Question 1

What colours are Siberian cats?

Accepted Answer

The Siberian cat has a rich, varied and spectacular coat, reflecting the genetic diversity of the breed. All colours are accepted by the standard, with the exception of chocolate, lilac, cinnamon and fawn, which are not present in the genetic heritage of the traditional Siberian.

🎨 Classic colours (traditional Siberian)

The Siberian comes in a wide range of plain or combined colours:
 • Black (brown), blue, red, cream, tortoiseshell (tortie)
 • Tabby: classic, mackerel, spotted or ticked
 • With or without white (gloves, medallion, variegations)

❄️ The Neva Masquerade variety (colourpoint)
The Neva Masquerade is the colourpoint version of the Siberian, i.e. with coloured extremities (face, ears, legs, tail), like the Siamese. The eyes are always blue, from clear to intense sapphire.

Available colours in Neva Masquerade include :
 • Seal point (dark brown), blue point, red point, cream point
 • Tortie point and tabby point
 • And sometimes with white (seal tabby & white point, for example)

At the Neva Star Cattery, we breed all varieties of Siberian cat, traditional and Neva Masquerade, offering a wide range of colours: seal tabby point, blue tabby point, red point, as well as rare and particularly prized all-white kittens.

Question 2

What is the character of a Siberian Neva Masquerade?

Accepted Answer

The Siberian Neva Masquerade, a colourpoint variety of the Siberian cat, captivates not only with its majestic beauty, but also with its exceptional character.

🐾 A cat with a balanced temperament

The Siberian is known for its stable, gentle and intelligent character. It adapts very well to family life, including in the presence of children or other animals. It is both affectionate without being intrusive, and capable of independence when it wants to be.

💬 Sociable and close to people

It forges very strong bonds with its humans. The Neva Masquerade likes to follow its masters everywhere, takes part in the life of the home and seeks contact, often meowing softly to "chat". He has difficulty tolerating prolonged solitude and appreciates company, even that of another cat.

🎯 Intelligent and playful

This is a curious, clever and playful cat, who learns quickly and loves games involving interaction or reflection. They're often keen on stimulating activities: intelligence games, runs, toy hunts, etc.

🌿 Naturally hardy and active

Originally from the Siberian forest, these dogs can be lively, with a taste for adventure. It loves to climb, observe and explore, especially if it has access to a secure area (balcony, garden, enclosure).

At the Neva Star cattery, we pay particular attention to socialising kittens from an early age. The result: cats that are at ease in their paws, curious, affectionate and perfectly suited to family life.
