Happy Holidays from Pendraig Siberians!

It's that time of year again. Where does the time go?

We've had a blessed year! A new home, a growing and healthy toddler and our sweet and loving pets. We've had a few set backs but with strength and courage we persevere!

This new year brings us new challenges and new hopes! We see our girl Dica maturing into everything we had hoped for and she will also be matched with Grisha or another fine male for a much anticipated litter!

We have Favst born out of Lily's latest litter who promises to be a real looker. He is a gorgeous red classic! It is our hope to campaign our first kitten thanks to this bright, intelligent and charismatic boy!

Grisha has proven to not only be a loving part of our family but an outstanding stud that produces lovely babies. Thanks to Maria and Cica Cattery!

Our son, Gabriel is 15 months old and walking now. I still can't believe it! And we look forward to his second Christmas! It is more like a first because he was too young for presents or caroling last year at just 3 - 4 months old.

Our kitten and cat owners have already begun sending in their End of the Year Reports and these are treasured gifts to us! We look forward to each and every one of them.

We still have two available kittens with us and it is a joy to watch them grow and learn. Deva is a doll, sweet as her mother but laid back like her father. She is gorgeous, with her dad's full coat and her mom's lovely eyes. She is fantastic with children and tolerates Gabriel's sometimes rough petting!

Esfir is the last of Peli's kittens (besides Eowyn who stays). She is a lovely silver classic with her mom's big green eyes. She is smart and affectionate though more reserved with our son.

We've said goodbye to some of our beloved queens this year. Dora was retired and is living with a great family in Austin, TX. Peli is leaving here on Monday for her forever home near Dallas, TX. It is with a heavy heart we see these girls depart but we know they will have all the love and attention they want and deserve without having to compete!

Thank you to all of our wonderful families that have taken one of our babies into your homes and hearts. May you have a blessed and joyful Holiday Season.

Love to you and yours,

Dawn, Doug, Gabriel and the Pendraig Kitty Clan! (and Connor the Anatolian Shepherd Dog!)
