Like others we discovered Mystic Melody after learning about the unique qualities of Siberians. Our beloved Nikki, a gorgeous tortoise-shell calico, finally succumbed to kidney failure at 18 and my wife had become allergic in her final years so we feared we could not offer our home to another cat (something I know Nikki would want). My wife contacted Judith after finding her website and we began the process. Now mind you, this was our 1st experience with a breeder and/or a pedigree cat (Nikki was adopted from deceased friend of friend) so we don't have much to compare but it's almost unimaginable that there could possibly be someone out there who cares more about their cats and/or more diligently screens prospective placements than Judith Johnson. She proactively tries to match family and cat personalities as well as working with people on allergen expectations, volunteering fur samples and in our case even allowing a three-day in-home test. In the end we were a match for Pushka, a 14 month old brown classic tabby with white she was retiring from breeding, who's been an amazing addition to our family so far. She definitely lived up to her billing for intelligence, athleticism and affection. Judith has followed-up several times after the "closing" to make sure kitty and family are adjusting smoothly which has been greatly appreciated (our kids were wanting to shower a little more affection than she was ready for initially but everyone's calmed down now)! We had an impromptu "mini-party" the weekend before last with seven adults plus eight kids and Pushka was the hit of the party - people couldn't believe how she was "working the crowd" for attention/affection and didn't seem the least bit intimidated. I can, without any hesitation or reservation, wholeheartedly recommend the Siberian breed and Judith as the person from whom to get one of these amazing companions!

We had a very positive experience working with Judith, and I would certainly recommend Mystic Melody to anyone who is looking for a well-socialized and beautiful pet. My husband is severely allergic to cats, so I had given up on ever being able to have a cat again. But then we started learning more about the Siberian breed and their naturally low allergen levels. I looked at many other breeders' websites, and talked with other breeders on the phone, but both my husband and I felt most comfortable with Judith. She was very professional and answered all of the questions we had. She even sent us a sample of fur and allowed us to visit her home so that my husband could take an "allergy test" before we decided to adopt a kitten. Happily, my husband did not react, and we were able to get our little Gwyn. Throughout the adoption process, Judith kept us informed of Gwyn's progress and let us know what to expect when we brought her home. It is evident that Gwyn received excellent care at Mystic Melody, as she is healthy and very well-adjusted. She is always friendly with new people, and we have never once had a problem with her scratching furniture or not using her litter box. She really is a little bundle of joy, and we feel blessed to have such a wonderful pet from Mystic Melody!"
Thanks so much for everything!

I cannot commend Mystic Melody Siberians enough for their excellent care and breeding standards.
When I began shopping for a cat, I wanted a Siberian for the reduced-allergen properties of the breed. I was very impressed with the presentation on Mystic Melody’s website and blog. Here was a breeder who clearly loved their cats and loved showing them off. The cats were beautiful and well-presented; their living conditions clean and homey. I was also very impressed that Mystic Melody was concerned about the suitability of prospective kitten owners and asked me to complete a questionnaire. This showed me that they were keenly interested in making a successful, long-term match between a pet and an owner, not just making a sale. After interacting a few times with Judith, I was uncomfortable with any of the other breeders with whom I had made initial inquiries. Even though some of them had kittens available immediately, I knew I would get a better result waiting for a Mystic Melody kitten.
And I was right. Not only did Judith keep us posted regularly as our kitty grew with fabulous pictures and home movies on her blog, but when we finally got him home, we knew it was worth the wait. Our Presley is just what we had hoped for. Gregarious, playful, cuddly and tolerant. He purrs for each person each morning and again when we see him later in the day. It was not hard to fall in love with such an easy going boy. While being raised in the Mystic Melody Cattery – Judith’s home – Presley learned how to love and trust his humans, how to relax and play, how to be curious, and, best of all, how to use the litter box and scratching post. He hasn’t had one accident or scratched any of my furniture. He adjusted to our home with ease. Presley is my children’s first pet and he will teach them so much about the wonder of loving a pet and about the important responsibility we have to care for other living things. I credit Mystic Melody with giving Presley a healthy and loving foundation and for sharing a piece of their heart with my family. Thank you, Mystic Melody, for your great work! You have a happy customer in the Rubin Family!

We truly love our sweet Alex. He was a wonderful addition to our family. Judith did a great job matching him with us. He was exactly what we were looking for in a cat…..amazing personality, loyal, and gentle. He is also very intelligent, which has made training very easy. And he is absolutely gorgeous!
Alex is extremely gentle when playing with our children and their small friends. Judith did a fantastic job training him not to use his claws when playing. In the 4 weeks that we’ve had him, he has yet to scratch any of them. Amazing!!!
Alex is very loyal and loving to every member of the family. He loves just being with us. We LOVE him more than words can express! We are very blessed to be his owners. Thank you Judith for everything!

We
so enjoyed our experience with Mystic Melody!! Your care and concern
and professionalism was wonderful. You were a pleasure to purchase a
kitty from!! Your excellent care of your kitties is evident in
everything you do; including keeping their new families so up-to-date
before their arrival.
We LOVE Scooter!! He has bonded
with all of us - especially Ally. He has a little routine now and
sleeps with her in her bed every night!! He is our spoiled baby. He
just took a nap with me this afternoon before Ally was home from
school. When she gets home she picks him up like a baby and he
immediately begins to purr. He rolls over on his back for tummy rubs
and is so affectionate. He has also grown alot! My vet really likes
him and at his two check-ups said both times "you've really got a
healthy great kitten there"!
Thanks again,
The Goodnights

My experience with Mystic Melody has been amazing. I first contacted Judith in April 2008 about getting a kitten from her first litter. From that moment on we were in constant communication and I learned that Judith was the most caring and responsible breeder I could have asked for. She kept me updated on everything that was going on with the kittens. Whenever I had a question Judith would email me back right away. And the Mystic Melody website is fabulous! I was on the blog almost everyday looking at pictures of all the kitties. She would post pictures, videos and anecdotes and it was so much fun to see what was going on at Mystic Melody.
When my family received our kitten, Boris, we fell in love right away. Boris had a loving and playful personality. He used the litter box and scratching post with no problem. He never scratched the furniture and was great with my two young boys. After receiving some vaccinations Boris got sick with FIP, a rare and non-hereditary illness that took him from us. This is a random illness and was no reflection on Mystic Melody. Our family was devastated and so was Judith. She wanted to make everything right. She offers a health guarantee and she sticks to it. She offered to pay all of the vet bills and return the money I had paid for Boris. But that is not what I wanted so*
My family decided we wanted to give Niko, the father of Boris' litter, a home. Judith thought that was a wonderful idea. She had plans to retire him in 2009 so we were going to wait until he was ready. But Judith wanted my family to have our beautiful Siberian cat sooner than that. She retired him early for us, in October 2008, which was so very generous. Then Judith and her husband drove over 7 hours to my home to bring him to us! Niko is a gorgeous Siberian and my family is enamored with him. He has a calm and loving personality. He is well trained to be a family cat and loves his people.
My family is so happy with the attention and communication that we received from Judith. She is a smart, responsible, caring breeder who always does what is best for the kitties. Mystic Melody knows what they are doing and our experience with them was fantastic. I would recommend them without hesitation.
Thank you, Judith!
