Gladys is 6 years old today! Her successful integration into the gorilla family group is another great example of how a dedicated zoo care team provided the support she needed as an infant.

Keegan retired breeder, 5+ years. HCM screen negative, shots upto date, blood work great, recent dental surgery. On special diet. Looking for a low key home . Great personality.
My cell phone is missing and I am unable to call people. I apologize. Bear with me.
People have been asking about prices, etc. about the available kitties. So I am going to post them tomorrow. Please keep in mind that some of these kitties are retired breeders which will require a different integration process into a new owners home. I am only looking for dedicated owners who are willing to work with them.. They have been the foundation of my breeding program and as such I want them to live they retirement into loving homes where they will get the attention and love they so deserve. I have been so appreciative of them. The other kitties I have have been returned to me for events in their owner's lives that have been unfortunate and as such they still need a home that is going to make a commitment to them. If you are seriously interested then I ask you to ensure you are making a commitment that is for their life time. I am open to pm but also please know given my sister's health care and my work schedule I am not always available to respond as quickly.
It has been a long road with Jan's illness and also getting kitties ready for their forever homes, I only want those people who are really committed to taking older kitties into their homes. I have no kittens. I have available kitties that are from age 3.5 to 8 ready for their homes. I have one special needs boy ( retired breeder) who needs to have a strict diet of UR and yearly blood work. He recently had dental work and blood work which was great. He has also been screened for HCM which was negative. I have two girls that will be going in for their workup mid September ( younger girls) for their bloodwork and shots. They are currently with a lovely blue silver girl ( now 8) that had come back to us after two unfortunate placements. She is like their mommy and I'd love to have her go with them. There will be not charge for the blue silver. I want her to have a chance at a committed home. If you'd like to talk with me please pm on facebook or send me an e-mail Some of my older cats are former breeders who need special considerations about integration, children, etc.
I have received many wonderful pictures, etc. from the Keitta family. I also have several inquiries. I will return your messages as soon as I am able. Jan is back in the hospital so that is the main priority at this time. Thank you kindly for understanding.
Just wanted to thank all of our Keitta family and those that have followed us over these years. We have been very dedicated to this special breed. Unfortunately circumstances faced us about continuing to breed. So I made the hard and very sad decision to close the cattery. I will be having some adult kitties to place. You would have to pass a interview to determine placement
So only serious interest only. You can contact me through message here or [email protected]. Adults will not be available until summer. Again serious interest only
No babies are available. Once again thank you to our Keitta Family.
We have received the girls back tonight and working on getting them into a safe place to get familiar with smells, us, and noises. Katya is the braver of the two and Misha a bit more timid. Will keep you post as to how they are doing over the next week. If interested in these girls please contact us at [email protected] or on this page.
We are taking the two year old girls back to KeittaSiberian on this coming Wednesday. We consider this as a rescue from her previous owner. We will be evaluating these girls for placement and thus they will be available. For those that are interested in a 1 year old Siberian baby, please contact us.
Just want to announce that Keitta Siberians has not closed their cattery as it has been announced by one of our previous owners. We have taken a break from breeding this past season and will be breeding again in the spring. We will keep everyone posted. If you have any concerns regarding your kitten from us please contact us here on Keitta page or send a message to Jan or myself. Thank you for following us through the years. Jan's e-mail is [email protected] and mine is [email protected].
Happy New Years from Keitta. We have been on break. Updated information about mommies and daddies in the coming months.
Everyone in the way of Hurricane Matthew - Please Stay Safe!!! 😯
Serious inquiries only for these two girls who need to be rehomed due to their owner's health problem. They are 11 months old. They were born in October 2015. One girl out of Selenga Fajana and Selenga Eliseiko and other girl out of Keitta Siberian Noire ( parents Snowgum Poppy and Eliseiko) and mated with KatyeMcFurr Keegan. Exceptionally well taken care of by owner. Owner asking $850 for the two plus toys, cat trees, etc. They are spayed and upto date with shots. Parents are HCM negative. Girls must go together . We are assisting the owner to vet new owners so please PM Pat Johnston on Facebook or send an e-mail to [email protected]. Looking for a home on the East Coast within car transportation.
Greeting Keitta Siberian people who are interested in our kittens. We have had to taken a break from breeding. We are looking towards breeding this fall with some of our queens. Our kings will be Lakota and Raegnar.Lakota is a black smoke with high white and Raegnar is a black classic. We will also be retiring several of our queens this coming year so please look towards us placing them in their new homes. We will keep you posted about birthing. We do not sell kittens at holiday times. If you want your kitten spayed or neutered before coming home we can accomodate this towards the purchase price. All of our breeders are screened for HCM and have health records from our vet. We screen for families carefully and as such, please note we are careful about placement.
Dear Keitta Family, friends, and customers. This is Jan. I need to apologize to everyone for not keeping up with postings, and not getting back to people quickly, or at all, right now. These kittens deserve loving homes, and probably would have had them a lot sooner if I would have been feeling better. I am not one to post about how I am feeling or what is happening usually, but I feel since it has impacted our cattery, that I must. Pat works alot, and thus, I am left with the task of caring for the cats, website, page, etc most of the time. Pat interacts behind the scenes with her fellow breeders discussing issues of importance to the breed, and planning our breedings for this season (which are behind because of what I am about to write), and helps out where she can.
I have now for months been dealing with a degenerative knee that has prevented me from working, and using a cane to mobilize. I am on a narcotic for pain, as well as a high dose of anti-inflammatory medication. The narcotic leaves me spacy and unable to stay focused very well. This is another reason I am not working in some capacity. Also, I have had problems with being clinically depressed. Being on the narcotic obviously does not help the status of this. As consequence my focus on keeping up has been primarily with the direct care of the cats, and not with communicating with people. If you are not aware of how debilitating depression can be, you can read pretty much any information on the internet to find out. I am TRULY sorry that this has interfered with the functioning of our cattery. It may continue to impact me until I can have surgery on the knee so I can get off this pain medication. Hopefully this is sooner rather than later.
Currently, we have the two 6 month old boys available, plus Sassy, the split faced girl we planned on keeping to breed, and decided not to keep her because of her 'tortitude'. Since being spayed, she has become a big love, and her tortitude has calmed down greatly. She will make a wonderful companion for someone. We also have Keegan that we are trying to find a home for ONLY IN THE PITTSBURGH AREA. He is the classic red boy we retired early because of his urinary obstruction. He is doing great, but needs a lifelong special diet, and close monitoring to make sure everything is o.k. Thus the reason we want him in the area so I can be available to visit to check him out if necessary. I'll post separate photos of these kitties available.
Here are the final two kittens we have available from back in late October. We are scheduling them for neuter. The price remains the same except the price of neuter is now included for them. Jules Verne is the golden, however, Mr. Peanut has lightened up a lot as well. The other kitty playing? Momma Noire, who is just a big kitten herself ;)
Can any of our Keitta Siberian owners help out? Every amount helps out.

Hello Keitta family & friends. Website is up - mysteriously. I have had a HECK of a time with the new company that Yahoo! sold to to get things back up and running, and it seems, it may finally have ended up being a problem on THEIR end. After a software upgrade and reload of the ENTIRE site, and it still not working for awhile, I lost a LOT of hair from pulling it out!!! But, we are functional AGAIN! YEA! Also, Chubbs 2 went home today, and Miss Sassy has a home with one of our Keitta family members. Still two boys available, and I will be getting back to some of the recent contacts. Thanks for your enduring patience! ~Jan
Many positions of cats sleeping. So cute.

Here are the 3 boys available. 14 weeks old. I have been contacted by 3 people already, so they may already be spoken for. This is for those people to see to choose their baby! First two pictures are Chubbs the 2nd. The next 3 are Jules Verne. The final two photos are Mr. Peanut. All are brown classics (with Jules Verne being a warm brown/golden - he will continue to lighten in color as he gets bigger). All three are love bugs - and little imps!
From Siberia?
We make the winter look good!
Information that is important for those who are searching for a Siberian. Sharing from other Siberian Breeders who have supported this research on this breeder and also those that have assisted the process of dealing with unethical breeders.
****** PLEASE SHARE ******
CFA has updated their Suspension List and sadly it now includes a Siberian breeder - Dawn Campbell/Lutrall of Pendraig in Texas. I don't normally post this sort of thing, but I know some of the folks who have been affected and so it feels more personal.
In some cases we have non existent kittens sold (or at least it appears they don't), kittens sold to multiple people, claims of "abandonment" so she can resell even though the cats/kittens buyers had paid in full and were faced with delay after delay and then no response even to registered letters....the list goes on and on. The result is people losing thousands of dollars and of course this is just for those people who found each other and were able to work together.
So, be careful out there if you are looking for a Siberian. If you have also been affected by this breeder and are not on the list, you may PM me and I can provide the contact information for the right people with the registries.

We still have 3 wonderful boys available now for homing to a furever home. I've asked Jan to capture pictures when they are not so active to show everyone. They have great personalities and would love to be romping with a new family. They are 13 weeks now.
Updated information about this grooming tool. Beware.
This is the DAMAGE a FURminator can cause when improperly used. This tool will actually CUT COAT. So as many times as you drag this tool over your dog/cats fur it is actually cutting and like in this photo balding. Please use wisely or NOT AT ALL. Consult a professional groomer.
We still have some babies available from Noire's litter ( boys) and also some adult kitties. Please contact us if you are interested. We have a boy that needs to be rehomed and still remains at his families home. We are happy to discuss information about the babies and also the adult cats.
Important - why we always say to HIDE the feather wand. Siberians are SO smart to find it, and then you will need to buy another one. Put it in a drawer.
Funny story - Laegertha - out of our 2015 litter of Arwen & Lakota, was down stairs with run of the house for awhile as a kitten, with some of the others (Ragnar & Mystic). We had the feather toy out, played with it, and put it away in a typical spot - on top of some coat hooks in our pantry that have bags hanging on the hooks - grocery bags - plastic and cloth, and some random ones sometimes. Well, she saw where I put it, and it was about 5 minutes after I put it away I hear rooting around in the pantry, and big thump, and then Laegertha dragging the feather wand behind her into the livingroom. She was very proud of herself. We hid it somewhere else. But she had found OTHER wands hidden up there, and started to bring them all out. Had to finally hide them all in a cabinet. Siberians are too smart for their own britches!

Well, the website is still not up yet. Been a real pain in the rear right now. My apologies everyone while I try to work this out. - Jan
I am attempting to get our website back up and running. Yahoo sold out to a new company, and I've had to 'jump thru some hoops', including the most recent, which is totally reload the entire website onto the webhost. Hopefully it works and it will be available again in 24 hrs. For our new kitty parents, the section on Kitten Care is important for you!!! I'll let you know when we are 'live' for sure again.
We still have 3 little brown classic males that are available from Noire's litter if there is any interest. Some people passed to our spring litters because of timing, so we have the availability.
Update: Fajana's babies are ready to go home this weekend. Saturday afternoon will be pickup this time. I'll give earlier times to people coming from further distances. I'll touch base with each of you tomorrow.
Noire's babies will not be ready to go home until next weekend. They are 11 weeks old and need that extra week to grow.
All babies went for their vet health check on Wednesday - they were all so good! And then when we got home, they ran around like crazy little babies until they dropped for their naps. Sounded like little elephants running around crazy.
All babies are very healthy, and the vet staff ooo'ed & awww'd at them. We don't like to send home babies until they are 3 lbs, or very close to that. That is the determining factor in waiting for Noire's babies.
I'll be talking with all our new kitty parents very soon! -Jan

Not a great video (or pics- just learning what my phone can do), but Arwen's babies in motion.
Here is Ruslan enjoying his retirement with his puppy sister. So happy for our boy to have such a great home and family to call his own!
Jasmine and her babies.
Here is Poppy & her babies at about 10 hours old.
Please be advised - it is never good to let your kittens start smoking because it is VERY hard to quit [note: this is NOT one of our kittens - LOL!]
Raw video of the 3 week olds - and yes, they are Ruslan's brood! Talkers one and all.
This video SHOULD now work - do not know why the last video would no longer open. This video can also be found on You Tube under the channel 'rambonrse'.
A little early Christmas cheer...
Here he still is when the vet comes in to see him - only true Viktor fans will like these boring videos - ha ha!
Just to prove that Viktor totally owns the vet clinic - couldn't roam in the waiting area this day to cause the typical mayhem while visiting the staff
Here is Viktor in action - or really, just sitting pretty. For all of you Viktor fans...
