 Keyser (Horus)

Keyser has been a wonderful addition to our family.  I was hesitant to buy a pet from a breeder.  I’ve always adopted.  However, I had a wonderful experience with Romanov Dynasty!! Tatyana is kind, patient, and wonderful with responding to all my questions.  She is very professional.  Tatyana loves, cares and treats her cats like family, not like commodities.  Keyser has adjusted wonderfully with our family.  He is very loving, social and curious.  He is comfortable with our dogs and gets along with the cats.  Thank you Tatyana!!!  We absolutely adore Keyser!!

 Mooney and Biggs (Ambrose and Nikandr)

Since picking Moony up from you last January we knew right away he was special: intelligent, outgoing, friendly and a ball of energy. We are so happy we were able to return and pick up a little brother for him one year later. One of the first things we noticed about Biggs was his different personality from Moony. He’s a little more reserved and shyer than we experienced with Moony. However, that hasn’t stopped him from becoming a wonderful addition to our family. In just four days, the boys have learned to play, eat and cat nap together. We could not be more thrilled. Your family of cats has such a warm place in our hearts. Thank you for all that you and your family do to bring these bundles of love into our lives!

 Simon (Egypt)

I wanted a well-adjusted, affectionate pet that could potentially be hypoallergenic without the responsibility of going out for walks as with a dog (my current work hours and general aversion to being outside for a walk during a snowstorm made this decision for me). I also wanted to use someone locally ideally not further away than a 3 hour drive roundtrip. Romanov Dynasty Cattery more than fit what I was looking for. Tatyana made the process very easy and was transparent from the start. I especially appreciated that the waitlist was published on her website so you always know where you are in line. When it was my turn, Tatyana texted me pictures of Egypt (who I call Simon) and asked if I was interested in reserving him (which I of course was). I didn’t have a preference for color. I only knew that I wanted a male kitten. Tatyana instructed me on how to reserve Egypt and told me she would send pictures every 3 weeks as he grew which she did. As a first time pet owner (other than a Beta fish in my teens), I had lots of questions from what food and litter to what toys she recommended. Tatyana was more than happy to answer all my questions. When it was time, pick up at Tatyana’s house was very easy and we followed COVID-19 precautions wearing masks and limiting our in person time together to just a few minutes finalizing paperwork. Then I was off with my little red boy Egypt.

Egypt is just the most adorable little kitten. He’s 7 months old now and he is just the most personable little guy. He loves to be around people and is content to just be in the same place with his people unless it’s time to play. If it’s time to play, he will insistently let you know that your participation is needed. He takes his play very seriously J. Even my mom who was pretty skeptical about me getting a kitten and about cats in general, loves the little guy. I’m so grateful to Tatyana for this little guy and recommend her cattery to anyone looking for a healthy, sweet, loveable, well-socialized Siberian cat.

 Leo (Merry Noel)

I began my search for a pure breed Siberian kitten after I found out that they were the only breed that was potentially hypoallergenic. I have always loved animals, especially cats, but I am also very allergic! I stumbled upon Romanov Dynasty online when searching for breeders and I am so glad I did. I immediately put myself on the waiting list for a kitten. As a young college student, I was new to all of this and Tatyana was very understanding and helped me with all of my questions. I live in Kentucky, so I wasn’t able to visit my kitten but Tatyana sent me lots of pictures and made sure I was informed. Since picking up Leo (previously known as Merry Noel), my life has been so much better. You could tell right away that he was well taken care of and was shown much love. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat. He is so sweet, playful, and extremely loving. He loves to cuddle with me and he absolutely loves being hand fed his food/treats. He is also obsessed with Christmas decorations! Which is only fitting as he was born on Christmas Eve. I am extremely grateful to Tatyana for giving me such a sweet kitty. I now love Siberian cats and will probably only get this breed in the future.

Timber and Teak (Xanti and Urik )

My husband and I both grew up in households with cats. We carried our mutual love for them over into adulthood. When we married, we had 3 of our own. Unfortunately, once we expanded our family, we had to rehome them due to severe allergies. After years of trying to fill the void and several setbacks, we found Tatyana’s page by chance. From her initial contact until we brought home both of our boys, she was nothing short of wonderful. She answered any questions we had, sent us multiple pictures, allowed us to visit (this was before Covid), giving us ample time to get to know our boys and check for any possible allergic reactions. Tatyana is an absolute professional. We were hesitant to adopt through another breeder because we had been burned before. This, however, was not the case. These are not just a paycheck or kittens to her. They are her family. Our boys have the sweetest disposition. You can instantly tell they’ve been loved on and genuinely cared for. We would gladly take home more kittens in a heartbeat if we were able to. I highly recommend Romanov Dynasty Cattery. You will not find a better cattery or person to work with. I guarantee it.

 Zima (Uliana)

My family moved to Virginia in 2014… and were looking to invite a kitten into our home to be a part of our family. My husband has severe allergies to cats and we needed to make sure we found a pure breed Siberian cat… to keep him from suffering (too much;). After years of looking locally and disappointing experiences with other cattery’s that didn’t meet our needs, we found Romanov Dynasty through online research. I was very hesitant to buy a cat online -but Tatyana was extremely considerate of our concerns, provided pictures upon request, was patient and answered every question we had -giving me every assurance on what I was buying.Tatyana takes a lot of pride in her cattery and great care of her kittens. From the organization of the website, the pictures, the history and showcase of Kings and Queens… Romanov Dynasty is as legitimate as it gets. When we picked up out little Zima, she was healthy, playful and came with plenty of personality. When she hears the ice-machine turning on the refrigerator, she runs 100 mph from wherever she is and stares up from underneath -hoping to catch a few ice cubes to play with (so funny!). It was great that she was familiar with other animals before picking her up too -which made for quick integration and socialization with our other house pet, which she is now in charge of😉.She’s been nothing short of a furry ball of joy. We’re so happy with her and thankful for the personal touch and professional care from Tatyana. I’m also happy my husband has zero allergy problems with Zima -bonus… yeah!!!Thank you Tatyana!

My experience with Romanov Dynasty Cattery has far surpassed my expectations. Tatyana has been professional and kind during every step of this process. Timofey was well handled and loved prior to our adoption, which has helped nurture his sweet and cuddly personality. If you’re looking for a gorgeous cat with an amazing temperament, you’re at the right place!”

 Picca Chu (Doc Holliday)


I found “Romanov Dynasty Cattery” last year.  My Kitten “Picca Chu” was my first cat!  Tatyana made my experience so nice!  She allowed me to meet both the mother and the father of my kitten in addition to all of her other cat moms and dads.  All of her cats are family pets and family loved. They all live and play in the family home.  They are ALL friendly and socialized.  They don’t run away when you come in the room or approach them, most of them greet you at the door and stay very near by you while you are visiting!    When Tatyana has to part ways with her kittens it is not easy for her.  
 
Our Kitten is almost a year old, and we love him very much!  He hangs out where ever his humans are, and keeps and eye out for any bug that may enter the house! He would love to catch one of our tropical fish but so far they are safe!  His favorite spot is the top of the refrigerator!  Unfortunately for me, i’ve learned that cats don’t train as easily as dogs do.!  When by back is turned he does what ever he wants….
 
My Kitten is super healthy and beyond beautiful.  He still loves to drink his milk 2 x a day. He is very picky about his food and only eats a particular dry food, and only fresh cooked salmon or tuna steak will pass his taste test!   He won’t touch any canned cat food!
 
The only regret that i have is that my kitten doesn’t sleep in my bed!  He doesn’t ‘ sleep with any of us.  I’m still hoping that will change as he matures …..
 
Please feel confident that “Romanov Cattery” and Tatyana are truly legit,  Her kittens are family born and raised in the family home.  You will 
receive  a healthy socialized Siberian kitten.    I only hope that yours sleeps with you!!!

Misha (Misha Matvey)


I wanted a playmate for my poorly-socialized Maine Coon female kitten and one who would also be affectionate with me.  I chose (now) Misha.  He is a bold playmate with a very sweet temperament and has charmed his way into both of our hearts.  He curls up with my female to groom and be groomed and purrs when handled.  Besides being ridiculously cute and entertaining, Misha is the perfect fit for our family!

Tatyana of Romanov Dynasty Siberians was very responsive to questions and easy to work with.  This is a reputable cattery  and her kittens are of excellent quality.

 Alexey and Anastasia (Ilya and Izzy)



My family got two healthy, lively, beautiful Siberian kittens from Tatyana about a year ago. Tatyana was very nice and flexible, allowing us to visit the kittens before choosing and then a few more times to play with them and to take pictures before bringing them home.  So we actually followed the kittens’ growth from one-month old to two months before we brought them home. The cattery is Tatyana’s living room and was kept pretty clean and well-managed. The kittens were also well socialized. Before our scheduled take-home day, Tatyana also had taken the kittens to the vet for their first check-up and prepared all the paperwork. We’re very, very happy with our little kitties! The kitties have brought so much joy to our lives!

PIA (Buttercup)

I’d like to express my sincere thanks to you and Romanov Dynasty for providing a wonderful experience in finding the perfect cat for us.
As you know, my wife has allergies, specially animal allergies.
We needed to find a breed that was Hypoallergenic, like your Siberian Forest Cats.
You allowed us to visit PIA , when she was only four days old and your other cats to see if my wife was allergic to them. We made several trips over the next 12 weeks to see our miss PIA. Each time you opened your doors and allowed us to visit with your cats.
We thank you for your interest in PIA ‘s progress and seeing her current pictures. We feel part of the family.
We can’t believe PIA is such a big part of our family. From a 12 week old kitten to 15 pound young adult cat. She loves sitting at the window watching all kinds of birds come onto the feeder we have on the deck. We love her.

Harry Potter
We got our Siberian boy Harry from Tatyana about one year ago. He is such a beautiful cat, very playful and loving! He gets along well with our two golden retrievers. Loves to be around people! Tatyana was so easy to work with. She answered all of my questions and was easy to get in touch with. She sent lots of cute kitten pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a Siberian kitten. We love our Harry for much!!

Great experience with the cattery. I received my kitten healthy, potty trained and with the necessary shots. He’s very friendly and great with kids. I would recommend Tatyana to anyone looking for a Siberian.

This website was easy to use and was really easy to contact the owner and we were able to see the kittens a couple of times before purchasing, and there weren’t any problems with the process. (Both of the kittens are very friendly and outgoing and can keep you company all day long and make you feel so much better.)
