Adopting a siberian kitten close to Toulouse and Montpellier
Do you live in Toulouse, Montpellier or in a large city in Occitanie and dream of a hypoallergenic Siberian cat, comfortable in its paws, raised in a family environment? The Siberian Express Cattery, located in the Tarn, welcomes adopters from all over Occitanie for supervised adoptions, with the possibility of a personalised allergy test.
An easy access from Toulouse and Montpellier to a family breeding
Located in Pont-de-Larn, our cattery is about 1.5 to 2 hours from Toulouse and Montpellier, in the heart of a peaceful, green setting. This environment allows the kittens to grow up in a lively home, with children, dogs, and a secure garden, far from the stress of urban life. For families from Toulouse and Montpellier, visiting us is often a welcome "nature break": We take the time to discuss your plans, meet the adult cats, and, when possible, the kittens.
hypoallergenic kittens for allergic people
The Siberian cat is a breed known for producing less Fel d1, the protein primarily responsible for cat allergies, making it an attractive option for many allergy sufferers. Our lines are selected for temperament, health, and type stability, with rigorous veterinary monitoring and exclusively LOOF-registered kittens. On the website and during our communications, we clearly explain the limitations of the term "hypoallergenic": an allergy test remains essential before any adoption if someone in the family has allergies.
An allergy test at the cattery
For families with allergies, we offer an allergy test by appointment, directly at the cattery, in real-life living conditions with several Siberian cats. This immersion allows us to observe the allergic person's reaction, ask all necessary questions, and then calmly decide on the next steps. Families from Toulouse or Montpellier typically arrange: an initial contact by phone or email to describe the type of allergy and the family situation; an on-site appointment for the allergy test and to learn about the breed; then, if all goes well, a reservation for a kitten from an upcoming litter.
How does an adoption process work from Toulouse or Montpellier?
The adoption process is the same for all our adopters, with a few practical adjustments for those coming from further away. The main steps are: Initial contact and detailed discussions (home profile, expectations, any allergies). Allergy testing at the cattery if needed. Reserving the kitten based on a photo once the litter is born (deposit and contract). Regular updates via messages and photos throughout the kitten's growth. Handing over the kitten from 12 weeks of age, either at the cattery or at a mutually agreed meeting point if this makes travel easier. For families in Toulouse or Montpellier, we try to group trips as much as possible (testing + visit, then handing over) to minimize travel while ensuring a well-considered adoption.
Why come all the way to the Tarn rather than staying in the city?
Several Siberian cat breeders are located in or near Toulouse, with strong local demand. Choosing the Siberian Express Cattery means opting for: A rich living environment for the kittens (house, landscaped garden, children, dogs), conducive to excellent socialization. Unscheduled visits and allergy testing, allowing each family member to feel comfortable. A professional family cattery that limits the number of litters to provide ongoing support for each kitten and family. Many of our adopters tell us that the slightly longer journey from Toulouse or Montpellier is more than compensated by the quality of support and the environment in which their kittens are raised.

The Himalayan footbridge in Mazamet and the medieval village of Hautpoul: a large suspension bridge over the gorges, offering spectacular views and direct access to a perched medieval village. Lake Montagnès: a leisure area in the Montagne Noire, with supervised swimming during the season, sandy beaches, an easy trail around the lake, and nature activities. Castres and Mazamet: historic centers, narrow streets, houses along the Agout River, museums (Goya, Jaurès), and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for a break in town before or after your visit to the cattery.
