Testimonials

Comments from new Sapphirensteel kitten owners:

A big thankyou to all who have sent these kind words to me:

Dear Denise,
Thank you very much for all your help in testing our 'allergies'. I was very anxious, but so far so good, as neither my daughter or I have had any reaction. This is especially promising as the pollen index has shot right up, and this usually works on a cumulative basis and therefore means trouble.

Having wanted a cat for as long as I can remember it is absolutely fantastic to have him and he is everything you described and much, much more. To be honest I still can't really believe it and keep expecting to be ill!

Thank you for all of your help - I would say that throughout all of my contact with you the thing that has really come over the strongest, (and the reason that I decided to have my cat from you), is that you really do love cats, and surely this is the most important thing of all.

Best Wishes,
Steve Watton (and Kimba)

Dear Denise,
Regarding our experience purchasing your kittens, it couldnt have been better. The weekly contact, photos and updates were fabulous so we could see them growing up. We felt like we knew them when we came to collect them. Everything was so professional, with all the photos burnt onto a CD, and all their insurance and paperwork completed. We had an A1 experience and I would recommend or act as a reference for any prospective purchaser from you.

Thankyou so much for everything,
Jenna (and Pheobe and Sparticus)

Dear Denise,
We would like to say how delighted we are with Casimir. He has completely taken over our house and everything revolves around him (even our dog). My husband suffers from an allergy to cats but Denise dealt with this by encouraging him to spend time within her house full of cats and kittens, which he did without anyside effects. It's lovely to see him with Cazzy snuggled up to his face andboth of them enjoying the experience.

Our beautiful boy is loving and affectionate and I'm convinced this is because Denise is herself loving and affectionate to all her kittens. What Denise doesn't know about this breed is not worth knowing and I am so pleased we've taken a Siberian into our home and couldn't imagine life without him now."

Thanks again,
Trish xx (and Casimir)

Dear Denise,
We found Sapphirensteel completely by accident whilst looking for Siberian breeders on the Internet,and what a massive stroke of good fortune that was, as I doubt that there's a more conscientious breeder in the country. Denise has bent over backwards to help us out with our new additions to the family, including giving a wealth of advice that's helped me personally overcome my cat allergy so I can love and enjoy our kittens to the upmost. Lots of other really nice touches like a weekly email with news and photo's of your pending additions which was really appreciated, as well as the larger number of photo's on a CD so you can see how your youngster has been progressing.

The kittens have been an absolute credit to her as they've been amazing well looked after, and prepared. I couldn't believe that a kitten in a strange home would go straight off to sleep the first night that the lights are turned out and the house was quite, but they did! I couldn't believe that new kittens would go and use the litter tray straight away and have no accidents at all from day 1, but they did! the list goes on and on, quite simply they are loving, settled kittens that have brought nothing but fun to the house. If you're in any doubt, don't be as they have fantastic personality's. For example, Tubb's favourite game is fetch! 'Fetch'....from a cat!!!......and that's before even mentioning the chirruping that greets you first thing in a morning, or when he's hungry!

Thankyou so much.

Many regards,
Mark, Jane (and Crockett and Tubbs)


Sapphirensteel Adlesha (Truffles)
Denise, we all want to say a HUGE THANK YOU for "Truffles" our new Siberian kitten. It's the best thing we ever did by getting her, I have had many cats over the years but never a Siberian, everything you have said about this breed is spot on. I can honestly say I have never ever known a cat like her, she loves to be cuddled constantly she chats away when you talk to her she chases the boys around the house not the other way round! she is so much fun to watch. To top it all she is completely litter trained how cool is that?.

When we brought her home I expected to be up through the night with her but no she settled within hours of bringing her home she is such a happy cat.

You really are a "cat" lover no one who knows or has bought kittens from you will ever dispute that. It was so nice to see all the kittens in the home enviroment and not caged up. Thank you so much for producing such a wonderful kitten for us and of course thanks to Annie and Boris for their big part in all of this too!. I remember you saying to me that "Siberians are addictive you will want another" never a true word spoken I think we will!!.

Sapphirensteel Adrik (Oscar)
Oscar settled in straight away. Always uses the litter tray and only ever scratches his scratching post. Nothing else ! My furniture will last for years !! I'd also like to say that the service provided is excellent. Continuous updates from Dee and also very good support i.e. pictures, jabs, toys, food, microchip etc. Very good and takes some of the worry about doing it yourself away from you. You provide a perfectly house trained and healthy kitten.

I've always kept cats since being a small child whether they were moggies or special breeds, but until i discovered the Siberian i never knew a cat could have such a strong character. Ivan is my first siberian and he the most loving affectionate cat i have ever owned. his personality just gets bigger and better as he grows and boy is he growing. he loves being with us and follows me round just like a dog. when i get in from work he's always there with his tail in the air and lots of affection ( and numerous toys, socks,shoes and other things hes found around the house to give to me). water is his his new found joy he loves getting in the sink and has even started to put his paws in my bath! i loved the breed so much i have now put a deposit on my second siberian!

We got information about the breed from the internet however on speaking to Dee we gained so much more knowledge. I have never known any breeder to be so passionate about her cats. Its not a hobby or a job to Dee its as if the cats are her life. She knows everything about the breed you could ever need to know and has so many tips and ideas to pass on! But the thing what will make me return to her and recommend to others is the way she knows every single one of her cats traits and likes and dislikes, the way she has so much time for every one of them and the after care she offers to you. We have and will have to come so many hours of joy from our babies and we can only thank you for giving us that pleasure and for making our lives all the richer for it.

Sapphirensteel raise their kittens in a loving environment (spoiled rotten by denise!) and the service offered is second to none. We would definitely recommend Sapphirensteel to anyone looking for a Siberian breeder. Our kitten settled in straight away and is even getting on well with our existing cat (once she was shown who was boss!).

Sapphirensteel Athos (Dooku)
new owner Katherine Anyway Dooku is absolutely brilliant. He has grew quite big, his fur has turned slightly beige like you said it would. I would just like to say what an absolute delight Dooku is to us. We call him our little baby because he cries when he wants attention (which is all of the time). He will be 1 on 03.07.06 and we are having a little tea party as he loves to be around lots of people. I also take him to my mums and he loves it there because he knows he gets treats. Can I just say that Dooku is the most friendliest happy loving cat I have ever known. He talks and purrs constantly and loves to part of the family, I cant remember life without him. He has the most beautiful big blue eyes and greets you at the door by rolling over waiting for his tickle. May I take this opportunity to thank you for bringing Dooku in our lives. I know it must be so hard when you let them go but he has brought so much happiness into our lives. Everything you said about Siberians cats was exactly correct and you can tell the cats are well looked after by the smiles on their faces and Dooku had a big smile when he came to us and remains to smile.

I would recommend anyone genuine to purchase a Siberian as they really are one of the family and a best friend. I hope you continue to breed Siberians as I know other people will be equally as happy as I am, when a Siberian comes into their lives.
