 The WillowTreeRags Family Tree -Our Three Foundation Ragdolls- Dedicated to the treasured ragdolls that created WillowTreeRags. Without these wonderful cats, WillowTreeRags would have never existed as a cattery known for such robust, healthy, and lovely traditional Ragdolls. These cats were the true back bone of our lines, chosen for traits which no other Ragdoll can compete. Each of these cats we hold near and dear to our hearts although they've been retired. Every single one of them have contributed a great deal to the breed through their offspring which live in our two males, RW. SGC. WillowTreeRags' Apollo Amadeo & TGC. WillowTreeRags' Hans Donsen, and through kittens and grandchildren of theirs who touch the lives of each family they love and are loved by. Lady Abigale Byers A.K.A. "Xanka"
Blue Point Mitted (w/ "Hour-Glass" blaze) Xanka was the first Ragdoll I had ever met in person, and the most remarkable ragdoll I have yet to ever laid eyes on. From the moment I saw Xanka in pictures, she caught my eye. She was a perfectly marked blue mitted, with an hour-glass blaze, and a little mustache. She had the sweetest expression, and her eyes were the most vibrant and sparkling blue I have seen on any other ragdolls other than her own babies. It is one of my biggest regrets that I retired her and didn't keep more of her kittens. Some of her beautiful children are breeders, including our beautiful DGC. WillowTreeRags' Hans Donsen (blue bicolor), and WillowTreeRags' Raggedy Andy (blue bicolor) who lives with Karen MacPhee in Prince Edward Islands, Canada. Xanka has no inbreeding, and NO outcrossing in her pedigree. She was 100% pure ragdoll, and lived up to every single ragdoll trait desired. I have still not found a pedigree I think is as valuable as hers was. I will never run my cattery without a piece of her living on in some of my cats. Xanka will forever be my most precious treasure.
TrexDolls' Clancy of WillowTreeRags
Seal Point Bicolor This is TrexDolls' Clancy. She is a Seal Point Bicolor, and is the mother of our own RW. SGC. WillowTreeRags' Apollo Amadeo. She has produced some very large litters, with some outstanding kittens! She now lives with a good friend of ours in Massachusetts as one of her breeding cats. She also produced a beautiful Seal Point Bicolor female, named WillowTreeRags' Layla with our Donatello. Layla now lives with her mother, Clancy! Clancy carrys some nice traditional lines, and passes on her HUGE size for a female onto all of her kittens. The above picture is of her at about 1.5 years old.
Ch. Angaline's Donatello of WillowTreeRags
CFA & TICA Champion Blue Point Bicolor This is Donatello, a Blue Point Bicolor he was our first breeding male ever, and the foundation of our lines. He is the father of both WillowTreeRags' Apollo Amadeo & WillowTreeRags' Hans Donsen (our current breeding males). Donatello came to us from a small breeder in Colorado who took fantastic care of him. Donatello achieved his Championship title in both TICA & CFA. Unfortunately, he was a little weary about the show halls so we kept him home instead of showing him most of the time. It is a shame he didn't like showing because he was such a beautiful example of the breed. "Donny" as we called him here was a very handsome cat with an extremely large/long body. The above picture is of him at only 10 months old at his first CFA show. He had a beautiful, sweet expression for a male cat, and use to love to talk to everybody in the house (we hear he still loves to talk in his new home). He loved people loved gazing into our eyes while purring. He was such a darling. We swear he use to answer our questions with "yes" or "no"! Dontello was the epitome of a ragdoll temperment wis and retired from breeding in 2007 when his sons took over. We intended on keeping him at the cattery but he wasn't getting all of the attention he wanted, and wasn't accepting of the other males in the house. We thought he would be more comfortable in a home where he was the only cat, and where he could get all of the love he needed. He now lives in Salem, MA with Samira and has plenty of cat trees and attention to keep him happy. Although it was extremely hard for all of us to part with him, his beautiful lines and outstanding health carry on throughout his sons, Apollo & Hans. You will not see a WillowTreeRags pedigree without out beloved, Donatello. You always have a home here and in our hearts, we love you & miss you very much, Donny.

-Our Extended Family Tree- Past Kings & Queens retired with their new loving families. PerfectRags' Maggie Is A Mystery of WillowTreeRags
Seal Torbie Point Bicolor Maggie was retired from our breeding program in 2008. She was such a love, and her kittens were such beauties. Many of our pet owners own Maggie's babies, and love them to pieces. They all have personalities to die for! We retired Maggie early on because she would much rather be with people than her kittens. Maggie is currently in her new home with Ingrid to enjoy life as a retired breeder. :) We love you Mag-Mag!
Thanks Ingrid for loving and taking such wonderful care of Maggie & Silver and Gold!
TheDollHouse' Silver and Gold of WillowTreeRags
*TICA DOUBLE GRAND CHAMPION* *CFA CHAMPION*
TICA's 2008-2009 BEST SEAL TORBIE POINT MITTED, INTERNATIONALLY! Seal Torbie Point Mitted
Silver & Gold is a "torbie", which means she is a TORTIE + LYNX! She is perfectly typed with a wonderful head shape, and has a gorgeous expression (including a very cute blaze on her nose). Silver & Gold has wonderful body length, and a perfect "bunny coat". She is perfectly marked, and has the sweet ragdoll personality to match. At her first show in White Plains, NY she took home 4 finals, at only 8 months old and a female! This is a wonderful accomplishment for such a girl who was only 8 months old. She was in a class against many other ragdolls (13). She continued to show, going as far as California to be awarded ribbons. She finished off the 2008-2009 show season as a TICA Double Grand Champion and the Best Seal Torbie Point Mitted, Internationally. She also achieved Champion status in CFA. Silver and Gold had one litter with us and then was spayed. She lives with another retired breeder of ours, Maggie (above) with Ingrid in Massachusetts! Thank you Ingrid for opening your heart to yet another one of our retired girls! Silver and Gold's daughter WillowTreeRags' Heart Charm Locket carries her lines on in our cattery!
SerenityRags' Savannah's Dream of WillowTreeRags
Blue Point Mitted "Lily" is one of our lovely Queens. Lily has pure traditional lines. It's a pleasure to have her here with us. She is a nice girl, and has a very loving and docile temperament. Always floppy, and purring. She is a very big girl, with a gorgeous traditional look and stunning type. Lily has been such a wonderful mother, and takes outstanding care of all of her plump and outgoing babies! Watch for some of Lily's offspring in the show curcuit! Along with our own TGC. WillowTreeRags' Hans Donsen, she's produced a beautiful Blue Point Bicolor male. His name is WillowTreeRags' Claus Hansen. Claus now lives in Canada with the Ragalong Cattery. All of Lily's kittens are very precious ragdolls, and hold those perfect ragdoll qualities that are so cherished and desired by those who love the breed. Lily is going to live with the Moore Family in Massachusetts, in late January! IowasBestRags' Holly of WillowTreeRags
Test Results for both HCM DNA Mutations (RD & MC) & PKD: Negative From the moment I saw Holly's picture online, I was in love with her! When I finally got the chance to meet her in person when she arrived at our home, I was extremely excited and felt honored to have her as part of our ragdoll family! Holly is a Blue Point Mitted, with an "hourglass" blaze. These markings are some of my favorite, because they are so unique and remind me so much of a traditional ragdoll especially since my first ragdoll, Xanka had the same makings and is a ragdoll I think was one of the closest to the standard, along with having a beautiful pedigree, outstanding health, and a total ragdoll temperament. She is like a Xanka-replica. It always amazes me how Holly can look so much like her. Holly's fathers lines originate from well-bred traditional lines, his lines really caught my eye as they are lines I have been seeking to add more of to my cattery. Holly's mother's lines originate from mostly Lonerock. In Holly's background there is one birman outcross (originally added to bring chocolates into the breed by a ragdoll cattery, "Lonerock") on her mother's side. In this case, Holly is NOT 100% traditional. Although, all of Holly's kittens are SBT registered PUREBRED Ragdolls, and are able to be shown in TICA & CFA. Her Kittens that will be used in breeding programs are as followed: WillowTreeRags' Silk Stocking (Blue Colorpoint Female: Out of Hans), WillowTreeRags' Majestic Hansdatter (Blue Point Bicolor Female: Out of Hans), WillowTreeRags' Bellevue Miramar (Seal Point Mitted Female: Out of Apollo), WillowTreeRags' Apollon Rubellius (Seal Point Mitted Male: Out of Apollo). Holly is also the mother of RFCI's 2009-2010 BEST RAGDOLL ALTER OF THE YEAR, TICA RW. SGCA. WillowTreeRags' Irish Fancy, a Seal Point Mitted (with a white tail-tip) male alter shown in TICA and now showing in CFA and lovingly owned primarily as a pet by Katie Clancy. Holly now lives with the Rudnick's in MA, and is enjoying the good life...being loved!
Ch. Wiseacres Graceful Lady of WillowTreeRags
*TICA Champion* Blue Colorpoint
Now introducing, Gracie! Gracie is a Blue Colorpoint. I had been looking for a nice colorpoint for a while, and in Gracie I found exactly what I was looking for! When I saw her pedigree the first thing I recognize was her grand-father ("Samsun"), was also our beautiful girl Holly's father! I had to welcome Gracie to our cattery once I knew she was related to one of my most cherished kitties here. Gracie is a wonderful sweet cat. She loves people and is eager for attention all of the time. Gracie has a nice traditional pedigree with nice old American lines. Gracie is a very, very big girl! Not only does she had monsterous paws, but also very long legs, a long body, and is BIG and HEAVY! She is the biggest cat in the house (yes, bigger than ALL of our males). Her eye color is also a stunning and vivid blue. Her profile is strong and perfect, she has a great chin, head, and change of direction. She is a flawless Ragdoll, and looks like a boy because she is so large (as a Ragdoll female SHOULD be). Amongst her litters we've had here already, she has produced two Blue Point Bicolors with Hans that will be shown.! I'm hoping that we're able to get a better photo to represent Gracie on our website in the near future. She is quite striking. Gracie will be going home to live with The Farnhams in Indianapolis!! :) Mendelian Geneva of WillowTreeRags
Seal Point Bicolor ("High Mitted") Test Results for both HCM DNA Mutations (RD & MC) & PKD: Negative Now introducing, Geneva! We are so excited to be adding her to our cattery! Known as "Genevie" around the house, she is the sweetest kitty and so spunky. She loves to play and cuddle. She loves chasing all of the younger kittens the house, and loves to wrestle with all of the other cats. Her face is so precious, when you look at her your heart just melts! She has beautiful intense dark blue eye color, and wonderful dark point color. She is a very large girl already, and has wonderful type, body length, and tail length. She has very tall legs, which makes her look even more elegant. She has a wonderful pedigree and a very traditional look! So far Geneva has had some truly outstanding kittens with Hans! Some of her offspring being shown or placed with breeders are: WillowTreeRags' Genevieve Hansdatter (Out of Hans), WillowTreeRags Emily Hansdatter of RhetoricalRags (Out of Hans) WillowTreeRags' Amelia of Medieval (Out of Hans), and WillowTreeRags' Sonya (Out of Tao), and will carry on her, Hans and Tao's outstanding lines. We retired Geneva at a little over 2 years from our breeding program because she was putting out some mismarkings that we would rather work away from. Although the kittens we've kept from her including Genevieve (named after her mother because she looks so much like her), who now lives with us in Geneva's place, are perfectly marked. Geneva now enjoys retired life as a spayed kitty and may be going home to live with one of her sons! :)
