New Siberian Kittens… for Christmas!

That’s right, its going to be a busy Christmas holiday here at Pendraig Siberian Cats.  We have 3 litters of kittens due over the holidays and our waiting lists are  nearly full.  Our lovely girl Dica is due with Zoran’s kittens (from stud Nadezhda Siberian Cats) any day now.  We have a gorgeous stud visiting us from Forestwind Siberians named Karat and he has potentially sired two upcoming litters.  One is with Lily and she is due on Christmas day if she is pregnant, which looks likely. The second is with Eowyn who is due for New Year’s Day.

Our girl Pendraig Boudicca Aslanovna SunFire has developed alluring deep green eyes as she has matured.  Her coat is very good and her type is showing the promise I saw in her as a very young kitten that fit in the palm of my hand.  She has a very unusual spotting pattern with classic that creates large spots that are almost, but not quite, rosettes.  She has a generally sweet nature, mixed with the appropriate level of “tortitude”, and is intelligent and supremely healthy.  We have been looking forward to his litter for a long time and we hope to get a potential keeper for our cattery to continue the generations of the SunFire line we treasure so much.  This waiting list is full for now unless she has a HUGE litter of Siberian Kittens.

Eowyn is our shy and sweet blue silver tabby.  Her silver is very difficult to see but she passes it on nicely to her kittens sometimes.  She is bred to the hunk Karat and we are hoping for wonderful green eyes siberian kittens since both parents have them as well as very large size as Eowyn is a hefty, big boned beauty.  Eowyn also has the amazing Cica coat and we hope she will pass that onto her kittens.  We are considering retaining one of her kittens so we can retire this lovely girl to a life of luxury.

In 2010 we have some exciting developments including our first litter where Golden Siberian Cats will be possible.  Check back for a big update on our plans for the New Year.

Dica’s Romantic Getaway

Dica_cattree_20090507_008

Our lovely girl Dica leaves on Sept 17, 2009 for her romantic getaway.  She will be meeting Grisha’s handsome half brother, the stunning Zoran.  He resides at Nadezhda Siberian Cats in Houston.

After this litter we hope to get her on a nice long break.  If you have wanted a kitten out of Dica to call your own please don’t hesitate.  It will be late next year before she is bred again.

If Dica cycles on schedule she will be bred soon for Kittens in November or December.  It is our hope that we will get a gorgeous male out of our SunFire line combined with Zoran’s large size, good looks and amazing muzzle.Drako_2009July28_001

Dica’s two kittens from her first litter with Grisha are quite lovely, large and amazing.  The male red silver classic Siberian Cat Drako is going as a stud and show prospect to a new cattery.  His sister Halinka has already left for her home and is settled in with her new boyfriend and her new momma.  Please read our Siberian Kitten testimonials to see how she’s settling in.

Zoran We know that our hard work over the past 5 years has finally started paying off and that is in large part to finding a great stud like Grisha and now Zoran.  The Cica cattery truly has created some amazing studs in these two boys.  We are blessed to have Nadezhda Siberians working so closely with us to achieve this dream come true litter for us.

Dica will leave for her romantic getaway on Thursday and return to us in a few weeks if all goes as planned.  Zoran’s wonderful family is going to take great care of our little girl and if it wasn’t for this wonderful friendship we’d never consider using an outside stud in this manner.

We cannot wait to see the kittens these two cats produce.  If Zoran’s first litter is any indication these kittens will be amazing.

Please check back often for updates!

Welcoming another Siberian Cat Litter!

Our lovely girl Eowyn had given birth to three beautiful Siberian Kittens.  We are proud of her and of Favst for this lovely litter with some of the most beautiful colors we have yet to see.

"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!

"Jehanne" - the tortie female, possibly a smoke Siberian. She looks much like her great great aunt.  She is now available.

"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.

Photos coming soon!

Thank you for your great interest in our Siberian Cattery!  We hope you enjoy our stories and our photos.

Regards,

More YouTube Siberian Kitten Stars from Pendraig!

We've had some fun making these videos of our Siberian kittens and our son Gabriel.  There are more to come and maybe in the coming weeks we can do even more of them.

I know I'd like to get some video of Dica's stunning litter!  They are just so gorgeous and as Drako gets older he is turning more and more silver and reminding me a lot of Aslan his grandsire.

Thanks to all our video fans! =)  Let us know what you think about these videos and be sure to rate them for us on YouTube.




And be sure to watch this one for the surprise ending! =)

Two of our Siberian Kittens in their new home! Now YouTube Stars!

We were so pleased to see this video made by the two young ladies who now own our lovely girls Godava and Miku (formerly Gertruda).

As you can see they are settling in well and are already spoiled!  Look at all those toys.

This video is so well made and clever, it was such a joy to see them again.  Gabriel really enjoyed it and started meowing and pointing at them right away.  He recognized the kittens he helped to raise.

We hope their new family loves them and has many many years of joy!  We can tell by this video that our girls have a wonderful home.  Thank you!!

Introducing our Golden Siberian Cat Program - Welcome Esenia Auric!

Golden Siberian Cats are truly unique.  We have long admired this color and have done extensive research to find less popular lines, with lower inbreeding, to bring to our cattery to begin our golden program.

We welcome our first Golden Siberian Cat Queen with open arms.  Her name is Esenia Auric and she is from some amazing breeders working with the golden color, Auric Cattery in Russia.  Esenia has one of the best expressions of golden, where it is not too orange nor is it dull.  Her color resembles my favorite gem, a citrine, with all the glorious shades of gold, yellow, brown and even a pale golden white.  Her coat also has a unique gleam that dazzles the eye in the sun light.

Not since red have we found a color we love more and for my husband this is definitely his favorite.  Of course Esenia was a present for him and he is quite taken with her.  We are fortunate to have this lovely girl, not only a beautiful golden Siberian kitten but affectionate and darling as well.  She has truly made us fall in love all over again with this amazing breed.

We are proud to announce the launch of our Golden Siberian Cat program here at Pendraig Siberian Cats.   To compliment Esenia we are getting more golden carriers to augment our lines and help us to produce some rare golden Siberian Cats, hopefully!  We hope to bring Golden, and lovely warm brown tabby cats into the homes of people all over the United States and perhaps even further.

Seeing a great deal of inbreeding among some of the more prestigious catteries we also hope to bridge the gap and bring genetic diversity back to golden lines.  We are in a unique position to do this thanks to our own exclusive foundation line.  We are also getting our golden carrier male, a gorgeous silver tabby named Duke from foundation lines that carry golden.  Combined we should have some of the most beautiful Golden Siberian Cats with the most diverse genetics available.  We can only hope to do our predecessors proud and one day produce the amazing type, superior health and beauty they have become known for in Russia and beyond.

We are also happy to make new friends within the golden loving community as we strive together to preserve this rare color and also to promote it and educated judges and breeders alike on how to recognize and how to breed for these precious gems.

Look for more in the future as we welcome our other golden line Siberian Cats to our Cattery here in Texas.  We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.

Regards,

Siberian Kittens born to Lily and Grisha at Pendraig

Congratulations to Lily and Grisha who have produced a gorgeous litter of kittens for us!  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.

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.

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!

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.

Thank you again to Lily for being such a great mom!
