Ragdolls are known for their docile and affectionate nature. They love their owner unconditionally which is why they must be kept indoors as they can easily be stolen by another. They also lack defense so if an animal attacks them, they will curl up into a ball instead of fleeing. If you insist on taking them on nature walks, then a leash and full supervision are required as per to our contract.

​

Ragdolls are the second largest house cat breeds, second to Maine Coon, with their extremely soft and long, silky furs. They will follow you around and persist you for attention. They also lack aggression towards other pets and people which makes them an ideal pet for people with pets or children. Although large dogs can be a tad bit aggressive, I recommend being cautious when introducing. There are many wonderful websites that can instruct how to introduce your new kitten to your dog. Ragdolls sometimes have the tendency to go limp when handled but not all are the same as each has their own unique personalities. They have less shedding and matting but that does not mean they do not need to be brushed! Weekly brushing would be ideal if you want their fur to be silky and soft and reduce hairball issues. 

 

They come in eight different colors: Seal, Blue, Chocolate, Lilac, Red (Flame), Cream, Cinnamon, and Fawn.

Three different patterns: Mitted, Bicolor, and Pointed.

Lynx and Torties varies with each color and pattern.

*Lynx is the striping pattern and tortie is the calico pattern.

Torbies are tortie and lynx combined.

​

*Imperfect markings occur a lot due to the over spill of the bicolor white gene.

REMEMBER: MINKS, SEPIAS, OR SOLIDS IS NOT "RARE". We now have more breeders joining the non-traditional ragdoll breeding program.

​

Minks

Mink Ragdolls are born with color. They are a shade darker to traditionals and a shade lighter to sepias. They supposedly have a plushier fur but not always the case. It depends on the parents.

​

Genetics: (cs/cb) They have one copy of the pointed (cs) gene and one copy of the burmese (cb) gene. A traditional Ragdoll (cs/cs) has two copies of the pointed (cs) gene.

​

Ragdoll History: They are accepted and recognized by TICA, and I believe in other organizations as well. They are not showable but can be showed under new traits. Minks has been in Anne Baker's line back in 1963 that got separated from when Ragdolls first got recognized as a blue-eyed breed. How this happened is that in the 1960's, the Daytons (they worked with Anne Baker at the time) decided to separate from Baker's breeding program and established their own exclusive blue eyed ragdoll group. Later in decades, the Ragdoll breed got established and recognized by CFA in 1993 and many other organizations. Meanwhile, minks were continued on by people who believed in Anne Baker's breeding program and later got discovered by other breeders to continue that line. In our current society, we now have many mink breeders fighting for full recognition of minks as part of the ragdoll breed.

​

Colors/Patterns: They can come in any color as traditionals do but one shade of color darker. Their eyes can come in either aqua or green, very rarely blue.

​

Sepias

Genetics: (cb/cb) They have two copies of the burmese (cb) gene.

​

Ragdoll History: They are accepted and recognized by only TICA but not showable. Can only be showed under new traits. There is not much history about the sepias specifically.

​

Colors/Patterns: They can come in any color as traditionals do, but they are two shades darker. Sepias usually get green or gold eyes.

​

Solids

A solid ragdoll is when they have the darkest and highest contrast color of all ragdolls. Solid Ragdolls are not common as most breeders chose to not breed solids and have not yet been introduced properly to society. They face the most discrimination in the Ragdoll community.

​

Genetics: (C) They are non-traditional (non-pointed is another term) Ragdolls meaning they are not pointed/traditional, but they can carry the pointed (cs) gene. The pointed (cs) gene is what makes the traditional blue-eyed ragdolls. So, they can produce both solids and traditional blue-eyed ragdolls. Not all solids carry the pointed (cs) gene. They can also carry the solid (C) gene which gives you all solids or the burmese (b) gene which gives you both solid and minks or even sepia if other parent has the burmese (b) gene. 

 

Ragdoll History: They are a long-lost line found in Ann Baker's creation of Ragdolls. Fun fact: The original creation of Ragdolls is an unknown female domestic white cat named "Josephine" and she gave birth to two black and two seal points. From there, Ann Baker continued her breeding program of creating both pointed and non-pointed kittens who became the founding members of the Ragdoll breed. They are recognized by TICA and can only register with them. Other organizations do not recognize them. They are also not showable but only under new traits.

 

Colors/Patterns: They can come in white, black, blue, cinnamon, etc. They differ from minks, sepias, and traditional as they do not have a "pointed" variety, meaning they don't have shades on parts of their body, but they do have the patterns like mitted or bicolor. Solids can have a variety of eye colors such as green, yellow, or gold. Very few colored solids with blue eyes are heard of but the chances are extremely small. Only BEW (Blue Eyed White) are consistent with blue eyes.
