History
The Siberian Cat Club for the UK was founded on the 23 rd March 2002 by a handful of friends interested in bringing Siberian cats to the UK. 2002 was an exciting year with the first Siberians entering quarantine facilities in the UK in January and February and many more arriving later in the year on pets' passports.
Since the the Siberian cat has become increasingly popular as more and more people fall in love with its gorgeous looks and its loyal, fun loving personality.
We have a good number of cats imported from various countries including Russia, USA, Finland, France, Italy and Germany. These cats have been chosen for type, health and compatibility and therefore form a good foundation for a healthy gene pool. Between the various registered club breeders we are now in a position to breed almost all of the recognised colours, including solid white. There have been numerous litters of kittens born in the UK over the last few years, some of which have gone on to have kittens and grand-kittens of their own! There is at the present time in excess of a dozen Siberian cats, in various countries, waiting for their pet's passports to come into the UK, this will introduce new lines and keep the gene pool as diverse as possible.
The Siberian Cat Club was granted our full affiliation to the GCCF in October 2009. We have a healthy membership representing a large proprtion of the Siberian breeders and pet owners in the UK.
