At any given time, most of our kittens are already reserved by families on our waitlist. We rarely have kittens immediately available without a wait. Families on our Priority Waitlist are given the first opportunity to reserve kittens when new litters open.
The Kittens tab on our website reflects current availability and reservation status.
Typical wait times vary based on timing and preferences, but most families should expect to join the waitlist and plan for a future litter. If you are looking for a kitten that is immediately available to take home, our program may not be the right fit.
Our kittens are priced at $2,500. Once you've selected a kitten and your reservation has been approved, a $500 deposit reserves that kitten for your family until pickup. The remaining balance is due when your kitten goes home, typically at 12 weeks of age.
We accept Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, Zelle, or another agreed upon method. If we meet in person, cash is accepted.
Delivery and shipping fees are not included in the purchase price and are calculated separately based on location and method.
We are located in Arnold, Missouri, just outside of St. Louis. Most families either pick up their kitten from our home cattery or arrange delivery.
We offer free delivery within approximately one hour of our location, covering much of the greater St. Louis area. Additional delivery options are available throughout the United States and are discussed in more detail below.
The first step is completing our kitten waitlist application, which takes approximately 10 minutes. It helps us get to know your family, understand your expectations, and determine whether a Siberian would be a good fit for your household.
We offer both a Free Waitlist and an optional Priority Waitlist. Priority families receive the first opportunity to reserve kittens from upcoming litters, while Free Waitlist families are notified of any remaining availability after Priority reservations are complete.
If you're interested in joining the Priority Waitlist, you can indicate that on your application. Once your application has been approved, we'll provide additional information about joining and submitting the $250 fee.

Once you've selected and been approved to reserve a kitten, we'll provide a digital purchase agreement that can be signed from your phone or computer.
The agreement outlines important details about your kitten's purchase, health guarantee, spay/neuter requirements, and our policies regarding returns and rehoming. We encourage families to review everything carefully and reach out with any questions before signing.
Great question, and one we welcome. We are proud to operate an ethical breeding program focused on health, temperament, and breed standards. Our goal is to raise healthy, well-socialized Siberian kittens that exemplify the Siberian breed in both type and personality.
We are a registered cattery with both the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA) and The International Cat Association (TICA), the two primary cat fancier associations in North America. We also regularly participate in CFA cat shows, where our cats have earned awards and titles, reflecting our commitment to quality breeding and maintaining high breed standards.
Here’s what sets us apart:
• We raise our kittens in our home, not in cages
• We prioritize early socialization, enrichment, and positive handling
• Our breeding cats receive genetic testing, HCM echocardiogram screening, FeLV/FIV testing, routine veterinary care, and appropriate vaccines
• Based on our genetic testing, cardiac screening, pedigree information, and kitten follow-up, we have not identified a pattern of inherited disease within our breeding lines
• Each kitten comes with a one-year health guarantee
• Pet kittens are placed with a spay/neuter agreement, and we partner with SpaySecure to help track and verify completion
• We offer transparent policies, electronic contracts, and ongoing support
Siberians are often a wonderful option for families with cat allergies, and many of our kitten families have had great experiences. However, no cat breed is completely hypoallergenic, and individual reactions can vary.
If someone in your household has cat allergies, we encourage you to let us know before reserving a kitten. We also welcome families to schedule an allergy visit with our adult cats or older kittens to help them get a better idea of their individual reactions.
While these visits can be helpful, they cannot guarantee that someone won't experience allergies once a kitten is living in their home. If you're concerned about how allergies might affect your family after bringing a kitten home, we're happy to discuss possible return arrangements with you before you make a commitment.
We are deeply committed to the long-term health of our kittens and the integrity of our breeding program. Our breeding cats undergo broad feline genetic panel testing for known inherited disease variants, including PKD and other hereditary conditions. They are also screened for HCM by echocardiogram/cardiac ultrasound and test negative for FeLV and FIV before being used in our program. Our cats also receive routine veterinary wellness care and are kept current on appropriate vaccines.
Based on our genetic testing, cardiac screening, pedigree information, and follow-up with kitten families, we have not identified a pattern of inherited disease within our breeding lines.
While no breeder can guarantee that a kitten will never develop a health condition, we take health screening very seriously and make breeding decisions with the goal of producing healthy, well-adjusted kittens. Each kitten comes with a one-year health guarantee against fatal congenital or hereditary/genetic defects.
We do require that buyers have their kitten examined by a licensed veterinarian within 14 days of going home. This initial visit helps confirm your kitten’s health and allows your veterinarian to establish an appropriate care plan moving forward.
Kittens are ready to go home at 12 weeks of age. Keeping kittens with their mother and littermates through this stage supports healthy physical, emotional, and social development.
During these additional weeks, kittens continue to learn important skills such as appropriate play behavior, confidence around people, and how to adapt to new environments. They also benefit from continued socialization, routine handling, and gradual independence from their mother.
By the time your kitten goes home, they are:
• Fully weaned and eating solid food
• Reliably litter trained
• Accustomed to regular handling and socialization
• Up to date on vaccinations and veterinary care
Waiting until 12 weeks helps ensure a smoother transition into their new home and sets the foundation for a well-adjusted companion.
Yes. We offer flexible options for getting your kitten home safely and comfortably.
Once your kitten is ready to leave, typically at 12 weeks of age, we will coordinate pickup or delivery with you. You are welcome to:
• Pick up your kitten directly from our home in Arnold, Missouri
• Meet us at a halfway point, with a delivery fee based on distance
• Arrange delivery by car or flight, with fees varying by distance and method
We offer free delivery within approximately one hour of our location, which covers much of the greater St. Louis area. Beyond that, we are happy to work with you on a convenient plan. We have safely delivered kittens all across the United States and prioritize safety and comfort every step of the way.
Many of our kittens are show quality, and we welcome families who are interested in getting involved with cat shows. While most of our kittens are placed as companions, we are happy to support families who wish to explore showing.
We actively participate in CFA cat shows ourselves and have award-winning cats as part of our breeding program. We are always happy to offer guidance and support to help you get started if you would like to show your cat in CFA or TICA events.
Showing your cat is a wonderful way to learn more about the breed, connect with the community, and showcase the exceptional type, temperament, and coat Siberians are known for.
The $250 Priority Waitlist fee and $500 kitten reservation deposit are both non-refundable. Both payments are applied toward the final purchase price of your kitten.
We understand that plans can change, but these payments help us manage our waitlist and reserve kittens for families who are ready to move forward. We encourage families to be comfortable with their decision before making either payment.
We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise, even with the best intentions. Our hope is that every kitten we place will remain with their family for life, but if a situation arises where you can no longer care for your Siberian, we ask that you contact us first.
We want to be involved in helping ensure that every cat we've raised continues to have a safe, loving home. Our purchase agreement requires families to contact us before making arrangements to rehome or surrender their cat, and gives us the first opportunity to welcome the cat back.
Returning a cat does not generally include a refund, although exceptions may be considered depending on the circumstances.
All of our kittens are sold as pets only, with no breeding rights. Our veterinarians typically do not recommend spaying or neutering before four to six months of age, as early surgery can impact growth and development. That is why we send your kitten home intact at approximately 12 weeks of age.
We partner with SpaySecure, a trusted service that supports and verifies sterilization at the appropriate age. You agree to have your kitten spayed or neutered no later than seven months of age, in accordance with your veterinarian’s advice. SpaySecure provides reminders and helps ensure this step is completed responsibly.

You will be responsible for maintaining your kitten’s ongoing health, including:
• Regular veterinary visits
• Vaccinations
• Deworming
• Parasite prevention
• Proper nutrition and enrichment
We are always happy to answer questions about feeding, grooming, or supplies.
No. Declawing is strictly prohibited. This procedure amputates the tip of each toe and often leads to long term pain, behavior changes, and loss of mobility. Instead, we encourage the use of scratching posts, cardboard scratchers, and regular nail trimming. We are always happy to help families find humane alternatives that work well in their home.
You can find daily photos, videos, and updates of our kittens growing, playing, and thriving on our Instagram and Facebook pages at @legrand.siberian and LeGrand Siberians Facebook Page
Kitten information for reservation opportunities is posted on our website once kittens reach six weeks of age, but we share behind-the-scenes content on social media long before that so you can follow their journey from the very beginning.
We are grateful to the families who have welcomed our kittens and shared their experiences. You can read their stories anytime on our website’s dedicated TESTIMONIALS page.
