About us

Raised in the house, never in cages

Lynn has loved Siamese cats since she was young. When her own Siamese grew old and passed, she could only find the newer wedge-headed Siamese. It took her a year to find an old-style kitten, so she became a breeder to keep these cats around.

Her girls have their kittens in her bedroom, and she is there for every birth. At three weeks the kittens move to their own room to learn the litter pan and the cat tree. As they grow, they meet the family's dogs and other cats.

The result is a people cat: talkative, in your face and on your lap, and always in the middle of what you're doing.

If you have never owned a Siamese, or should I say be owned by a Siamese, you are in for a great adventure you will never forget.

Reviews

From families with our kittens

I wish I could put into words my feelings about our new addition to the family. Ping has the sweetest disposition. He is full of curiosity and there does not seem to be anything that frightens him. When we have visitors he's looking to see who it is. He has plenty to talk about; especially in the mornings when he demands a full rub down and nose scratch. He is a gorgeous Siamese with beautiful seal points. All of Ping's traits are a tribute to the love and care that you give to your family of Siamese. It is clear that the attention and nurturing you give your sires and 'queens' shows in the quality of their offspring. We are so happy to have found you. Thank you.

Izzie's coloring is just gorgeous and my experience with Southern Traditional Siamese was outstanding. Her father is Mojo and she is very much leaning to the “plus size” of the family. Her sisters are two Golden Retrievers and in many ways she is just like a dog. Izzie’s meow is very very quiet and she is as sweet as can be. Thank you Lynn!

After searching far and wide without success for a healthy Siamese kitten here in Texas, my husband and I decided to adopt a seal-point female from Southern Traditional Siamese in Ponchatoula, Louisiana. What luck! We could not be happier with our Midori. From the very first day, she has been healthy and well- socialized. She made herself at home immediately, greeting her two older “brothers” with a friendly curiosity that they could not resist. They are now all truly best buddies. She is a quintessential Siamese – very playful and energetic with an extremely sweet disposition. She always greets us at the door when we return from work and loves to follow us around the house, watching me cook in the kitchen or listening to my husband practice his accordion in the music room – now that’s devotion! Midori is mischievous and intelligent and a constant source of amusement and pleasure. She is a beautiful girl with deep blue eyes that always capture peoples’ attention. I cannot say enough about what a great cat she is and how much we adore her. She is without a doubt the sweetest female Siamese we have ever had. I feel very fortunate to have found the Southern Traditional website. Lynn was friendly, professional, and easy to work with. I would unreservedly recommend her kittens to any Siamese lover.

After our Siamese cat of 13 years was diagnosed with kidney failure and died, we were heart-broken. Our home felt very empty. My husband and I knew we wanted to get another little companion in our family but couldn’t find the right one. We also had reservations about what we would feed him, because we were concerned that the food we fed our other cat may have caused his problems, even though the vet recommended it. We found our new little baby boy at Southern Traditional Siamese and Balinese. We named him Pai (pronounced pie), it means the cutest. Lynn was so helpful in the first few days while we were adjusting to our new addition to our family. My brother-in-law was here on a visit from Colorado, he is not a pet person, but he couldn’t stop playing with Pai. He actually would go search him out to pet him. Pai is such a character, he loves playing with his feather “da bird” toy. Lynn did a great job socializing him, so that when he came to us he just needed to get familiar with his new routine. He runs and cavorts around the house like he owns it and he does. My husband and I are so happy that we found Lynn at Southern Traditional Siamese and would recommend Southern Traditional to everyone who wants a healthy happy kitten.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I visit to pick out my kitten?

No. Visits stress the mother and kittens and can bring in germs. Lynn sends videos when the kittens are 4 to 5 weeks old so you can choose.

When can I take my kitten home?

Between 9 and 12 weeks, depending on weight, how well they're eating and when Lynn feels they're ready.

Do you ship kittens?

No. You can drive to Ponchatoula, or fly into New Orleans and leave the same day. Airport delivery is $50 to cover gas and parking. Ground pet transport services are another option.

Are deposits refundable?

No. All deposits are non-refundable. If your chosen sex or color isn't in the litter, your deposit moves to the next litter.

Do kittens come with breeding rights?

No. Every buyer signs a spay/neuter contract. Send a copy of the vet bill after the surgery and Lynn sends the registration certificate (CFA or ACA).

Do you ever have adult cats?

Sometimes. Retired adults are adopted out at a reduced price, spayed or neutered and vaccinated, through a strict adoption process.

Looking for an old-style Siamese?

Call or text Lynn. If she can't pick up, leave a message and she'll call you back.
