I know that most of you who read my posts are already big fans of my site and love seeing the pictures of the little ones. Some people access my site to find a ragdoll kitten to make their own. I thought it would be a good time to give information about the process involved in getting my babies ready to be adopted by loving kind families. After a queen is bred, she is monitored and given high-end nutrition and a quiet place to have her babies. Once the babies are born, they are monitored closely to guarantee they are getting all the food they need from their momma. There are times I step in to supplement their feedings so that they are not left behind nutritionally. At that time, I try to do a gender check to see what s*x they are. Sometimes the little stinkers fool me with their bits and pieces. At around three days old, I can tell if they are bicolor, mitted, or pointed. They also start to show their color point. I wait until they are at least two weeks old before I post about availability. There are exceptions to this time frame. This last batch of babies is an example. I did not post about them until they were four and five weeks old. No rhyme or reason...just caught up in summertime activities that required my attention. I pride myself on healthy well socialized kittens and want the best for them. At 9 weeks of age, they receive their first kitten vaccine. They are monitored closely to validate that there are no adverse reactions. At 12 weeks, they again receive their second vaccine, and the same is done as protocol. They are then scheduled for their alter. I bring them home and again they are monitored closely for any adverse reactions to sedation and surgery. They also receive their microchip during their surgery. At 15 weeks they are given their last vaccine and at 16 weeks they are ready for their fur parents to pick them up. They are registered and given a clean bill of health by my vet. My objective is to raise healthy kittens...parents DNA tested for genetic issues (HCM and PKD1). I take pride in my breeding program and breed babies who have gorgeous blue eyes, a wonderful coat, a big mass, and a gorgeous head. I hope this helps some of you who are looking for ragdoll babies who are bred to the standard. I will continue to raise the standard in my breeding program so that my babies will always continue to have the attributes mentioned previously. These kittens will make wonderful companions for many years to come. God Bless and I am always willing to answer any questions anyone interested in ragdolls might have. Stay tuned for pictures of available babies.
