Meet the Siberian
Strong, soft, and full of fun
The Siberian is Russia's national cat — a natural breed shaped by long, freezing winters. That history gave it a powerful build, a dense triple coat and the agility to leap and climb with ease.
Underneath all that fluff is a warm, sociable companion. Siberians tend to be playful, curious and very people-focused, settling happily into family life while keeping a kitten's sense of fun for years.
- A thick triple coat made for cold climates
- Playful and agile well into adulthood

A Siberian-friendly home
Life with a forest cat
Siberians are adaptable and easy to live with — they just need company, somewhere to climb and a little help with that magnificent coat.
Room to climb
A sturdy cat tree and window perches give a Siberian the height and lookout spots it loves.
A seasonal coat routine
A weekly brush keeps the triple coat tidy; step it up during the heavy spring and autumn moults.
About allergies
Some people with mild cat allergies report fewer reactions to Siberians, but no cat is truly hypoallergenic. Spend time with the breeder's cats before you commit.
