We Provide Colorpoint Siamese
Welcome to our introduction!
A very curious Love story…
“I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.” – Hippolyte Taine
We are two goal-driven sisters who delight in the company of our feline friends. On our website, you’ll discover details about our available kittens and find answers to any questions you may have about welcoming a lovely furry companion into your home.
Our Available Kittens
What is a Colorpoint Siamese
The Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA) and the World Cat Federation (WCF) classifies this Cat Breed as a Colorpoint Shorthair. A rare variety of Siamese cat. This breed was established from breeding American Shorthairs with the Siamese to produce different point colors, beyond the four standard Siamese colors.
Circa 1948 breeders in the US and UK wished to introduce new colorings into the Siamese. The first Colorpoint Shorthair was bred from a red (ginger) tabby American Shorthair and a seal point Siamese. Resulting in creams and red Colorpoint Siamese. By 1969 the CFA would allow lynx and tortoiseshell point colorings.
At Tender Kittens, our practice breeds one male Pedigree Siamese with a female American Shorthair —specifically red, in order to complied with the breeding standards from both Associations.
Why bring home a Colorpoint
Siamese cats are often referred to as the “dogs” of the cat world. They are known for their vocal nature, affectionate behavior, and extremely tame and loyal demeanor. A non-aggressive cat is what most cat owners are looking for and a Colorpoint Siamese is exactly that. A type of cat who will not run away from you when you pet it and a lap cat when you want it to be.
Colorpoint Siamese are considered “Hypoallergenic Cats” producing lower levels of the proteins that trigger allergies. However, taken in consideration that There is no such thing as a completely hypoallergenic cat, all cats produce allergens in their fur, saliva, and urine, according to PetMD.
Colorpoints are highly intelligent and can easily learn to play games like fetch or use the toilet, much like Our Siamese we’ll introduce later.
Nutrition
During the first initial weeks of life, we allow the mother cat to nourish her kittens. As they grow, we gradually introduce them to solid food. Our kittens particularly delight in the Super Premium Dry Food for Cats, specifically Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® Real Salmon & Brown Rice Recipe. We take precaution knowing excessive treat consumption can lead to weight gain and potential dental issues. However, there is a category of treats specifically designed to promote good oral hygiene: teeth cleaning treats. GREENIES Feline Dental Cat Treats™ serve a dual purpose by providing a flavorful reward while also helping to keep our cats’ teeth clean.
Development
Proper nutrition and exercise play a vital role in the development of kittens. It is crucial to prioritize a well-balanced diet and regular physical activity. As a result, the kittens will exhibit high levels of energy and independence. Their agility and coordination will reach their full potential as they grow and mature. As kittens transition into adolescence, it is natural for their energy levels to undergo changes, much like children entering their teen years. While young kittens are known for their boundless energy and playful antics, as they mature, their energy levels tend to decrease gradually.
Optimal Hybrid
To promote the longevity of our cats, we intentionally breed our male Siamese with female American Shorthair. This crossbreeding approach is designed to extend their lifespan. Purebred pets, such as cats and even dogs, can be prone to health issues stemming from limited recessive genes. These genes may contribute to physical deformities, respiratory and vision problems, and a shortened lifespan, necessitating expensive medical care in the future. To address these concerns, we aim to introduce genetic diversity. Our goal is to improve the overall health and well-being of our cats, providing them with a better chance of a longer and healthier life.
