Photo of Inspurrations Lukas, a Brown McTabby male, and his new best friend Leah, a Miniature Scotch Terrier! This BEAUTIFUL photo was taken by and credited to Loretta Diana Selby of Diana Photo Graphics (www.dianaphotographics.com). We are so happy that Loretta and Jack Selby adopted Lukas and are providing him with a wonderful, loving home! Many thanks to Loretta and Jack for taking great care of Lukas, and for providing this amazing picture and testimonial!
When my wife, and I decided to raise pets again, we both
wanted to make sure first, whether we were ready to handle, and properly care
for them. She picked the breed of dog she wanted, a miniature scotch terrier,
and named her Leah. I did some research on the web to find the breed of cat I
wanted, and the Siberian cat met all of my requirements.
Fortunately, I found Jackie’s website; “Inspurrations
Cattery” and was glad to have made immediate contact with Jackie, the breeder,
by e-mail. My wife and I went to meet the Siberian kitten I had picked through
many pictures sent to us, fell in love with him and named him, Lukas the cat. We
were very impressed with the way Jackie had her breeding environment for her
cats set up in a clean, and practical setting right in her home. She was very
informative about the proper caring of our new kitten, and kept very accurate up
to date records on all of her kittens. We were able to arrange our scheduled
pickup date for Lukas to come home with us, and to meet his new friend, Leah;
the dog. On the first day of arriving home, Lukas was very timid
of me, but he immediately took to my wife. My wife handled the introduction of
the dog and cat, and within a short time, she was holding both of them together
on her lap. By the next day, they were both playing together, and enjoying each
others company. Now, I was a different story, because Lukas took a couple
of days before he got to trust me, and let me hold him. Of course, I was the one
who swept Lukas away from all of his siblings, mother, and Jackie, the breeder
who provided his birth home, and tender loving care. I
realized, anytime someone brings any pet home to an all new different
environment, there is an adjustment period, but in a very short time we all
became one big happy family. Lukas is the most
affectionate cat we've ever experienced and Lukas and Leah are the best of
friends. Jack & Loretta Selby / Hometown, Pennsylvania
Note from Inspurrations: Always remember that kittens miss their mothers and siblings when they arrive at your home. They have been swooped away from the only environment they have ever known and placed in an unfamiliar, and scary (at first), world. It takes them all a few days to get comfortable with everyone and settle in. Be patient and understanding. Get down on their level, talk in a gentle voice, keep the noises down at first, engage them in play. Give them all of the love and attention they deserve, as well as a little time and space. You will soon have a PURRFECT kitten to love and cherish!
Inspurrations Marcolini! (aka Marco), Brown McTabby
male, pictured in his new home in New York! As you can see, Marco has
been getting all of the love and attention he deserves since the day he
arrived (when he was placed next to his adorable stuffed friend with
very similar markings for his first pictures)! These gorgeous photos
and very sweet testimonial were sent in by, and credited to, NM of NY. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Marco and for
all of the accolades!! We are thrilled Marco is with you, loved and I
see has great structures to climb on!
First off, Jackie is just fantastic. She is both informative and caring, and
will ALWAYS take the time out to answer your questions and make you feel at
ease. She must exude the same calming and caring aura to her kittens, because
Marcolini is (and i know everyone says this, but in this case it's true) the
BEST kitten in the world. His 100% trusting personality makes it clear that he
was extremely well loved and cared for. He is beautiful inside and out, and his
personality is both loving and playful - perfection. His loud purr is the most
soothing noise, and he's by far the best alarm clock - gentle yet to the point!
:)
Bottom line: Jackie is the best of the best and Marco is a reflection of
it. Thank you Jackie - Marco is a heart-stealer. NM / New York
Inspurrations Katara! (also seen in our kitten photo section), is a Black McTabby
with White female, and is pictured below in her new home in New York! .... where she is being properly spoiled, receiving all the love and attention she can handle! Katara is providing a family that has allergies with a wonderful pet, that may not have been possible otherwise! We are so happy that Kelly and her family are taking such wonderful care of Katara and send our sincere thanks for giving Katara a wonderful life..........and for this gorgeous picture and complimentary testimonial! She is growing into such a beautiful girl!
Hi Jackie, My son and I are allergic to cats and have had not even a minor
reaction. Katara sleeps with me and cuddles right up to my face and licks me.
Not even a sniffle. She is truly hypoallergenic. Katara's personality is
beyond what I expected. She is very loving and affectionate. I am very happy
with her and can't imagine life without her. Thanks so much for doing such a great job with her. She is a wonderful addition to our family. Kelly
- NY P.S. My vet was very taken with Katara. He wasn't too
familiar with Siberians. After he met her the first time, he researched them
and recommended one for his own sister.
Inspurrations Briggsy! (also shown as a baby on our kitten photo pages), is a handsome Red McTabby male pictured below both alone, and with one of his loving owners, Arianna, waking up with her in the morning! These Purrfect photos were taken by and credited to Rhonda Mordy. We are so happy that the Mordy family is taking such amazing care of Briggsy! Many thanks to all of you and for these wonderful photos and great testimonial!
Hello from the Mordy's &
Briggsy!
Hi Jackie,
Think of you often & have been meaning to download lots of cute
photos in the camera and send you a note....but accomplished neither- yipes!
Sorry!! (Life crazy busy with end of school year activities.)
Here's are a few sweet pics of "Briggsy" from our computer camera.
(These don't show his typical super happy face & gentle, fun nature.)
Briggsy is the BEST kitten ever!! We so love him!! He's got so much
personality, very people oriented & big friends with Buddie (our cockapoo.)
They play all day & nap together. If Buddie is in his cage, Briggsy will
go over to him & lay down/put his paw on top of Buddie's! They are
amazingly fun together. In fact, Buddie is a lot calmer with Briggsy around.
Briggsy is very friendly and a wonderful addition to our family.
Everyone loves him!! We've had absolutely no complaints, issues or
concerns with him and no problems of any type!! The vet said he was in great
health & gorgeous. All of the staff are crazy about him! He really is just
PURRFECT!! We feel so lucky he's our baby!
Have a great summer!
Best,
Rhonda Mordy
Inspurrations Eli! (also shown as a baby on our
kitten photo pages), is a Black/Brown McTabby male, with wonderful looks! Eli, as you will read below, is also providing someone with allergies a purrfect dog like pet! I greatly appreciate Jill and Erik taking such excellent care of Eli, and the very sweet testimonial! It is clear that Eli is loved!
Eli is by far, the best,
most affectionate cat I have ever owned. I have had cats and been a cat lover
all my life. When I moved in with my boyfriend Erik, who was highly allergic to cats, I knew I
needed to figure something out. I did some research and stumbled upon the
Russian Siberian Breed. I reached out to numerous breeders that were up to a 10
hours away from us. Jackie was one of the quickest to respond and was very
helpful. We asked if we could visit to test Erik’s allergies and she was very accommodating.
During the wait before we
could bring Eli home, which seemed like forever, Jackie kept in close
communication with us, sending us tons of pictures of our soon to be sweetie,
Eli, and constant updates on how he was doing.
When we went to pick up Eli, Jackie explained to us what to expect, that
Eli may be shy and timid the first couple days, as he will miss his mother, and
how to change his food. She gave us Eli’s health records and explained what the
next steps were.
He had been vaccinated
with Distemper, Rhinotracheitis and Calicivirus. As well as being checked for
worms. We took him to the vet to get him his last distemper shot as well as
other vaccinations and checked him for Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Rabies,
Panleukopenia, and Chlamydophila. We also did full blood work to check for other
things such as AIDS, his results came back clean. We also had a stool sample
checked for worms, which also came back clean. The vet said he was one healthy,
handsome, growing kitty! Eli is now such a
playful, energetic, curious kitten. He is also the most affectionate cat I have
ever owned! He has numerous dog like traits such as he greets us a the door,
comes when called, follows us around the house, he constantly needs to be in the
same room as us, plays fetch with his favorite toy (the springs), sleeps in bed
with us every night, loves a good belly rub, loves car rides, and needs to be a
part of what ever activity you are doing.
I love the fact that every night, Eli comes and curls up on my chest or
snuggles up next to me in bed. Which is then, of course, followed by a good
belly rubbing with lots of purring until his purrs slowly fade out and he falls
asleep.
Erik has always been a dog lover, but Eli
has changed his mind. I am very happy to report that Erik is always playing and cuddling up with Eli and
has had no allergic reactions to him. This is great news because normally
Erik just entering a house that owns
a cat will set off an allergic reaction. (it also means we can get another
kitty!)
We just wanted to say
Thank You Jackie for introducing us to our sweetheart,
Eli!

Inspurrations Teddy! (also shown as a baby on our
kitten photo pages), is a great looking Black McTabby with White male pictured below both
alone, and with two of his loving owners, Nicole and Emily! These amazing photos were taken by and credited to Nicole Greenstein. We are so thrilled that Teddy is so loved and adored by his wonderful family! Many thanks to all of you for giving him such a Purrfect life, and to Nicole for these gorgeous photos and such a sweet testimonial! Teddy is also providing a family who has allergies with a loving pet!
Our
family has always loved cats. When we tried to get a cat several years ago,
however, my father was extremely allergic. After that experience we were very
hesitant to get another cat; that is, until we found out about Siberians being
less allergenic than other cats. We contacted Jackie, and she was extremely
helpful in answering any questions we had. She kept us up to date with countless
pictures of our kitten, Teddy, and even personalized the e-mails with cute
captions. Jackie is so amazing – she helped us feel at ease and helped us
prepare to bring Teddy home. Jackie is so sweet – both to her cats and to her
customers!
Teddy
is the perfect kitten. He is so affectionate – every night he comes onto my bed
to cuddle. I wake up to find Teddy resting against my cheek or my arm, purring
loudly. He is also extremely playful! Whenever anyone starts to walk towards one
of his toys, Teddy beats you to it; he makes a running dash for his toys, and
waits eagerly to play. As you can see in this picture, Teddy even helps me write
up my essays on the computer! Everyone comments on his gorgeous looks and his
sweet, playful personality. Most importantly, though, my father isn’t allergic
to Teddy, so we will be able to love Teddy for many years to come! Thank you
Jackie – Teddy has stolen our hearts and he is everything that we could have
asked for.

Inspurrations Maxwell (formerly known as Misha on
the Kitten Photos 1 page) is a beautiful Cream Silver McTabby male. He
has been in his new home in MA with the McNeily family, where he is
loved and cherished...........as every cat should be! :) He is also
helping someone with allergies have a kitty of her dreams, sneeze free!
We appreciate the McNeily family taking such amazing care of Maxwell
and sending us these beautiful pictures (credited to Linda McNeily) and
this wonderful testimonial!
Maxwell will be 7 months old on Sept. 22nd.
He weighs 9 lbs and is a very strong boy. We are having lots of fun with him.
He loves to sit in the sink and play with the water from the faucet. He loves
to drink it, and paw at it and stick his head directly under it. He is really
funny to watch! Attached are some recent photos. You can see how much he has
grown!
He loves to sit on
the back of a chair or the couch right next to my head. That seems to be where
he likes to sleep too…right next to my head. He really loves to cuddle with all
of us. And of course he greets us at the door every night. He is very lovable
and very smart! My allergies seem to be a thing of the past! No itchy eyes and
no runny nose….it is truly amazing!
Congratulations on
your recent marriage! I loved the photo on your website! You are a beautiful
bride! I wish you all the best!
Take
care, Linda / MA
Inspurrations Lila (formerly Lillianna on the Kitten Photos 1 page), is a beautiful Black Silver McTabby female. She is a fan of sports (baseball and water!), of art (music) and, well a little gambling :). The Castle family has provided her with an extremely loving home, with both human and dog companions that she loves to play with. We appreciate the Castle family providing a loving home for Lila and sending in these sweet and funny testimonial and pictures (pictures credited to Sally Castle).
Hello Jackie, Congratulations on your wedding. I cant believe our baby girl is
6 months old today! It has been so fabulous. What a difference she has made in our
home. She really thinks she is one of the "dogs". Currently we are all sitting
on the couch. The dogs on either side of me, Lila on the back of the couch
resting on my shoulder purring so loud you can hear her across the room! She is
simply amazing! She is so smart. And absolutely beautiful. When we went looking
for a cat we told you what we wanted and you helped up pick out which Momma cat
would most likely produce a kitten for our needs. You definitely succeeded! Lila
is absolutely the purrfect cat for us. We fell in love the minute we picked her
up from you, and it hasn't stopped. She is so fun to have around. She sits
in front of the TV and tries to help the red sox by trying to catch the ball. She
tries to help wash dishes and wants to help us brush our teeth, because she loves
to play in the water! I really just cant thank you enough for our wonderful
girl. Someday we may want to get another baby from you. You have amazing cats!
Thanks, Sally / MA
Picture update of Inspurrations Lila, pictured at 7 months old! Still loving water........and looking strikingly more and more like her mother Lollita every day!!
Inspurrations Kyra (formerly known as Chloe on the "kittens for sale" page) is a Black Silver McTorbie female who is now in her new home in PA. Kyra is a very cute little girl, as you can clearly see in the absolutely adorable pictures below (taken by and credited to Tracy Giles)! We are so thankful to Tracy for giving Kyra so much love and happiness! You can surely see what a content, spoiled girl Kyra is! We thank you so much for this great testimonial and these wonderful pictures, Tracy!
Jackie,
I am sure you hear this all the time but Kyra is the best
cat in the world! I fell in love with her immediately. She is so playful and
sweet and has such a great personality. I have to admit in the past I was not
much of a cat person but had heard about Siberians and how unique a breed they
are, I than began to research the breed and stumbled upon your site and after
seeing the pictures and reading the testimonials I decided I HAD to have one.
She loves to snuggle and play, she takes up most of my pillow at night but I
love having her close so I settle for the corner :). You have been so
helpful in answering all my questions and I could not be happier. Thank you so
much!
Sincerely,
Tracy Giles
Inspurrations Mimi (formerly known as Sunny on the Kitten Photos 1 page), is now living in NY with her new loving family! She is a gorgeous Blue Point and is pictured below with her new bird friend, Paulie (pretty amazing!) as well as pictured by herself looking as pretty as can be (pictures taken by and credited to Connie from NY)! Thank you so much, Connie, for giving Mimi such a purrfect, wonderful home filled with love and for sending in these great pictures and testimonial!
Hi Jackie, Just want to let you know that Mimi is doing great. She is
growing longer, and taller. Mimi has brought so much love and joy to my house.
Mimi is good with the bird, Paulie. She loves standing below the cage when
Paulie takes a bath. Paulie is loud and hisses at Mimi when she gets too close,
which kept her away for now. Mimi is so smart, and will come when called. She
waits at the door (most to the time) when we come home. She is such a beautiful,
affectionate and smart girl. She still attacks toes though! or anything that
moves under the blanket. I can't thank you enough for Mimi. We love her more
everyday. Connie - NY
Inspurrations Sammy (Samantha on the "kitten photos 1" page), is a gorgeous Silver McTabby and is living in her loving home in Ohio. Sammy is providing the opportunity for someone with severe allergies to have a loyal, furry companion! The beautiful photos below were taken by and credited to Jen and Rob Smith. Thank you both so much for the wonderful testimonail, photos and for always giving Sammy all the love and attention she deserves!
Jackie
Hey! How are you doing?
Just wanted to send you a couple
pictures of Sammy. We just moved over the weekend to a new house and she did
great!!!!!!! All of our friends and family kept telling us horror stories of
moving their cats and how long it took for them to get adjusted. We were a
little worried, but quickly relieved right away. Rob brought her over the first
night we were staying and we had a lot of friends over at the same time. She
walked right in and started looking everywhere and quickly settled in on a chair
in the living room. Over the past few days she has loved sitting in the windows
and watching all the people and cars outside.
Sammy is such a loving cat
and we can only attribute that to you and how you raise your cats. So THANK YOU
SOOOO MUCH!!! We get compliments all the time about how beautiful and loving she
is. She loves to be in the middle of everything. We recently got her spayed a
few weeks ago and everyone at the vet was in awe of her. They had never seen
such a wonderful cat and were asking so many questions, even other people with
their pets at the vet were admiring Sammy.
We are so happy we have her
and can't imagine not having her in our life.
Thank you! Rob &
Jen Smith - Ohio
Inspurrations Waffle and Inspurrations Muffin (pictured on the "kittens for sale" page) are adorable Black/Brown Silver McTabby females that are living in their new nurturing home in NJ. We are so happy that Waffle and Muffin were able to go to their forever homes together. Waffle and Muffin are providing loving companions to a family who has visitors with allergies who wouldn't be able to visit otherwise. These extremely cute photos were taken by and credited to Cindy and Allen in NJ. We very much appreciate these photos, the wonderful testimonial and we are thankful that your whole family is taking such loving care of these little cuties!
Dear Jackie,
I thought it appropriate to send you a letter to update you
on our wonderful kittens. We have much to be thankful for this holiday season.
In past years, we have had many great cats but none compare to Waffle and
Muffin. From day one they have been sweet gentle animals who want nothing more
that a little playtime, affection and to lie in your lap when they are tired.
We discovered if you brush them with a soft bristle pet brush they purr so loud
it sounds like an idling Mac Truck!
The reason of our purchase of these hypoallergenic cats was
for extended family members who are asthmatic and allergic to cats. So far so
good! Of course, you must put family first but to be able to put them first and
still be able to have a pet makes all the difference in the world to our
immediate family. Now knowing the Siberian breed, I will never own a different
breed. They are far easier then other breeds and really do have that dog like
quality of wanting to be with their owners all the time, the lack of shedding
and loving disposition.
Jackie, I wanted to thank you again for sending us our
weekly photos and updates. Our whole family, from my husband to me and the boys
all loved looking at the pictures daily while we waited for them to arrive.
However, nothing compared to the real thing. We would also like to say thank
you for answering all of our question, of which I know there were many!;o) We
promise to keep you updated as time goes on.
Sincerely,
1 Dad, 1 Mom, 2 boys and 2 very furry girls! - Montville, NJ
