it's time for a little update. We have a very turbulent period behind us, where we moved. Now moving is not that extreme, but with the kids already switched schools and all the driving back and forth (better: Mountain up and down..) since August, plus the kittens, the timing was just really bad all together. Slowly I am getting everything back on track. My sincere apologies to everyone who waited a bit longer than usual for replies. I have the website up to date again. The first next litter is planned for 2025, we all need a little break where we just have time to get used to the new home and enjoy each other.
I wish all my dear Cat-Friends and followers the best and thanks for the massive support and many request for our beauties.
All 7 kittens have found their home. Viv & Stella stayed together and are doing so well with their new family. Hugo has joint a big Main Coon Brother and is adapting very well. Cloé went to a family very close to where we live, where Betsie (our retired female) also is living. Hermes is living with our former breeding cat Chamilla together, they are bonding very well! Valentino will soon join a family with a Norwegian Forest Cat in Vaud and I'm so proud that my pretty Coco has joined the breeding program of Cattery Ragdolls von Buchsee here in Switzerland. I am looking forward to her future offspring.
These 4 beauties born with my dear friend Esther, have found their new home. Thor has moved to family of Esther, Masumi & Levi will stay together, and Skye will join a household with a dog, 2 cats and 2 little kids. Such a joy to make families happy.
We have some exciting news. It's going to be a long process, but the beginning is there. We have bought a new kitten from Katarina in Sweden. The kitten's name is: SE*Point Lookout Shawnee-Tahoe. It will be a while before he joins us in December, but I can tell you that he is chocolate and mitted. Now the big search for a beautiful lady who also wears chocolate can begin, but the beginning is there. I am very grateful to Katarina for allowing us to buy a kitten from her lines in this colour. Pictures will of course follow as soon as he is with us.
We have some sad news, but also some good news. Sadly, Betsie was not pregnant for the second time. Betsie's behaviour in our small group of cats and her discomfort with kittens made us decide to have her spayed. We have found a lovely warm home for her and she will be moving there this month. Sadly Betsie did not produce any offspring, but the welfare of our animals is always more important than producing offspring! Betsie will live together with our kitten Cloé, after Nicoletta and Gary. How lovely is that!
Our sweet Chamilla moved into her new forever home a week ago after her sterilization. She and Boaz have given us a dream litter. Unfortunately, not every cat is completely suitable as a mother and the combination with Chamilla's violent heat every 3 weeks, made us decide to spay her. Because we want to stay small as a cattery, she has been rehomed. All her kittens have also found very nice homes. Her daughter Olive will move in 2 weeks to a small cattery in the USA. Lemon has moved to my mother Ineke, where he will live with Gary. Princess Peaches will stay with us a bit longer, possibly taking the place of her mother. The other 3 kittens have moved within Switzerland.
Nicoletta gave birth to 8 kittens 3 weeks ago. Never before have we had such a large litter. By now they all have their eyes open and are all growing as desired as well. We will contact the people on the waiting list next week. This litter will get names after Designers.
We can't wait to see how they continue to color and develop and if Nicoletta's beautiful eye color is inherited.
I have updated our website and added a page with all the links and discount codes we are able to offer you. You may of course also use these when you are not buying a kitten from us. Not always we can offer a discount, but we like to share the products we use and love as well. All the companies written down under "links", are those we are very fond of our selves and like using the product from for our beloved cats and kittens. Have fun shopping!
Did you know that our Website has aired exactly one year ago?! It has costed me lots of hours to maintain and create, but I receive so many lovely feedback on our website, that it is worth every single second. Are you still missing information? Please tell me, I am always open to improve!
Chamilla has given us a most beautiful litter of 6. They are all so lovely and great looking. Unfortunately being a mother was not really her cup of tea, we have decided, together with our Vet, that it would be better to spay her and only breed her once. We are very sad, because Chamilla is a true Ragdoll in every way. We will plan her being spayed later this month.
We are very overjoyed though, that we have found Chamilla a PERFECT forever home among a family that was on our waiting list for a kitten.
I am sure she will be a spoiled cat and that the family will have a lovely pet-friend with her.
Due to this unfortunate situation, we will definitely make sure that her line will continue and are planning on keeping Princess Peaches and -/or Lemon. Their Sister Olive will fly all the way to Louisiana US, to a small familiar breeder. The other three kittens will be joining lovely families and stay pets. They will all move out in August.
SwissDolls Toulouse & Berlioz are living together with their new human Mother Lorena. SwissDolls Roquefort is living his forever life together with Bristisch Shorthair Leo and a three headed Family.
SwissDolls Duchess will join our breeding program and stays at home in Switzerland, as well is Thomas O'Malley. He will live his life outside the cattery in a lovely family. I'm very happy we could make this perfect match, so he can be a pet and still join our breeding program.
We are so Prout of this little sweet girl. She will join our breeding program. She is a beautiful mitted girl, just like her mother. Her DNA is tested great and she has a lovely character.
Nicoletta & Betsie have had their first PKD and HCM screening on their first birthday. Both had a super result and have green lights to become mothers. We are looking forward breeding with both of them.
We've made it trough the first week. Every kitten gained weight and is looking great. They start to color a little bit now. Ragdolls truly are magic-fluff-balls. You never know what to expect :-) There are four boys and two girls. Depending on how they will grow up, one girl will stay in our Cattery, together with Duchess (from Boaz & Lou Lou). They will replace their parents who will retire.
So may I present to you our SwissDolls fruit litter; All are bicolor. 3 will be blue and 3 will be seal. Peaches (Seal - female) - Olive (Blue - female) - Kiwi (Seal - male) - Banana (Blue - male) - Lemon (Blue - male) - Pear (Seal - male). So excited to see them grow and develop! The families on top of our waiting list are contacted. There are no kittens available from this litter.
We want to bring a bit more lynx in our breeding program. What do you think of this handsome boy from Poland? He is a big cuddle bear. He is born the 5th July 2023. We hope he will give us beautiful kittens in the future.
It was a long night without any sleep. But our beautiful Chamilla and Boaz have given birth to a beautiful litter of 6. Chamilla has a natural mother instinct, and took very well care of her offspring. They are all growing and gaining weight. Pictures will follow soon.
Today Boaz went to the specialist for his annual check - up. We are very glad that his heart is still free from HCM and no signs of other organ damages. Also we've done a full bloodwork check, better safe than sorry. Our boy is very healthy and we received many compliments on him. Currently we are enjoying his first offspring with Lou Lou. Please look how cute his son Toulouse is growing.
After a lot of waiting, Lou Lou had her first litter on the 2nd of February. She is doing so great with her babies! I'm very prout of her. May I present to you: SwissDolls Aristocat-litter: Duchess - Thomas O' Malley - Berloiz - Toulouse - Roquefort. 4 Boys and 1 Girl.
So Nicoletta is a little over two weeks in our house. After her quarantaine (and Vet-check) ended, she is now starting to explore our house bit by bit and getting to know us and the three other girls. She is very funny, playfull and super cuddly. I'm very glad this new girl joined our Cattery. Let's hope her beautiful eye color (yes they are extremly beautiful & dark) will be passed on to her future babies.
So we have just visited the veterinarian for an ultrasound on Lou Lou. And guess what?! She is pregnant. I'm over the moon and I pray that everything will go well with our sweet Lou Lou and she will give us some pretty & healthy kittens.
Time to introduce you to our new Youghster Chamilla. Chamilla is a big girl, and a talker. She is born in March 2023, so we will test her DNA first and Ultrasound when she turns one year old next year. Chamilla is a Seal Bicolor carrying dillution. So her future babys can also be Blue.
So I started something new for my kitten buyers and people on our waiting list.. I've made our first Newsletter. Some tips & tricks can be find and information about new litters, future plans or developments in our little Cattery. I will safe them on the website as well, so everyone that is interested (for now, only in German, sorry) can take a look. If you also want to receive our newsletter, please send an email and I will add you.
Intending on making the newsletter every season of the year. What do you think of this idea?
First peekaboo of our new Youghster Betsie Blue. A big thank you to Sandra from My Epic Cattery in Belgium who trusted another cat to our Cattery. Betsie is a big cuddlebear, and says hello to every new visitor. She is born the 10th of May 2023, so we will test her DNA and Ultrasound when she turns one year old next year.
As we have retired Pippi and Mirabel, both after just one litter, (and Mirabel only gave us boys..), we've purchased ourselves new future queens, with a nice Pedigree. No more tortie or creame unfortunately, so in the coming years no more Red Kittens for us. Going back all traditionall.
They are currently in the Netherlands with my mother Ineke and our stud Boaz. Getting to know each other and giving Boaz someone to play with. Late October I will bring them in Switzerland to stay and live with me and my family, and Lou Lou (our only Queen left) will go back to my mother to stay with Boaz. Lou Lou adores my Mother, so she will be happy I guess. Hopefully she will bring us some beautiful Kittens later this year. The first attempt did not work out unfortunately, the Vet made an ultrasound last Thursday, everything looks just fine and we've got green lights to try again. The first attempt was a bit of a wild card I have to admit. My mother was spontaneous visiting with Boaz, and Lou Lou was already in her 6th day of heat. They really liked each other, next attempt we wil do by the book on the 2nd day.
Pictures of our new girls will follow in October...
I'm very happy that Mirabel found her new forever home with a very nice Family in Switzerland. She will live together with SwissDolls Delta, her son. They will move out together half September when Delta is 13 Weeks of Age. It was a very hard decision, but you have to take care of your Animals. As a breeder, I still put my cats happiness in the first place. Mirabel needs a quiet envoirement, without dominant cats mobbing her. Delta has a lovely Character, and I expect them to be very happy togehter in the future.
I'm very happy that Pippi found her new forever home with a very nice Family. She will stay in Switzerland and will live together with SwissDolls Alfa. Son of Mirabel von Klettgau and My Epic Boaz. It will definitly bring some tears, but I'm glad that Pippi can enjoy her retirement with a lovely family and a perfect Garden to explore and play. She will love that. They will move out together half September when Alfa is 13 Weeks of Age.
Today Pippi got spayed and is officially retired. Luckely everything went well during surgery, let's hope the recovery will go fine as well. When she is all recoverd and put on some weight (the kittens really took all her fat... ) we will find a nice place for her to enjoy the rest of her hopefully long life.
18-7-2023
The Kittens from Mirabel von Klettgau & My Epic Boaz are starting to eat. Always a milestone when they start :-). 4,5 Weeks now.
Finally, we did it! Making websites is not really my thing, but I believe it worked out pretty well :-)
We will continue to work on a multiple language-website, but for now it remains in Englisch.
We do however, also speak German and Dutch, so if you want to require for more Information, please don't hesitate to do so in one of those languages!
Thanks for Visiting!
Carin
