About us

I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the countryside at my grandparents' home, I was always surrounded by animals of all kinds. That is where I learned the basics of breeding, witnessing the birth and growth of various domestic animals. Most importantly, it was there that my deep love for animals was born—a bond so strong that I cannot imagine my life without them. When I moved to the city, I felt the void left by that connection. I shared my life with several pets until I brought home my first Siberian cat, Cassie. It was then that I discovered their extraordinary beauty, temperament, and uniqueness, falling head over heels in love with the breed. This passion led me to combine my devotion to animals with my desire to be surrounded by them, turning it into a life project: a boutique cattery dedicated to traditional Siberian and Neva Masquerade cats, named Imperial Line. The name Imperial Line has a special story. While traveling through Romania and visiting the majestic Peleș Castle in Sinaia, I decided to give my cattery a strong and meaningful identity. The name evokes an imaginary "imperial line" that represents my ambition: selecting high-quality Siberians from excellent bloodlines worldwide, studying their genetics, and creating a unique lineage that embodies beauty, hypoallergenic qualities, health, and strict adherence to breed standards. Today, this dream is a reality. With every kitten born, I strive to honor that vision, offering the world cats that are not only stunning but also reflect the passion, dedication, and respect I pour into every step of my work.

1. High standards and passion From day one, we have set very high standards for the selection, breeding, and care of our cats. We don't simply "breed cats"; we place the well-being and development of healthy, happy specimens with a unique character at the heart of our work. 2. A family environment for our cats All our cats live with us in our home, never in cages. To us, every cat is a member of the family. We treat them with love and respect, and welcome them into our daily lives. Once their breeding career is over, they stay with us or our family forever, enjoying the peace and affection they deserve. 3. Socialization and docile temperament We pay close attention to starting the socialization of kittens from their very first day. Thanks to this commitment, our kittens develop an affectionate, playful, and particularly docile temperament, typical of the Siberian breed. This allows our kittens to adapt easily to their new families, bringing serenity and joy to every home. 4. Champion potential Our ambition is not only to breed healthy cats but to raise kittens that have the potential to become champions. We carefully select every mating, aiming for specimens that best represent the breed and can compete successfully in cat shows. 5. Respecting our ethical values Respecting the dignity and well-being of every cat is fundamental to us. For this reason, we never sell kittens to individuals or breeders who keep them in cages or substandard conditions. We firmly believe that every animal deserves a loving environment where they can grow, socialize, and live happily. 6. Ongoing education and support We don't just provide a kitten; we commit to standing by the families who choose to welcome one of our kittens. We offer continuous support, answering questions, giving advice, and following the kitten's growth to ensure they settle well into their new home. 7. Commitment to health and well-being The health of our cats is our absolute priority. We are committed to ensuring that every kitten is perfectly healthy before being rehomed. We closely monitor the health of our cats with regular veterinary check-ups and ensure every kitten is vaccinated, dewormed, and ready for a long and happy life. 8. Awareness and respect for the breed We want to raise awareness among our clients regarding the characteristics of the Siberian breed and its specific needs. Educating people on how to properly care for a Siberian cat, respecting its nature and requirements, is an essential value for us. 9. Selective breeding To ensure we give every cat the care and love they deserve, we only breed a few specimens. This allows us to dedicate the right amount of attention to each one. 10. Social responsibility We believe in the importance of supporting less fortunate animals. Our passion for Siberian cats does not limit us from loving, appreciating, and above all, helping other animal species. Therefore, we regularly contribute, within our means, with donations to shelters and organizations that care for animals in need. It is our way of giving back some of the love that every animal deserves.

To ensure our cattery adheres to the high standards we have set, we periodically participate in cat shows. Unlike some breeders, our current goal is not to amass the highest number of awards and titles; doing so would require frequent travel, including abroad, which would cause undue stress for our cats. Instead, we prefer to have each of our cats participate at least once in an event to highlight their strengths and identify any areas for improvement. This helps us refine our breeding practices and maintain the excellence of our cats over time. Being judged by experts who evaluate temperament, conformation, coat, and color, we believe it is essential to preserve the standards of the Siberian and Neva Masquerade breeds. The evaluations received during cat shows provide us with invaluable insights on how to improve and maintain the quality of our cats, ensuring that every kitten meets the high requirements for beauty and temperament expected of the breed.

From the moment we discovered this extraordinary breed, we fell in love with its affectionate, calm, yet energetic nature. Every cat is raised in a loving and stimulating environment, receiving constant care and attention focused on both their physical and emotional well-being. We believe that a good start is essential for a long and serene life, and we are committed to carefully monitoring the health and development of our kittens. Our goal is to allow more people to discover and love Siberian cats, finding the perfect family for each kitten. We are very selective about who welcomes one of our kittens, ensuring they grow up in a peaceful environment filled with affection and responsible care. As a small-scale cattery driven by love for this breed, we focus on quality over quantity, dedicating all the time and love necessary to guarantee each kitten's happiness and health—and we expect the same from their future families. We take great pride in our work and the special bond we create with the families who welcome our kittens. Every cat that leaves our cattery carries not only the beauty of the breed but also the love and dedication we pour into every stage of their growth. We hope that more and more people can enjoy the unique and extraordinary companionship of a Siberian cat, experiencing the same joy that this wonderful breed brings to our lives every day.
