Ragalicious Ragdolls

I first fell in love with Ragdolls when I was 16 years old—even though I only ever had dogs growing up! My mom has always been a huge animal lover, and she really nurtured my love for raising and fostering kittens.
When I was a teenager, I got my very first pedigree cat—a Himalayan seal point—and I loved her to pieces. I hobby bred her with a Scottish Fold for a few years, just learning as I went and soaking up everything I could about cats.

Then, when I was 20, I met my husband Josh. We eventually got married and made the big decision to invest in quality show Ragdolls. That same year, I went to my very first cat shows, and it was such an eye-opening experience. I learned exactly what the judges were looking for in a traditional Ragdoll—especially the importance of a sweet, easygoing temperament and that signature soft “bunny” coat Ragdolls are known for. I also fell in love with a deep blue eye color. Those there traits have remained at the heart of my breeding goals ever since.

Josh and I dove headfirst into making sure our cats were not just beautiful and well-socialized, but also incredibly healthy. It began with eliminating problematic lines (FIP, HCM, weak immune systems). We became total nerds about feline nutrition—especially because Ragdolls tend to have sensitive stomachs. I quickly became obsessed with learning everything I could about raw feeding, and now I love helping other Ragdoll families understand and feel confident about it too. It’s an ongoing process as we have to add in new lines occasionally. We only want what’s best for you and our cats.

Every evening, Josh and I do the cat chores together, and yes—we give each cat their own bedtime kisses. I seriously couldn’t do this without him. He loves these cats just as much as I do, and together, they’ve become our whole world. Our house built for them and our friends see us repeatedly through the week bringing their friends and children. Josh and I don’t travel much, we really prefer to be home watch after our home and kittens. We both don’t cut corners and feel we can’t spare any expense with our kitties! This means we choose wisely what to invest in so they can be as healthy and happy as possible.
