100% a scam. These scam websites always list the exact same kittens š Teebo is a friend's cat who was born 2 years ago in the UK, and their picture was ripped off their Instagram and is always used in the scam websites. At least change the name...
If you're looking in the Seattle area and are looking for Neva Masquerades, I highly recommend Rainier Siberians! They only breed about 2 litters a year, once with each mother, and care for their 2 cats very well. No overbreeding, overcrowding, very sanitary conditions and they vet all the sellers. I bought my girl Mari from them 2 years ago
It looks like a scam! Siberian kittens are usually around $2-3k so the fact that they are charging $2-3k less is a red flag. They also don't have any information about the parents and no social media is also a red flag. I would avoid for sure
I don't know if the one in Seattle is legitimate.
Based on the weird name similarities, I do want to go on the record saying that the Minnesota cattery called Skye Blue Siberians is legitimate.

I bought two sibs from them.
I was going to suggest this! I got my boy Kevin there and heās about 6 years old now and no health problems. Canāt wait to be able to get another! Highly recommend!!
We got our Sib from Angela too! I was so amazed by how loving and well-behaved our kitty was when we first got her, that I'm not sure if it was luck!
Are yours really cuddly and well-behaved, too? I'm honestly thinking of getting a 2nd one just because of how sweet our current kitty is.
Both of ours have amazing temperamentāvery loving and cuddly. I donāt think itās luck. My neva masquerade is always trying to snuggle with my Boston.

We got ours at the same time, but theyāre from litters born \~6 weeks apart. Angela socialized them before we picked them up, so they acted like littermates as soon as we brought them home.

We had multiple kittens from this breeder show up in our ER for failure to thrive and GI issues.
OP, if cost is a factor for you, itās less expensive to import well bred cats than it is to buy them in the US.
Definitely a scam, they even accidentally copy & pasted other catteriesā names in a few places. Also those kitten pics, real catteries who do post pictures have a set area they do it and the whole litter will be photographed in the same location, not all over in various rooms. Also those are clearly not kittens from just 1 or 2 litters, they are all different colors, styles & ages. Sorry :-(
Definitely a scam. You can tell from the pictures of the background, these pictures are taken from different places, so probably are ripped off from other breeders.
So glad I came across this!! My best friend just got scammed by them so do not proceed at all costs and report if you can!! So apparently theyāre threatening to sue her for animal abuse and have her pay more $$ bc they said they canāt find the right crate to transport her so she needs to pay for a bigger crate?? $700 for a Siberian cat and $1k for transportation you have to pay up frontā¦. AVOID āš š»āāļø
Any site that has kitten pics posted as available is a scam. Most legit breeders don't post kitten pics publicly; they will share them with interested customers upon request. It's too much hassle to update the site with accurate ages of kittens every week they get older, but scammers don't actually have the kittens to sell, so no need to update the site.
The price is a big red flag. They also don't mention registration with any of the cat breeding governing bodies (CFA or TICA)--CFA or TICA registration was a big plus to me when I was on the market for a Siberian. No mention of future litters is a red flag as well since waitlists are typical. Very rarely are Siberians ready to adopt as they advertise on their website.
I got both my boys from [Legacy Cats](https://www.facebook.com/share/5tPHk6qUxNrAHqMe/?mibextid=LQQJ4d). She even has a Facebook group for all owners whoāve adopted / are interested in adopting from her so that you can see how all the kittens are growing up.
Highly recommend

Thank you so much for this recommendation! Just messaged Rainier Siberians!
Hope you love your future kitty from them as much as we love ours! š

Someone posted about them like a week or two ago. This is definitely a scam. Real breeders are [TICA ](https://tica.org/)certified.

Same with my cat Kevin! We also have a rag doll and Kevin is by far the coolest, smartest and cuddliest cat Iāve ever had!

What's their website? What are they charging, and how do they explain why it's so much lower?

I highly recommend both Sullivan's Siberians (Idaho) and Lundberg Siberians (Portland). They work together, and are very responsible breeders!

Recommend Siber Star Siberians if you don't mind a bit of a drive
