Frequently Asked Questions
Are Siberians really hypoallergenic?
Yes, these produce less Fel d 1 protein, which is more tolerable for allergy sufferers, but not 100% hypoallergenic.
Do Siberian cats get along with children and pets?
Absolutely! They are gentle, patient and sociable, ideal family pets.
How much grooming do they need?
2 – 3 brushing a week are great, except during shedding season, which requires daily care.
Should they be kept indoors or outdoors?
Indoors is safest. In urban or tropical areas, being outdoors can expose them to predators or diseases.
