The Ragdoll

The Ragdoll Cat was first established in the early 1960's by Ann Baker
 of California. Little did she realize what wonderful creatures she produced.
 It is unprecedented  in the history of the cat fancy that a breed has taken
 over the hearts and homes of so many people so quickly. This would
 explain why some Ragdoll breeders find it difficult at times to keep up with
 requests for kittens.
Ragdolls are real cuddlers...a more loving pet you will not find. They are a
 true companion with whom you can expect nothing less than an endless
 supply of love. Besides their incredibly sweet personalities you will be
 captivated by their beautiful coats, classic pointed pattern, not to mention
 their stunning blue eyes (all Ragdolls have blue eyes).
 

Colors and Patterns

Colors:  Ragdolls come in a variety of colors. The pointed Ragdoll comes
 in 6 traditional pointed colors of Seal, Blue, Chocolate, Lilac (sometimes
 referred to as Frost), Red, and Cream. Ragdolls also come in
non-traditional pointed colors which are Tortie point (pointed calico) and
 Lynx  point (tabby markings). Or even a combination of the two which is
 called a Torbie (calico with tabby markings).
Patterns: Ragdolls come in 3 patterns.  The most basic is the Color Point.
  This cat is a pointed cat without any white on its body. To get other
patterns, mitted and bicolor you simply add white to the basic pattern.
 
White mittens on the front legs and white boots on the back legs along with
 a little white chin produce the mitted pattern. All white legs and under the
 belly along with a white inverted 'V' on the face produce the bicolor.
 
Another semi-pattern is that of the Lynx.  Lynx is tabby striping on the
 points of the cat. This can be combined with any of the available colors.
 
You can see many of the colors and patterns that we offer in our Photo

Quality and Pricing
Quality: Our pedigree Ragdolls are bred and raised with high standards
 in health, temperament and socialization. Kittens are chosen on first come,
 first serve basis for the quality selected. A small deposit will hold your
 choice of kitten until the kitten is ready to leave its Mom and go to its new
 home. Kittens are available to go to their new homes by 10 to 12 weeks of
 age. At that time they will have gone to the Veterinarian, had their first
 kitten shots, deworming and a total health check. Your kitten also comes to
 you with a 1 year fatal genetic health guarantee. All of this is to assure you
 of the health and quality of your new family member. All pet quality kittens
 are sold under contract that they Must be spayed or neutered.
Pedigreed Kittens come in three different qualities. Show quality, pet
 quality, and  breeding quality. You will need to decide what you want to do
 with your kitten before you can decide on the quality you need. It is
 important to take time to think about it as your kitten is going to be with you
 for many years.
Show Quality is the best example of a particular breed; they have the best
 markings  and they are expected to come closest to the breed standards. If
 you think you or your family would like the option and experience of
 showing cats then you would definitely want to look at show quality kittens.
  Some people want show quality kittens; not to show, but to have the best
 physical example of the breed that they are purchasing.
Pet Quality kittens do not come as close to the breed standards. This
 means they are beautiful kittens that might have a miss mark (this can vary in
 degree) or their eye color may be  a little light. This prevents them from
 being shown in the cat ring. The majority of kittens are pet quality, but that
 does not make them any less a Ragdoll with all their wonderful attributes.
Breeding Quality cats must be in top condition and in the best of health.
  Before you consider whether or not you would like to become a breeder
 you will want to do a lot of research. There are many pros and cons to
 breeding and shouldn't be rushed into. Take your time and talk to various
 breeders. Go to some cat shows, that will be a good place for you to start
 and you will have many breeders in one place to talk to about all the aspects
 of raising pedigreed cats.
Pricing: Each Kitten is evaluated for quality and pricing. Please contact us
 to see what we have available and for the cost on each individual kitten.
