You are probably as surprised as I was to find a cat that is hypo-allergenic and beautiful as well!! My intro to the Russian Siberians started in December of 2004 from a search on the internet for hypo-allergenic cats. I couldn't beleive my eyes when I saw the pictures of these awesome felines. |
The first thing to do was to try and find some. Not an easy task. My first kittens came from Meowdermuffins in Las Vegas. Faith spent alot of time with me, as did Rebecca, from California, as I had never been involved with the purebred cat world. Horses, yes, from our Sunnybrook Stables operation of hypo-allergenic Curly horses. But the cat world was all new to me. |  |

The next kittens came from Europe. Figured if we could not find any here, then we would go to the source. Saw a picture of Denise and Shajana and fell in love. But how to get them here!! Fortunately I had a client in Germany that was looking to purchase 3 of our execellent Curly mares and the hope was to bring them home with me when I delivered the horses. Sounds simple! But it was not. Thankfully one of our new found friends in Germany was able to bale me out when we were refused boarding on the plane to leave! She took the kittens back to her home for a week and finally we were able to bring Denny, Shajana, Quirinja and Miska to Canada. I never dreamt so many people would love these kitties as I do. Our kittens have made new homes all accross Canada and the United States. Stella, one of Chayana's and Denny's kittens went all the way to Florida! One of the hardest things to do is to give yourself a name. Has to be regal, and special, just like the Siberians. I found the name "SVETLANA" in a Russian book of names, and it means luminescent; star. What could be more appropriate. Plus the SS for Svetlana Siberians, goes hand in hand with our SS for Sunnybrook Stables!! |
