California's trusted source for exceptional Russian Blue kittens
Cali Blues Cattery is a small Russian Blue cattery in Tulelake, California. Our Russian Blue cats and kittens are raised in a family environment with lots of love and attention. Our cats meet the highest breed standard and are of a champion class. If you're looking for Russian Blue kittens for sale in California, you've come to the right place. Cali Blues Cattery does NOT CAGE our Russian Blue cats or kittens. We don't even own a cage; we only get one when a kitten is about to be shipped. We use extra bedrooms in the home as nurseries. Our adult Russian Blue cats sleep with us every night and have the entire run of the house. They are not locked away or used as breeding machines. We treat them with love and respect.
At Cali Blues Cattery, we give every Russian Blue cat and kitten in our care the best chance for survival. We have been breeding Russian Blue cats and kittens for over 20 years. I have found that many breeders believe that if a kitten or cat is not 100%, it's best to let nature take its course. I do not believe in this mentality. We will do whatever is possible for any of our Russian Blue cats or kittens, no matter their age and no matter what value people think they may have. We do not look at our pets or our kittens as dollar signs.
We are responsible Russian Blue breeders who can be found near you. We use only pedigreed Russian Blue cats for our breeding program. We are registered with two feline associations (TICA and CFA).
Our cats are genetically tested and don't carry any feline diseases. Our mission is to ensure that our graduates are of exceptional health, top Russian Blue breed quality, raised in happiness, and have fantastic temperaments.
We do not overbreed or inbreed. Our queens can have a maximum of 5 litters in 2 years, so the waitlist is longer.
Our cattery was initially created in honour and memory of our beloved Bruno the Cat, who crossed the rainbow bridge after 16 happy years with us. He was a unique, purebred Russian Blue with an extraordinary influence on my entire family's lives. Bruno had a fantastic and handsome personality, and we felt sorry that he could not reproduce. After appropriate technology education, we established our cattery to breed and promote top-tier, hypoallergenic cats with fantastic character and intelligence.

Quality, health, and temperament above all else
We conduct comprehensive health testing on all our breeding cats, including genetic screening for hereditary conditions. Every kitten receives thorough veterinary examinations, age-appropriate vaccinations, and deworming before joining their new family. Health isn't just a priority—it's our foundation.
Our breeding program focuses on maintaining the authentic Russian Blue characteristics: the distinctive double coat with silver tipping, vivid green eyes, elegant build, and gentle temperament. We carefully select breeding pairs to enhance these traits while ensuring genetic diversity and health.
Our kittens aren't raised in cages or kennels—they grow up in our California home as part of our family. This environment ensures proper socialization with people, household sounds, and daily activities, creating confident, well-adjusted kittens ready for family life.
We carefully screen potential families to ensure each kitten goes to a loving, prepared home. This isn't just business for us—it's about creating perfect matches between kittens and families. We want every adoption to be a lifelong success story.
We believe informed families make the best cat parents. We provide comprehensive education about Russian Blue care, behavior, and health. Our support doesn't end at adoption—we're here for the lifetime of your cat with guidance, advice, and encouragement.
We limit the number of litters we produce each year to ensure every kitten and parent cat receives optimal care and attention. Quality will always triumph over quantity in our program. Our breeding cats are cherished family members who enjoy enriched lives beyond their breeding roles.
Based in Southern California, we're perfectly positioned to serve families throughout the Golden State. Whether you're in Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, the Inland Empire, or anywhere else in California, we're committed to making the adoption process smooth and convenient.
Our California location means we understand the unique lifestyle of families in this beautiful state. Russian Blue cats adapt wonderfully to California living—whether you're in a beachside apartment, a suburban home, or a rural property. Their moderate activity level, adaptable nature, and low-maintenance grooming needs make them ideal companions for the California lifestyle.
We offer flexible pickup arrangements and can discuss delivery options for families throughout California. Our goal is to make bringing your new Russian Blue kitten home as stress-free as possible.
