*** It is the beauty, playfulness, loyalty, intelligence and affectionate, loving nature of Traditional, Applehead, and Classic type Siamese cats, which have contributed to my decision to breed the exotically beautiful, intelligent,loving, playful,(and, yes, sometimes even a bit demanding), Siamese cat! I have had Applehead,Traditional or Classic type Siamese cats all of my life, and will not own any other breed. I miss the Traditional, Old-Fashioned, Old-Style Applehead Siamese cats I grew up with, as well as the Siamese cats I have owned since, and I always will.
**** Traditional, Applehead, and Classic Siamese cats love to play, will fetch and retrieve, and are always looking to get into some sort of mischief(I say that affectionately). They love to converse, and will sometimes start a chat if you so much as look at them in their face! If you are looking for an intelligent, active, talkative, playful, and loving companion, then the Siamese cat is the breed for you! Some people say they are demanding, but I think they are simply the smartest of the domesticated cats, and they will let you know when things are right or wrong in their Siamese world. They are not always immediately friendly to new people, so please allow sufficient time for your new Siamese cat or kitten to adjust to new people, as one can not force a Siamese cat to like someone, or, frankly, force them to do anything that is not already in their Siamese mind to do(usually regarding things you would rather they don't do, such as climb curtains, open cabinets, pull down papertowels and t.p. etc.)
SIAMESE CAT AND SIAMESE KITTEN COLORS AT WEARESIAMESE CATTERY
*** Although I have owned the old-stle, Traditional, Applehead type Siamese cat since I was a child, my breeding program really only began in 2001, and includes classic Siamese cats and kittensas well as Appleahead, Traditional type Siamese cats and kittens, and I breed Siamese cats and kittens in Seal Point, Chocolate Point, Blue Point and Lilac Point colors ONLY- I do not breed lynxpoint Siamese cats or kittens, tortiepoint Siamese cats or kittens, Oriental cats or kittens, nordo I breed Colorpoint Shorthairs, because, as a purist breeder,(as are members of several organizations I belong to) not only do I not generally care for their appearance(in the case of tortiepoints and orientals), I also do not believe they are truely purebred cats, due to the way the breeds themselves came into existence (i.e. crossed with tabbies and some other type domesticated cats), and so therefore I will not breed them! WeAreSiamese cattery breeds registered Traditional, Classic,and Old-Fashioned/Applehead type registered Siamese cats only.
CAT REGISTRIES
*** We Are Siamese Cattery bred Traditional and Classic Siamese cats and kittens are proudly registered with one or more of the following recognized cat registries: ACA and TCA. I have recently registered the name WeAreSiamese Cattery with CFA, TICA, and TCCI as well, so I expect to have litters registered in these organizations starting in 2008.
SIAMESE CAT AND KITTEN PRICES
*** WeAreSiamese Cattery Traditional, Classic,and Applehead Siamese cat and kitten prices START at $500.00 and up for pet quality Siamese kittens, and are sold with a spay/neuter agreement. WeAreSiamese bred Applehead, Classic, and Traditional Siamese cats or kittens with breeding rights are sold at significantly higher prices than pets, and to select breeders only.
*** My Traditional, Classic and Applehead Siamese cats and kittens with breeding rights are available responsible breeders only, and are significantly more expensive than kittens bought solely for pets. Veterinary costs ALONE per kitten are $150.00+ (3 sets of 5 in 1 shots at 8, 12, and 16 weeks of age, plus their rabies vaccination), and does NOT include the cost of my Siamese kittens' high quality natural/holistic diet, the cost of cat litter, the cost of cat toys, cat furniture, cat registrations & membership fees, advertising, the time needed(and spent) to socialize each kitten, etc
*** I accept payments ONLY via PAYPAL, or U.S. postal money orders, via overnight mail only. Please add 3%($15.00 per each $500) to the price of a kitten to cover paypal service fees. A 50% NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is required to hold a cat or kitten.
*** Most quality breeders these days ask $500-$650 for pet quality kittens with no breeding rights. Breeding quality Traditional, Applehead, and Old-style Siamese kittens from well established and well known, reputable breeders, can cost as much as $1500 per kitten. I have checked with quite a few breeders for myself, for future outcross breeding stock for my own breeding program, to give you an idea of the difference in costs between pet and breeding quality Siamese cats and kittens.
***The costs involved in raising a healthy litter until they are ready for their forever homes, are numerous, and the only way one can make a "profit", imho, is if one feeds cheap, poor quality food, doesn't take their kittens to the vet for reguar exams, vaccinations, and wormings, doesn't treat one's kittens medically when necessary, and/or or takes shortcuts in general. It is difficult to break even much less make any sort of "profit". Siamese cat litters vary in size, there can be health problems with the queen and or kittens which have to be attended to,etc. Please contact Siamese rescue or your local Humane Society if your budget is limited.
SHIPPING
*** I prefer not to ship my Siamese as I feel it is better for a new owner to come meet his or her new Siamese kitten or cat in person, and let the Siamese kitten or cat pick YOU out! Visitors to the cattery are asked to wash their hands before handling kittens and in between litters. If you have cats at home you will be asked to wear a smock when holding kittens. The minimum age to ship cats is 8-10 weeks and older, depending on the airline. 2 Kittens can be shipped in one crate until 6 months old, I was told, the last time I inquired about this. The older a kitten is before being shipped, the better in my opinion. My Applehead, Classic and Traditional Siamese kittens need time for their innoculations to become effective, and the more socialization a kitten has before going to his or her forever home, the better! Shipping fees can be found on the services page, but please allow $400.00 give or take, for a shipping crate, health certificate, vet exam and for my personal expenses for transporting the kittens to the airport. The air portion can sometimes be paid at pickup but all other fees must be paid in advance before I will take the kitten to the vet for required documentation for those being shipped by air. Please review my services page for more information on shipping and other services offered.
