Welcome to Chatterie de Nice, a professional Siberian cat breeder Europe based in Nice, on the French Riviera. Since 2016, our breeding work has been dedicated to Siberian cats of traditional type, with particular attention to morphology, pedigree, temperament and carefully followed ancestry.

Our identity has become closely associated with blue-eyed Siberian cats and odd-eyed Siberian cats. These unusual eyes are visually striking, but they are only one part of our work. A Siberian must first remain a Siberian: substantial, well built, richly coated and balanced in temperament.

For this reason, our selection begins with the complete cat. We consider body structure, bone, paws, head, coat, development, temperament, pedigree and available health information before deciding how an individual may contribute to our traditional Siberian bloodlines.

Our breeding programme is devoted to the traditional Siberian. We preserve traditional Siberian bloodlines without introducing Neva Masquerade blood into our programme. The objective is not to manufacture a fashionable appearance, but to follow rare characteristics through documented traditional ancestry while maintaining the qualities we expect from the Siberian breed.

More than 150 kittens from Chatterie de Nice have already joined families in France and internationally. Today we work both with families looking for a companion and with professional breeders searching for pedigree Siberian cats and selected lines.

Our breeding males and females are the foundation of Chatterie de Nice. We study their morphology, development, temperament and pedigrees because each mating becomes part of the future of our traditional Siberian bloodlines.

A pedigree allows us to look beyond the individual cat. Parents, grandparents and previous generations help us understand the ancestry behind morphology, colour, eye colour and other characteristics.

For a professional breeder this information is essential. For a family it also explains why two kittens that may appear similar in a photograph can represent very different pedigrees and breeding histories.

The Siberian breed offers a remarkable variety of colours, patterns and expressions. At Chatterie de Nice, our kittens may represent different colours depending on the parents and litter.

Our lines include white, brown tabby, silver, black, red, tortie and other colour expressions. The exact colour and EMS code of an individual kitten are established according to its actual characteristics; we do not identify an EMS code from appearance alone when it has not yet been confirmed.

Colour can naturally influence a family’s preference, but it is not the first criterion in our breeding decisions. Whether white, tabby, silver, red or tortie, our Siberian cats are selected according to the complete animal and its pedigree.

A photograph cannot replace a pedigree or health documentation, but it reveals something important about a breeding programme: the cats themselves.

Our gallery brings together kittens, adults, breeding cats and previous generations so visitors can see the diversity of our traditional Siberian bloodlines and the development of our Siberians over time.

Health is part of every responsible breeding decision. At Chatterie de Nice, health information is considered together with pedigree, morphology and temperament. Available documentation depends on the individual cat and its line.

Our breeding follow-up includes attention to HCM, PKD and PKDef information. Individual genetic results and veterinary documentation are communicated where applicable rather than presented as a universal result for every cat.

White kittens receive veterinary attention to hearing before departure. Each kitten is also prepared according to its age and destination with the appropriate identification, vaccination and veterinary documentation.

Our kittens benefit from a two-year breeder guarantee according to the conditions specified in the contract. The purpose of written conditions is to make clear what is included and what accompanies the kitten.

For us, a LOOF pedigree is not simply an additional document. It is an essential part of breeding work because it identifies the ancestry behind a cat and provides the framework for studying a bloodline.

When planning future generations, we consider the individual cat together with the pedigree behind it. This becomes particularly important when following distinctive characteristics such as natural blue eyes and odd eyes within traditional Siberian bloodlines.

Professional breeder enquiries can therefore include more technical information: EMS code, date of birth, sire, dam, pedigree, available health documentation and breeding status.

The Siberian is frequently researched by people who experience allergies to cats. However, reactions vary from one person to another and no individual kitten should be presented as universally hypoallergenic.

For this reason, families concerned about allergies should approach the subject carefully and understand that tolerance cannot be guaranteed simply because a kitten is a Siberian.

We have dedicated information explaining our experience with Siberian cats and allergies, what families should consider and why individual reactions matter.

Adoption begins with communication. Before a reservation, we want to understand who is interested in the kitten, where the kitten will live and what the future family expects. Our first contact therefore includes a direct conversation.

Once a kitten and family have been matched and the conditions are understood, the reservation is confirmed according to our written reservation terms and the required deposit.

Visits are reserved for families who have confirmed their reservation. This allows us to protect the kittens, organise visits responsibly and devote appropriate time to the families who are genuinely preparing an adoption.

The reservation period also allows the kitten to continue its development with us while veterinary preparation, vaccination, identification and documents appropriate to its departure are completed.

Before final departure, the family receives the contractual and practical information relevant to its kitten. For international adoptions, additional requirements may apply according to destination.

Chatterie de Nice welcomes serious professional enquiries concerning selected cats and traditional Siberian bloodlines. Not every kitten is available for breeding and every request is considered individually.

For breeder enquiries, information may include the kitten’s sex, date of birth, EMS code when confirmed, sire, dam, pedigree, eye colour, available health information, breeding status and international departure possibilities.

Breeders interested in blue-eyed Siberian cats or odd-eyed Siberian cats should tell us about their own programme, existing cats and objectives. This makes it possible to discuss whether an individual pedigree may be relevant to the proposed project.

Rare eyes alone are not sufficient reason to choose a breeding cat. We consider morphology, temperament, pedigree and compatibility with the intended programme. The objective is to protect the quality of the cat and the continuity of the line.
