Testimonial from Deb Collis:

I would like to express my sincerest thanks to Barbara for all the care and time that she dedicates to her kittens. For Barbara, raising healthy kittens and finding them caring homes is more than a business, it is her life. She puts her heart and energy into it and it shows in the quality of kittens that are produced as a result.

Over the past couple of years, Barbara has delivered to us three gorgeous, healthy, well cared for kittens. They have all been of the most gentle nature and very calm and well balanced.

Barbara has been kind enough to send photos of our kittens from birth and keep me informed of progress as they grew. Barbara gives in-depth direction of what to do when bringing kitten home and has kept in contact each time, to check that all is going well.

I would absolutely highly recommend that if you are looking for a Siberian kitten that has had the best start to life, Barbara is the person to contact.

Maxim

Testimonial from Joe and Ben:

We are the very lucky fur parents of Maxim. He is a Prideshill Siberian born on 28 July 2015, bred by Barbara Gallagher at Prideshill in Burpengary Queensland.

We found Prideshill by conducting a web search as we were looking for a low allergy cat because as we have gotten older we have developed an allergy to cat dander. We didn’t know very much about Siberians and needed a lot of information about the breed and if it would be a good match for us. We are a professional couple so needed to make sure we got the right kind of animal to fit into our, at times, busy lives. We previously had a fur companion that was part of our family for a wonderful 17 years. Two years after her passing we were finally ready to welcome a new fur person into our life and hearts.

We had done some reading about breeds and breeders and wanted to make certain we were not dealing with a kitten farm. After a phone call to Prideshill, we were immediately and without hesitation invited to come and visit. Barbara was friendly, professional and completely open about her cats and her methodology. She was incredibly generous with her time. We were able to meet the Queens and Sires and see the kittens and spend some time with the them to make sure that we were not allergic to Siberians.

Barbara was very sharing of her knowledge of the cats, their heritage and the little quirks that make Siberians so special. Barbara was also completely pressure free. Her approach was all about the cats and making sure that we would be a good fit for the kittens as much as selecting the right kitten to fit with us!

Once we decided to take the plunge and committed to getting a new member of the family, Barbara really looked after us. She helped us select our kitten based on temperament and our preferences for colour and gender. This took a little bit of time, but that was no problem at all! Once selected, we were encouraged to visit and spend some time with Maxim as he was growing. This was a wonderful experience to go and visit and play with him while he was still with his mother and siblings. Watching him play with his brother Barron was a real joy.

The day to collect Maxim came very quickly. Barbara met us and made sure we had a little care package to look after Maxim to ensure he was able to settle with us with minimum disruption. This included his documents and a collection of foods that he was used to eating which was a wonderful little bonus.

The support from Barbara and Prideshill did not stop after pick up. Barbara helped us with Maxim’s next set of vaccinations and has been able to provide us with ideas and recommendations for him as he grows. We love sharing photos of Maxim with Barbara and Prideshill and can completely recommend her and her business to anyone who is interested in learning more about and welcoming a Siberian Fur Person into their home.

Testimonial:

Finding Barbara at Prideshill was the most wonderful experience for me I needed to find a low allergen cat breeder & found her website via a google search. After reading all she offered I knew I was going to enjoy the process as she clearly cares about her cats and her business.

Barbara raises the healthiest most divine kittens and she puts nothing less than her heart & soul in to them and this is very clear from your first conversation with her. Her knowledge, her patience with my lack of knowledge, her care instructions and her no pressure attitude and knowing Barbara would be there for me at any time were all such a blessing to me. It was a big deal for me & an investment that I really had to think about.

Ishani (meaning I belong) was born May 21st & when Barbara sent me a photo I instantly fell in love with her. I originally wanted a blue coat kitten however I was quickly drawn to our little tabby girl and that was it, I named her straight away.

Ishani has changed the energy in our home, there is so much fun, laughter, love & mischief again. I bought her for me as my son is now 19 & Rosie our Maltese shiatzu – is 13yrs old and coming to her life end. I can not get over how much we ALL love Ishani she is so affectionate and a true character.

Ishani’s 16week visit to the Vet was great, she was clam, playful & the Vet was in ore of her, she kept carrying her around & showing her off to all her staff as none of them had seen a Siberian before.

Our Vet’s words were “oh my she is just divine look at her beautiful coat, how calm & healthy she is, the lady you bought her from certainly looks after her cats & kittens and that is inspiring”

WOW!!! I was even more happy after hearing that. We have taught Ishani to kiss, to do high five’s & she absolutely loves cuddles so much that she insists on them no matter what you are doing hahaha. She is both dependent & independent. She is a perfect fit into our little family & I will definitely be getting another kitten from Barbara.

I cannot recommend Barbara & her kittens highly enough. There are not many registered breeders in Australia & I spoke to them all Barbara stood out above & beyond in every aspect. So grateful. Andie

Kind Regards

Izzy is an absolute joy, I haven’t laughed so much in years. Everyone who has met her comments on what a beautiful girl she is and how happy her nature is, even the vet said she was bright and cheerful.

When anyone asks where she came from I tell them about Prideshill, how generously you give of your time to adopting parents and how much you care about your cats. I also tell anyone who is considering adopting a kitten that Prideshill is the place to go for cats that are not only beautiful to look at but also have beautiful temperaments.

Kind regards

Leah and Izzy Sawtell
