Let’s Talk About Christmas Kittens
It’s that time again — the lights are barely up and my messages are already filling with: “Do you have Christmas kittens?”
So let’s chat about what that actually means.
What most people imagine
A fluffy little baby with a bow, going home on December 25th, photogenic and perfect.
Reality check?
For a kitten to go home on Christmas, they’d need to be born in September — and sadly, our mamas do not consult us about our preferred holiday timing.
In almost 10 years, it has lined up beautifully maybe 3 or 4 times… but it’s rare.
(We absolutely do happy dances when it works out — but I’m not going to delay a queen’s mating just to hit a specific date. Their health always comes first.)
What we can offer right now
✨ Reservations for Marie Litter C — 8 kittens available (as of Nov 30)
These kittens will go home Jan 21–Feb 4, right in that perfect 12–14 week window.
✨ Everything you need for an adorable Christmas reveal
Photos, videos, a printable announcement — whatever you’d like to wrap.
✨ A personalized “meet your new kitten” holiday video
Plus in-person visits after the holiday so your future kitten feels familiar before go-home day.
✨ Or a “future kitten” gift certificate
If you’d prefer the recipient to choose from one of our spring litters.
And honestly? Christmas week is a tough time for a kitten anyway.
Even at 12 weeks old (when our kittens typically go home), that first week in a new home needs to be quiet, predictable, and calm.
Holiday week?
…doesn’t exactly fit that.
Visitors, wrapping paper, travel, the tree, excited kids — it’s a wonderful season for humans, but a lot for a tiny creature who just left mom and siblings for the very first time.
But here’s the magical workaround:
Most of our families actually choose their kitten before the holiday.
Then on Christmas morning, they can share:
-
Photos of their kitten
-
Videos of their kitten playing
-
A sweet “your kitten is coming home soon!” reveal
-
A plush pretend-kitten
-
A name list
-
A little Siberian info bundle
We can also send you a holiday-themed “meet your new kitten” video to play on Christmas Day, and you’re welcome to schedule an in-person visit for after the holidays.
It keeps the magic — without overwhelming the baby or starting them off on the wrong foot.
So if you’re dreaming of a Christmas kitten moment…
The best way to do it is:
choose your kitten now, celebrate the reveal at Christmas, and bring them home once life calms down again.
You can see the current babies here or you can place a deposit for one of them, or reserve a spot in an upcoming litter — whatever you choose, we’ll make it magical and stress-free for both your family and your future fluffball.
