Small & Ethical
What do we mean by this?
Our vision is that you should have time for every individual and every litter. That's why we don't get bigger.
More cats means more stress and more health risks.
A reason for us to replace retired cats.
Cats shouldn't be kept in cages. Our animals walk around our house.
Studs shouldn't be kept in cages either, so we keep him separate from our Queens, so he doesn't get stressed and can enjoy his life in freedom in my mother's house. Just like our Queens do in our house.
We also select our breeding cats very carefully to maintain a high breeding standard.
Unfortunately it is not yet mandatory to extensively test Ragdolls before it is allowed to breed.
We think health is very important and therefore test all our cats on FIV/Felv, test their DNA, Bloodgroup and make an annual ultrasound (HCM & PKD) before the Queen is allowed to visit our Stud. Whithout good results, our cats will be spayed/neutered.
We provide a health guarantee for our Kittens on hereditary diseases.
Socialization
Is so important! We have spent a lot of time with our cats and kittens. It is important that kittens get used to changing situations, new voices, household noises and other animals. They will have a much better start with their new owner, and the owner will enjoy having a well-behaved and friendly companion for life.
Our kittens grow up with small children. They spend most of their time in our living room. After they are born, usually in our bedroom, the litter stays there for the first three weeks. When they start to move around, we introduce them to a bit more space, still in our bedroom. When the litter is ready, depending on the mother, they usually move into our living room at four weeks. We have a clear panel system that we use to keep them safe and prevent anyone accidentally stepping on them when they are so small and moving so slowly. Once they are potty-trained and walking a little more safely, they are allowed to move out of the safe zone and explore the rest of the house. Learn to walk up and down stairs, visit the bathroom and kitchen.
Ragdolls can be sensitive on their stomach and intestines. Healthy food is very important. There is so much to choose from. We are happy to advise our kitten buyers on what we think is the best food.
Human and animal reproduction is a natural process. In order to breed cats and contribute to the improvement of the breed, rather than just reproduce, we try to keep up to date and attend training courses from time to time.
