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!)

CFA Cat Show - Congrats to Grisha our new Champion!

We had a great time at the CFA Cat show here in Austin, hosted by the Eyes of Texas Cat Club!  It was our first CFA show and not only were the people friendly and helpful but the venue was excellent with plenty of room to move around and ogle everyone's gorgeous cats.

We met some wonderful people who were ever so helpful answering our questions and the judges were so friendly and willing to offer us pointers and to explain about the different breeds while they judged.

Thank you so much the club for putting on such a great show and to the people of the CFA Region 3 who have made us feel welcome from the start.

And congratulations to Grisha our gorgeous black smoke Siberian cat and to his wonderful breeder who deserves all the credit, Maria Pavlovszky of Cica Cattery.

Regards,

Dawn, Doug, Gabriel and the Pendraig Kitty Clan!

We're back!!

After a month of computer problems and other issues we're finally back!  And we've got news!

Our litters are growing so fast and so big.  It's hard to believe every day how big they are getting or that they were once so small.  They are a great joy to us!  We've added new photos to our website of these little beauties and here are a few for you to enjoy.  Only a couple kittens are not reserved yet so please let us know soon if you are interested in one of these beauties.



The first photo is Deva, our little firecracker born on July 4th.  She is available to the right home.  She is extremely affectionate and is never far away.  she follows me around, sleeps on my constantly and has the best purr you could imagine.  She is patient with our 14 month old son and loves to be a part of the action in the family.

To the left is our lovely black smoke tortie girl, Fekla.  She has an outstanding profile and head and is built like a little bear.  She is a potential show/breeding prospect and we'd love to see her in the right home contributing to the future of the Siberian breed.  Barring that she'd also make a wonderful and loving pet to a family.

She is sweet, affectionate, intelligent and outgoing.  She loves to be the center of all the action around here and won't let her big red brothers have all the fun!!

She is available to the right loving home! = )

Besides these two girls we also have Eva and her sister Esfir two lovely silvers from Peli.  They will be ready to go home in November just in time for Thanksgiving.  They enjoy lap cuddles and Eva especially loves to help the red boys find more trouble than they know what to do with.  We have photos on our website.

We also have available one gorgeous red mackerel and white boy, Feliks (or Felix!).  He is sweet, affectionate and loves to eat.  We hope he will be as big as his great uncle Ivan who is near 20 lbs at 3 years.  His photo is to the right. 

If you are interested in any of our sweet babies just let us know! We hope you all have an enjoyable and safe Halloween and we will be posting updates of our son in his Halloween costume soon as well as photos from our first CFA cat show.  Grisha will be showing there and we hope that we can do this awesome cat justice and help him win the ribbons he deserves.

Bless you all!!

South Central TICA Cat Show - Austin Texas

We had so much fun! But it was exhausting with our son. =) He behaved very well though and managed to charm all the ladies in the show hall. He also had a blast "helping" set up the show cages and watching all the kitties.

Doug was supposed to get some photos of our cats as they were judged but came home with only photos of our adorable son. =) The photos were so nice that he was forgiven not getting any of the cats.

We enjoyed meeting new people, seeing faces we remembered from the last SC Regional and we hope we can start showing more often now that Gabriel is older. Unfortunately finding anyone who can babysit all weekend is nearly impossible plus I would miss him terribly being gone that long!

Here are a few photos of Gabriel at the show... yes he's learning to walk!

Dora's Little Firecracker!!

What a gorgeous little kitten she is and you can see her handsome father in her as well. She will mature to a stunning smoke tortie with red silver blazing across her face, just like a firecracker. =)

She will be 6 weeks old on Friday and she is available to a loving and adoring home!!

These photos do not do her justice though because I need a new camera. She is not as dark as these look and she is cuddly, and sweet and actually very calm and relaxed. She is also very clever just like her daddy who is always getting into trouble. =)



Visit our website for more information.

Love to you and yours!

Happy 6 Month Birthday Litter B!! - Alsan & Lily's Kids 2008


Can it have gone so fast??

How can it be? It seems like just yesterday the were born in the closet of the spare bedroom. I sat with their mother Lily for 8 hours on the floor while she delivered, chatting with some of my breeder friends on my computer to pass the time. Lily wouldn’t let me leave her side so it was fortunate my mother was there to babysit my son, Gabriel.

Lily was in labor for a long time, so long I almost rushed her off to the vet but just when I was getting ready to pack her up she started to give birth to the first kitten. A breach presentation, and a HUGE kitten too. I had to help her get the kitten out and then we were off!

She quickly finished giving birth to 4 more gorgeous babies, one right after the other for the most part though it did truly take a few hours until all was done.

What a satisfying day for us as the litter was gorgeous and each kitten unique in coloring and it is over all one of the best litters we’ve ever had as far as type goes. They were healthy and robust and they are also extremely affectionate and intelligent. We could not be more proud.

Now, 6 months later we are still pleased with these lovely girls as they mature to strikingly gorgeous cats. But what makes us most happy is the new friends we made as we placed them in loving homes. Homes that are dedicated to feeding a natural diet and caring for these kittens following our natural rearing model. It amazes us every day to see the dedication and adoration each and every one of you feels for your beloved kittens that are fast becoming Siberian cats.

We have enjoyed watching them grow with you and seeing the photos and we hope that you will continue to send more! Please let us know how these girls are doing on their ½ year birthday. =)

Congratulations on being such wonderful kitten moms and dads!! =) We are so happy to have you as a part of our family and we hope that we can celebrate many more birthdays together.

Love,

Dawn, Doug, Gabriel and the Pendraig Clan
