Ragdoll Cats Florida - How To Find a Ragdoll Breeder in Florida

Thursday, September 15, 2011 by Amanda W
When it is time to obtain your first or your next Ragdoll the number of choices may be overwhelming.  Assuming you want a registered kitten then your first step is to choose a breeder.  Finding a breeder can be difficult and the search is always best started online.

The search may become overwhelming but by doing a specific search the right breeder may be found.  Search specifically for Florida breeders if you are in the area or for a surrounding area if none can be found. One must also decide whether the newest addition to your feline family will be a show cat.

If a show cat is desired then one should make sure the breeder is recognized by TICA (The International Cat Association) and/or for CFA (Cat Fancier’s Association). You can also check the breeders track record as far as winning Ragdolls.

If the Internet offers too many responses ask friends for recommendations.  Many breeders would be happy to offer a tour of the facilities or send photos of available kittens upon request.

For further information or ideas on finding a breeder check out the Ragdoll blog.

How to Find a Ragdoll Cat Breeder

Monday, September 12, 2011 by Amanda W
Having the companionship of a Blue Lynx Mitted Ragdoll or Bicolor Ragdoll or any Ragdoll breed is a pleasure. Their docile and affectionate personality only add to the beauty of their intense blue eyes and silky coat of this large muscular cat. It seems as though they melt into your arms when you pick them up, just as they melt into your heart. That is what makes this such a unique breed of cat.

The Ragdoll breed is a recognized breed throughout the United States and the United Kingdom. Finding a breeder can be as easy as searching with an Internet search engine. It is important, however, to know what you want when you begin looking. If, for example, you wish to find a breeder because you simply love Ragdoll cats, most breeders will suffice. However, if you desire to show your cat, you would be most successful looking for a feline registry association. Not all registries accept all variations of the Ragdoll breed,though.

Whether you are looking for a show cat or a companion, these cats will melt your heart.  This breed is very unique and can only bring pleasure to any cat lover.

Ragdoll Rescue Texas - Resources for Finding a Ragdoll Cat In Need in Texas

Sunday, September 11, 2011 by Amanda W
Deciding to adopt a Ragdoll instead of buying from a breeder is a noble decision for any current or future owner.  There are so many Ragdolls that are in need of forever homes, as is common with any pure breed of animal.  Sometimes new owners cannot meet the needs of a pet and they end up in a rescue that attempts to find a loving home.  While there is not one main organization to rescue Ragdolls, there are several small organizations that specialize in the breed.

There is a Ragdoll and Maine Coon Rescue in Texas called Merlin's Hope.  Merlin's Hope has been rescuing since 2005 and has re-homed and coordinated rescues for 600 plus cats. The rescue is quickly becoming mostly Ragdolls and will arrange transport if someone is interested in a Ragdoll that is in one of their monitored foster homes.

Stories of some of the Ragdoll's previous situations can be found on Merlin's Hope's website.  Read about how these brave kittens survived and how they found a forever home. Just imagine that you could be the one to take a cute Ragdoll from a home of scrounging through cabinets to one with a cat window bed, a personal sisal cat scratching post, and plenty of feather cat toys.

Cat Furniture Products - Cat Power Tower

Wednesday, August 31, 2011 by Amanda W
I have a Blue Lynx Mitted Ragdoll named Monkey.  Her name was not intended to be Monkey but after her first day with us when she climber every piece of furniture, all the curtains, and a few legs the name just sort of stuck.  Monkey is a true climber at heart and we try to be as accommodating as possible but she seems to get bored with the basic cat climbers that we have bought in the past.

Cat Power TowerI started searching Cat Furniture Products and came across the Cat Power Tower.  Monkey loves all the added extras, especially the hiding box that allows for treats and small toys or balls to be hidden in the space.  She also enjoys jumping from platform to platform and napping on top when she gets around to slowing down.

Monkey scratches the sisal cat scratching posts with vigor and then attaches herself to the top platform to watch the toy that can be batted around in a circle.  The toy has had to be replaced several times because Monkey is so aggressive with it, but replacement was as easy as a click.
