This goal has been a dream for so long it is hard to believe it is actually upon us but of course there is still the waiting, the worry that we feel for every mother that is bringing new life into this world and the uncertainty of what types of kittens we will have.<br /><br />What we have come to expect from the sire of the litter, however, is strong, vibrant, robust kittens with loving personalities and beautiful type. Esenia Auric has these very qualities as well and it is a promising match. For those of you following our progress these years you will appreciate the investment of time, money, love and energy we have put into making the dream of a Golden Siberian Cat program at Pendraig a reality.<br /><br />This color is truly unique and unlike anything I have ever seen in cats. Though I appreciate the many beautiful shades these cats come in, including the primal and original beauty of the brown (black) tabby cat the Golden and the red have special places in my heart.<br /><br />Now we are nearly there and I feel like a child at Christmas!<br /><br />Please keep our girl Esenia Auric in your thoughts and prayers, as well as her kicking and squirming kittens that await their entry into this world. For those few lucky families that will be getting one of these kittens for their very own we hope you will enjoy them as much as we will.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>If you'd like to learn more about the <a href="http://pendraig.com/siberians/Golden_Siberian_Cats.php">Golden Siberian Cat</a> please check out our <a href="http://pendraig.com/siberians/Golden_Siberian_Cats.php">page</a> dedicated to the color.

We are proud of her and of Favst for this lovely litter with some of the most beautiful colors we have yet to see.<br/><br/>"Johann" - the black smoke and white Siberian kitten is what some describe as a "tuxedo". He is our first Siberian kitten of this unique color. He is a gorgeous boy who will have the smokey black of his grandsire, Grisha but with white cheeks, nose, belly and feet just like Favst. He is on hold for Kate on our waiting list!<br/><br/>"Jehanne" - the tortie female, possibly a smoke Siberian. She looks much like her great great aunt. She is now available.<br/><br/>"Jakime" - is the big and beautiful brown classic tabby male. He is very large already and has a gorgeous swirl pattern that will make many a heart skip a beat. We love this name for him as it is pronounced similar to "Yah-keem" we think! And one of my favorite actors is Joaquin Phoenix. He is very talented and perhaps this boy will be as well.<br/><br/>Photos coming soon!<br/><br/>Thank you for your great interest in our <a href='http://pendraig.com/' target='_blank'>Siberian Cattery</a>!

of gold, yellow, brown and even a pale golden white.<span style=''> </span>Her coat also has a unique gleam that dazzles the eye in the sun light.</p> <p class='MsoNormal'>Not since red have we found

Lily went into labor late yesterday afternoon and promptly delivered all three kittens before midnight. She is an old pro now and didn't need any help. However, she wasn't happy unless I stayed by her side.<br/><br/>We are so proud of our girl with her beautiful litter and once again we are proud to see Grisha's influence in producing some wonderful coats and type. This litter unites lines from the Black cattery on both sides of the pedigree.<br/><br/>We have one spotted red male (looks to be a darker silver with classic pattern genes). We also have a nice torbie that may turn silver by the time she is mature and a girl that appears to be a dark smoke tortie. All are so beautiful!<br/><br/>We know the new kitten owners will be thrilled and all of these kittens are on hold pending reservations from those on the waiting list. This just leaves us with Eowyn's litter which is due in about a month.<br/><br/>Thank you again to Lily for being such a great mom!<br/><br/>Dawn<br/><a href='http://www.pendraig.com' target='_blank'>Pendraig Siberian Cats</a>Technorati Tags: <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/siberian%20kittens' class='performancingtags'>siberian kittens</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/siberian%20cats' class='performancingtags'>siberian cats</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/siberian%20cattery' class='performancingtags'>siberian cattery</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/red%20siberian%20kitten' class='performancingtags'>red siberian kitten</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/orange%20tabby%20siberian%20kitten' class='performancingtags'>orange tabby siberian kitten</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/calico%20siberian%20kitten' class='performancingtags'>calico siberian kitten</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/purebred%20kittens' class='performancingtags'>purebred kittens</a><br/><br/><div class='zemanta-pixie'><img src='http://img.zemanta.com/pixy.gif?x-id=ba16a8d6-c77c-8f00-a530-b4ad17165d72' class='zemanta-pixie-img'/></div></div>Dawn Campbellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16893347875997100598noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531207726120875533.post-75581733063150772062009-06-18T17:34:00.001-05:002009-06-18T17:34:29.294-05:00Pendraig's Obsession with Red Siberian Cats!<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img alt='Image of Red Siberian Cat Pendraig Red Sonja SunFire' src='http://www.pendraig.com/siberians/images/females/Sonja_20090618_001.jpg' style='max-width: 200px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;'/>The true love of red starts in my childhood, when I found a litter of kittens in the neighborhood. All the boys were red and the girls were color points that looked much like Ragdolls. I begged and pleaded to my parents and they let me pick two to bring home. The colorpoint female was my mom's but the red boy, he was mine. I named him Tiger. I will always remember him and my love of red has never wavered.<br/><br/>When I found the Siberian Cats it was love at first sight. I had always loved Russia with it's unique culture and history. And here was a piece of Russia that I could have in my home. When I began looking at different breeders I would come back again and again to one that had a red male.<br/><br/>At the time it seemed red was a very unpopular color in the breed. Indeed more than a few breeders told me I was crazy to breed with that color as they found the color impossible to place. I guess they just didn't have the love of reds that I do, and I believe there are many other lovers of red out there. They contact me daily asking for a red kitten!<br/><br/>Out of my first litter I was blessed with 2 red females, a rare treat. One was Sonja, who is a rare red solid with green eyes. She is my pride and joy and like most red cats I've known she is extremely sweet, loves to cuddle and will play all day with my toddler. Sonja is also the carrier of my rare foundation line that is exclusive to the breed.<br/><br/>Sonja had only one litter but her son, Aslan has been a wonderful producer of kittens for us including some beautiful reds. And when it came time to retire Aslan from breeding we knew we could never part with him.<br/><img src='http://www.pendraig.com/siberians/images/males/Favst_20090502_LJ_011.jpg' style='max-width: 200px; float: right; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px;'/><br/>And now there is Favst. Aslan's son out of his last litter with Lily. Favst is a representation of all our hopes as he shows us great progress in type, coat and also he has the wonderful personality of his grandmother and sire. Another glorious red to join the ranks of the Pendraig Red Siberian Cats.<br/><br/>Though we work with other colors, and will be focusing on an additional color that is as bright and glorious as red we will always have a special place in our hearts for red.

We have 3 beautiful kittens and for once it is more males than females. These Siberian kittens were born on May 29, 2009 just in time for our friend's birthday!<br/><br/>The proud parents are Pendraig Boudicca Aslanovna SunFire (mom) and Cica Grigorii Yaroslavovich Black (daddy). Dica (Boudicca) is a lovely foundation line Siberian cat with a striking spotted torbie pattern with white. Grisha (Grigorii) is a stunning black smoke male from our friends at Cica cattery. He has the charateristic Cica coat, which is plush and full with the proper Siberian cat feel, and excellent type. The two combined have produced some wonderful kittens that will have the best of both words, good type and genetic diversity which promotes health and vigor.<br/><br/>All three of these kittens are on hold for the waiting list pending review of breeder or show prospects. We expect each to be reserved within the next week. Please feel free to contact us about getting on our <a href='mailto:siberians@pendraig.com?subject=Kitten%20Waiting%20List%20Inquiry'>Siberian Kitten waiting list</a> for future litters that we have planned.<br/><br/>Now onto the introductions for our lovely Traditional Siberian Cat Litter H Kittens!<br/><br/>We have not decided on names yet but for now they will be H1 for the dark male, H2 for the red silver classic male and H3 for the lovely torbie girl.<br/><br/>Dica had an easy labor and it went by very quickly. She is an excellent mom just like her own and keeps her kittens spotlessly clean and very fat. She is also very proud of them. We have some photos for you all to enjoy!<br/><img border='2' src='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_g6J4YaQSy6s/SiaqjXgP4MI/AAAAAAAAAFw/J-WuTQBqIcE/%5BUNSET%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' style='max-width: 200px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;'/><br/>First H1 - We think he is going to be a lovely brown classic tabby (also known as a black blotched tabby). He has a very promising type right now and a gorgeous head. He has four white feet though the front it is mostly his toes.<br/><br/>He has a nice head shape, good muzzle width and his chin is strong already. He is also well boned and hefty! <br/><br/>We are keeping an eye on his development and he may be going to a great show home if he continues to develop as we hope he will.<br/><br/>He has a bit of white on his chin, his neck and a tiny bit on his belly. H1 is a very handsome little guy!<br/><img border='2' alt='Image of red silver classic Siberian kitten from Pendraig Siberian Cats.' src='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_g6J4YaQSy6s/SiasqzJAEVI/AAAAAAAAAF0/MjrOs9xEm6o/%5BUNSET%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' style='max-width: 200px; float: right; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px;'/><br/>Next we have H2. A beautiful, and striking red silver classic tabby male Siberian kitten. He is an absolute beauty and with his red silver coloring is very striking. Though his type does not appear to be as nice as H1 he is still a remarkably lovely little guy and will be gorgeous. He will make his new family very lucky.<br/><br/>He also has some white feet, similar to his uncle Favst. We are very proud to have yet another red male in the Pendraig cat family!<br/><br/>He is going to be much lighter in red color than Favst and probably be more like Aslan when he matures except of course he will be a classic tabby Siberian cat.<br/><img border='2' alt='Image of a sweet and lovely patched tabby Siberian cat from Pendraig Siberian Cats' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_g6J4YaQSy6s/Siat5YsJmuI/AAAAAAAAAF4/-XJ-DGTBN78/%5BUNSET%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' style='max-width: 200px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;'/><br/>Last but not least we have our darling girl, H3. She is a lovely classic torbie and like H1 she has already the beginnings of excellent type. We do hope that she lives up to her promise and that we will see her gracing a friend's cattery soon. She has good boning and already a sweet personality that just loves to be cuddled.<br/><br/>We know this little lady is going to be beautiful and will make her new family proud! Right now you can just see a bit of a red blaze forming on her nose. Very striking!<br/><br/>We hope you have enjoyed meeting the newest Pendraig Siberian Cat family. We will continue to post photos of them as they grow and please look back soon for updated photos from our Litter G!<br/><br/>Best regards,<br/><br/>Dawn, Doug & Gabriel Campbell plus the Pendraig Siberian Cat Family!<br/>Breeders of <a href='http://www.pendraig.com' target='_blank'>Traditional Siberian Cats in Texas</a><br/><br/>Technorati Tags: <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/siberian%20cat' class='performancingtags'>siberian cat</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/siberian%20kittens' class='performancingtags'>siberian kittens</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/siberian%20cat%20breeder' class='performancingtags'>siberian cat breeder</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/red%20siberian%20cat' class='performancingtags'>red siberian cat</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/calico%20siberian%20cat' class='performancingtags'>calico siberian cat</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/healthy%20siberian%20kittens' class='performancingtags'>healthy siberian kittens</a>, <a rel='tag' href='http://technorati.com/tag/purebred%20kittens' class='performancingtags'>purebred kittens</a><br/><br/><div class='zemanta-pixie'><img src='http://img.zemanta.com/pixy.gif?x-id=8b2f00cf-e261-8c39-87ba-f2be935aae39' class='zemanta-pixie-img'/></div></div>Dawn Campbellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16893347875997100598noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531207726120875533.post-10728772440622078802009-05-16T22:16:00.000-05:002009-05-16T22:16:00.301-05:00Our Siberian Kitten Buyers tell Texas NO to HB 3180!<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>Thank you to Olga and her family for this wonderful letter!! We hope the Texas senators read it and take it seriously. <br/><br/>Olga is absolutely right too! A No Kill Nation is possible and it will save the homeless animals!! It doesn't require shutting down breeding, it requires revamping the shelter system which is run as an animal killing industry not an animal adoption industry.<br/><br/>I hope to see more letters from our wonderful kitten buyers. We desperately need your help!! Thank you so much, Olga!!<br/><br/>Letter from Olga & her family:<br/><br/><p><span style='font-family: Georgia;'>Dear sir/madam, <br/> <br/>We're writing to you as happy owners of Siberian cat that we've purchased last year from Pendraig Siberian Cats cattery in Texas. <br/> <br/>We've selected this cattery after a careful research. The reason we approached a cattery and not a shelter is simply because our son has severe allergies from most of the animals including cats, and we were forced to narrow down on the only hypo-allergenic cat breed - Siberians. <br/> <br/>We're very happy with our choice since we've received the non allergenic animal and our son doesn't display any signs of allergies. We're also very appreciative of the fact that we've received from Pendraig cattery a well socialized, potty-trained, and extremely healthy kitten. In addition, we continue to keep in contact with our breeders, they answer any of our questions regarding care for our cat and give us all of the assistance and advice we might need. <br/> <br/>We would like to let Texas Senators know that we believe that this bill is unacceptable! It discriminates unfairly against responsible breeders like Pendraig Siberian Cats. We're very much oppose of the bill that regulates the right of any individual to own or breed an intact animal.<br/> <br/>In addition we believe that if you want to help lower euthanasia rates, that a NO KILL State is possible! You should probably consider to put in place the reforms to shelters and animal control policies as recommended by the No Kill Advocacy Center!<br/> <br/>We would also like to point your attention to the fact that this measures might increase the abandonment of pets and cause shelters to be flooded with dogs and cats as people cannot afford to comply with the outrageous fees and fines! ASPCA is officially OPPOSED to Mandatory Spay and Neuter! ASPCA also says that mandatory spay neuter measures do not work. <br/> <br/>Our family strongly oppose legislation that infringes on the rights of Americans to own and raise animals.<br/> <br/>We live in New Jersey and were planning to visit Texas. However we're outraged of the prospect of passing this bill, and won't be visiting Texas should you pass the bill! <br/> <br/>Sincerely, <br/> <br/>Olga Natanzon, Dr. Victor Natanzon, & two sons.<br/><br/></span></p><p><span style='font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman";'>English Town, NJ </span></p> <span style='font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman";'> </span><br/><br/><div class='zemanta-pixie'><img src='http://img.zemanta.com/pixy.gif?x-id=71846dfa-7fdf-8563-b196-deeeb1ae01c4' class='zemanta-pixie-img'/></div></div>Dawn Campbellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16893347875997100598noreply@blogger.com0
