Recommend a Siberian breeder?
I have friends, a couple, who are both severely allergic to most cats.
They would adopt if it were practical, but their allergies go nuts the second they even walk into a shelter. They researched the reportedly less-allergenic breeds and visited with two Siberian breeders and one Devon Rex breeder in their area (Washington DC Metro). It turns out that they are only mildly allergic to both of those breeds, but they didn't like the Rexes because most of the animals they saw had health problems. They didn't like one of the Siberian breeders because most of her cats seemed to be frightened of people, or at least not very friendly, and the conditions in the house seemed unsanitary. They really liked the other Siberian breeder and purchased a kitten from her. He is sweet, friendly, healthy... a great cat, and they want to get a second cat to keep him company, and because they just really love the first one Unfortunately, the breeder is not expecting to have another litter of kittens for at least six months. By that time, kitten #1 will be over a year old, and my friends would rather introduce him to a new cat as soon as possible. Siberians are fairly rare, and they'd like to avoid driving all over the country to interview breeders. Can anyone recommend a good, professional breeder on the US East Coast with well cared-for, well-socialized cats who may have kittens available in less than six months? TIA -- Jennifer |
