AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: SANDY
Sandy is a beautiful almost 5 year old cream tabby purebred Siberian. Sandy has been in a foster home for quite some time
now as she has a Grade II heart murmur. She has had 2 echos and her results are on the higher side of normal. Her last echo
was 12/07 with a slight change. She does come from a Siberian line with probable HCM. She is not on medications and she exhibits
NO symptoms. We have waited until she has had a 2nd echo to put her up for adoption. Her vaccines are current and she tests
negative for FeLv. She is a bit shy but will sit on your lap when she wants to. She has a tendency to matt and needs weekly
combing, she likes to be groomed. She is front declawed. Sandy has had urinary crsytals in her past but has not had any since
being in foster care. Sandy has free run in the foster home and is pretty much a loner when it comes to the other cats in
the home as well as the dog. She pretty much stays between two rooms- spending most of her day on the bed. She is a talker
and chirps a lot. Sandy deserves a home of her own- with no other cats and no dogs, or children- she needs an understanding
owner that will allow her to be herself and not expect a lot of interaction. We do not know if Sandy will get HCM as she ages
, she very well could but she also may not. She will have to be monitored closely by a vet to watch for any cardiac changes
in the future. She is being fostered in Maine and will be adopted out only to a person who is within driving distance of the
foster home. If you are interested please e mail.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Effective January 1, 2008 the Board of Directors of the Siberian Cat Rescue Group will begin the disbanding process of this
group. This decision has come after months of thought and discussion and has not come easily. We want to thank those who
have been supportive of our efforts over the last 5 1/2 years. We are especially grateful to the adoptive owners of our kitties.
You are a very caring group of folks who have adopted our cats, most of which have had their own set of problems and have
helped them to find love and peace in your homes.
501 (c) (3) tax exempt public charity recognized by the IRS
established 2002
We operate solely on donations. Our adoption fee is $175.00 , most of the time it barely covers medical
expenses.
Siberian Cat Rescue was re-formed in June of 2002 under the name of Siberian Cat Rescue Group when Ivan our first rescue kitty was
located in a shelter and needed some assistance in finding a new home. SCRG will also assist in the rehoming of
Siberians if the owner is no longer able to keep their kitties rather than have one turned into a shelter. We encourage
breeders and pet owners alike to please let their family members know we are here if you should become incapacitated or in
the event of a death we would be able to assist in the placement of your cats. SCRG is a non-profit
organization. We are run by a Board of Directors with volunteers from all over assisting us in placement, fostering
and what ever else needs to be done. Our major fund raising is done through our fund raising page and through generous
donations from the Siberian community. This breed is becoming very popular and with this will come the need for Siberian
Cat Rescue.
WHAT IS A SIBERIAN CAT?..... A bit of history.
Siberian Cats were first imported from Russia into the United States by
Elizabeth Terrell of Starpoint Cattery in Louisiana in June of 1990. The Siberian is the native cat of Russia.
A Siberian is a long haired cat coming in all colors and patterns. They are a medium large cat with a large round head
with rounded ears and eyes and a very hefty body although some pet quality Siberians may lack this heft. Photos of Siberians
will appear throughtout this web site, some photos will be of show quality Siberians and some of pet quality so you may see
some of the differences. SCRG will concentrate its efforts on all Siberians in the United States and Canada as the need
arises.
SCRG is very grateful to those " friends" of the Siberian
Cat who have sent and continue to send very generous donations. We also want to thank the "unknown" angels who sent
food to our foster home during our puppy mill rescue of 6 Siberians cats and kittens in September 2002. These donations
make it possible for us to continue our work helping other Siberians who may need our assitance in the future.
