CZARINA
The CZARINA ETHIC
CZARINA SIBERIANS is situated in the heart of the Canadian grasslands.
The clean air and pristine water of southern Alberta inform the ethic and mindset of Czarina Siberians. These deep-rooted values keep us invested in perfecting the balance of our Siberian cats' sweetness and glamour. Bred and raised with an eye to beauty, health, and affection from a lineage of World Champions; at Czarina Siberians, our cats' genetics and personalities are unadulterated and unmatched.
CZARINA SIBERIANS is committed to raising well socialized, champion pedigree kittens with immaculate bloodlines and origins. We are experienced, registered breeders in good standing.
INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED AWARD WINNING members of The International Cat Association (TICA), Czarina Siberians Cats and Kittens and Alters perform with excellence in TICA Cat Shows. TICA judges frequently commend us on the calibre of our Siberian cats in their confirmation to the TICA Siberian standard and on the excellence of our breeding program seen through our show cats, kittens, and alters.
LA (IW RW) BW SGCA CZARINA GALADRIEN, our Siberian Alter (show category for nuetered and spayed cats), enjoyed a phenomenal 2022-23 show season, finishing strong with our first International Winner (IW) title as one of the top 25 Alters in the world. He also achieved a second first for Czarina Siberians by earning his Breed Winner (BW) title as the Best Siberian Alter in the world. And to top it all off, he quickly became a Supreme Grand Champion Alter (SGCA) by placing Best In Show after earning his Quadruple Grand Champion title at only 11 months of age. A 2-show Supreme is highly coveted but rarely happens, and our boy did it! Galadrien keeps blowing us away, along with the countless TICA Judges who have loved our darling.
We showed Galadrien again for the 2023-24 show year, and he's an exceptional example of the Siberian standard with a beautiful show temperament - he loves showing! We had a goal is for our outstanding Alter to bring another huge first home as Czarina Siberians’ first Lifetime Achievement (LA) title holder. He needed to earn his Regional Winner (RW) position as one of the top 25 Alters in the Pacific NorthWest at the end of the 2023-24 TICA show season to complete the three required titles of IW, RW, and either a second RW or BW (which is the rarest combination with only one Alter of any given breed achieving this goal each year and made it possible for him to complete in 2 years what usually takes a minimum of 3 years).
We’re ecstatic to announce our third generation home-grown TICA star completed the trio of hard-won titles required to achieve his LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT TITLE with TICA: Introducing LA (IW RW) BW SGCA Czarina Galadrien.
ONGOING EDUCATION, both formal and informal, influences every aspect of our care for our beloved cats and kittens. We are continually furthering our understanding of ethical breeding, Siberian standards, and exceptional cat care. Our sense of pride in our progress over the years and excitement to continue learning, refining, and improving every aspect of Czarina Siberians keeps Czarina Siberians among the best Siberian Cats and Kittens available around the world.

LINEAGE & LIFE

Siberians are among the largest breeds of domesticated cats. Their medium-longhaired coats boast a wide spectrum of colouring. Siberians' rich colours and eye-catching patterns range from golden tabbies, to chocolatey brown tabbies, to exquisite silvers, to creamy colour points, to shimmery smokes.
We thoughtfully and excitedly select each of our Kings and Queens based on first-rate beauty, incredible personality, excellent health testing, championship pedigree, and conformity to the timeless Siberian standard.
CZARINA SIBERIANS cats and kittens receive regular visits to our excellent ABVMA registered Veterinarians to maintain optimal health, updated routine testing, quality nutrition, and complete feline care. We love our Siberian Cats deeply and strive to provide them with the healthiest and most comfortable environment in our home, specifically tailored to their enrichment needs and preferences throughout their development.

Each kitten adopted from us receives countless hours of specialized socialization from birth, and forever holds a special place in our hearts and memories. We love keeping in contact with our kittens’ adoptive families throughout their lives together, both expecting and appreciating this precious life-long relationship.
Adoption is always an important decision and commitment. We encourage prospective Siberian adoptive families to interact with us with any questions, big or small.

ENVIRONMENT
CZARINA SIBERIANS is located on rolling hills enveloped in clean air and bordered by pure flowing water in the heartland of southern Alberta. Our Northern Shield region's exceptionally cold winters and long, bright summer days are reminiscent of the breed's origins in the Taiga — the first home of the breed in the Siberian band of northern Russia.
CZARINA SIBERIANS kittens are raised as part of our family. They are nurtured exclusively inside our home, where they tumble about our spacious ranch house and ramble near us or snuggle as we relax on a sofa or drift to sleep in bed.
Their cozy purrs fill our hearts with love, and their rambunctious climbing and tussling is always a source of good humour.
We work tirelessly to specialize the socialization process for each kitten to give the best possible foundation for their adoptive family to build upon with our extensive training and life-long support.
We are proud of our kittens and delight in placing them in the loving arms of their forever families where they can continue to develop and thrive in their nurturing forever home.
CZARINA SIBERIANS Kings and Queens love to roam the idyllic landscape with us, always safely secured in their halter and long leash from the time they have completed their kitten vaccination protocols. They thrive on climbing trees, pouncing through the snow, joining us in the kayaks on sunny beach days, or simply watching the cool water flow by on our riverside walks.
We have built spacious catios in our yard, nestled among evergreens, lilacs, poplars, and honeysuckles, and surrounded by songbirds and gentle breezes, allowing our cats to freely come and go from home to safe and fully secure outdoor play spaces.
The Czarina Holistic Ranch property is a Siberian haven, with perches and climbing posts and myriad toys throughout our home and catios.
KINGS
CZARINA SIBERIANS Kings have been thoughtfully selected from among the most reputable breeders around the world. All have thoroughly health-tested lines, and are themselves health tested, full of World Champions and similarly titled parents and ancestors. We love taking our Kings and their offspring to TICA shows. It is always exciting to hear the judges confirm how well our kings represent the TICA Siberian standard and commend us on their part in our exceptional breeding program.
CZARINA SIBERIANS Kings’ gorgeous, spacious rooms are themed after famous Slavic landscapes with adjoining, enormous catios nestled in the trees. We love spending time snuggling and playing with each of our Kings in his domain and have created an oasis of sorts for ourselves where we relax and enjoy time with each of our phenomenal Kings while sipping tart home-brewed sun tea over ice on those bright, warm days of summer or rich steaming cocoa when the days turn chilly in winter.
We are ecstatic to announce our newest TICA title for one of our Kings, which is the most coveted title among pedigree breeders around the world. It requires 10 offspring to achieve a Grand Championship title or higher, and our OUTSTANDING SIRE ELIZAR achieved this prestigious title with 11 offspring in 2023! Check out Elizar’s introduction below for the impressive achievements of his 11 offspring that worked together over years to make their daddy Elizar, along with all of us at Czarina Siberians, so proud and honoured.
If you have adopted a kitten from us whose daddy is Oliver, Osya, Bobby, or Groshik, we would LOVE for your kitty to join with their brothers and sisters in helping their own daddy kitty achieve the prestigious Outstanding Sire title, too. We can make the process easy for you with as little involvement as you’d like or help you get started showing your kitty if you find that enticing. Just ask us how!
Now, we are delighted to introduce you to our Kings, the fathers of our precious kittens.
OLIVER - retired foundation king
Oliver means affectionate, which perfectly describes our patriarch related to most of our kittens through several of our beloved momma cats (his exceptional daughters, granddaughters, and all the way to his upcoming great great great granddaughter, carry his phenomenal line forward to this day). Thank you to Nikki of Nikarl cattery for our beloved foundation king!
Each kitten born from Oliver’s line shows a taste of his playful yet laid-back personality. He comes from a long line of International Champions the world over. Oliver bears his award-winning ancestors’ exquisite beauty, mesmerizingly deep blue eyes, and luxurious blue lynx point coat.
Oliver is retired and adores companionship with his loving family, where he brings a perfect blend of liveliness and coziness. Their time is spent basking in shafts of sunlight on the couch, cozying up for an evening movie, watching his energetic racing about the house, cooking ‘together’ in the kitchen, and playing with Oliver’s favourite toys. Oliver is an attentive listener whose gentle meows, sweet chirrups, and rumbling purrs punctuate the conversation, while his love of snuggling makes him an ideal lap cat. Oliver’s playful sense of humour keeps him happy with his myriad toys, and we couldn’t be more delighted for our sweetly gentle boy!
We are proud to call Oliver the foundational father to our Czarina Siberians kittens.
If you have adopted one (or more!) of Oliver’s kittens through the years and might like to participate in helping their daddy Oliver achieve the title of Outstanding Sire, please email us pictures of your kitty to winona@czarinasiberians.com
We need your help! Currently, Oliver is nearly halfway to this accomplishment with 4 of 10 of his offspring achieving the title of Grand Champion or higher. We would love to chat with you and hopefully have your kitty join this list of phenomenal offspring who call our incredible King Oliver their daddy:
OD SGC Czarina Elizaveta (retired queen now in her forever family)
RW GRC Czarina Adalaide (retired queen now in her forever family)
DGC Czarina Alina (retired queen now in her forever family)
RW QGC Czarina Anzhelika (retired queen now in her forever family)
OSYA - retired foundation king
Osya means father of many, and we are thrilled our unendingly sweet king became just that. He won our hearts from the moment he joined our home, with his loving chirrups and head-butts for attention. Thank you to Elena of Syberia cattery for our second foundational king Osya!
Osya’s tender, endearing disposition and stunning golden eyes are a striking combination. It’s no wonder, as he comes from a long line of International Champions the world over. We are thrilled his excellent line continues through his exceptional daughters, granddaughters, great granddaughters, and even his upcoming great great granddaughter.
Osya’s dense black smoke with white coat is a phenomenal sight to behold, especially when his rippling muscles show that gorgeous silver effect as the white band on his fur close to his skin shows through the pitch black outer layer as he moves. Stunning!
Osya is retired and loving life snuggling with his family, people watching out the window, and batting toys around like a four-legged soccer star.
Each of Osya’s kittens show a taste of his easy-going yet affectionate personality, as well as his genes for large kitties. Many of Osya’s kittens have matured to a healthy fifteen to twenty-five plus pounds. Who doesn’t love a big, purring, warm kitty for cozy snuggles?
We are proud to call Osya our second foundational father to our Czarina Siberians kittens.
If you have adopted one (or more!) of Osya’s kittens through the years and might like to participate in helping their daddy Osya achieve the title of Outstanding Sire, please email us pictures of your kitty to winona@czarinasiberians.com
We need your help! Currently, Osya has just begun the journey to this accomplishment with 1 of 10 of his offspring achieving the title of Grand Champion or higher. We would love to chat with you and hopefully have your kitty join this list of phenomenal offspring who call our incredible King Osya their daddy:
OD SGCA Czarina Izabella (retired queen ready to join her forever family)
Elizar - Outstanding Sire
Elizar means God my helper, and he is a socialite who wins the hearts of everyone he sees. Thank you to Anna and Tatiana of Maris Stella cattery for our charismatic and loving Elizar!
Elizar’s comically hilarious approach to life keeps us laughing as he lazes about the house in some of the most ridiculous positions imaginable. Even in his TICA show debuts as a kitten, Elizar kept the audience and judges in stitches with his hilarious positions in the show cage each juding ring. What a ham!
On the judges’ table Elizar was routinely commended for his perfect head type, incredible body condition, fantastic alignment, and confirmation to the Siberian standard. We were so proud of Elizar when he achieved TICA 2nd Best Siberian Kitten of the Year in the Pacific NorthWest that year. What a phenomenal king is our Elizar!
Beginning with his very first litter of kittens, we have been working toward Elizar receiving our very first OUTSTANDING SIRE (OS) title. He outdid himself, with eleven (when it required ten) of Elizar’s offspring having accomplished Grand Champion (GRC) all the way up to the highest Supreme Grand Champion (SGC) titles and more. Elizar’s phenomenal offspring have helped him achieve this well-deserved title he always held in our hearts! Elizar is a truly exceptional king, and here are his titled daughters and sons to date!
IW BW SGCA Czarina Galadrien (now in his forever family, home with us for show weekends)
RW SGC Czarina Anastasia (retired queen now in her forever family)
RW SGC Czarina Lapushka (current queen)
RW SGCA Czarina Czarovich (now in his forever family)
RW SGCA Czarina Czarnika (now in her forever family)
RW QGC Czarina Zariyana (current queen)
RW QGCA Czarina Yezdra (now in his forever family)
QGC Czarina Nataliya (retired queen now in her forever family)
QGCA Czarina Petr (now in his forever family)
DGC Czarina Karolina (current queen)
GRC Czarina Tyanna (retired queen now in her forever family)
Elizar is also athletic and loves racing around his catio, enjoying the jungle gym we built in his enormous catio. In the winter, he just pops back in through his kitty door to soak in the warmth or luxuriate in snuggling arms before heading out for more playtime. Elizar is a true son of Siberia!
Elizar’s zest for life is tempered by his passion for being carried. He’s pure muscle, filling out his excellent barrel shaped body gorgeously with that Siberian build that is so densely heavy. His sandpaper-rough tongue is always ready to give kisses. Elizar readily captured our hearts from the first moment he joined our family with his loudly rumbling purrs and affectionate nature.
Elizar passes on to his kittens his expressive big eyes, broadly rounded face, beautifully barrel-shaped torso, delightful charisma, sturdy body, affectionate nature, and excessively confident friendliness.
We are proud to call Elizar daddy to many of our Czarina Siberians kittens.
Bobby - triple grand champion
Bobby means famed, bright, shining, which perfectly described the bright joy he’s brought into our home and the admiration he garners everywhere he goes. Thank you to Albina of Arkaim cattery for our sweetheart Bobby!
With his incredibly sweet disposition and even-keeled approach to life, Bobby is ready for whatever ideas we have. He adores living life as a lap kitty, melting into our laps like a ragdoll. He loves going for car rides, cozying into our laps with contented purrs rumbling and his gorgeous big blue eyes taking in all the passing scenery and other vehicles with rapt attention only broken when he frequently turns his loving gaze on us with gentle chirrups.
With Bobby’s incredible blue eyes, sweet personality, and love for affection, he immediately filled a place in our hearts and home we didn’t even know was empty.
Shortly before flying across the ocean to join our family, Bobby took in a European TICA show and achieved his first title of Champion. Once he arrived and was fully settled in and beautifully bonded with us, we continued his TICA show season. That year, Bobby earned 5th Best Siberian of the Year in the Pacific NorthWest. Two years in a row he earned International Best Blue Point Siberian of the Year in the Pacific NorthWest, and that second year he also placed 11th Best Siberian cat of the Year in the Pacific NorthWest. Our Bobby-boy has achieved the title of Triple Grand Champion (TGC) with TICA, and we are so proud of all he has accomplished.
Bobby has an incredible show temperament, loving to play with the judges toys, standing well for them, and showing off his breathtakingly blue eyes to one and all. Bobby is memorable and leaves a wonderful impression on all he meets. We feel so thankful for our beloved Bobby.
In the nice weather, Bobby loves lying on the cool grass in his enormous catio, enjoying the flitting chirping birds fly overhead and the gently flowing waterfall while soaking in the sun’s warm rays. He also adores our large dog, playing with him and snuggling with him in the house.
Bobby passes on to his kittens his breathtakingly big eyes, expressive face, gorgeous thick coat, affectionate confidence, beautiful confirmation, and snuggly loving nature.
We are proud to call him daddy to many of our Czarina Siberians kittens.
If you have adopted one (or more!) of Bobby’s kittens through the years and might like to participate in helping their daddy Bobby achieve the title of Outstanding Sire, please email us pictures of your kitty to winona@czarinasiberians.com
We need your help! Currently, Bobby has just begun his journey to this accomplishment with 1 of 10 of his offspring achieving the title of Grand Champion or higher. We would love to chat with you and hopefully have your kitty join this list of phenomenal offspring who call our incredible King Bobby their daddy:
QGC Czarina Naida (current queen)
groshik - regional winner & supreme grand champion
Groshik means a red penny, which hearkens to his stunning red lynx point coat. Groshik is our newest King and excelled in TICA shows with us. Thank you to Oksana of Tsar-Koshka cattery for our huge and loving Groshik!
When Groshik joined our family he quickly endeared himself to us with his sweetly affectionate nature and hilariously lazy playfulness. It was love at first sight, and we and our darling Groshik bonded quickly and deeply. This big boy adores being held close, as he loudly purrs and kneads the air with his massive paws.
We worked hard preparing Groshik to start his TICA show career, and he has exceeded our expectations as he learned what to expect and how to handle himself in the show rings for each judge. Groshik quickly developed an enjoyment for showing, even becoming unfazed by the cacophany of sounds at Pet Expos, where barking dogs, loudspeakers, milling crowds, myriad pets from pigs to amphibians to birds, and even the deafening dog competitions happening all around us did not bother him. We’re continually amazed by our Groshik!
Groshik routinely wowed the TICA judges with his unexpected heft even in seeing how big he is, his gorgeously dense red lynx point coat, his stunning big blue eyes, his excellent barrel-shaped body, his perfect head, his conformity to the Siberian standard, and his darling personality.
Groshik so impressed the TICA judges that he frequently placed Best AllBreed Cat and quickly earned his Supreme Grand Champion title at just one year of age! He finished the show year strong as the 4th Best Siberian Cat of the Year in the World, the Best Siberian Cat in the Pacific NorthWest Region, and the 6th Best AllBreed Cat in the Pacific NorthWest Region, earning him his Regional Winner RW title. He had a fantastic show season, and we’re so proud of all he accomplished in his TICA show career.
Groshik has driven and flown with us across Canada and the States and takes in the sights and sounds with such sweet confidence from his travel carrier, his halter and leash, or our loving arms. He's even experienced Niagara Falls with us and loved sniffing the misty air from our arms with eyes closed, taking in all the scenes and sounds and simply lounging in our loving arms. What a sweet, sweet king is our Groshik.
Groshik passes on to his kittens his phenomenal big round eyes, broad head, gorgeous dense coat, unexpected heft, lovely confirmation, and affectionately sweet nature.
We are proud to call him daddy to many of our Czarina Siberians kittens.
If you have adopted one (or more!) of Groshik’s kittens and might like to participate in helping their daddy Groshik achieve the title of Outstanding Sire, please email us pictures of your kitty to winona@czarinasiberians.com
We need your help! Currently, Groshik’s kittens are nearly old enough to start earning titles beginning when they reach 8 months of age. We are showing his daughter, Czarina Jasmolika, as a kitten and anticipate she will be one of the first to begin the journey to this accomplishment with requiring 10 of his offspring achieving the title of Grand Champion or higher. We would love to chat with you and hopefully have your kitty join this list of phenomenal offspring who call our incredible King Oliver their daddy.
CZARINA SIBERIAN FOREST CATS
HYPOALLERGENIC
Siberian Forest Cats are considered hypoallergenic, which means they have low allergen levels.
Although there is no cat breed that is completely non-allergenic, the Siberian breed is known for having some of the lowest allergen levels among cats. Our experience is that most allergy sufferers are able to welcome our kittens into their homes with either no allergic reaction at all, or only a mild initial reaction, which tends to dissipate over the first days or weeks of welcoming their new kitty home.
Most cat allergies appear to be caused by a protein in feline saliva and sebum called Fel d1. This Fel d1 protein contains an allergen load that tend to be very high in most cats; however, Siberian Cats have consistently low levels of this protein. Siberians have proven to be fantastic for those with this most common form of cat allergies.
Our first introduction to Siberian Cats came about a decade after my oldest daughter faced a life-and-death ambulance ride to the Calgary Children's Hospital. Due to severe cat allergies, she was not able to breathe. We rejoiced when our little girl survived, but our hearts grieved as we faced the necessity of rehoming our beloved pet cat. When we learned, several years later, that Siberian Cats are hypoallergenic, we were filled with new hope. What a joy to watch my daughter snuggle and play with our amazing Siberian kitten with no allergic reaction at all. It is now our joy and privilege to place our Siberian kittens in homes of those who have been unable to have a cat due to cat allergies.
CZARINA SIBERIANS kittens usually join families with mild to severe cat allergies. The amazement, disbelief, tears of joy, and unbounded delight that accompanies these adoptions fills our hearts to overflowing.
Because of the primal beauty and devoted nature of these gentle giants, along with their amazing hypoallergenic qualities, we have chosen to become advocates for preserving and improving this unique breed since our inception nearly sixteen years ago.
CZARINA SIBERIANS
HISTORY & FOLKLORE
Slavic tales attribute a rich history and folklore to Siberian Forest Cats. These large, muscular, semi-longhaired, hypoallergenic cats are known for their interactive playfulness and astoundingly sweet beauty.
Siberians have many dog-like qualities of loyalty, intelligence, calm sweetness, and desire to remain near their families and other pets.
Many families who have adopted from us over the years have taught their kitties clever tricks. Some will play fetch, shake a paw, sit on command, somersault in pursuit of a good toy, play in water or jump great heights.
Some of our kittens accompany their families for weekends to the family cabin or on camping trips. Some of our kittens now love to go sailing on the ocean or 'backpack hiking' in the mountains with their families. Sometimes, the only limit is your patience and imagination.
SIBERIAN CATS bond deeply with their families and often sense and provide needed psychological or physical support. Very often, individuals or families will adopt one or more Siberian kitten or cat from us to serve as an emotional support for someone in the family. We find it rewarding seeing our kitties providing such vital care to their loved ones.
Although known for being quiet, Siberian Cats do make comforting and melodic sounds, including friendly chirrups, gentle meows, sweet trills, and plenty of purring.
The first Siberian Cat to arrive in North America came in 1990. In 1992, TICA accepted Siberian Cats as a registered new breed for showing, where Siberians wowed judges and observers alike. Before then, Siberians had domesticated themselves to local families from their natural woodland habitats of the Siberian Taiga. The earliest known reference to Siberian Forest Cats is from 1000AD, although Siberians have starred in Slavic tales and folklore for generations. With the perfect blend of being both excellent hunters and gently friendly, Siberian cats quickly won over the hearts of their new families from those early days. Thus the creativity born of oral tradition began crafting playful stories shared generation after generation such as depicted in the origins of Governor Catafay Ivanovich.
Once, long ago, in the Taiga, there lived an elderly peasant man. On his small land he had a cat who was always getting into mischief. The old peasant grew tired of his feline nonsense. Thinking it over, he scooped up the cat in a burlap sack, tied it up with twine, and walked into the forest. There he untied the bag, left the troublemaking cat to fend for himself.
The cat wandered through the forest, until he came upon a woodman's cottage. The playful cat climbed into the loft, and made himself at home.
When he was hungry he would go out and catch a bird, or mouse, in the woods. Having eaten his fill, the furry monster would return to the warmth, and peace of the loft. Life was idilic.
One day the cat went walking and met a fox. The fox, who marvelled at the cat, said to herself: "I've never seen such a beast in all my days."
She curtseyed to the cat, asking: "Tell me, kind Sir, who are you? What brings you to these parts, and what, pray, might be your name?"
Ruffling up his fur, the cat said boldly: "I have been sent from Siberian forests to be your new governor. You may call me by my name, and title, which is Governor Catafay Ivanovich."
"Ah, Catafay Ivanovich," said the fox, "I had not heard of your appointment. Will you come home with me and be my dinner guest?"
Catafay acquiesced, and so went with the fox.
When they arrived at the fox's home, the fox treated her guest to all kinds of game, enquiring: "Tell me, Catafay Ivanovich, are you married, or are you single?"
"Single," said the cat.
"Ah, so am I. Take me for your wife?”
The cat agreed. And they began to feast in happy celebration.
On the next day the fox set off to gather provisions to feed her new husband. The cat stayed home.
As she ran along the the forest floor, the newlywed fox was met by a wolf she knew. The wolf, who chanced across her path, began to banter: "Where have you been, my dear? I looked in all the fox-holes, and I found no sign of you."
"Let me pass, fool. None of your banter. I'm a married woman now."
"Who is your husband, dear fox Liza?"
"Have you not heard that we have a new governor, who has been sent from the the head of the forests of Siberia? His name is Governor Catafay Ivanovich. And I am now the governor's wife."
"No. I have not heard, Liza. Please may I take a look at our Governor?”
"Oh my. That Catafay Ivanovich of mine is so fierce, that if anyone displeases him he eats them up in only a moment. Get a lamb and bring it to pay your tribute. Then, you should lay down low, and make yourself scarce. If my husband, the governor he sees you, brother, you'd better have prayed in the morning of your mistake.“
Off ran the wolf to retrieve a lamb.
On went the fox until she met a bear, who at once began another banter with her: "Hold your tongue, Bandylegs.” she snapped, "I'm a married woman now."
"Who is your husband, Liza?"
"Our new governor, sent from the forests of Siberia. His name is Catafay Ivanovich and he is my husband."
"Please may I take a look at him, Liza?" asked the bear. "Oh my. That Catafay Ivanovich of mine is a fierce Governor. If anyone displeases him he swallows them up right away. Get an ox and bring it to pay your respects. The wise wolf is right now going to bring him a lamb. Be sure you lay the ox down, and then make yourself scarce, for if my husband lays eyes on you, brother, you'd better have made your prayers before then.“
The bear ambled off to get an ox.
The wolf got a lamb, skinned it, and stood thinking. Looking into the middle distance, whom should the wolf see, but the bear dragging an ox beside him.
"Good-day, Brother Bear," said the wolf.
"Good-day, Brother Wolf. Have you seen the fox, and her husband?"
"No, brother, I want to very much."
"Then go and call on them."
"No, not me. Brother Bear. You go, and report. You are braver, and larger than I am, Bandylegs.”
"No, Brother Wolf, I won't go either. Perhaps you, Alpintongue. You are smoother.”
All of a sudden a hare dashed past the pair. The bear shouted at him to stop: "Come here, you cross-eyed devil!"
The frightened hare came scurrying up, at a safe distance to bolt.
"Well, now, cross-eyed Whippersnapper. Do you know where the fox resides?”
"I do. Sir."
"Then just you run off and tell her that Brother Bear and Brother Wolf are ready, and waiting, to see her, and her husband. You are fleet. Tell her, safely, that we two are eager to pay our tributes of lamb and ox."
The hare flew off to the official residence of the fox, as fast as his legs would carry him, sparing only a little in case of the need to beat a retreat.
Meanwhile the bear and the wolf wondered where to hide. Said the bear: "I'll climb up the great old pine."
"But what am I to do?" asked the wolf. "Where can I hide? I can't get up a tree. Brother Bear, I beg of you, help me find a place to hide myself away. I must secret myself in a safe spot.”
So, the bear, and hid him in the bushes, and covered him with dry leaves, and thorny branches. Then he clambered to the thin top of the great old pine tree; the very top. As it bent down a little, under Bandylegs’ heft, he looked around to see if Governor Catafay the Cat, and First Lady Liza the Fox, might be approaching the tribute blow.
Meanwhile, the hare ran to the fox's house, knocked on the door, and with legs sprung for a run, told to the fox the message: "Brother Bear and Brother Wolf sent me to tell you that they are ready, and waiting, for you, and your husband. They are eager to pay their respects with lamb and ox."
"Go back and tell that them we are coming, crosseyed.”
So the cat and the fox set off together, shortly thereafter, seeing no hare left on their step. The bear, from the top of the pine, spotted them coming first, and called down to the wolf: "Brother Wolf, the fox and her husband, the Governor of our Taiga, are on their way to us. He is very far, or he is very small."
When the cat came close, the debate was settled, as he pounced on the top of offering of an ox. With his fur bristling, he began to tear at the meat with his teeth and claws, miaowing away all intimidation, but all the while as if in anger: "Mo-o-ore, mo-o-ore!"
"He may be small, but what a glutton!" commented the bear from on high. "There's enough for the four of us, but he wants more? What if he turns his hunger on us next?”
The wolf wanted to take a look at the fearsome governor, but could not see through the thorny brushes. He began to push them aside, scarring his paws. The cat heard rustling, and he thought it was a mouse, and gave at the sound a great bound, planting his claws right on the wolf's soft nose.
The wolf jumped up straight in the air, and fled in terror, trailing a chaos of sharp branches, and startled yelps.
The cat himself also took fright and rushed to the tree in which the bear was sitting.
"Oh, my goodness," thought the bear, "he has spotted me!"
There was no time to climb down, so he gave himself up to God's will, and with eyes squeezed shut, and his paws on the points of the compass, he leapt up off the tip of the pine, and floated down far too quickly to the pad of pine needles and roots below. Landing with a grand, deep, “THUMP”, that shook his insides up, the startled bear batted at the sparkles in his eyes, and he took to his heels, with the lady fox shouting after him: "He'll give you what for! Just you wait!"
After that all the animals feared the Siberian Governor, this little, gluttonous cat.
The cat and fox never hunted again. Governor Catafay, and Lady Liza, had enough meat, daily, beneath the great old pine, through winters and summers, and they lived and prospered, as their heirs still do to this day.

CZARINA SIBERIANS
ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS
CZARINA SIBERIANS kittens are family to us.
It is important to us that each one is adopted into a loving family and the right environment.
As we speak on the phone or in person with you, and as you get to know us, it will become clear to us which kitten will be the best fit for your home.
Introducing your kitten to his or her new home may require an adjustment period. Before you bring your kitten home, we will walk you through tips and tricks we have accrued over our many years of experience.
Once you join our reservation list, you face the hardest part of this journey - your wait. However, after your kitten’s litter is born, we will share a phone call confirming the timing is right for your kitten to join your home. You will then begin receiving an email every week or two with high-value, digestible information for each step of your journey from discovering the history of the Siberian breed to how to care for your Siberian’s coat to how to bond with your kitten to how to prepare for a safe and meaningful first introduction through bonding time with your kitten to a shopping list of must-haves and good options setting you up for success in meeting your kitten’s needs. You will be introduced to your kitten’s parents and your kitten’s unique personality and preferences. These emails include updated pictures of your kitten so you can watch your kitten grow and develop from infancy to adoption! These information-rich emails will serve as your Czarina Kitty Care Manual, which will be your indispensable guide throughout your time preparing for and welcoming your Czarina Siberians kitten into your home and family. We recommend you keep these emails in a dedicated folder or printed out for future reference.
Of course, you’re always welcome to email, text, phone, or message us through social media for help and insights along the way. Or simply to share your beloved kitty with us - we love all these updates! Every single kitten we raise is named from birth, known by us as a distinct individual, loved and enjoyed for all the special personality that shines through, and is remembered fondly for life in our home and hearts. Every time we kiss our Czarina Siberians kitten goodbye and place him or her in the arms and care of a new or returning Czarina Forever Family, it is bittersweet. While we miss each kitten, their personality, and the special moments he or she brought into our home and hearts; we also celebrate each kitten’s new life as he or she joins the family we thoughtfully chose to be his or her Czarina Forever Family. We are always happily available to our kittens’ families, and we encourage followup conversations throughout the settling-in process, and beyond. We love following our kitties’ on Instagram and receiving pictures, videos, and as much as you want to share with us from all your special moments together, too!
CZARINA SIBERIANS’ Foster-to-Adopt Program is dear to our hearts because we love all of our cats and the joy they bring, and we want the very best life for each one of them. Our Foster-to-Adopt program infrequently allows a loving home in Central Alberta to join our Czarina Siberians family by fostering one of our exceptional Czarina Siberians momma cats. This allows select few of our momma cats to flourish in her own domain away from our home’s momma kitty community when she joins her foster family. This is one reason why you will infrequently find a retired Czarina Siberians cat available for an adoptive family. We prioritize raising our Czarina Siberians kittens in our home to give a consistent upbringing, so when it’s time Momma kitty comes back to her first loving home with us here at Czarina Holistic Ranch to raise her kittens with our support and expertise until she says her goodbyes as they are happily adopted by their forever families. Momma kitty then returns to playfully and lovingly rule over her foster family once again. In this way, we meet our desire for all of our cats to have the very best life, in consideration of their personalities and desires, filled with affection, care, and personal attention, whether in our home with their kitty friends and us or in their Foster-to-Adopt family.
QUEENS
CZARINA SIBERIANS Queens have been thoughtfully selected from among the most reputable breeders around the world as well as for multiple generations from our own exceptional lines.
All come from health-tested lines full of all manner of award winning, well titled (through judging at TICA cat shows) parents and ancestors. We love taking our Queens to The International Cat Association (TICA) shows, and it is always exciting to come home with new championship titles.
We are ecstatic to introduce two of our queens who achieved the most coveted title among pedigree breeders around the world. It required 5 offspring to achieve a Grand Championship title or higher, and both of our queens, who happen to be mother and daughter, OUTSTANDING DAM IZABELLA and OUTSTANDING DAM ELIZAVETA, achieved this prestigious title the same year with 6 offspring each! Check out Izabella’s and Elizaveta’s mini bios from our TICA titled retired queens for the impressive lists of each of their 6 offspring that worked together over the years to make their mommas and all of us at Czarina Siberians so proud and honoured.
If you have adopted a kitten from us, we would LOVE your kitty to join with their brothers and sisters in helping their own momma kitty achieve the prestigious Outstanding Dam title, too. Just ask us how!
Scroll to the bottom of the page to see our fabulous kitties’ accomplishments four years in a row as they are recognized in the TICA Yearbook! (1) The first features our top (now retired) momma kitty Anastasia and top (now retired) then momma-to-be kitten Anzhelika from 2019-20 and (2) the second features our second two Regional Winners (RW) Yezdra in the Alter Class (now adopted), and his older sister now retired momma Adalaide! We learn so much during the judging of all the cat breeds and love to hear the judges confirm how well our queens and future queens represent the TICA Siberian standard.
(3) Show season 2020-21 was a big one as we doubled our new Regional Winner titled cats again with four spectacular kitties: momma kitty RW Czarina Marissa was 22nd Best AllBreed Kitten in NW and Best Siberian Kitten in Canada and NW, momma kitty RW SGC Czarina Zariyana placed 14th Best LongHair Cat in NW and Best Siberian Cat in Canada and NW, RW SGCA Czarina Czarnika placed 15th Best AllBreed Alter in NW and 2nd Best Siberian Alter in Canada, and her brother RW SGCA Czarina Czarovich placed 12th Best AllBreed Alter in the NW and Best Siberian Alter in Canada (these two are happily settled into their adoptive family together).
(4) Most recently, we achieved 4 new firsts for Czarina Siberians: Outstanding Sire (OS) for daddy Elizar, Outstanding Dam (OD) for two mommas: Izabella and Elizaveta, and our third-generation home-grown kitty Galadrien won both International Winner (IW) since our kitty placed in the top 25 Alters in the world and Breed Winner (BW) since our kitty placed Best Siberian Alter in the world! Whew! We also achieved two additional Regional Winners (RW) for our newest daddy Groshik and momma Lapushka. What a year we had in 2022-23!
TICA judges regularly commend us on our exceptional breeding program, and we feel privileged to receive such glowing commendations each time we bring our Czarina Siberians to TICA Cat Shows.
We are proud to introduce you to our Queens, the fabulous mothers of our kittens.
RW sgc czarina LAPUSHKA
Lapushka means darling sweetheart, which perfectly describes our endearing and loving queen, fourth generation of Czarina Siberians.
Lapushka is a stunning cool brown black mackerel tabby with mesmerizing green eyes.
As soon as she was old enough to show with the adult Championship Cats, Lapushka joined us on our next show trip driving down to the States. She was a fabulous traveler, full of trusting sweetness.
In the show ring, this girl was a favourite due to her perfect alignment, confident sweetness, fantastic head type, being built like a tank, her affectionate and perky personality, and as a gorgeous example for the Siberian standard. One esteemed TICA Judge quickly decided Lapushka was her favourite cat and placed her Best In Show ever after. In fact, we will always be thankful to esteemed TICA Judge Ellen Crockett for the day in a Pennsylvania show where she placed our fabulous Lapushka Best in Show and earned Lapushka her Supreme Grand Championship (SGC) title. Thank you!
We are so proud of our darling Lapushka and all the fabulous feedback she garnered in the judging rings. Lapushka had an amazing show weekend and came home a Triple Grand Champion (TGC), placing high with over 60 cats vying for the top 10 AllBreed Finals. Since then, Lapushka achieved her Supreme Grand Championship at just 11 months of age and finished the show season as 12th Best AllBreed Cat in the Pacific NorthWest Region and 5th Best Siberian Cat in the World. She had a fabulous show season, and we’re so proud of all she accomplished in her TICA show career. Lapushka also helped her daddy Elizar achieve his Outstanding Sire and momma Izabella achieve her Outstanding Dam with TICA.
Lapushka always meets a friend. She works hard to be a good friend to our other kitties, she finds our big dog fascinating, and she adores snuggles with us.
Lapushka took to motherhood like she was born for this. She adores caring for her sweetly loving and highly intelligent kittens. She passes on her charismatic and affectionate character, along with her astounding beauty, to her kittens. She is a doting momma kitty who raises really smart and eager-to-please kittens who bring comfort and delight to their forever families.

Zariyana loves to play with her toys, climb her cat tree, race around her catio, and outside she loves being admired as she walks on her halter and leash with us summer or winter. She adores kayaking with us on the lake, delightedly watching the ducklings and their quacking parents glide past us or a motorboat speed by creating waves that rock our kayak.
Zariyana enjoyed driving across Canada and flying into the US for TICA shows and took the cacophonous noise of Pet Expos in stride, which pleased us immensely. She thoroughly impressed the TICA Judges and spectators alike with her massive Siberian triple coat, huge barrel body, thick legs, excellent conformity to the Siberian standard, and impressive loving confidence. This queen aptly earned her Quadruple Grand Champion (QGC) title and went on to achieve her Regional Winner (RW) title as the 14th Best LongHair Cat in the Pacific NorthWest Region. Zariyana helped her daddy Elizar achieve his Outstanding Sire and momma Elizaveta achieve her Outstanding Dam with TICA. Zariyana then paused showing to delight in raising her darling mini-me kittens, including the phenomenal RW QGC Czarina Naida, one of our darling momma kitties.
December 2023, Zariyana joined us for one show, where esteemed TICA Judge Jay Bangle adored her phenomenal Siberian type and her charming personality, placing her Best In Show and earning Zariyana her Supreme Grand Championship (SGC). Thank you! What a phenomenal queen is our Zariyana!

Naida will happily spend hours snuggled up with us purring contentedly. She is so sweet and gentle with us, yet her boisterous play with toys and on her cat tree always surprises laughter from us. This girl could not be more perfect in her blend of affectionate gentleness and sprightly playfulness. Naida loves nothing more than snuggling, and the second we sit down anywhere she appears and leaps into our arms with utter trust we will catch her and snuggle her close while she purrs contentedly. She’s a delight!
Naida never simply walks anywhere. She prances about like a ballerina with her luxurious triple coat floating up and down with a life of its own with each step. She is mesmerizing to watch, like pure poetry. She’s a quiet adventurer at heart who looks to us with full trust whenever we introduce her to something new. Kayaking, road trips, and TICA shows, she’s willing to take things in stride as long as she can see us approving of her carefree nature.
Naida joined us for her first TICA show in January and quickly discovered she loved making friends with all the Judges and playing with their toys or snuggling into them with contented purrs. She quickly became a joy to show.
Naida has since achieved her Quadruple Grand Championship (QGC) and is in the Top 25 Championship Cats in the Pacific NorthWest Region. We’re delighted with our girl’s accomplishments!
Now that we are finished the shows season with Naida, we look forward to welcoming her own precious kittens planned for later this year. She is so full of affection and gentleness, we are sure she will adore motherhood.
We anticipate Naida’s kittens will be exceptionally gorgeous, sweet, confident, affectionate, and friendly, just like their outstanding momma Naida.

Karolina happily showed off her charismatic personality full of purrs and silliness for the TICA judges at her debut show at just 8 months of age. She earned her Double Grand Championship (DGC), even placing Best AllBreed Cat in show with one of the judges. Karolina helped her daddy Elizar achieve his Outstanding Sire and her momma Elizaveta her Outstanding Dam with TICA. We’re so proud of all our darling queen accomplished in that one show weekend and look forward to bringing her back to show in future years.
We are thrilled Karolina has taken to motherhood with loving pride from the moment she welcomed her first kittens to our home. Karolina’s best friend, Lapushka, loved giving both momma Karolina and her seven sweet kittens lots of kisses and baths and snuggles, supporting Karolina alongside us in raising her gorgeous kittens.

Marissa adores curling up in our arms like a little spoon to sleep at night. She is endlessly sweet and affectionate. She purrs on a dime, whether we glance in her directions, tell her how beautiful she is, pet her just the way she likes, or snuggle her close. As loving and affectionate as Marissa is, she is also incredibly curious and playful, making us laugh and scratch our heads at her silly antics. This queen is an utter delight.
Whenever she wants to grab our attention to play with her, Marissa scratches her cat tree while looking at us until we make eye contact and praise her impressive strength. She knows how to get what she wants! And we’re thrilled.
