We are registered with The International Cat Association (TICA), Ragdoll International (RI), and Ragdoll Fanciers Worldwide Club (RFWC).
Ragdolls are blue eyed cats that come in these basic patterns: colorpoint,
bicolor, lynx or "tabby", mitted, tortie, and flame. The traditional
colors are seal (very dark brown to black), chocolate, blue (slate grey-blue),
and lilac or frost (soft pinkish grey). In recent times, other colors are
red and cream.
Background: Ann Baker from California was the breed founder of Ragdolls just prior to 1965. She bred a white Persian or Angora type cat named Josephine with a sacred cat of Burma (Burma type cat) whose subsequent offspring were then crossed with a sable Burmese type cat. The name was chosen because of its ability and habit of relaxing in the same manner as that of a "Ragdoll". Ragdoll kittens love to play, curious as all kittens and cuddle. As mature adults, they are great with children, love company and are close companions. They have puppy-like characteristics by following their owners around the house and they love to play and do tricks. They adapt well in their new surroundings with family pets. Ragdolls have a quiet voice and they are strictly an "indoor cat". The cats are not big fighters and should never be let outdoors unless they are in a cat run or supervised on a leash and they should not be declawed. Here is a link showing why we do not allow declawing: http://www.xmission.com/~emailbox/declaw.htm . Ragdolls cats are listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest domestic cats. Neutered males can weigh between 15-25 pounds and spayed females weigh about 5 pounds less. They do not reach full size until about 3 years of age. A Ragdoll's fur is semi long and has a silky texture that requires minimal grooming.
