At 2 years old.....

 

"Nimue is doing really well, and we are just so incredibly in love with her! She still is so quick to purr and is so loving. She's gotten even more feisty now that she feels at home, and it is SO funny! My husband and I laugh so hard on a daily basis and she has already brought so so much joy into our lives."

 

"We talk all the time about how we can't believe how lucky we are to have her! And it's clear she is fond of us as well, as she always has to nap between both of us on the couch and cuddle with both of us before bed/when we come home/etc."

  

"Our kitten Nimue is the best little companion we could've ever asked for. She is incredibly sweet, funny, and well behaved (as much as a kitten can be)! 
It's clear she came from a loving environment and we loved working with Alea, who is very kind and helpful and obviously loves her cats very much. We are very happy with our experience and even more happy with our new cat!" 
---Kees W., Puyallup, WA

"Bacopa is great! Recently I discovered she loves to play fetch with a little ball toy she has (its her absolute favorite toy ever). She carries it around in her teeth everywhere and chases after it when I throw it. Then brings it back and drops it by my feet and waits for me to throw it again. 
Its the cutest thing!! 

She's full of fluff and soooo soft! 
My friends and family all adore her. 
And of course I love her so much. 
She's the best part of coming home." 
--- Haylee K., Prospect, KY 

 

"Yuri is such a gem. We love him so much! 

His personality is the best we ever could have hoped for. He is incredibly affectionate and cuddly, always in the same room as we are and greeting us at the door when we come home."

 
 
 
 

"He’s playful and silly, absolutely loves laying in the sink and drinking from the faucet. So much so that he has started to expect we’ll turn it on for him, he lays there waiting to drink. 

He is huge, close to 5 pounds already. Sometimes we forget he’s a kitten! He spends most most of his time on his back and loves his belly rubbed, can’t get enough of it. He has some gorgeous colors developing as well, lots of golden brown"

---Lauren V., Seattle, WA
 
 
 
 

When Yuri was a baby,
 he learned to lay in the sink,
because Momma laid there
to get a break from the 7 kittens!
(Baby Yuri is shown below, 
and then young Yuri, and a bit older Yuri)

 

"Macaroni is simply the best cat in the world!  He is sweet, affectionate, silly, and a little bit sassy sometimes." 

 

"He is so great with our two children and extremely tolerant with our 15 month-old. Honestly, he completes our little family. We are so blessed to have this furry little guy. 

Thank you so much!" 

---Trisha Z., Portland, OR

 

"I wanted to give you a yearly update on Avisha!  He is the darling of our household, polite, content (for the most part), and gently playful.

I have to commend you on how terrific you are at raising kittens! Avi doesn’t mind having his nails trimmed and is such a gentle giant! We all dote on him!" 

---Rebekah N. Bonney Lake, WA

 

"Maple and Peanut are getting so big - they are starting to look like grown up cats!  They are still doing great and are so sweet with us and with each other." 

 

They love to play with toy mice, look out our big window, and take naps near/on people. 
We love them." 

---Lauren B., Kent, WA

           Gracie at 1 1/2 years old.
 

  

"Pepper is doing great! He’s a big, beautiful, friendly boy. He loves playing fetch with his rabbit fur mice, and he’s fascinated with water. He’s also very confident. We recently had the tile/carpets cleaned, and the cleaning tech had to ask us to come get the cat because he wanted to be in the middle of everything! Cats are supposed to be afraid of vacuums and strangers, right!?!" 

 

"We've had Daisy for almost 4 months now and she is a blast!  She is so snuggly and curious about everything! She is definitely mischievous and gets into things she knows she is not supposed to.

She is most likely sleeping on one of us or chasing her toy ball around our house." 

---Ally H., Puyallup, WA

 

"Naruto is getting his thicker winter coat...he's so fluffy! He's up to a little over 10 pounds (he's now about 7.5 months old)...he's definitely a big fan of eating, but we are making sure that he is staying trim and in-shape. :) 

 

He's just the sweetest boy! He follows me and my husband around all day, and he's never very far from his people."

---Holly C., Portland, OR 

 

"Dassie was going crazy this morning running around with the toy you gave her in her mouth, stopping periodically to maul it."

 

  

"I wanted to send some pictures of Mave. She's about 4 pounds now and SOOOO cute! She is the sweetest girl. She always needs to be by mom. When she's tired, she likes to cuddle up right next to me and has to have a paw on me.  She sleeps right next to me at night and sometimes I wake up with a paw on my face or her cuddled up next to me or on the pillow next to my head. I've also woken up twice to her sleeping IN MY HAND!"
 

 

"Mave LOVES car rides and loves to cuddle up in my clothes hamper or on the top of the back seat. She likes looking out the window or taking cat naps in the back! She's all I could have hoped for, I love her so much!" 

---Rylee P., Nowthen MN
 

 

"Two Siberians freely roam our home chasing feathers, sleeping on our bed, and supervising our every move. We have had Siberians for over fifteen years, and Alea is the most responsive breeder we have worked with. Her communication is excellent, she offers helpful cat health tips, and delivers baby kitten miracles at unexpected times.

 We picked up our tuxedo package, Jack Sparrow, aka Brio, in August 2019. Jack is a solid 13 pounds of intelligence, manners, and affection with a round face, golden eyes and a sleek, water-repellent coat. Occasionally, Jack forgets the house rules and jumps on the table to steal fresh blueberries; his nickname is the blueberry bandit."
 
 

"Fast Eddie, aka Baby Caleb, is a sobriety birthday miracle gift to me. When no Siberian kittens were available, God moved through Alea, and Eddie joined us in late 2020. Like his daddy, Eddie never has a bad day. He fearlessly explores, joyfully tosses play mice victims in the air, and actively teases Jack. Eddie greets us at the door and sleeps on our laps. Jack and Eddie are our best kitty friends, a delightful source of blessings and laughter."

--- Laura D., Chico, CA

 

"I thought you might enjoy a kitten update : ). Everyone is doing great! And they're getting big, fast!! Pudding has surpassed Luna in weight and size, and is growing into such a handsome boy! His fur and coloring is amazing, and he's very fluffy. Love those ear tufts!! Luna is still pretty kittenish-looking, has the softest fur, and is such a sweetie. She claimed my son as her person pretty early on, and will sleep on his lap when he's doing schoolwork at home : ). Pudding is sweet to everyone but prefers my daughter most, so it's been fun to watch both kids develop such deep relationships with them. And they are good friends, too! I interrupted Pudding grooming Luna in the photo of them in the chair, and you can get a sense of how much bigger he's gotten. I bet he'll get as big as Caleb, eventually ; )!  I just wanted to let you know they're both doing great and we can't imagine our home without them!" 
---Ashley A., Seattle, WA

 

"He's been so good! He’s super social and isn’t afraid of anything or anyone. 

He loves to watch videos on the computer and play tag with our little dog." 

---Trenton S., Fairbanks, AK

 

"Minu is the most perfect cat we could have ever asked for or even imagined! She is full of personality and loves being around people. Tons of people will say their cat acts like a dog however in this case it really is true. She plays fetch, runs to the door when we come home, and comes when we call her name (if for some reason she’s not following us around like a shadow)." 

 

"Her color has gotten deeper and more impressive the older she’s gotten. She’s a year old right now and sits at about 10lbs. Every time we take her into the vet she is the talk of the town because of her lovable personality and all the veterinary assistants say they want to get their own Siberian kitten! 

Minu has brightened up our lives and made us so happy!! We can’t thank Alea enough for giving us this little bundle of joy!" 

---Kelsey F., Spokane, WA

 

"He’s getting more and more handsome everyday.  His coat is so soft and thick!  He is very energetic and loving as well."
 
 

 Update at 7 months old:
 

"Everyday we are so blessed by his presence in our life. He has grown even more handsome and fun. He loves to play hide-and-seek and tag! Everyone who sees him loves him."

---Shannon T., Mountlake Terrace, WA

 
"Oh, my, I no longer even remember life without these two.  And they are thriving.  Our boy has grown so big, you just wouldn’t believe it. He plays well with his sister most of the time, but can get quite rough... as can she! 

With Andrew and me they are as sweet as anyone could wish for.  They usually eat all their food, and they don’t scratch the furniture, but their toys are everywhere.  They both love laying on keyboards, so I’m surprised they’re letting me write this note.

The reputation for Siberians not triggering cat allergies has proven to be true in our case— this is the first time Andrew (who has been diagnosed with severe cat allergies) has actually been able to develop a real relationship with our cats.  Mathilda, especially, adores being in his lap or beside him in bed."

 Update at 9 months old: 
 

"I’m happy to report that both of our dear kittens are thriving. They are happy and healthy, super affectionate, and I have no words for how much fun it is to watch the two of them together. 

They have brought indescribable joy to our household.  Oh, and their glorious tails are the talk of our neighborhood.

Yup, they most definitely would have been the pair I would have chosen. . . and I’d do it again, and again."

---Cilla R., Lacey, WA 

 

"Vivy is doing great! We have found her favorite kibble and soft food. She has put on tons of weight, and she is consistently using the litter box, yay!  She and the other kitty have been getting along great as well! 
It's adorable to see her chase her brother around.

  

She does these adorable little chirps and mews more often then long meows, so she has been given the nickname 'meep meep'.  Here's some recent pics of her.  We have also found she LOVES our laps when we sit cross-legged." 

---Lora R., Edmonds WA

 

"Thought you would like to see some pics of our handsome boy."

 

"He steals everyone's heart he comes in contact with. 

He’s very lovable and sweet natured."

---Jennifer D., Edmonds, WA 

 

"She is amazing! 
She is the sweetest kitten! 
She loves to play and snuggle!

Scout is the best companion!!" 

---Ainsley J., Bothell, WA 

 

"She’s doing fantastic! She’s bonded with our old cat and us

 

- Spends most of the night curled up under somebody’s chin." 

---Jennie S., Seattle, WA 

  

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for literally everything. You have changed our lives for the better and Suede has been such a positive influence for us all.

 

"Just checking in to share some
sweet pictures of Yoel.

He has really blossomed and is a sweet rambunctious boy who is completely enamored with Tucker (his canine brother).

 

…and we love him just as much."

"He's a funny boy and so sweet!"

---Amanda A.., Everett, WA

 
 
 

At 1 year old:

 
"These guys are absolutely wonderful and I adore them both, so does Marc. 
Suki (the dog) has even livened up since they have been in our house!"
 

"They are together most of the time. 
In trouble and in sleep!  We love it!"
 

Update at 9 months old: 
 

"My boys at 9 months…11#s.  These boys are so wonderful.  So very loved in this house."

"They’re having a blast on the Juggernaut set up."

---Chelain S., Gig Harbor, WA 

 

The 2nd day in new home:

"Atasha has been a sweet, confident cat who's good with children. My 8 year old daughter says she is a sweet, intelligent, positive cat. She wants us all to pet her at the same time while purring with her exposed belly. She lets us touch her belly and we can carry her already. 

Thank you for choosing us for Atasha. She is such a great addition to our family. She is a testament to your breeding program." 

 

"It's been a month since Atasha joined our family. She waits for my son every morning. They have their own special greeting of Atasha booping his hand. My daughter is her playmate. She chirps when she sees my daughter. They love playing with wand toys with her. Atasha allows us to carry her, and she sleeps on the foot of my daughter's bed. 

She let us cut her nails without a fuss. She is so very well-behaved. The kids are so happy to have her and I am so thankful to you for raising a gentle, loving and well-disciplined kitty." 

---Rachelle G., Gig Harbor, WA

  

"I can't believe how much has changed since she came home! She sleeps with me every night and greets me every morning. Whenever we make eye contact, she purrs and comes to cuddle with me.

She loves playing with balls and springs, and she makes the cutest chirping sounds. I gave her a Chinese name, and she learned it very quickly! She is such a smart little ball of fur." 
---S.Z., Bellevue, WA

 

"We are celebrating Flair’s 1st birthday today! We’ve named her Birdy (after former Seattle Storm star Sue Bird) and she is an amazing kitten! 

She is incredibly happy, sweet, and comfortable with people. She also LOVES my golden retriever, Bobby, who also adores her! 

  

Thank you so much for raising this beautiful creature. She is truly one of a kind!"

---John E., Seattle, WA
