Ineke

Ineke is the lovely mother of Carin and lives a very happy married life in the Netherlands. She also loves travelling and making art with all kinds of fabrics!

She has such happy memories of living on a dairy farm when she was young. She was always surrounded by animals, helping the cows to give birth and cuddling the cats. She was no stranger to kittens and loved the idea of joining her daughter Carin with the cattery.

After her last cat died in 2022, there was room to get our own stud. Our King lives with her in the Netherlands in freedom in the house. As she is freshly retired, she has lots of time to give him cuddles and take him as a companion on travels.

Carin

Carin is a married mother of three who lives in Gersau, Switzerland. She is the founder of SwissDolls Cattery.
She loves exploring other countries, photographing, and spending time with her family and close friends. She is originally from the Netherlands but is been living in Switzerland since 2014.

She loves animals in general and always wanted to become a veterinarian, but decided to do something medical for people instead.
She has always loved animals and has lived with cats for most of her life.

In 2021, the time had finally come: she decided to take the plunge and founded SwissDolls! The kids had so much fun with the kittens and we loved making other families happy pet owners. So we went ahead - and it was the best decision ever!

Esther

We're so lucky to have our close friend Esther living in the Netherlands too! She's been breeding dogs and cats for more than 25 years, so she really knows her stuff! Esther lives with her beloved pets and has two wonderful grown-up children and two adorable grandchildren. Esther is not only our dear friend but also our biggest supporter when it comes to breeding. You could say she's our mentor and the one who first suggested we get a registered cattery. We've also introduced Esther to Ragdolls, as she'd never bred this wonderful breed before. But there's so much to love about Ragdolls! She had to have one of her own, and we get so much joy from working together. Esther is our go-to for help and answers to all our questions.
