Our Story
Golden Sunshine Siberians represents the newest chapter in a breeding program that began in 2002.
For more than two decades, we have been dedicated to breeding healthy, affectionate, well-socialized Siberians with exceptional temperaments. Over the years, our fascination with the rare Sunshine and Sunshine Silver colours continued to grow until it became the natural next step in the evolution of our breeding program.
Every breeding decision is still based on the principles that have shaped our program for more than twenty years: health first, temperament second, and beauty and breed type third.
If you would like to read the complete story of how our breeding program began - from wildlife rehabilitation to more than twenty years of breeding Siberian cats - we invite you to visit our sister cattery, Mindeelyn Siberians.
Our Breeding Philosophy
At Golden Sunshine Siberians, our passion is the rare and beautiful Sunshine and Sunshine Silver Siberian cat.
While this website focuses on these remarkable colours, every kitten we breed is guided by the same principles that have shaped Mindeelyn Siberians for more than twenty years.
The colours may be different, but our priorities have never changed. Health always comes first, followed by temperament. Colour, sex, and appearance are important, but they are never allowed to take precedence over producing healthy, confident, affectionate companions.
Every breeding is carefully planned with the future of our breeding program in mind. We continually evaluate our breeding cats, study pedigrees and make thoughtful decisions that will strengthen future generations while preserving the outstanding health, temperament and beauty that define the Siberian breed.
We are also committed to selecting for the hypoallergenic qualities for which Siberians are well known, with the hope that more families can experience the joy of being owned by a cat.
