Quality is not an act, it is a habit - Aristotle

In our home we breed selectively, having only three or four litters per year, with most of our kittens being reserved before they are born. Every litter is bred with the intent to produce Ragdolls that conform as closely as possible to show standards. Quaility is not something we will sacrifice for quantity. Please be wary of any cattery who operates as a "kitten warehouse", offering a multitude of kittens in varying ages from a large number of litters. There is no good and valid reason for any breeder to produce upwards of 30 or more kittens per year.

We have chosen to specialize in bi-colour and mitted Ragdolls because of their unique individuality, no two bi-colours are alike, and their striking beauty.

Upon leaving our home your kitten will have had 3 sets of vaccinations, been early altered, micro chipped, dewormed no less than 3 times, and you will recieve your registration slip for CCA (optional TICA and CFA registration).

Your kitten will leave our home with a starter bag of kitten food, a scratching post, toys, a new kitten booklet full of photos and information, a copy of your kitten's pedigree, all veterinary records, and a 2 year written health guarantee against congenital defects. Further, as of February, 2008 your kitten will go home with a 6 week, complimentary health insurance plan.

I have a no declaw clause in my contract, under no circumstances shall a kitten purchased from me be declawed . As well, your kitten must be kept as an indoor only pet.

My breeding cats are, whenever possible, either CCA, TICA, or CFA Champions (sometimes all three) and have been tested for HCM via DNA testing and scans, PKD, FeLv, FIV, and blood typed.

Kittens are socialized with kids, other cats, and dogs. They are altered at approx. 12 weeks of age and are ready to go to their new homes at approximately 14 weeks of age. The cost of alter is in addition to the price of the kitten, everything else is inclusive.

We do NOT sell breeding cats, however, we may ocassionally have show alter kittens available. The difference between a "show quality" or "show alter" kitten verses a "pet quality" kitten is generally in the markings/pattern. A show quality kitten is perfectly marked, where as a pet quality kitten may have a minor hock spot, an uneven blaze, or mismatched mittens. These kittens are just as beautiful and wonderful as their show quality littermates, but due to the minor cosmetic fault, they cannot be shown. Due to the great challenge in breeding a perfectly marked show kitten, we reserve the right to retain any kittens with show potential; pet quality kittens are placed in homes first.

I do have a wait list, it is kept in chronological order and I only take a few names per litter. I request a $250.00, non-refundable deposit to hold your kitten. If I have a kitten become available from a current litter the next person on the wait list will have the choice to take the available kitten, or remain on the wait list for the next available litter.

I welcome and encourage interested parties to visit my home and my Ragdolls prior to leaving a deposit. It gives both of us an excellent chance to become familiar with one another, and ensures a smooth begining to a happy working relationship.

Please send us an email telling us about your home, family members, other pets, and reasons for wanting a Ragdoll kitten, along with any questions you may have about our kittens or our adoption policies.
