Breed Spotlight: Siberian Cats

Before bringing a Siberian home, it's important to ensure the breed is right for your lifestyle. All cats are different, have different personalities, and have different needs, and not all breeds are suitable for everyone. If you are considering purchasing or adopting a Siberian cat, here is some helpful information about the breed to aide you in your research:

Physical Description: Siberians are medium to large-sized cats with semi-long to long hair that is often very thick. Siberians come in a variety of colors and tend to have gold, green, or blue eyes. These cats are also quite stocky and sturdy. At full maturity female Siberians weigh between 12 to 15 lbs and males weigh between 15 to 20 lbs.

Behavior: Siberians love to interact with people and other animals, and are known to be friendly, warm, and fearless. These cats are very affectionate, gentle, and calm, and are quite clever, athletic, and energetic. Siberians love being their owner's best friend and companion.

Grooming: Usually once-a-week grooming is sufficient, except during the spring or fall when these cats tend to shed more often. During that time you may need to groom your cat a few times a week or even daily.

Ideal Companion: Siberians are able to adapt to any lifestyle, but do best with owners who like to interact and play. Siberians are also an ideal cat for people who have other pets in the home. These cats do well with children and make a great family pet. Siberians are also believed to be hypoallergenic, so they are ideal for people with cat allergies.
