Meet the Breeder

I am a bit of a perfectionist! I always want my cats and kittens to be super clean. I am very on top of illnesses and problems, doing my due diligence so you  can feel safe and happy with your kitten. Ofcourse this means ALL my cats are genetically tested for HCM, PKD1 and do not have a history of FIP in their lines.  I do not breed any cat that is sick, a carrier for any diseases or possesses any undesirable behavior trait. 

My health guarantee and contract reflect how much I believe in my cats. I guarantee for FIP and any genetic illnesses till the age of 3. I am always ready to help at a moments notice.

My cats are adored and spoiled by my husband and I. Once the Kittens are litter trained they sleep in the bed with us and are allowed free access to my whole home.

 They are a cherished  part of our life. I brush my cats teeth, groom them every day and all our kitties have regular check ups at our local vet. All our kittens are handled from day one and exposed to a variety of sights, sounds and smells. They are  experienced with cat shows & visitors! 

My kittens are NEVER locked in a bathroom and forgotten. They don't hiss and hide under the bed because they are used to being held. My cats are not caged, or unhealthy from being fed a poor nutrient kibble diet. I raw feed because it's what's best for them & their future owners. It's definitely not the easier route, but I spare no expense for them. 

The Ragdoll's Breed standard is outlined by specific looks with a sweet disposition.

Ragdolls can have many different personality traits & temperaments. They can have various cuddliness, activity and confidence levels. Every litter I produce my adopters fill out my 'Temperament & Traits'. 

These are viewable under every Queen's parents profile. This gives my families a better idea of what the litter will turn out like. It's not an exact science as kittens are individuals, but gives you the best way to make an informed decision!

I also choose parents who are cuddly to me (they may or may not be with strangers), very sweet and easy to handle. Some of my adults are more calm and docile while others may be very active and outgoing. I never keep parents that are very aggressive, hard to take care of or exhibit undesirable traits.

Majority of my adults are non matting and medium shedders. 

Week 0-2: Kittens are born in one of my kittens are rooms in a safe enclosed bedding area.

Kittens have heating pad and washable pads. Mom has her own clearly loved pens play pen area just for her. During these first two weeks moms may try to move their kittens so they will not have free access to leave.

My husband and I take turns checking on kittens what feels like every hour! We want to make sure kittens are comfortable & at a safe temperature. I gently touch the kittens for very short periods so they become accustomed early to being held.

Initially begin with short intermissions of petting all areas of the kitten’s body softly (paw pads, belly, tail, around the face).

Week 3-4: Kittens eyes are now fully open and kittens are more comfortable being held longer. At this time my husband and I will carry a kitten around the house or while watching tv. I extend the duration of holding time.

 I hold them upside down, touch their paws,smother them in kisses and more.  At this age they are introduced to litter boxes and raw food while still drinking mainly milk. They learn how to drink from the water fountain.

I start to play their YouTube TV which is puppy desensitization videos. This really helps create unfazed kittens!

Week 5-8: Kittens are exploring and becoming very playful. I now take them to different rooms of the house to explore and encourage cuddling on the bed.

They are used to more 'aggressive handling' and are comfortable with all types of interaction. At this time they receive their first bath while using a lickable cat treat. They will receive 2-3 baths before going home. 

Week 8-10: Kittens are still being held daily, kissed very frequently and interreacting with guests. Kittens have been used to using the Petkit Automatic Litter robot and get to explore the living room now!

They play with guests during Kitten Cuddles Visits and experience a variety of different people. They  become part of the home and our family. I will do a few training hours of hanging out in their individual carriers.

I make sure all kittens have acquired appropriate grooming & litter box habits and are outgoing & ready to adjust to their new homes. During this time they sleep in the bed with my husband and I.

I absolutely love this age where I can wake up to purring faces. 

Week 11-14: During this time kittens will have gotten spayed and neutered. I make sure they are in great health for their new homes as well as fully litter box trained.

Kittens are super used to all aspects of grooming, which includes brushing and nails. Every kitten should be easy to handle and touch!
