Reconsider These Things Before Becoming Siberian Cat Breeders

By Ryan Meyer


Being a breeder is another level of cat lover. This is taking the love for felines on to a level of in depth knowledge by making sure that their species continue to be properly domesticated. The job of being a breeder is not as easy as it sounds.

Pure bred kittens are adorable and have great temperament. Siberian cats are especially tamed and affectionate which makes them a great choice. Like all registered Siberian Cat breeders Georgia has a wide array of selections to choose from. If one wants to be a part of this breeder society, there are some prerequisites to consider.

This is an expensive hobby to take up. This is also not the road to a business and fast money. The expenditure on food, medical bills, supplies and so on are very high and may not even break even with the initial investment. To gain a substantial amount of money in breeding means that the breeder is already renowned in the community.

Knowledge about the breed can be the difference between a healthy litter and a failure. There is a lot to know about their pedigree and genetic history. Knowing what two types of Siberian cats go together is something that takes time and dedication to learn. It also helps to ask other breeders for their expertise.

Ask around for tips and expert knowledge from those who have been in the business for a while. They should know a thing or two that cannot be found on the books. Getting someone for mentorship can be a bit difficult though. Knowing these people is also a good move to grow ones network and credibility as a breeder.

Cleaning, grooming and feeding the cattery is a basic responsibility that needs to be done religiously. This helps maintain a healthy environment for the cats. Taking vacations and long range plans may be unlikely in the future, especially with that many to take care of. This activity is not only for selling but, many do it for the shows.

Consider the damage that might be done to the house. If one is considering to take up this hobby, then there is some extensive knowledge on life with cats as pets. Fur everywhere is expected since Siberians are know to shed a good amount. About four out of five stars. Feline bodily substances from time to time be found in random places, so it best to expect it.

It is not recommended to buy many cats to start with. Best to start out with one or two females, also known as queens. For beginner breeders it is best to mate the female with the male cat of another instead of breeding the male yourself. But if there is a male cat in the cattery, make sure that he is separated from the females so he does not have access to them the whole time.

Finding a stud, or a male cat can be difficult especially if one is looking for a specific type of the breed. Breeders with a stud also ask for mating fees and other documents that will make sure that the female feline is free of dangerous illnesses such as feline AIDS and leukemia. Looking for the perfect mate may have the breeder travel far and wide, if necessary.
