Question

Thanks for you help and enjoy the points

Answer 1

I work in cat rescue and right now our shelter has about 4 pure-bred or mixed Siamese, all in need of a good home.
But if you're 100% set on getting one from a breeder, check out the Cat Fancier's Association's breeder referral list:

<<<<< p.s. apple head flame-point purebred shelter kitty!

Answer 2

How horrible for some evil person to have done that to those kittens! Sick! You're right to be confused about that vet's comment. The confusion lies in that the word Siamese is used in different ways: 1. the breed of cat, 2. the coat color pattern , or the allele causing the pattern. Many people call any cat (or at least any shorthaired cat) with that coloring "Siamese" - Some of them know it's not a genuine Siamese but just colloquially use the term to mean a cat with that coloring. Others mistakenly believe that ANY cat (or any shorthaired cat) with that coloring is a "purebred" Siamese, or that it must be at least have a parent who is a "purebred Siamese". Breed: Siamese is definitely a breed of cats, a very old natural breed that have been in Thailand (formerly called "Siam") for many centuries. They were first imported to Western countries in the late 1800s and have since then been bred there and became very popular in the 20th century. A cat is a genuine Siamese if it has Siamese parents registered with a reputable pedigree registry. and it would also have other characteristics of the breed such as a short single coat. Colorpoint pattern genetic variation: "Siamese" coat color pattern ( also known as the Himalayan pattern or the colorpoint pattern) IS a genetic variation , a mutation of tyrosinase . It is a form of partial albinism in which the color of the coat is inhibited and restricted to only the coolest parts of the body -- the "points", and the eyes are blue. The most common color is the "seal point" where the points are very dark brown. A seal point is genetically a black cat with the addition that it also has inherited from each of its parents the colorpoint/ "Siamese" allele (cs) . Having that coloring does NOT mean a cat is a Siamese, or is half Siamese. Actually, a stray cat in a Western country with that color coat pattern would probably have only a very very tiny amount of Siamese genes that got mixed into the domestic cat population over the last century or so that these unusually colored cats have been in the West. And it's also possible that it came from the same mutation happening in some other domestic cats who had 0% Siamese in them at all. By saying the kitten looks like it is "going to be Siamese" the vet means he looks like he is going to develop the coat color pattern. Kittens with this color pattern are born white or cream colored , coming from the heat of the womb, and gradually the color shows up on the "points". As they get older the body often darkens, especially if they live in a cool climate, Usually the part that stays lightest is the chest which is the warmest. Good luck with the kittens - Best would be to find a lactating mother cat who would accept them. Otherwise it is going to be a huge job to hand raise them with round the clock feedings, needing to keep them warm, etc.

Please consider checking out your Local Animal Shelters. Most will let you fill in a sheet requesting a specific breed. Many of the convicted animals there are pure breeds. I had adopted a Main Coon from the Humane Society, wonderful cat! If you cannot overcome your need to have a piece of paper proving your cats heritage, than please look for a home breeder who only keeps a few cats. Ask to visit the home of the breeder, good ones won't mind, better ones won't give you an animal if you don't ask to. A small population produces better temperamented animals, and where Siamese are concerned, every advantage counts! Good Luck, and remember, you're looking for a companion, not a trophy!

Answer 4

I had a wonderful applehead Siamese who was not pure-breed. I think if you did a search for Siamese rescue you might find a wonderful cat who is in need of a new home. The rescue group might also know of breeders you could contact.

The appleheads are considered less preferable than the other Siamese. You can check shelters in your area. When I volunteered in adoptions applications were kept on file from people who were looking for a special type of cat.

I got my applehead as a kitten and adopted him along with his foster buddy who is an orange tabby. That was through a newspaper ad.

Answer 5

I can't help you with breeders, but if you are looking for a pet, check out www.petfinder.org You can find purebred cats and dogs to rescue from shelters and humane societies.

Answer 6

Look in the back of Cat Fancy magazine. You'll find a long list of breeders there.
Any breed of cat you want will be in there.

Answer 7

Always opt to adopt. Lots of kitties need homes whether they are a purebred or not. Besides, mutts are the most fun!
