SIBERIAN
CAT RESCUE GROUP IS DISBANDING
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.
