About 

Kender is one of the oldest names in Siberian Cats in the U.S.  We imported our very first breeding cat, Karoline Abakan, in 1992.  We are  the longest continuous breeder/exhibitor of Siberians in the United States.  Experience matters.

Kender is committed to temperament.
​Kender is a home based cattery and our kittens are raised in the household with other cats, kids, and all the family chaos you'd expect.  We're proud that our kittens go home socialized to be great members of their new family.

Kender is committed to health. 
​Our breeding cats are tested for the genetic diseases of PKD and PK Def by DNA and HCM via ultrasound.  We are proud to be one of the original members of The Siberian Cat Health Group and database.  We continue to submit the results of our cats' tests so they can be made public. We believe strongly in helping the breed by making information on health in breeding readily accessible.

Kender is committed to great Siberian looks
Our Siberian Cats are shown extensively in CFA.  We are committed to breeding Siberians that retain strong Siberians type.  We know not everyone is looking for a show cat, but we also know a Siberian should look Siberian.  We take pride in our achievements in the show ring and we support the cat fancy.
