Oriental cat catteries in Moscow and St. Petersburg

Acquiring an unusual kitten of a rare breed is difficult: pet stores rarely offer truly purebred specimens with a proven pedigree and proven origin. If you're looking for a truly rare feline, contact an oriental cat breeder, and a sweet, large-eared animal will delight you every day.

Who are oriental cats?

A distinctive feature of Oriental cats is their disproportionately large ears, which attract considerable attention. This breed is closely related to the Siamese cat. Adults are medium-sized and have a slender, long body. The paws are graceful and have oval pads. The muzzle is pointed, somewhat resembling a wedge. The long, thin tail also tapers to a point. The coat is short and glossy, and can come in any color, with eyes typically green.

Owners of Oriental cats report that this breed is gentle and friendly, and also easy to train. They enjoy talking with their owners and do not tolerate prolonged loneliness.

Oriental cats are easy to care for. They don't require bathing; simply wipe dust from their short, neat fur with a damp towel. Feeding them is simple: as with other breeds, a balanced diet is key. Preventative vaccinations are given at the cattery during kittenhood before the kittens are transferred to their new owners.

A single cat gives birth to 2 to 6 kittens, which are ready for new homes at 12 weeks of age. The average price for a purebred furball ranges from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles.

What is a nursery?

An oriental cat breeder is a homey, cozy place where animals and their offspring can live comfortably. Often, an ordinary apartment is converted into a breeding facility for rare cat breeds. Modern breeders don't use cages or enclosures, nor do they employ hired staff.

An Oriental cattery typically houses several adult cats, each providing a permanent litter. Kittens are raised until 12 weeks old, often with their mother. They receive all preventative vaccinations and veterinary checkups.

Many catteries offer a "reserve" option for kittens. This means that prospective owners can come to the cattery at 1-2 months of age and choose a male or female kitten. Attentive breeders care for their kittens and maintain contact with the new owners, providing necessary care and maintenance recommendations.

When purchasing a kitten from a foster home, whether with or without breeding rights, pedigree documents confirming the animal's breeding status are included. Animals intended for breeding purposes are more expensive.

A kitten with a pedigree is a guarantee of purchasing a truly rare purebred animal. All Moscow and St. Petersburg catteries value their reputations, breeding beautiful purebred cats in compliance with all veterinary requirements and providing the necessary documentation to future owners.

How to choose the right nursery

Breeders of pedigree cats carefully select the source of their purchase. To identify a truly reputable Oriental cattery, pay attention to a few things:

• The owner of the kittens invites you to see and interact with all the animals before making a purchase;
• the organization has been in existence for a long time and has all the necessary certificates for breeding pedigree cats;
• All animals undergo preventive examination and are vaccinated on time;
• the breeder will provide you with expert advice on how to care for your “little bundle of joy”;
• Pay attention to the reviews of the chosen nursery.

Once you find an oriental cat cattery that meets all your requirements, you can confidently reserve or purchase kittens.

Oriental cat catteries in Moscow

It's easiest to find suitable Oriental cat breeders in large cities. In Moscow, for example, there are several breeders who regularly sell kittens with all the necessary paperwork and veterinary certificates.

All of the listed catteries have mandatory certificates for breeding this rare cat breed. The parents of the Oriental kittens are titled and have an extensive pedigree, which is automatically passed on to the kittens. Animals are available for adoption from 12 weeks of age, and it is possible to reserve your favorite pet.

Oriental cat catteries in St. Petersburg

The second most important city in Russia is St. Petersburg, where there are also many professional oriental cat catteries with varying prices for offspring depending on color and age.

The listed Oriental cat breeders provide photos of the kittens' parents and the offspring on their websites. By making arrangements with the owner, you can visit them in advance and view all the animals to choose your favorite pet. A purchase agreement is drawn up for each animal, and the breeders also offer ongoing support to the kittens' new owners in caring for and nurturing their Oriental cats.

How to choose a kitten

Choosing a pet wisely is essential to finding one that will become an irreplaceable companion. There are several considerations when choosing rare kitten breeds:

• You can look at a kitten from the 5th week of life: at this age, you can pick up the animal and interact with it;
• Check for a veterinary card, preferably an international one, so you can even travel around the world without parting with your beloved cat;
• Look at the animal's activity: a depressed state and passive behavior at the age of 14-16 weeks indicates poor health of the baby.

All other selection criteria relate solely to personal preferences regarding color and purpose of purchase. Pets intended for exclusive use in your home or apartment, without breeding rights, are less expensive than kittens intended for subsequent breeding.
