A journey inspired by love, dedication, and the magnificent Siberian cat
Our story began with a simple encounter that would change our lives forever. Years ago, we met our first Siberian cat at a friend's home, and we were immediately captivated by this magnificent breed. Not only was their beauty striking with that luxurious triple coat and those soulful eyes, but their personality was unlike any cat we had ever known. They were affectionate, dog-like in their loyalty, and incredibly intelligent.
What truly amazed us was learning about their hypoallergenic qualities. Having family members with cat allergies, we had always thought owning a cat was impossible. Discovering that Siberians produce significantly lower levels of the Fel d 1 protein opened up a world of possibilities. That moment sparked a passion that would eventually grow into Norvella Siberians.
At Norvella Siberians, we believe in quality over quantity. We are not a large commercial breeding operation, and we never want to be. Each of our cats is a beloved member of our family, living in our home and receiving individual attention and care every single day. This intimate approach allows us to truly know each cat's personality, quirks, and needs.
Our name, "Norvella," reflects our Nordic-inspired approach to breeding. Just as the Siberian cat originated in the forests of Russia and thrived in harsh, cold climates, we honor their natural heritage and robust constitution. We focus on preserving the breed's natural health, vitality, and temperament while adhering to the highest breeding standards.
We carefully select our breeding cats based on health, temperament, and adherence to breed standards. Every kitten born at Norvella receives exceptional care from day one, with proper socialization, veterinary attention, and abundant love.
Siberian cats are truly special. Their hypoallergenic qualities make them accessible to families who thought they could never own a cat. Studies have shown that about 75% of people with cat allergies have little to no reaction to Siberians due to their lower production of the Fel d 1 allergen. This unique characteristic has brought joy to countless families.
Beyond their hypoallergenic benefits, Siberians possess an extraordinary temperament. They are gentle, affectionate, and remarkably intelligent. Unlike many cat breeds, Siberians are known for their dog-like loyalty and social nature. They love being involved in family activities, enjoy playing fetch, and can even be trained to walk on a leash. They are patient with children, tolerant of other pets, and adapt wonderfully to various living situations.
Their physical beauty is undeniable - that magnificent triple coat, expressive eyes, and substantial, muscular build create a cat that is both elegant and impressive. But it's their personality that truly steals hearts.
Every kitten at Norvella Siberians is raised in the heart of our home. From the moment they are born, they are surrounded by love, attention, and the everyday sounds and activities of family life. This early socialization is crucial for developing well-adjusted, confident kittens who will thrive in their forever homes.
Our kittens experience regular handling, exposure to various household sounds, interaction with people of all ages, and plenty of playtime with their littermates. They learn proper social skills from their mother and siblings, which is why we keep our kittens until they are 10 weeks old. This extended time with their family ensures they are emotionally mature and ready for the transition to their new homes.
We provide a clean, safe, and enriching environment with plenty of toys, climbing structures, and cozy spots for naps. Our adult cats have access to both indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing them to express their natural behaviors while remaining safe and healthy.
When you adopt a kitten from Norvella Siberians, you're not just getting a pet - you're gaining a family member and joining our extended Norvella family. Our commitment to you and your kitten doesn't end when you take them home. We provide lifetime breeder support, always available to answer questions, offer advice, or simply celebrate your kitten's milestones with you.
We are dedicated to finding the perfect match for each kitten. We take time to get to know prospective families, understanding your lifestyle, experience with cats, and what you're looking for in a companion. This careful matching process ensures that both the kitten and the family are set up for a lifetime of happiness together.
Health is our top priority. Every kitten receives comprehensive veterinary care, including examinations, vaccinations, deworming, and health testing. They come with complete health records and our health guarantee. We stand behind every kitten we place.
We believe in transparency and education. We welcome questions, encourage visits (when possible), and provide extensive information about Siberian cat care, behavior, and health. Our goal is to ensure every family feels confident and prepared for life with their new Siberian companion.
