The Full Story
About
Before getting into breeding I was looking for a beautiful cat to have. Then I heard about Ragdolls. My goal has been to breed the traits I feel are most desirable. Deep blue eyes with a long fur coat. We have luckily breeded one female blue lynx bicolor with those traits. We are hoping to compete with her in future cat shows.
Going into the 4th year of breeding, this has been the best experience for me. I am so happy I decided to have gone with Ragdolls.

Deposits will be refundable if cannot find the desired kitten after certain amount of reasonable time. Also full refunds will be given if the kitten happens to get genetic health conditions like HCM, even though the parents were tested negative. There will be health guarantee contract provided during the purchase of the kitten. We love our kittens so much. So we hope new parents keep us updated on their new family member. We would be happy to hear the updates. Just to let us know they are doing well or any questions. It would break our hearts to hear anything bad happen to our babies. Many Ragdolls have sensitive stomachs, so if your kitten ends up having diarrhea it is probably because of the new food. One customer informed me their kitten was having diarrhea, and it stopped after they fed the kitten the brand I recommend.
Delivery
We do international delivery and from state to state delivery. We do accompanied delivery for all of our kittens, even internationally. That means there will be a person that we trust to go on the plane with the kitten. That will either be me or my husband or a trusted family member. We use the Petdi backpack. It is our favorite backpack. It has several openings and is clear, so we can constantly check up on the kitten, or our cat. They love this bag. When it's on the shelf they will try to find a way to get up on the shelf to sleep in it. Because of so many openings on this backpack making it very adaptable in many situations. I love the hole provided on the upper left side of this bag. It makes it possible for me to constantly pet a kitten or cat while walking. Sadly this bag can only be purchased in China now. Next trip to China will buy several of them. It is also very sturdy, which is what a cat needs.
Delivery fee from state to state is 350-500

When kittens leave to new homes
The youngest the kittens leave to new homes is 3 months. But depending on certain situations it may be older. We want to make sure the kittens have enough time to be ready for new homes.
When is the best age to bond with your kitten?
3-12 months old is actually the best time for bonding. Kittens during their 1-3 months stages are actually harder to socialize, because they are separated from their mother. When separated from their mother and smells they are familiar with will actually stress them out instead. After this stage has passed, they start to be very adaptable and love being around people. That is the stage they are the best to socialize and bond with. It is also the time that they usually leave their mother.
Nature's Bounty Fish Oil
We strongly recommend to use this brand of fish oil for your pet. We always feed this fish oil to our cats in the cattery. Without it their fur and paws are dry. Cat food usually doesn't have enough or use the best quality fish oil for cats. With the Nature's Bounty fish oil brand, their fur looks glamorous and paws are well moisturized. It will also decrease the chances of heart illnesses like HCM. Pets that have been diagnosed with HCM, after eating fish oil, their inflammation and symptoms were greatly reduced. It is also just good for their health in general.
This brand can also be purchased at Costco.
Dyson BP04 air purifier
The BP04 is suppose to be 3 times stronger than the BP03. It will filter out ammonia, formaldehyde, and other toxins that we do not know is in the air. Cats are smaller than us. So they are more vulnerable to the toxins in the air than us. We purchased this so the cats and us can have clean to air breath. Because with so many cats, the air gets polluted. It is really important as a Ragdoll cattery or any cattery that breeds to have an air purifier that will successfully remove the toxins in the air.
We have an orange brown cat adopted from someone else. When we got her she was always coughing. Her coughing stopped after buying this air purifier.
