Celebrating Angela: Our Remarkable Siberian Cat

We wanted to take a moment to express our sincere adoration and appreciation for a special lady, Angela. Not only is she an instant favorite among our visitors who come to see our cats, but she has also captured the hearts of those lucky enough to have one of her kittens. Recently, she astonished us and many in the cat breeding community, both nationally and overseas with our partners in Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, and Russia, by successfully birthing and raising 11 kittens!

Kittenhood

When Angela joined our family, she quickly bonded with our first Siberian cat, Lucas, and our working queen, Luna. She acclimated with ease and showcased her unique personality. One of her quirks was her remarkable use of her paws. It was almost as if she used them like hands! When she got excited, she would touch you with her paws before rubbing against you like a typical cat.

Angela also had a profound love for food. This is where her "hands" came into play. When we tossed a treat in front of her, she would cover it with both paws and slide it toward her mouth. It was adorable to watch! During playtime, our other two cats struggled to keep up with her speed and agility. Angela is a true example of how athletic Siberian cats can be, and she continues to inspire her kittens to this day.

Motherhood

Angela has had three litters before her most recent, which has garnered significant attention. Each litter was sired by our king, Senge, a Neva Masquerade with striking blue eyes. Angela has given birth to color point kittens, flame point kittens (with orange tips and blue eyes), and black or blue tabbies, as well as calico females. Her first litter had four kittens, followed by a litter of five male flame points, and finally, a litter of three.

Angela has always been devoted to her kittens, nurturing them until they were ready to find their forever homes. While some mothers gradually distance themselves from their kittens as they wean and grow more independent, Angela has consistently preferred to spend time with them, even during their rambunctious "pre-teen" phase!

The Big Litter

Based on her previous litters, we were surprised by how large Angela was getting before delivery. We initially thought it might be mostly water weight. Nothing could have prepared us for the arrival of 13 kittens! Unfortunately, two were stillborn, but that still left her with 11 healthy kittens. This was also her first time having red kittens, with five males in total. She welcomed four flame point boys, one color point girl, five red boys, and one blue calico girl.

As you may know, female cats only have eight nipples. In the beginning, we were busy with supplemental feeding and cleaning. However, it didn't take long for Angela to recover from her birth. Before we knew it, we were weighing each kitten daily and found that they continued to gain weight, even as we reduced supplemental feeding. Angela was singlehandedly feeding, cleaning, and raising 11 kittens on her own. She taught them how to use the litter box, play, and more.

We are truly astounded by Angela's dedication and strength. As her kittens find their new homes, she is now enjoying life at home, getting pampered and taking a well-deserved break!

The Importance of Hypoallergenic Cats

For families seeking hypoallergenic, purebred Siberian cats, understanding the unique qualities of this breed is essential. Siberian cats are known for their friendly demeanor and adaptability. They are also less likely to trigger allergic reactions compared to other breeds. This makes them an ideal choice for families with allergy sensitivities. At Senge Siberians, we prioritize breeding healthy, well-socialized kittens that thrive in loving homes.

As we continue to expand our reputation for quality breeding, we ensure that every kitten finds a loving home. We also provide education for new cat owners and offer discounted quality food and cat litter for both new and existing cat owners. Our goal is to support families in their journey with their new feline companions.
