In essence, a Russian Blue cat is only a pure Russian Blue cat when you have a registered and legal pedigree paper saying so. Also, you say that the kittens are not full Russian Blue pedigree, so in this instance you cannot, for ethical reasons, sell and advertise the kittens for sale as full Russian Blues. The general public are quite savvy about what they know and want when they are specifically looking for a pedigree cat as they will be looking for full pedigree papers that have been issued by TICA, CFA ACFA or other legitimate international cat governing bodies, breeder/new owner contracts which guarantee the health and upbringing of the kitten to be vet checked, vaccinated, wormed, house trained and some people even ask that the kitten is already and correctly microchipped and neutered. (All this costs hundreds of dollars per kitten). because your kittens are not full Russian Blue, they are basically a mixed breed and not a pure breed, so you cannot charge for rehoming them, except for a nominal amount so that you are guaranteeing the kittens a good home as people who want to give a kitten a good home will pay a nominal fee. This is a good way of making sure the kittens don't go to abusive homes or used for things worse like laboratory experimentation kittens. The world has enough BYB breeders contributing to the overpopulation of unwanted kittens and cats, so do your Russian Blue girl a favour for her healthwise and you from the trouble of kitten home hunting and get her spayed asap. PS I am a registered breeder of Maine Coons and I would never breed any of my Maine **** girls to any other breed. This is unethical and you are not doing the breed any favours by diluting the breed pedigree. The whole point of being an ethical breeder is to maintain and improve that particular breed's health, temperament and conformation. Leave breeding to those who know how to do it correctly and ethically!!

Hi there,

I found a site of registered breeders of Russian Blue's in Australia, and will attach in the source list.

Maybe you could give the ones in QLD a call and see if they can at least point you in the right direction, if they can't help you themselves.

Good luck finding your new family member.

Ah, now that's if you are in Brisbane Australia.....if elsewhere in the world.....sorry!
