Retired Ragdoll Available:

All of our retired breeders will be spayed and up to date on their vaccines (FVRCP & Rabies) before leaving our home. They will also have full blood work up done, teeth cleaning, nails clipped, grooming/bath, deworming, etc. If you're interested in one of our retired breeders, please consider contacting us sooner than later. We do allow people to reserve our retired breeders in advance, so they don't miss out on owning one of their own. Our retired breeders are $350+, this covers all expenses, and we do factor age into the price. We prefer retired breeders to be placed in homes without very young children, many other cats, or young dogs. We want our retired queens to be loved and spoiled in their new permanent homes. Please contact us at: WillowTreeRags@verizon.net for more information, photos, etc.

Aria is available for reservation, and will be available to leave in June/July. Her adoption fee is $200.00 (cost of her spay, and vet work). Aria is a Seal Point Mitted with lighter point color. She is a petite (and a little low to the ground/short) girl and although a very sweet girl, normally does not seek out people in general to socialize with. Although she is very friendly if you approach her. Looking for an experienced cat owner. She gets along great with other cats/dogs. Would prefer to place her in a home with no children, a quiet home would be ideal.

Why a WillowTreeRags Kitten?

First of all...Our Kittens are raised with children, as well as other cats. All kittens raised here in the cattery are underfoot, we are a cageless cattery (we do NOT own ANY cages), and the kittens are allowed to roam free throughout the house once they reach a certain age and have been properly vaccinated. Once you meet one of our kittens you can tell how much individual love, and care each of them receives. Our cats are the floppiest, and sweetest, and are always constantly purring! We socialize each kitten with household items as well (hairdryers, vacuums, etc). We take pride in every kitten we send to a new home, and love to keep in touch, and see how they grow up.

Secondly...We strive for traditional cats, and ragdolls that hold strong the traditional look. We stay away from lines with big "owl" eyes that are dark, almost black, dull-looking, or too light. We do not breed inbred cats (within 3 generations), nor do we produce any inbred ragdolls. Inbreeding causes severe genetic defects, and can often not be detected until they are over 3 years old. We do not outcross with other breeds, and don't work with ragdoll catteries who do. We believe the ragdoll should have a medium haired coat, that is thick, plush and rabbit-like, they should have a longer coat around the mane, and tail (REMINDER: This is also the STANDARD, Ragdolls should never have LONG, SHAGGY hair). The ragdoll should also have nice vibrant blue eyes, like the ocean. The ragdolls should have large semi-almond like eyes, and ears that are set towards the sides of their head, which face inward. The ragdoll should have rounded medium sized ears (not small like persians). ALL Ragdolls MUST have BLUE EYES. Ragdolls without blue eyes, are NOT pure ragdoll. We believe in keeping the traditional colors: Blue, Seal, and rarely Lilac or Chocolate. Ragdolls should only come in colorpoint, mitted, or bicolor. That said we work very close with the T.I.C.A. & C.F.A. standard, in order to evaluate our breeding program, and the cats being produced in our cattery. Many other breeders are outcrossing to correct a trait or look they want, and getting other non-traditional like qualities, or inbreeding and causing the ragdolls great trouble with illnesses, weakened immune system, and defect/early death.

Lastly...Our ragdolls are backed up 100% by us. If you are unhappy, we will take the kitten/cat back, no questions asked. We keep in touch with every single ragdoll we sell, pets, shows and breeders. Our ragdolls are very well-rounded, it is rare that owners are unhappy with how gentle, sweet, and loving their ragdolls are. They provide families with a ton of entertainment, and are always up for a game! Ragdolls are very relaxed, and do fine with change, they do enjoy traveling, and very much enjoy family life (often referred to as the "Golden Retriever" of the cat breeds), and don't ask for much (they do very well entertaining themselves). All of our breeding cats are DNA tested for PKD and HCM. An altering agreement and no-declaw contract must be signed prior to taking your kitten home, no exceptions. We also have a strict contract against our cats sold as breeders breeding to any mink/solid ragdolls. We are sorry, but this is firm. We do hope you are interested in one of our babies, and would love to talk to you, or even meet you at a local show! Please go to our photo gallery to look at some of our past kittens.

Ragdolls ONLY come in Blue, Seal, Chocolate, and Lilac traditionally. Other colors allowed are Flame, Cream, and Tortie. Ragdoll patterns are Colorpoint, Mitted, and Bicolor, these patterns are also allowed to come in lynx (striping within the color), although we do not usually breed lynx.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, ALL REAL RAGDOLLS HAVE BLUE EYES BECAUSE THEY ARE A POINTED BREED, if your ragdoll doesn't have blue eyes, you DO NOT own a purebred ragdoll. DO NOT fall for those who state on their websites these cats are RARE, they are NOT RAGDOLLS!

WillowTreeRags DOES NOT take any part in breeding solid, or mink ragdolls! We believe breeders who are breeding these traits are doing a great injustice to the Ragdoll breed calling these cats "Ragdolls". We do not allow any cats from our breeding to be mated to any solids or minks, nor their offspring to be mated to any solid or mink ragdolls. These cats are NOT true ragdolls, nor are they allowed to be shown, and they DO NOT follow the breed standard. You can get a kitten that looks like this at your local animal rescue or shelter! If you have a solid or mink ragdoll, you DO NOT HAVE A TRADITIONAL RAGDOLL! DON'T BE FOOLED, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE PAYING THE MONEY FOR A PUREBRED LOOKING RAGDOLL!
