscular
mid-section and longer hind legs, making them powerful leapers.
They have a dense coat and long, bushy tail
which helped to keep them warm in the cold climates from which they
originated. Despite it's length, the Siberian coat requires minimal
grooming as it does not mat like other long-haired breeds.
Siberian coats come in a wide array of colours:
Calicos, Reds, Blues, and Browns to name a few.

The Siberian is a great choice for the cat lover with allergies - as they do not have FeLD protein in their saliva which creates dander, and are hypoallergenic, or not an allergy problem to most allergy sufferers. These cats do require one important regimen - daily hugs and kisses!

Characteristics and Temperament
Siberians have terrific personalities and many dog-like character
traits. They are very intelligent and affectionate
pets.
They adore their humans and thrive on kisses, cuddles and
plenty of companionship.
Special Requirements
These "hypo-allergenic cats" only shed two times a year which makes
it much less labour-intensive keeping the cat hair pollution
problems at bay .
