"I’ve never personally met Angela, but I first reached out to her back in March after I lost my Russian blue mix Winston. I was beside myself and heartbroken over his loss. After looking at her Russian blue website I called Angela and found her to be very comforting through my unbearable grief as she not only took the time to give her testimonies, but listened to me vent. I love Russian blue cats and find them to be the most mesmerizing of all breeds because of their rare beauty. I am from California and rescued a mix blue kitten, as it was so close by and she needed a home. It has been 5 months since we lost our beloved Winston and I am missing having a male kitty, and Angela keeps me in the loop and on her list as a potential parent to her beautiful breeds. I want to Thank God for introducing me to mishkarussians, as I’ve developed a connection to Angela not only as a Breeder, but as a friend too! Big Thank You!! "

"We are greatly enjoying our Russian White Ziva Starr, who has grown to 5 lbs! She is a very cute, smart and playful kitten (who, by the way, is looking through the glass door to the office saying, “Let me in!”). Ziva loves chasing toys (and other things) and bringing them back to us so we can throw them again. She also loves lying on our laps and being held. She even licks and kisses us – the first cat either of us has had that has ever done that! She is talkative, but not obnoxious, and loves music – lying peacefully on the piano (fortunately not the keys – at least most of the time) while it’s being played.
Although Russian Whites are not officially considered non-allergenic, we have found that we have not had the allergies with her that we have had with other cats. Not only are we truly enjoying Ziva, but we very much appreciated the process of acquiring her.
The staff at Mishka’s Russians quickly and honestly answered our questions while we were in the review and purchasing process. They were also accommodating to us and our needs in delivery of the kitten to us. This has been a delightful, successful experience!"

"I Love my Russian Blue Boy, and my Russian White girl. They are spoiled rotten and a wonderful pair of fun kitties. I appreciate Angela sending me weekly pictures of the kitties before they were old enough to be brought home. They are a pleasure to have in my life. Thanks, Angela for my two wonderful kitties."

"I would recommend anyone interested in getting a Russian Blue contact Angela. She is a wealth of knowledge and will answer any questions you may have. Her cats are absolutely beautiful and have the best temperament!
​
The adoption process was so easy and we looked forward to and appreciated the periodic photos Angela would send of our kitten’s growth.
​
Once home, “Greta” adjusted quickly. She’s super smart and it’s fun to watch her problem-solve as she plays with her toys. She is very affectionate too, both with her “humans” and to our adult cat, both of which she likes to snuggle up to and nap with.
​
Angela’s passion for the Russian Blue breed is clear and we now understand why. Our cat is such a love and brings us great joy. Thank you Angela for allowing us the opportunity to experience all the good things that come with owning a Russian Blue."

"I couldn't be happier with my little odd-eyed Russian White kitten. He's a gorgeous, gentle baby boy and is everything Angela Promised and more. He's a healthy, playful little lap cat who fits in perfectly with my family. He brings so much joy between his sweet companionship sleeping on my lap during the work day and hos clowning around making everyone laugh with his curious antics in the evenings. His easy going personality fits in perfectly with my other cats, who have taken to him as if he were their own kitten.
​
Angela is a consummate professional to work with and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to adopt from her. I'm not sure there's anyone out there more knowledgeable or more passionate about cats and the Russian Blue breed. She talked me through evey single step of the adoption process and was a wealth of knowledge about the breed and cat care in general. It is clear that Angela's breeding practices are pristine and that each and every one of her kittens is raised with love and care. The process to adopt was a breeze, and I will not hesitate to adopt from her again. "

"Our home feels complete with the addition of our little girl! She adapted quickly to her new home and our older Russian Blue has taken to her so well, too. Our kitten is adorable, energetic and such a love bug! We have adopted Russian Blues in other states over the years and have never had such an instant connection to the breeder as much as we did to Angela - she is one-of-a-kind! For anyone considering adopting a Russian Blue, do not hesitate to contact Mishka's Russians with any questions you have. From the day we first contacted Angela to the days and months that followed, she has been extremely responsive to our questions and cares so deeply - not only for her cats but also the families that she meets. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"

"Smokey, our male Russian Blue Point is a beautiful, smart, and a very sweet kitten. He loves to play, also loves to cuddle as well. He is worth every penny spent. Angela has been up front and supportive during Smokey’s first few transitional weeks. I highly recommend her and the beautiful Russian Blues she shares with Russian Blue cat lovers."
-Carolyn in Maryland
"Angela is absolutely fantastic! We got scammed before finding her and we were heartbroken. She has been so helpful when we got our little angel Snowflake (how my 9 year old calls her) that is a Russian White of course! She has explained so much, made the process much easier and we have kept in touch throughout the whole year since we got her. And now we just decided to get another kitten so we had to get her through Angela. We can’t wait for the new Russian Blue kitten to join our family! Absolutely recommend Angela for your little kitties!"

"Thank you Angela for your patience in helping me acquire my first Russian Blue kitten. I was a very cautious buyer as I had already been led astray by fake breeders and web sites. Angela made the entire process easy and predictable. She was always available to answer questions and with her guidance I was able to transition my kitten very quickly. My Petrus is a perfect example of what a Russian Blue cat should be! He has a wonderful and calm demeanor and is very affectionate to both myself and my husband. I had recently had to euthanize my 18-year-old companion and was heartbroken. I wanted to find a new companion quickly and fortunately Angela had kittens available! Not only are her kittens of the highest quality, she is also reasonable in her prices. I have been so happy with my new friend and enjoyed working with Angela. If you are considering a Russian Blue or Russian White kitten you have come to the right place! Forever grateful to you and your family for our perfect companion!"

I began my search for a Russian Blue Kitten over a year ago. I had never had one and wanted to educate myself before I actually purchased my kitten. I ran onto Angela’s website, Mishka’s Russians and I read all of her information on the Russian Blue breed, viewed her picture album, and read her reviews that her clients sent back in. I felt very comfortable with her website. She called me and answered any questions I had at the time. Angela was so kind to send pictures every couple of weeks so we could see our little girl, Skye, grow and change. Angela’s adoption process was both easy and fast. Her adoption contract was very detailed and left nothing out.
​
When we met Angela and received our Skye, it was total love at first sight! I have had domestic cats growing up and when my children were young. I was absolutely shocked at the difference in their personalities. Skye bonded with me and she follows me everywhere and loves to snuggle. I have been amazed at how much she wants to be with me. She has the sweetest disposition I have ever seen in a cat. We could not have been given a more perfect match for us. Skye has a best friend, Rubi Sue, our Miniature Schnauzer.They immediately hit it off and play together. They keep us entertained every day without fail. I just wish I had known about Russian Blues a long time ago. They are truly amazing cats and Skye has surpassed our expectations. We never see any cat hair in our home. I went in thinking, no shedding is impossible. We have been very pleasantly surprised that Skye truly does not shed.
We are enjoying our very first Russian Blue so much. We are absolutely thrilled with everything Angela did for us in her adoption process. We would be more than happy to recommend her cattery to anyone. We brag on her and her breeding program every chance my husband and I get. Thank you so very much!!
