The Siberian is a natural breed from Russia’s cold forests and is considered a national treasure there.
Siberians have a thick triple coat, strong bodies, and great jumping ability. They are friendly, playful, and adaptable.
Care Tips
Brush weekly and more often during spring shedding. Some owners with mild allergies report fewer reactions, but no cat is truly hypoallergenic.
Fun Fact
Siberians can take up to five years to reach full maturity.
Is This Breed Right for You?
Every cat is an individual, so meet the cat before you decide. Think about your schedule, grooming time, other pets, and children in the home. Breed rescues and Ohio shelters often have purebred and mixed breed cats waiting for homes, and adult cats come with personalities you can see right away.
Health Basics
Schedule a checkup soon after adoption, keep vaccines and parasite prevention current, and ask your veterinarian about health issues common to the breed. Responsible breeders should share health screening results and welcome your questions.
