RE: BACKYARD BREEDERS/PET STORES/KITTY MILLS ***These are individuals or even "companies" who may advertise not only in local papers but also unfortunately more and more on the internet as well, to sell Siamese cats and kittens or supply large pet stores with supposedly "purebred registered cats." Beware of non legitimate registries! There are 2 well promoted organizations I know of that not only do not require a multi-generation purebred pedigree, but they also only require 3 photos to get "registered" with their organizations! Hardly proof that you are getting a purebred Siamese much less a Traditional or Classic Meezer!

Back yard breeders/kitty mills tend to sell their kittens:

1. At too young an age-selling kittens under 8 weeks without the mother going with him or her is illegal in many states!

2. Sell their Siamese kittens with no papers and/or have little to no knowledge of the pedigrees behind their kittens.

3. Sell their Siamese kittens with either no shots at all, or, only after the first of the 3 required sets of kitten shots leaving the kitten with no immunity to common cat diseases,(kittens do not acquire immunity until after the 3rd set of shots!)

4. If sold at 16 weeks or older, BYB's most likely won't sell their Siamese kittens with their rabies vaccination either(mandated by most if not all states by the way)

5. Backyard breeders also tend to feed cheap cat food, regardless of the nutritional cost to their kittens, simply to increase their "profit margin"...and so on.

*** The next time you go to get food for your Siamese cats, please check the labels of both dry and canned cat food and see what the main ingredients are, which tend to be the first 5 ingredients listed. Cats are obligate carnivores, and you do not want to see grains listed in the first few positions of the food label-and when a cat food contains grains, as many still do, there are certain grains(and other ingredients) that should be avoided...discussing nutrition with many veterinarians is not always a good idea as they often earn commissions as dealers for one pet food company in particular, that will remain nameless here, but is NOT recommended by breeders of any reputation or longevity that I know of. The health and longevity of your new kitten can be positively or adversely affected by the quality of food you choose to provide for them. Please do not be penny wise and dollar foolish! It may save you some heartbreak down the road! So please choose the highest quality holistic or natural cat food you can for your beloved Siamese!:)

 ***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 one's kittens to the vet for regular 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" breeding Siamese cats. Siamese cat litters vary in size, there can be health problems with the queen and or kittens which have to be addressed and attended to, etc. Please contact Siamese rescue or your local Humane Society if your budget is limited.

SHIPPING AVAILABLE FOR WEARESIAMESE CATTERY BRED TRADITIONAL AND CLASSIC SIAMESE CATS & SIAMESE KITTENS

 *** I prefer new owners 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 actual cost of shipping WeAreSiamese bred kittens will vary due to the airline used, age/weight of the kitten, the number of Siamese kittens being shipped, and if the kittens are to be shipped internationally.

***I will not ship any WeAreSiamese Cattery bred Siamese kitten until he or she has had at least 2 of the 3 required sets of kitten shots and preferably not until after they have had all their kitten vaccinations, as they do not reach maximum immunity for some time after their third set of shots(given at at ~ 14-16 weeks old.)

*** For those Siamese kitten buyers who may be interested in acquiring 2 Siamese kittens, they can be shipped together in one crate until they are about 6 months old, saving you the extra shipping cost that would be incurred if bought at different times. The older a kitten is before being shipped, the better in my opinion. My Applehead, Classic and Traditional Siamese kittens need time for their vaccines to become effective. Plus, the more socialization a kitten has before going to his or her forever home, the better!

***Shipping fees charged by WeAreSiamese Cattery for USA and Canada destinations: 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.(USA destinations only.) I can not give estimates for international shipping here due to import/airline/shpping company fees and quarantine requirements of the receiving country,etc. The air portion(USA) can sometimes be paid at pickup, but all fees must be paid in advance before I will take the kitten to the vet for required documentation for those Siamese kittens being shipped by air. Please review my services page for more information on shipping and other services offered.

 *** CFA requires an 8 generation pedigree in order for a cat to be registered with their organization. Showing does not per se make one a reputable breeder by the way-a lot of pedigree research, limited line breeding, quality breeding stock and litters over a long period of time to establish credibility, and of course producing quality, healthy cats with longevity, does! I breed Traditional Siamese cats first and foremost because the Applehead type Siamese is the breed I grew up with and have loved all my life. I am trying to preserve and improve the rare CFA registered Traditional Siamese cat for future cat lovers to be able to enjoy and love as I always have and always will :) I breed for quality NOT quantity!!

  PRICES OF WEARESIAMESE CATTERY BRED SIAMESE CATS & SIAMESE KITTENS

*** WeAreSiamese Cattery Traditional Applehead Siamese kittens are sold with a spay/neuter agreement. I do NOT sell kittens with breeding rights! Veterinary costs ALONE per kitten are over $150.00 (series of 3 sets of shots at ~8-9, 12, and 16 weeks of age, plus their rabies vaccination and wormings). In addition to the veterinary costs, some of the costs in raising a litter of quality CFA registered Traditional Applehead Siamese kittens include: the cost of quality natural/holistic cat food, the cost of premium cat litter, the cost of advertising in Cat magazines as well as on the internet, the cost of cat toys, cat furniture, cat registrations & membership fees, the time needed(and willingly spent I might add) to properly socialize each kitten, etc. This is NOT an inexpensive endeavor!
