Welcome to SRI
The Siberian cat is one of the most endearing cat breeds. Siberians are intelligent, friendly, curious, humorous, easily trained and very loving. They come to us from Russia and are reported to be one of the oldest breeds of cats. They have beautiful thick coats, impressive muscular bodies, and an over-all attractive appearance. They look like a regular furry kitty, yet we have shown much of the breed are also low in feline allergens!
We at Siberian Research love the Siberian Cat and have devoted much of our free time to keeping this purebred cat healthy. We offer support to breeders making decisions on which cats to use in breeding programs, to pet seekers as they look for the perfect kitten and to allergic individuals seeking a Siberian for their low allergy qualities.
We are especially interested in the hypoallergenic qualities of the Siberian, and work with several laboratory tests to determine the level of Fel d1 protein in the Siberian’s saliva and fur. Identifying cats with naturally low levels helps reduce guesswork in selecting kittens.
