(N)Siberikos FeLine of Pendraig & Gabriel Campbell

After a long flight for FeLine that spanned two days and half the globe we are overjoyed to welcome this beautiful and sweet Siberian Kitten into our home, our family and our cattery. She is everything we hoped for with beauty, grace, wonderful coat texture and promising type. She is so beautiful and sweet, sitting patiently in our toddler’s often overeager arms and building a new bond that I know will be something he remembers fondly one day.

We cannot thank Kristin Bolme of Siberikos Siberian Cats enough for this wonderful, amazing and loving cat. She is not only an important part of our family and our hearts now but a crucial part of the future of our cattery as we continue to embrace and celebrate the traditional type Siberian Cat.

It is our hope to show her here in the USA and help gain more exposure for traditional type Siberian cats in the CFA and TICA show halls. Her darling personality is an extra bonus for us that can only be the result of fantastic care by a loving breeder who puts everything she has into raising wonderful cats. Thank you, Kristin. We love her with all of our hearts. Gabriel is especially happy as you can see here in these photos we took today.

Feline’s flight was blessedly uneventful, as far as we know, and her flight arrived on time to Houston.  We had an easy time getting her final paperwork finished and going to the U.S. Customs office to get their approval.  After all of that was done we were able to pick her up.  All in all it took about an hour but we had to travel from here to Houston (3.5 hr drive) and she had to sit in her crate for that as well but she was so sweet and patient.  I am sure she was happy to get a rest in her new room that night and after a quick snuggle by me and my son we let her have her blanket and toys her breeder sent with her.  She ate most of her food and settled right in.  I am always amazed at how well cats take such long travel.  I know if it was me I’d be a little worse for wear. =)

If you are ever considering importing a cat from another country be sure to look up the laws and regulations so that it goes smoothly.  Some countries have special requirements.  When we send Pendraig Nimue Emrys of Siberikos to Norway soon she will have her own journey to undertake but we know she will have the best home, and most loving care with Kristin.

Thank you, FeLine for coming to live with us and all you endured to get here.  We love you! =)
