Seal Point
Deep chocolate-seal mask, ears and tail against a warm ivory body. This is the highest contrast of the three, and the look most people picture when they imagine the breed.
SnowPaw raises Neva Masquerade Siberians, the blue-eyed, colorpoint side of the breed, underfoot in our home. Seal, blue and lynx points, socialized from day one and never in a hurry to leave the nest.
Every Neva Masquerade is born pure white and develops its mask, ears, paws and tail over its first weeks. We focus on the three classic points, and we know each of them intimately.

A softer, cooler reading of the seal: slate-grey points fading into a glacial off-white. Quieter, almost watercolour, and unmistakably winter.
Fine tabby striping runs through the points: ringed tail, pencilled brows and a faint "M" on the forehead. The wildest-looking, with the gentlest temperament.
We welcome home visits before any deposit is placed. Sit with the kittens, meet Shiver Bear, Kulfi, Sona and Ruby, and see exactly where and how they're raised. We'd rather you fall in love in person than over photos.
Named for the Neva river in St. Petersburg, the Neva Masquerade is a Siberian carrying the colourpoint gene: that famous blue gaze and shadowed "mask," wrapped in the breed's dense triple coat. Big, slow to mature, and endlessly affectionate.
My husband and I have always loved cats, but for his whole life he had been very allergic. We were determined to make our dream work anyway, so we dove deep into breeds, temperaments, and cat diets, searching for a pet that was both truly affectionate and allergy-friendly. That search led us to the Siberian breed, and it honestly felt like a dream come true!
With my previous breeding experience, we decided to share that gift: first with the people closest to us, and now, thankfully, with everyone. Our cats are so loved and so, so cuddly, and we can't wait for their babies to bring your home as much joy as they've brought ours!
With love, The SnowPaw Family ♡
Seal, lynx and blue points expected. The waitlist is open now.
Every litter starts here, with parents chosen for health, temperament, and the stunning colorpoint traits they pass on. These three run our home, and they know it.
Shiver Bear is the heart of our cattery and the proud father of every SnowPaw kitten. He's a true gentle giant: calm, affectionate, and gifted at making everyone feel instantly at home.
Raised right here in our house, he knows every corner of our world and loves every person who walks through the door. His warmth, easy temperament and beautiful lines are the foundation we built SnowPaw on. You'll see a little piece of him in every kitten we raise.
Kulfi is the most vocal of the bunch, never shy about telling you exactly how she feels, and what she feels, most of the time, is ready for a cuddle.
She's the kind of cat who melts into your arms the moment you pick her up, purring before you've even settled in. She'll find her way into your lap without an invitation, tuck herself in tight, and stay as long as you'll let her. Kulfi doesn't just tolerate being held. She craves it.
Sona never turns down a good toy session. She'll chase, pounce and sprint through the house like she owns it. But the moment you scoop her up, she shifts gears completely, melting into your arms with a calm, trusting ease.
Her stunning seal point coat comes with impossibly silky long fur that's as satisfying to touch as it looks. She keeps you entertained all day, then curls up right beside you at the end of it.
Ruby is her own cat: loving but wonderfully independent, always off investigating some corner of the house on her latest mission. Curiosity runs deep in her; if something new arrives, she's the first to inspect it.
Then, mission complete, she comes to collect her reward: pets, and plenty of them. She has the sweetest little meows you'll ever hear and melts into a cuddle the moment you oblige. Independent on her schedule, affectionate on yours.
See who's here now and what's coming next.
Every SnowPaw kitten is raised in the middle of our living room, handled daily, fed premium food, and socialized into the affectionate companions this breed is famous for.

Placement follows the order deposits arrive. The waitlist is open now.
It starts with an open door: visit our home and meet the cats before you commit a dollar. From there, here's exactly how it works, with no surprises.
Before any money changes hands, we invite you into our home. Meet the kittens, meet their parents, and see the environment they're raised in with your own eyes. It's how we build trust, and how you know exactly who your kitten is coming from. Local families can schedule a visit any time; if you're out of state, we're happy to do a live video walkthrough instead.
Your $200 deposit is credited toward the total, with the balance due at pickup. Placement is determined by the order signed contracts and deposits are received.
We personally hand-deliver every kitten to their new family. No cargo shipping, ever. Flying in? We'll meet you at Detroit Metro (DTW) for a delivery fee.
After you apply through our contact page, we verify home compatibility and send over an interest and adoption contract. Once both parties sign and your deposit clears, your waitlist spot is officially reserved.
Every kitten receives a complete vet exam and core vaccinations at 9 weeks, and joins their new family at 12 weeks. Spay/neuter at the appropriate age is required by contract.
Every kitten is covered against genetic defects for one full year, because we stand behind our lines.
Full veterinary exam, core vaccines, and complete health records go home with every kitten.
