Alternatively, purchasing a Siberian cat from a reputable breeder can cost between $1,200 and $4,000, depending on the kitten's lineage and the breeder's reputation.

Siberian kittens typically cost between $1,200 and $4,000, depending on pedigree and age. Why the high price tag? This breed is expensive due to their high demand and the relatively low number of purebred Siberian cats outside of Russia—so they're pretty rare in the U.S.

Chinchilla Siberian cats are relatively rare. The allure of the chinchilla pattern is the sparkly, shimmering effect produced by a dense, light undercoat lightly tipped by a deep black on the tail, legs, flanks, back, and head.

As with most cats, they can be left alone for a short amount of time, but it's recommended to avoid leaving your cat alone for more than 24 hours.
