About Angel of Siberia

Angel of Siberia LLC is a home cattery operated by Angela and Janet Gentsaryuk, listed by the Better Business Bureau at 30316 120th Ave SE, Auburn, WA 98092; the business's own site describes its location only as "Kent, WA, south of Seattle," an adjacent city, and states kittens are sold in person from that area by Angela only.

The cattery breeds Traditional Forest Siberian and Neva Masquerade cats, marketed as hypoallergenic (lower Fel d 1 protein), and states its cats are registered with TICA and WCF; USAComplaints has not independently confirmed current registry status for either claim. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology notes that no cat breed is truly hypoallergenic in a medical sense — allergens come mainly from saliva, dander, and urine, not just fur, and individual reactions vary. Its website domain (angelofsiberia.com) has been registered since October 2015, and a GoKitty.com seller listing shows the operator as a member since January 2016 — both predating the LLC's BBB-listed "years in business" start date of June 2020, consistent with an informal breeding operation that was later incorporated.

Per the cattery's own published policies, each kitten sold is spayed/neutered, microchipped, and sold with a written contract, a veterinary exam certificate, and a genetic-disease health guarantee. The breeder's site gives two slightly different versions of the return window: the Policies page says the kitten must be vet-examined within 3 days of adoption (Sundays/holidays excepted), and if the vet finds a concern, the kitten may be returned within 24 hours for a full refund or replacement; the separate Sale Agreement instead gives buyers 72 hours to have the kitten examined and calls for immediate return for a full refund (no replacement mentioned) if the kitten is found sick in that window. Buyers should get the version that applies to their purchase in writing. The current listed kitten price is $3,500 with a $500 non-refundable deposit (applied toward the total); the Sale Agreement accepts cash, money order, Venmo, or PayPal, and the site's Available Kittens page also offers Zelle and notes a 3% fee on deposits paid via PayPal.

Is Angel of Siberia Legitimate?

Angel of Siberia LLC holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating but is not a BBB-accredited business. Its BBB profile currently shows 0 complaints and 0 customer reviews as of this writing — note that BBB Business Profiles generally cover a rolling three-year reporting period, so a 0 count there does not rule out earlier or unreported disputes. Its phone number and business name are consistently reported across the BBB, the company's own site, and independent breeder directories (GoKitty, Petnax), which weighs toward this being one consistently-operated business rather than a name shared by unrelated sellers.

Independently, the consumer-complaint site ComplaintsBoard.com — a directory unaffiliated with USAComplaints — lists 11 complaints and 1 review for this business (observed August 2026), with an aggregate score that platform calculates as 2.3 out of 5. Complaints there are dated between October 2017 and March 2025, and that platform tags 4 of the 11 (36%) "Resolved" and 7 (64%) "Unresolved." They recur around a similar theme: kittens allegedly developing feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), ringworm, urinary disease, or other illness weeks to months after purchase, and in several cases the reviewer describes the breeder as unresponsive or dismissive when the issue was raised. One complaint (June 2022) describes an $800 deposit not refunded after a buyer requested to cancel; ComplaintsBoard tags that case "Resolved" (meaning the business replied to it), but the visible complaint thread does not itself confirm the deposit was actually refunded. These are that platform's own unverified consumer allegations — ComplaintsBoard's own review count is not evidence a court or regulator found any wrongdoing, and USAComplaints has not independently verified any individual claim.

Weighing against that pattern: the breeder's own policies page includes an explicit written health guarantee and a same-week veterinary-return window, and some of the same complaint threads and the business's own site both include positive testimonials from other buyers. Worth noting, though: the breeder's own Sale Agreement states its one-year genetic-disease guarantee (against HCM and PKD) explicitly does not apply to parasites or viruses — the same categories (FIP, ringworm, parasites) that recur most often in the external complaints. We found no cattery-related lawsuit, regulatory action, or license revocation in the public sources checked in this research pass, though this is not an exhaustive court-record search; separately, Washington State does not license or register cat breeders at the state level. As of this writing, zero complaints about this business have been filed on USAComplaints.com.

Before You Buy a Kitten From This Cattery

  • Ask for veterinary records and documented FCoV (coronavirus)/FIP management history plus FeLV/FIV test results for the litter's parents before committing a deposit — several external complaints center on FIP, and veterinary sources confirm there is no definitive pre-purchase test that predicts future FIP risk, so treat this as a documentation request, not a screening test.
  • Get the written health guarantee, contract, and microchip/registration paperwork in hand before final payment, and get written clarification of the applicable return window: the cattery's Policies page describes a 3-day vet-exam-then-24-hour-return process, while its separate Sale Agreement describes a 72-hour window instead. Also note the one-year genetic guarantee (HCM/PKD) explicitly excludes parasites and viruses, per the Sale Agreement — the same categories several external complaints describe.
  • The seller's own site states kittens are sold only in person, from Kent, WA, south of Seattle, by Angela — and warns that other sellers claiming to offer “their” kittens are not legitimate. Buy only through the official site or verified direct contact, not through a third party claiming to resell from this cattery.
  • Keep all payment records; deposits are non-refundable ($500 toward the current $3,500 kitten price), which was also the subject of at least one external complaint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Angel of Siberia LLC accredited by the Better Business Bureau?

No. The BBB lists Angel of Siberia LLC with an A+ rating, but its profile explicitly states the business is not a BBB-accredited business. BBB's letter rating and accreditation status are two separate things — the rating reflects BBB's own scoring methodology, not a certification of the cattery's practices. The BBB profile also currently shows 0 complaints and 0 customer reviews.

What health guarantee does Angel of Siberia offer on its kittens?

Per the cattery's own published policies, kittens are sold spayed/neutered with a written contract, a veterinary exam certificate, and a genetic-disease health guarantee. The breeder's Policies page and its separate Sale Agreement describe the return window slightly differently: the Policies page calls for a vet exam within 3 days of adoption with a 24-hour return option afterward if a concern is found, while the Sale Agreement gives buyers 72 hours to have the kitten examined and calls for immediate return for a full refund if it's found sick. The one-year genetic-disease guarantee itself covers HCM and PKD; the Sale Agreement separately warrants the kitten's parents tested negative for FeLV/FIV, but does not state the parents were tested for PKD. The guarantee explicitly does not cover parasites or viruses.

Has Angel of Siberia had complaints reported anywhere else online?

Yes. ComplaintsBoard.com, an independent complaint-aggregation site, lists 11 complaints and 1 review for this business (observed August 2026), dated October 2017 through March 2025 and tagged 4 "Resolved" (36%) / 7 "Unresolved" (64%). Most describe kittens that allegedly became ill — including several reports of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) — after purchase. These are unverified consumer allegations on a third-party platform, not findings established by USAComplaints. Separately, no complaints about this business have been filed directly on USAComplaints.com as of this writing.

How do I make sure I'm buying directly from the real Angel of Siberia cattery?

The cattery's own policies page states that all kittens from Angel of Siberia are sold only in person, from Kent, WA (south of Seattle), by Angela directly, and it warns that other sellers claiming to offer their kittens are not legitimate. Confirm you're dealing with the official site (angelofsiberia.com) or a phone number matching (206) 293-1811 before sending any deposit.
