Allergy testing is time consuming and as we have busy schedules we cannot offer allergy testing all year round. It is not unusual for us to receive 10-20 inquiries a month on kitten availability from allergy sufferers. We simply can not accommodate everyone. If we have a litter planned, we will offer allergy testing to individuals who are seriously considering purchasing a kitten from us. As test results vary according to the individual cat's allergy levels we will not perform allergy tests for individuals wishing to adopt from another breeder. If you wish to adopt from elsewhere, we advise that you visit that breeder and meet the cats from which you will have a kitten.

In fairness to you, your family, and the kitten, we will not ship a kitten to an individual or family with allergies that has not first visited our cattery in person to test. Siberian kittens need to be handled and loved by all members of the family. A kitten that does not receive this necessary attention will likely become depressed and not do well as a new family member under these conditions. Please do the right thing, honestly represent your special needs or concerns to your breeder, and do what is best for any pet you might be considering for your next companion. Kittens and puppies typically form their closest bonds with humans during weeks 7 through 20. If you adopt a pet during this time period .... and you should, if it turns out that due to your allergies, or some other condition that prevents you from forming that bond, you may well have also taken away that pet's ability to ever fully realize that special human-animal bond with anyone else. The stresses on a young animal that go along with each change of environment can have life-long negative effects.

If you are interested in purchasing one of our kittens and need to arrange for allergy testing, E-mail or call us at 310-323-1292 to book an allergy test visit with us. In this visit you will meet either the mother of the planned litter, or if she is pregnant, one of our other Siberians. You will be asked to hold the cats and put your face in their fur. Please note, when our girls are pregnant we do not allow visitors to touch them. We don't want to risk them catching any bugs that may affect their pregnancy. As our cats have free run of our home, during your visit you can be certain that you will encounter the mother's Fel d1 and thus even if you cannot hold the mother of the litter, you should get an accurate result.

Please allow one hour for an allergy visit. If you are going to react, you will probably do so in the first 20-30 minutes. We recommend you watch for allergic reaction over the next few hours after your visit as allergic reactions can sometimes take longer to develop.

We do charge for our allergy testing procedures. These fees are due and payable in cash during your visit. We do not accept checks for allergy testing. Our fees are as follows:

• 1 hour allergy test visit- $50. If you go on to adopt a kitten from us, $30 of this fee will be deducted from the purchase price of your kitten.

If you do visit us to test your allergies, 

1) you will need to not take any allergy medications for 36 hours prior to your visit;

2) you will be required not to visit other catteries or pet any other cats for 2 weeks prior;

3) you will need to wear freshly laundered clothes; and

4) use a hand sanitizer upon arrival.

These strict rules are necessary to ensure we can provide accurate testing and most importantly, healthy kittens for you to adopt!

Please note, as we are a small breeder and only have one or two litters per year we cannot guarantee you a kitten even if you react favorably to our allergy test. However, people who have successfully allergy tested with us will have first priority when we do have a kitten available.
