*** It is the beauty, playfulness, loyalty, intelligence and affectionate, loving nature of Traditional Applehead, and Classic style Siamese cats, which primarily influenced my decision to breed to preserve the authentic, original types of Siamese cats as first seen when imported to the usa in the late 1800's. Both Classic and Applehead types of Siamese cats existed back then, and you can see them if you look at historical photographs and read documentation from that era. However, the extremely fine boned, bat eared show cat of today was a product of human intervention-an attempt to refine a breed that most people I speak to believe was already perfect as it originally looked! The exotically beautiful, intelligent, loving, playful, vocal, and, yes, sometimes even a bit demanding (I would prefer to say that they have their own opinion on how they want their Siamese world to be)Traditional Applehead and Classic type Siamese cats need to be preserved, and not changed to suit the whims of some breeders who think Siamese should look like and behave differently than they did back in Siam (today's Thailand) before introduction to the west in the later 1800's.... I have had Applehead/Traditional or Classic type Siamese cats all of my life, and will not own any other breed. I adored the Traditional, Old-Fashioned, Old-Style Applehead Siamese cats I grew up with,(as well as the Siamese cats I have owned since, of course), 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 glance over at them! 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 the 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 paper towels and t.p. etc.) 

SIAMESE CAT AND SIAMESE KITTEN COLORS AT WEARESIAMESE CATTERY

 *** Although I have owned the old-style, Traditional, Applehead type Siamese cat since I was a child, my breeding program really only began in 2001, and includes ACA, TCCI, CFA, and or TICA registered Applehead, Traditional, and Classic type Siamese cats and kittens only, and I only breed Seal Point, Chocolate Point, Blue Point and Lilac Point Siamese cats and kittens - I do not breed lynxpoint Siamese cats or kittens, tortiepoint Siamese cats or kittens, Oriental cats or kittens, nor do 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 USED BY WEARESIAMESE CATTERY

  *** We Are Siamese Cattery bred Traditional Siamese cats and kittens and Classic Siamese cats and kittens are proudly registered with one or more of the following recognized cat registries: ACA, CFA, TCCI, and/or TICA.  

PRICES OF WEARESIAMESE CATTERY BRED SIAMESE CATS & SIAMESE KITTENS

 *** WeAreSiamese Cattery Traditional Siamese, Classic Siamese,and Applehead Siamese cats and kittens are sold at private treaty, and are sold with a spay/neuter contract. WeAreSiamese Cattery Applehead Siamese, Classic Siamese, and Traditional Siamese cats or kittens with breeding rights are sold at significantly higher prices than pets, and to select Siamese cat breeders only. 

 *** My Traditional, Classic and Applehead Siamese cats and kittens with breeding rights are available to responsible, committed breeders only, and are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than kittens bought solely for pets. Veterinary costs ALONE per kitten are over $150.00 (3 sets of 5 in 1 shots at 8, 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 registered Siamese kittens include: the cost of my Siamese kittens' high quality diet ( I mostly feed my "Meezers" Royal Canin for Siamese cats, and Wellness natural/holistic cat food), the cost of cat litter, the cost of advertising in Cat Fancy magazine as well as on line, the cost of cat toys, cat furniture, cat registrations & membership fees, the time needed(and willingly spent I might add) to socialize each kitten, etc. This is NOT an inexpensive endeavor, and like with most things in life, you usually get what you pay for!

 *** I accept CASH payments ONLY, via PAYPAL, or U.S. postal money orders, via overnight mail only(not priority or first class). 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 ANY WeAreSiamese bred cat or kitten. 

 *** Most quality, reputable, well- established Traditional style Siamese, Applehead type Siamese, and Classic type Siamese cat breeders do ask ~ $600 and up 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, usually run anywhere from ~ $1000- $1500 per kitten these days, and that is IF they will even sell you a Siamese kitten with breeding rights! Because of their relative scarcity, as well as the time and effort involved in establishing quality, healthy bloodlines with good longevity, established reputable breeders are going to be very careful with whom they place their breeding quality Traditional Siamese kittens (i.e. those special Siamese kittens sold with breeding rights) as well, of course, as their pet quality Siamese cats and kittens,(which reputable breeders will always place without breeding rights and with a spay/neuter contract!) I have checked with quite a few breeders for myself, for future outcross breeding stock for my own breeding program recently and the prices I state on my website are based on conversations with the catteries I would get breeding stock from myself. You should now know why there is such a price difference between pet and breeding quality Traditional Siamese, Applehead Siamese, and Classic Siamese cats and kittens from reputable, established Traditional Applehead and classic Siamese cat breeders, as opposed to those kittens sold by "backyard breeders", who may advertise in local papers and sell kittens 1.) at too young an age(under 8weeks is illegal in many states.) 2.) with no papers. 3.) with no or only one of the 3 required sets of kitten shots(plus rabies vaccinations at 4 months of age.) 4.) feed cheap cat food.... etc.

 ***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" 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.

LIMITED SHIPPING OF WEARESIAMESE CATTERY BRED SIAMESE CATS & SIAMESE KITTENS

 *** 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.

AVAILABILITY OF CLASSIC SIAMESE KITTENS AS OF MAY, 2008

 *** Born April 2, 2008! A small (but mighty!) litter of 2 adorable classic Siamese kittens, out of my classic sealpoint Siamese queen Tonopah Natasha of WeAreSiamese, and by WeAreSiamese Dillon(a lilacpoint classic Siamese). 1 female,1 male. I prefer to place these kittens with either established breeders, or with people who have owned Siamese cats before, but currently do not have any other cats. I feel the female is going to be a chocolate point and the male is likely to be a bluepoint, but that can still change, so I cannot be held to that! I will let you know if their color changes again (as often happens at this age).


*** I am trying to become a preservationist breeder of Applehead/Traditional/Old-Style and Classic Siamese cats due to their overall superior health, beauty, temperament, (and, frankly, longevity) over most of the extreme wedgehead show type Siamese cats being bred today. *** SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!***
