Our Cattery is located inside a lush garden with lots of trees and hanging baskets, ensuring that our cats have a stimulating environment and can live as naturally as possible. During the day the Queens and Youngsters run freely in our enclosed garden and are brought inside in the evenings.
The boys live in their own enclosures with plants and water fountains , as they cannot hang out with the girls for obvious reasons. Where possible we always try and put two boys together for company, bringing a younger one in with a mature male, but this only ends up working about half the time.
After getting our first Siberian kitten in 2010 and falling in love with her nature and character, we decided to import another one. Once the decision to import was taken, it was only a short step to importing two cats, and so the idea of breeding cats grew on us. We decided to convert my old art studio into a cattery, an area we had not found any good use for so far and it was perfect for this purpose. We planned for a maximum of 8-10 cats …
In November 2011 we built our first enclosure designed with a 4m walkway 3m above the ground to connect the enclosure to an inside room. Enclosure 2 followed a few months later with direct access from the inside cattery (known as a catio) and this became the favourite play area of the kittens.
Now that we were committed, enclosure 3 was built with a 5m walkway passing through enclosure 2 and half of the garden was enclosed with cat proof fencing. This gives our cats about 200m² of outside area with trees to climb and plenty of space to run. Enclosure 4 and a run followed, then came 5 & 6, leaving us with no more garden !
Our first breeding pair of Siberians came from the cattery Sventlanasibr in Canada at the end of 2011. Unfortunately the male was diagnosed with FIP and had to be put down 4 weeks after arriving, leaving our female Svetlanasibr Levkoshka (Cessi) without a mate. Luckily we found a 7 month old male called Elias in Germany from the cattery vom Hagedorn and these two cats became the foundation cats of ArtéKatz Siberians.
Elias became multiple Supreme Champion and sired almost 90 kittens until he was retired, but unfortunately died a few weeks after being neutered. Cessi also became Supreme Champion and had 4 litters before she was retired, living with us now as one of our pets.
