FAQ

Reserving a kitten from Rozhenitsa and SiberianLove Catteries is straightforward and designed to ensure the best possible match for both you and the kitten. Here are the step-by-step details:

1. Become a Member Start by filling out our membership application and paying the $50 non-refundable membership fee. This gives you immediate access to the private members’ area, which includes detailed health records, pedigrees, photos, allergen lab results, and more. Once you are a member, you can order fur samples separately for at-home allergy testing (additional cost applies).

2. Request a Reservation Browse the available kittens in the members’ area. Feel free to email us with any questions about a specific kitten, litter, parents, or how they might fit into your home — we encourage open communication before you commit. When you’re ready, submit your reservation request for a specific kitten. At that time, a $600 deposit will be required.

   • The deposit is applied toward the final price of the kitten.

   • It is non-refundable except in the following cases:

     • We (the breeder) determine the kitten is not the right match for your home, or

     • Two applicants request the same kitten. In that case, we will choose the most suitable home based on the application details. If both homes are equally suitable, priority goes to the applicant who submitted their application first. The non-selected applicant will receive a full refund of the $600 deposit.

3. Plan Relocation Let us know your plans: Will you pick up in person (we are located in Roseburg, Oregon), or do you need assistance with pet transport? Visit our Relocation page for recommended carriers, tips, and safe travel options (air, ground, or hand-delivery).

4. Prepare for Your New Friend Get your home ready! Visit our Getting Ready page for essential recommendations (supplies, litter setup, safe spaces, toys, etc.). We also have a helpful YouTube video that walks you through welcoming a Siberian kitten — perfect for practical advice on the first days, bonding, and settling in.

5. Final Steps and Pickup We look forward to meeting you if you’re picking up in person! If using pet transport, please let us know as soon as your kitten arrives safely. The remaining balance is due at pickup or prior to the kitten departing with the transport service.

All steps are clearly outlined in our reservation agreement. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.

We no longer maintain a formal waitlist at Rozhenitsa and SiberianLove Catteries. We use a first-come, first-served system for available kittens to keep things fair and straightforward.

Notifications are sent to both newsletter subscribers and members at the same time, but only members can submit reservation requests.

Kittens are often reserved quickly once announced, so getting notifications promptly is key:

We aim to be fully transparent about fees so you can make an informed decision.

• Membership application fee ($50, or $60 if bundled with fur samples) This fee is non-refundable and does not apply toward the total cost of the kitten. It grants you immediate access to the private members' area, where you can view detailed information on our breeding cats, including health records, allergen lab results (Fel d 1 levels from kittentesting.com / Indoor Biotechnologies), pedigrees, photos, and other exclusive content. This one-time payment covers the time and resources required to prepare and maintain this secure, personalized information for serious inquiries. Once approved and paid, access is lifetime/indefinite as our way of supporting ongoing education and connection, even if you decide not to reserve a kitten right away.

• Reservation deposit ($600) The deposit is non-refundable in most cases, as it secures your chosen kitten and is credited toward the final balance when the kitten goes home. However, the deposit is fully refundable if we (as the breeder) need to cancel your reservation. This could occur in rare situations such as:

• The kitten develops a health issue that disqualifies it from placement. We always prioritize the kitten's well-being.

• Unforeseen circumstances preventing us from fulfilling the reservation. In these cases, we will refund the full $600 promptly and work with you to explore other options if desired.

If you decide to withdraw your reservation for any other reason (change of mind, preference shift, etc.), the deposit will not be refunded. This helps us manage availability fairly for all waiting families.

All terms are clearly outlined in our reservation agreement before you submit the deposit. We're happy to answer any questions upfront. Email us anytime after becoming a member. Fill out our application here to get started and explore the members' area.

Non allergen tested kittens vary in price from $1800- $2200 depending on conformation, time of the year, demand and age. Price for each kitten available is listed individually and you will be able to see those once you are a member of this site.

An allergen tested kitten's price will be based on its specific allergen level as follows:

Allergen Scale and Pricing

1. Each kitten from Rozhenitsa and SiberianLove Catteries has a specific go-home date clearly listed on their individual details page in the members' area. This date is set based on the kitten's health, development, and any required testing or vet care. All kittens are fully weaned, eating solid food, litter-trained, socialized in our home environment, and examined by our vet before going home. We provide a vet exam sheet, vaccine records, and the code for the 30 free days of medical coverage from Trupanion at pickup or prior to transport. If you're considering a specific kitten, check their profile in the members' area for the exact go-home date and any notes. We're happy to discuss timing or coordinate pickup/transport once reserved. Become a member here to view current litters and details—we look forward to helping you welcome your Siberian home at the perfect time!

• Non-allergen-tested kittens These are typically ready to go home around 12 weeks of age, just a couple of days after their first comprehensive vet visit (which includes the initial FVRCP vaccine, microchip, and bill of health). We allow a 10-day pickup window starting on the listed go-home date for flexibility with your travel or scheduling.

• Allergen-tested kittens (with verified Fel d 1 levels via kittentesting.com / Indoor Biotechnologies) These kittens are held longer due to the testing timeline. Saliva sampling starts at 12 weeks of age at the earliest, finishes at 13 weeks at the earliest but delays are common, as we prioritize reliability of testing over speed. Mailing and lab processing will add another 1–2 weeks. So generally, allergen-tested kittens will be ready for placement between 15 and 18 weeks of age, depending on when results are finalized. Once we receive results, things can move quickly, so be ready if you are interested in one of those kittens.
