Everything you need to know about Siamese cats and adopting from BellaBi Cattery
Siamese cats are one of the oldest and most recognizable cat breeds, known for their striking blue almond-shaped eyes, distinctive pointed coloring, and sleek, elegant bodies. They are extremely vocal and social, often described as "dog-like" in their loyalty and desire to be involved in everything their owners do. Siamese cats are highly intelligent, playful, and form strong bonds with their human families.
Yes! Siamese cats are excellent family pets and typically do very well with children and other pets. Their playful, social nature makes them great companions for kids who treat them respectfully. They also tend to get along well with other cats and even dogs, especially when properly introduced. Siamese cats thrive in active households where they receive plenty of attention and interaction.
Siamese cats require significant attention and interaction. They don't like being left alone for long periods and can become lonely or anxious without companionship. They're perfect for people who work from home or families where someone is usually around. Many Siamese owners find that having two cats keeps them entertained and happy. They love to "talk" to their owners, follow them around, and be involved in daily activities.
Siamese cats have short, fine coats that require minimal grooming. Weekly brushing is usually sufficient to keep their coat healthy and reduce shedding. They are naturally clean cats and groom themselves regularly. Regular nail trimming, ear cleaning, and dental care are recommended, just like with any cat. Their low-maintenance coat is one of the many advantages of the breed.
Siamese cats are known for being outgoing, affectionate, and extremely social. They are very vocal and will "converse" with their owners using a range of distinctive sounds. They're highly intelligent and can learn tricks, play fetch, and even walk on a leash. Siamese cats are curious and love to explore, climb, and investigate everything in their environment. They form deep bonds with their families and are incredibly loyal companions.
Siamese cats are generally healthy, but like all breeds, they can be prone to certain conditions. These may include respiratory issues, dental problems, and progressive retinal atrophy. At BellaBi Cattery, we conduct thorough health screenings and genetic testing to ensure our breeding cats are healthy. All kittens receive veterinary checkups, vaccinations, and come with health guarantees. With proper care, Siamese cats typically live 15-20 years or more.
Our kittens go to their new homes at a minimum of 12-13 weeks old. This allows them sufficient time with their mother and littermates to develop proper social skills, receive all necessary vaccinations, and be fully weaned. At this age, kittens are confident, well-socialized, and ready to bond with their new families. Each kitten will be litter trained, eating solid food independently, and have had a thorough veterinary examination before going home.
Siamese cats have a temperature-sensitive gene that causes "points" - darker coloring on their cooler body parts (face, ears, paws, and tail). Common point colors include seal (dark brown), blue (gray), chocolate (lighter brown), and lilac (pinkish-gray). All Siamese kittens are born white and develop their point colors as they grow. The contrast between body and points becomes more pronounced as they mature, and their colors can darken with age or in cooler environments.
To reserve a kitten, please contact us through our website or by phone to discuss available or upcoming litters. We require a non-refundable deposit to hold your kitten. We carefully screen potential families to ensure our kittens go to loving, responsible homes. We'll guide you through the entire process, answer all your questions, and keep you updated with photos and videos as your kitten grows. We also provide ongoing support after you take your kitten home.
Yes! Siamese cats often get along very well with dogs, especially when introduced properly and gradually. Their confident, social nature and high energy levels make them compatible with many dog breeds. In fact, Siamese cats often enjoy playing with dogs and can form strong friendships. Our kittens are raised in a home environment and can be socialized with dogs if you have one. Always supervise initial meetings and introduce pets slowly for the best results.
