Socialization
Gentle handling and positive experiences matter. I want each kitten to have time to become comfortable with people and with the ordinary sights and sounds of a home.
Our cattery
Russian Blue Breeder Values at California Blues Kitty
I'm Katerina. What began with a love of cats in childhood became a lifelong interest in the Russian Blue. I believe health, temperament, and thoughtful breeding decisions matter far more than an impressive pedigree on its own.

The everyday details behind a loving start.
I know how much the early weeks shape a kitten's confidence. When a family is thinking about welcoming one of mine, I want them to understand the things that matter in daily life: a comfortable environment, gentle interaction, suitable play, and time to rest.
Ask me about the kitten's current surroundings and familiar routines. I'd rather explain the details of a particular kitten than make promises that could describe any cattery.

A good beginning is built one day at a time.
Development & enrichment
As a kitten grows, play, rest, safe exploration, and space to scratch all help them learn. Individual personalities develop at different speeds, and I enjoy getting to know those little differences.
Feeding & routines
A familiar feeding routine, litter habits, and quiet time can make the move less overwhelming. I encourage families to ask about these details before their kitten comes home.
Comfort and safety
Gentle handling, cleanliness, and preparation all matter.
No two kittens are exactly alike. I would much rather talk with you about your chosen kitten's temperament and what makes them feel secure, so you can build on that sense of safety in your home.
- Ask about the kitten’s current routine and familiar items.
- Plan a quiet first room before bringing a kitten home.
- Discuss questions about feeding, litter, and introductions early.

The breed that captured my heart.
Their expressive faces and silver-blue coats are beautiful, but there is so much more to love about Russian Blues. Ask me for current photographs and background details about the kitten who interests you.
