Special Annoucements:

WillowTreeRags has transformed and remodeled our walk-up attic into a "Kitten & Queen Palace", to fit the specific needs of new mothers, birthing, and training the kittens in their early weeks! It is a temperature controlled environment that provides comfort to the mothers and every one of their kittens.

We are also working on adding an outdoor enclosure for our cats to enjoy in the warm and dry months of the year. We have a fairly large yard that makes this possible. This project should be started and finished in the Summer of 2008.

We do believe fresh air and exercise is ideal and needed for all breeds of cats. Please click below for more information on ordering the same fence we are installing! It's one of the best gifts you can give to your cat.

We highly recommend this product:
 

Please stay tuned for frequent updates and more information!

WillowTreeRags only sells breeding cats to TICA/CFA registered breeders and cage-less catteries, where each cat is loved and cared for personally.



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, and the kittens are allowed to roam free throughout the house once they reach a certain age. 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. We don't breed lynx, nor look at it as an advancement in the breed. 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, we only use breeding cats who's tests come back negative. 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, Tortie, and Blue Cream.
Ragdoll patterns are Colorpoint, Mitted, and Bicolor, these patterns are also allowed to come in lynx (striping within the color), although we rarely breed lynx at WillowTreeRags.

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.

WillowTreeRags DOES NOT take any part in breeding solid, or mink 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, and don't follow the breed standard.
