It's not actually their fur, as many people assume.. If you love cats but allergies are a concern, choosing the right cat can feel like a bit of a gamble. You may have heard that Siberians are a “low-allergen” or “hypoallergenic” breed, and there is some reason for that reputation. Siberians are often reported to produce lower levels of Fel d 1, the major cat allergen found in saliva and skin secretions. But there are some caveats: there is no completely...]]></description><link>https://www.auralunecats.com/post/allergies-low-fel-d-1-cats-finding-the-right-fit</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aa3efbd6b6b040961d8b751</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 08:44:36 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/620a2c_5ff3cdfc059540b1a1c33017aaab194b~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>auralunecats</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why Choose a Siberian?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Plyushka  our gorgeous Queen showing off her gorgeous mane Let’s get one thing out of the way first... I’m a cat lover. I love basically all cats. If I see a cat, I’m automatically drawn to it — and, conveniently, they usually seem to feel the same way about me. So this isn’t an article about why Siberians are better than other cats. Every breed has its own personality, beauty and something special about it.

The word waitlist can sound as though you're simply putting your name down and waiting until a kitten eventually becomes available. That's not quite how our system works. At Auralune, our waitlist gives families the opportunity to secure their position for a future litter, so that when kittens are born and begin to develop, families can choose their kitten according to their...]]></description><link>https://www.auralunecats.com/post/auralune-waitlist-explained</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aa3f1d6571318e8c9e43f80</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Sep 2026 12:36:58 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/620a2c_60a100376bd64b5987cdbe15be897d25~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>auralunecats</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why We Raise Our Kittens in a Home, Not a Farm]]></title><description><![CDATA[Two kittens relaxing on the couch at our home-based cattery in Thailand There are many different ways to raise pedigree kittens.

But there is a big difference between breeding cats and producing kittens. At Auralune, we consider ourselves an ethical breeder. For us, that isn't just about health testing or pedigrees.

And then there are Neva Masquerades. The first time you see one, the blue eyes tend to stop you. Then you notice the mask, the floofy coat, the substantial body and that magnificent plume of a tail.

This is not a breed that was simply designed on paper and then produced by breeders. Siberians have a much older story. Long before there were pedigrees, breed standards or cat shows, there were cats living alongside people across Russia — robust, intelligent, semi-longhaired cats that had adapted to an unforgiving climate and become valued companions and working cats. The modern Siberian breed is relatively young.

One of the things that can catch people by surprise with Siberians is just how long they take to grow up. A Siberian kitten can reach the age when you look at them and think, Surely that's pretty much the finished cat now? And then they proceed to prove you wrong. They keep growing. They keep filling out.

They're not. The main allergen responsible for cat allergies is a protein called Fel d 1, which is produced primarily in a cat's saliva and also in other skin secretions. Cats spread it onto their coat when they groom themselves, which is why it ends up on their fur, skin and in the surrounding environment. This is also why simply choosing a cat with less hair doesn't necessarily make any...]]></description><link>https://www.auralunecats.com/post/what-actually-causes-a-cat-allergy</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a9eb4d0ff2777f8cf45b48e</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Sep 2026 13:12:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/620a2c_f0632b98eed94c84baa1a2ca12fbe68c~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>auralunecats</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why Siberians? — The Cat Behind the Beauty]]></title><description><![CDATA[There is no denying that Siberians are beautiful.

I only had one year of my life without cats, and it felt wrong. But then another love came along — my son. And for a cat lover, a big wrinkle in the plan came up. My son is allergic to cats.
