Ragdoll Kittens & Cats by Willow Tree Rags Ragdoll Cattery

This page is dedicated to the treasured ragdolls that made WillowTreeRags possible. Without these wonderful cats, WillowTreeRags would have never existed. Each of these cats we hold near and dear to our hearts, and every single one of them have contributed a great deal to the breed through their offspring we now carry on through our own lines.

Our Past Breeding Queens:

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.

Our Past Breeding Kings:

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.
