These are the colors I have. I will not be certain of the sex for a while, but I can guess if you see two you like and do not want them to breed. I do not have pictures of them as individuals yet, but read the description and if you like it you can request a picture and I will send you some. (* Stars * Indicate that they already have homes.)

I decided that they best way to move on is by getting another one. Nothing heals the pain of losing a pet then devoting your attention to a new one.
I am looking for a female, seal point or chocolate point. I will not adopt anyone over 5 years old. I just can't lose a loved one so soon again. I know cats live for a long time, but each one is different and you never know. I thought mine would live to 20 or so.
Please send me an email if anyone knows of any Siamese for adoption. I am willing to pay a reasonable adoption fee, especially if they are coming from a rescue center or a pound, or if they are coming from a breeder with papers.
