Frequently Asked Questions
🐾 Can I reserve a kitten?
Yes, you can. To reserve a kitten, we require a non-refundable $200 deposit via cash, Venmo, or Zelle. This amount will be applied to the final purchase price. Your kitten is officially reserved once the deposit is received.

🐾 What is considered a “pet kitten”?
A pet kitten is sold without breeding rights. If you'd like, we can provide TICA registration papers upon request—after we receive proof that the kitten has been altered (a copy of vet records showing spay/neuter).
🔗 TICA Registration Info
🐾 At what age can the kitten come home?
Our Siberian kittens are ready to join their new homes between 8 to 12 weeks of age.
Requirements:
-
Spaying by 7 months (females) or neutering by 6–8 months (males)
-
Routine veterinary care
-
Indoor-only living (no unsupervised outdoor access)
🐾 Do you choose who gets a kitten?
Yes. We reserve the right to approve or decline a potential adopter. After submitting your adoption form, we will reach out to you.
Please don’t take it personally — our goal is to place kittens only in safe, responsible, and loving homes.
🐾 What comes with my kitten?
Every kitten is:
-
Examined by a licensed vet
-
Vaccinated with age-appropriate shots
-
Litter-trained
-
Socialized in a family environment
You’ll also receive a checklist and care guide to help you prepare.
🐾 Is there a health guarantee?
Yes. Every kitten from Siberian Hunter comes with a 1-year written health guarantee. All terms are outlined in the contract provided at the time of purchase.
🐾 What should I prepare before the kitten arrives?
Checklist:
-
Litter box, litter, and scoop
-
Scratching post and toys
-
Cat tree or climbing shelves
-
Quality kitten food (we’ll tell you the brand)
-
A quiet room for the first few days
🐾 What should I expect on the first day?
Your kitten might:
-
Hide
-
Avoid food temporarily
-
Take time to trust you
Start in a quiet room with essentials. Delay introducing other pets until your vet has completed the first health check. Go slow and gentle.
🐾 How should I transport my kitten?
Always use a cat carrier. Choose one that will fit them when they’re fully grown.
Never let a kitten roam loose in a vehicle — it’s dangerous.
🐾 When should I take my kitten to the vet?
You must visit your vet within 3 business days of adoption to validate the health guarantee.
Bring the provided medical records.
Your vet will plan the next shots (around 16 weeks).
🐾 Can I switch my kitten’s food?
Not immediately. Sudden changes may cause diarrhea.
If you want to change later, transition slowly:
25% new / 75% old → 50/50 → 75/25 → 100% new.
🐾 Where should the kitten sleep at night?
It’s up to you — but we don’t recommend your bed, at least early on.
Kittens are small and could be injured during sleep. Create a cozy sleeping spot nearby.
🐾 Are household plants dangerous?
Some are toxic to cats.
Check your plants on the ASPCA site:
🔗 ASPCA Toxic & Non-Toxic Plant List
Emergency line: (888) 426-4435
🐾 Can I adopt two kittens?
Yes — and we encourage it!
We offer a discount for bonded pairs. Two kittens adjust better and stay socially balanced.
🐾 Can I refer a friend?
Absolutely. If someone adopts a kitten because of your referral, we’ll send you a $200 gift card two months after the adoption.
🐾 How can I train my kitten?
Siberians are smart and dog-like.
Start at 3+ months.
-
Clap twice and say “No!” to correct behavior
-
Spray water as backup (if needed)
-
Repeat 10–20 times. Eventually, just clapping works!
🐾 Can I travel without my kitten?
Yes — for short periods.
-
Use an IP camera
-
Ensure constant access to water
-
Ask someone to check in daily
🐾 Should I feed only canned food?
Not recommended.
Siberians thrive on a balanced diet — mix of wet and dry food.
Dry food is practical for travel and independent feeding.
🐾 How often will I receive updates?
We usually post photos at 4 and 6 weeks of age.
Sometimes more often if time allows.
