No. Due to the increased risks when anaesthetizing young kittens our veterinarians will not preform spay/neuter operations before 6 months of age. Kittens that are sold as pets are required to be spayed/neutered by the time they are 7 months old. Please seek your veterinarians advice on the best age to spay/neuter your cat. Declawing is not permitted under our contract.

The best way to reserve a kitten is with a $250 deposit. The non refundable deposit is counted towards the cost of the kitten with the remaining balance due before the kitten leaves the cattery. There is no charge to join our waitlist, and when unreserved kittens become available everyone on the waitlist will be informed.

Yes, we do sell kittens with breeding rights. For more information including pricing feel free to contact us.

Discuss your kittens diet with your primary care veterinarian. Your veterinarian is the best source of information regarding the appropriate diet for your kitten. Our kittens are free fed dry kitten food plus 2 meals of wet food per day. We are feeding: - Purina Pro Plan Development Chicken and Rice dry kitten food - Purina Pro Plan wet food There are many good kitten foods on the market. If you decide to transition your kitten to a food other than Purina Pro Plan we recommend choosing AAFCO or FDA compliant kitten foods. AAFCO or FDA compliant kitten foods are certified nutritionally complete and balanced. They contain the correct quantities and proportions of nutrients, minerals and vitamins to meet your kitten's nutritional needs. Speak with your veterinarian about your kitten's food. A veterinarian's education and experience makes their opinion on diet and nutrition invaluable. You can trust veterinarians they are not in the pet food industry and you can be confident that their only interest is your pets health. How often should you feed your kitten? Dry food - Have dry kitten food available at all times. Dry food can go stale so remember to keep the food in the bowl fresh. You may also choose to offer wet food 2X a day. Feeding wet food only - If you choose to feed only wet food your kitten will need to be fed 5-6 small meals a day. Generally kittens do not overeat so let the kitten eat until satisfied. Remove any uneaten wet food to prevent the kitten from eating any food that spoils. Your kitten will go home with a bag of Purina Pro Plan kitten food and 3 cans of wet food. If you decide to change the kitten's food, remember to transition to the new food over a 2 week period. Any sudden changes will cause GI upset and diarrhea.

Discuss your kittens diet with your primary care veterinarian. Your veterinarian is the best source of information regarding the appropriate diet for your kitten. We discourage feeding raw diets and homemade food with the exception of cases where your veterinarian recommends these diets. 1. Raw diets put both your kitten and family at risk for parasites. 2. Raw diets put your kitten and family at risk for bacterial infections such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, or Clostridium germs. If you have children this should be taken seriously because toddlers play with the pet food or even put it in their mouth. 3. To live a long, healthy life kittens need proper nutrition. Unbalanced diets that are deficient in some way can cause serious health issues, causing organs such as the heart not to develop properly. Diseases can be misdiagnosed as hereditary illnesses when they are actually diet related illnesses. We recommend you feed AAFCO or FDA compliant kitten foods. AAFCO or FDA compliant kitten foods are certified nutritionally complete and balanced. They contain the correct quantities and proportions of nutrients, minerals and vitamins to meet your kitten's nutritional needs. A veterinarian's education and experience makes their opinion on diet and nutrition invaluable. Trust your veterinarian! Veterinarians are not in the pet food industry and you can be confident that their only interest is your pets' health. In the event that your veterinarian recommends a home-formulated recipe for medical purposes they will be able to recommend a recipe developed by veterinarians certified in animal nutrition.

One way people test for any allergic reactions to the fur is by rubbing the sample on their skin (some like to use their cheek). This test is done in the following steps: 1. Rub the fur on the skin for a short time. 2. If there is no reaction wash the area and test again but increase the time the fur is in contact with the skin. 3. If there is still no reaction keep repeating this test - gradually increasing the time the fur is on the skin. Wash and wait at least 15 min between tests. Keep doing this until you are confident that there are no allergic reactions.

There are many great products available for cats, but for starters here is a list of supplies you may want to consider getting. Essential supplies: - Cat carrier - Litter box and litter * - Cat bed - Food and water dish ** - A houndstooth comb and a slicker brush*** -Nail clippers -(human toe nail clippers work great, too!) - Scratching post - Cat toys - Cat tree Optional supplies: - A window cat perch. Cats love to watch what's going on outside. - Wheatgrass. Cats love to eat it! - A breakaway collar. Collars can tangle the fur around the neck. But if you decide to use a collar make sure it is a breakaway collar for safety. - Rice starch works great as a "dry shampoo". It also helps to remove little knots more easily during grooming. *If you have a dog do not use clumping litter. If you have a large home you should have more than one litter box. The general rule is one box per cat plus an extra box. Place the litter boxes in different spots. **You may want to consider a water fountain instead of a water bowl. Cats love fresh running water. ***These are the only grooming tools needed. We recommend you avoid all deshedding type tools as they can damage the coat.

No, today Neva Masquerades are not a crossbreed. Both parents of a Neva Masquerade are 100% Siberian, and both of the parents must have the colourpoint to produce the Neva Masquerade colouring. The Neva Masquerade is typically all white except for several “points” of black, grey or brown colouring on their face, paws, and ears. This type of colouring is referred to as “colourpoint”. The blue eyes are also a distinguishing characteristic as most traditional Siberians have yellow or green eyes. In the 1980’s the colourpoint gene from Birman and Siamese breeds were added to traditional Siberians, thus resulting in the Neva Masquerade colouring. So where does the name Neva Masquerade come from? The name originates from the fact that they were bred along the Neva river near St. Petersburg, where many masquerade parties took place. The dark colouring on the Neva Masquerade’s face resembles the mask worn by attendees of masquerade parties.

The Siberians dense, long, weatherproof triple coat is surprisingly easy to maintain. Weekly brushing is usually all that is required to keep the coat healthy and free of mats. The exception to this is during the spring and fall, which are shedding seasons for Siberians. During this time daily brushing is advised. Be sure to brush the tight undercoat while grooming your Siberian. The only tools we recommend to groom your cat with are a slicker brush and houndstooth comb. We recommend you avoid all deshedding type tools as they can damage the coat. Rice starch works great as a "dry shampoo". It also helps to remove little knots more easily during grooming.

The expected wait time to adopt a kitten is generally anywhere from 1 week to 3 months. We would be happy to add you to our waitlist, but please note that your place on the list is not an accurate way to determine your wait time. This is because many families are waiting for a specific colour, gender, bloodline, or time to welcome a kitten. Deposits are not required to be on our waitlist, but priority is given to ones who have reserved a kitten with a deposit. As Neva Masquerade kittens are in high demand we strongly recommend reserving your kitten with a deposit. Kitten selection begins when kittens are 6 weeks old.

It is rarely possible to pick your kitten out in person for the following reasons: 1 - In-person visits to the cattery must be scheduled when all kittens in the cattery have had their first set of core vaccinations. This protects all the kittens, including yours, and it also protects the expecting mothers. 2 - The majority of kittens are reserved before they are born and most families make their selection when the kittens are 6 weeks old. Since kittens are not vaccinated until they are at least 8 weeks old this makes it next to impossible to coordinate picking kittens out in person. For these reasons your kitten selection will be very limited or not possible if done in person.
