Lewis Blue Bicolor Male Cassie Lane X Ernest We could not possibly love Lewis our Ragdoll kitten anymore! He is so beautiful and his fur is incredible! We always say that we should have named him "Cotton" because when you pet him, it is like sticking your hand down in a bag of cotton balls. Turns out that Lewis LOVES riding in Emma, my granddaughter’s, baby doll stroller! He goes and gets in it on his own and Emma pushes him all over the house! She runs through the house wide open and Lewis loves it! When she stops pushing it, he will jump up on the back side of the stroller, walk on his hind legs, and push the stroller along until it runs into something. Too funny! Our boxer, Champ, and Lewis have become "best buds"! They are so cute playing and cuddling together. This 61 lb. Boxer with this 7 lb. kitty. Too cute! ~Emilie |
| The wonderful Londono family has gotten two Ragdolls from us because, "One is just not enough." The testimony for the first and second kitten follows. Jasper Seal Bicolor Male Cecily X Tucker I can't begin to tell you how much we love this little guy, Jasper. He has the best disposition, he is loving, he is playful and the best cat we've ever had. We just love him so much we can't imagine not having him now. He loves my son most of all and he gives him kisses just like he did with your son. By the way he loves his cat trees. Thank you again for giving us this amazing pet that is now our new baby. We will never regret buying this cat, he has been worth every penny. Everyone that meets him fall in love with him. He is one of a kind. Thank you again for being such a great breeder, you do the best job with the cats. TJ Blue Mitted Male Madame X Knightly Just a few lines to say hi and let you know how "The Boys" are doing. I must tell you that Jasper and TJ are like peas and carrots they do everything together. They love each other so much and we adore them. I sometimes think that they are a cross between a cat and a dog because they are so affectionate they are constantly licking us and giving us kisses. Thank you for breeding such amazing, beautiful cats. ~Joselyn |
| Milo Blue Mitted Male with a Blaze Cassie Lane X Ernest I thought you would like to see our beautiful boy(6 months)...He weights 8 lbs now and plays constantly with Lola(our 1 year old female). Milo is socialized so much better than Lola(she runs and hides) and you can tell that his home life prior to us was wonderful. I can honestly say that I would give anything if Lola was like him. I am a true testimony that you better visit with the breeders and find out what kind of kitten you are getting. He is wonderful and loves people. We have to watch him closely when we have visitors because everybody wants to take him home. I can honestly say that I would recommend your kittens because there is definitely a difference among breeders. Thanks again. ~Tammy |
| Desi Seal Mitted Male Madame X Tucker Desi seems to have attached himself to Sarah (daughter) the most in the family–they play all the time. It sometimes almost seems like torture the way Sarah totes him around the house, but he doesn’t seem to mind. In fact, he always comes back for more. ~Skip |
| Gracie Blue Mitted Female Cecily X Tucker I recently took a picture of Gracie for a friend of mine. Thought you might enjoy seeing how beautiful she is becoming. She is also very smart and knows a handful of tricks. She will heel (my version of cat heel is where they walk around you and then sit by your side), sit up, shake hands/paws, lie down, and roll over. My son thinks I have too much free time, but actually, she was very easy to train. She still purrs all the time and follows me everywhere. Such a joy! Thank you for her!! ~Donna |
| Beatrix Blue Mitted Female Chloe X Tucker I cannot begin to tell you how Beatrix has changed our life. She is so much more than a kitten. In fact, I feel like I have a small child in our home. My husband and I adore her, she wants for nothing, and she gives us everything. She is the most wonderful addition to our home in many years. I had no idea of the disposition of the Ragdoll cats...............totally different from any cat I have ever seen. Thank you so much for making her available to us. We are crazy over her !!! ~Cindy & Gene |
Kumo Flame Mitted Male Greta X Tucker Kumo is doing just great and I couldn't be happier! I don't think I'll ever own another cat that's not a Ragdoll. He's getting big so fast, but he's still just a huge cuddler and purr bucket. He and my other cat took to one another right away and they're now inseparable. My little boy is everything I could have wanted and more! You have raised one gorgeous, awesome tempered cat. May you and your family have a blessed holiday season! ~Amanda |
| Mittens Seal Mitted Female Cassie Lane X Tucker (Please note Kathy took care of Mitten’s for her mother, Linda, for 2 weeks. The two letters were so touching that both are included.) WOW!!! That is the only word that comes to mind when I try to describe Mittens. You and your family are truly amazing. I have had several cats in my lifetime, but none has ever been so special. We took her to my mom's house this past weekend, and although we all miss her terribly, she has adjusted beautifully! She and Tobi (my mom's 2 year old silver "Chinchilla" Persian) are getting along well and Mittens' favorite spots are those that Pharaoh used to love. My mom and I call each other almost daily so that I can get a "Mittens Update!" I attached a few photos so that you can see what a wonderful job you all have done in raising the most loving, personable cats EVER. John was in tears a couple times when we talked about taking her to my mom - in fact, he went through all the stages of grief during her 2 weeks with us, including bargaining! He had tears in his eyes when he said goodbye to her on Sunday when we were leaving to come back home. Although he knows we can visit anytime, it's just not the same without our "little bunny fur girl." Thank you SO MUCH for everything you and your family do to create the most precious "furry children" & we wish you all the happiest of holidays! ~Kathy I am Kathy's mother and the new mom of Mittens. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am with her. She is a doll and so snuggly and affectionate. I have never had a kitten like her before. I guess that is the Ragdoll breed. She is doing very well getting accustomed to her new home and her big brother Tobi. Tobi wasn't very happy when she first came but they are getting to be buddies now and I love it. Tobi is a silver chinchilla Persian who is two years old. He has never been a lap cat so having Mittens is such a treat. Thank you for the wonderful kitten and I am loving her dearly. ~Sincerely, Linda |
| Greta Blue Mitted Tortie Female Retired Breeder Angela, I hope you and your family are well! Greta is so special to all of us. And she is just gorgeous to look at! Thank you for trusting us with her! My mom hasn't had a pet she loved since before I was born. She couldn't be happier with Greta! Every night Greta runs to mom meowing like crazy until mom gets the brush. My mom grooms her every evening for a good 30 to 45 mins, and if she stops too soon, Greta will drive her crazy! She has also brought her much comfort at a very hard time for my mom. Greta still manages to make mom smile a lot. ~Tess |
Lovee Blue Bicolor Female Cecily X Tucker I thought I would send you some pictures of Lovee. On Lovee's first trip to the vet, he had to shake her around a little to get her to quit purring so loudly - he couldn't hear her heart beat! Needless to say, we are enjoying her very much. She must be the sweetest kitty ever, and is Bebe, my daughter’s, best friend in the world. Lovee cannot wait for her to come home from school every day and play! She likes to wake us up by purring very loudly next to our heads, and run in and out of all of our legs! She hangs out with me in the office during the day. When she is not chasing the mouse around my computer screen, she is curled up on her quilt next to my keyboard. We just love her so much. Thank you for breeding and raising such wonderful family kittens! ~The Godeaux Family |
Mellie Seal Bicolor Female Fudge X Tucker Just want to let you know that Mellie is the sweetest little creature on earth. We adore her and she adores us---and she tells us so, everyday in a hundred ways. She follows us from room to room and always finds a comfy place to lounge nearby. Charles and I have been surprised at what a calming, peaceful influence she is in our home. Miss Mellie is definitely teaching us a thing or two about chillin' out---the pure luxury of a good, long stretch, and how refreshing it can be to curl up for a nap at every possible opportunity. Truly, Angela, Miss Mellie has become a very visible, constant reminder to Charles and I both that (yawn...) it's really OK (yawn...) to spend more time just relaxing! Thank you so much for working with Amy and I to get the perfect kitten for our family. We could not ask for a better little companion. Mellie is so limp and relaxed when we pick her up; honestly, she almost slides right out of our arms! She jumps in our laps to be cuddled and rewards us with her amazing purrs, which she somehow combines with the cutest little chirps. What a delight! As you know, we have always had dogs and NO cats because we thought of them as aloof, persnickety and unfriendly. If we had known there was a cat like Mellie, we would have gotten one a LONG time ago! We've started calling her "little Christian kitty" because she is just so loving. You sent her to us totally "family-ready" and the way she adapts amazes us everyday! Because Mellie is so awesome, I suggest you breed Fudge with Tucker as often as possible. ;) Angela, thank you for being such a careful, conscientious breeder. You get a bucket of gold stars for our very, very sweet Miss Mellie. The Lord does all things well and Mellie was definitely worth the wait. We believed Him for a blessing and He more than exceeded our expectations! May He richly reward you for giving us these wonderful creatures called "Ragdolls". PS She was a tad expensive, but, really, how much should one expect to pay for a cat that has nearly all the desirable traits of a dog? Plus, she goes potty all by herself. Hooray!! Ragdolls are perfect pets! ~Glenda |
| Sophie Seal Colorpoint Female Cassie Lane X Tucker Daisey Mae Blue Mitted Female Cassie Lane X Knightly In the past six months, we have been blessed with two kittens from Angela Reid and the Velvet Rags Cattery. Each kitten is uniquely delightful and very special to us. Our home is full of love … simply from having these two kittens. They always greet us on our return home and are always close at hand (or our ‘feet’). They welcome and love all that enter our home … old acquaintances or total strangers. Sophie is exquisite, playful and ‘Sophiesticated’. Daisy Mae is such a subtle charmer … she warms your heart by just being near. Sophie, our first kitten, came home with us within 24 hours of our first visit to Velvet Rags. We had unexpectedly lost our thirteen year old cat, and we very much wanted to have a Ragdoll kitten. Angela worked with us and was able to let us have Sophie. Sophie was such a loving kitten: there was not a single person that she did not 'adopt'. No one was a stranger; she was in their laps sharing and absorbing love and ‘kisses’. She has blossomed into a beautiful seal colorpoint weighing nearly 12 pounds at ten months of age. Sophie had so much love to share, it became quite apparent that she needed another kitty playmate. That led us to seek another Ragdoll kitten and to our second kitten from Angela … Daisy Mae, a mitted blue point and seven months younger than Sophie, owned us the first day we met her. Within minutes of our meeting, she repeatedly climbed into and out of my wife’s lap and ultimately went to sleep in my hand! We’ve only had Daisy Mae for five weeks … she loves to play with her toys and scamper about the house … always entertaining herself with toys, us or her sister. In this short time she has grown to be Sophie’s playmate; always insisting on playing with (pestering?) older sister Sophie. Sophie seems to be the loving mother type and perseveres the advances of the charging Daisy Mae. Sometimes licking her face, or rolling in the floor playing, or, sometimes, putting her big paw delicately on Daisy Mae’s forward … seemingly saying, “That’s enough for now.” One charming trait of both our kittens is the way they tell us that they love us and want to play: they run and butt into our legs. The joy, love, attention and entertainment from these two adorable kittens are a pleasure to experience. We couldn’t have anticipated the enjoyment that has come our way from just these two little kittens … from the Velvet Rags Cattery under the watchful eye of Angela Reid. Thanks so much for what you do to share these delightful creatures with us!! P.S. Both kittens seem to have their mother’s ( Cassie Lane ) duty of ‘guarding’ the bathroom doorway. (We always are watchful of where we are stepping. ) ~Nancy and Allan |
Darcy (has the same name as her father) Blue Mitted Tortie Female Addy X Darcy Well we have had Darcy (here are pictures of her at 5 months and a good 5lbs!) for 2 months now and I can’t recall what we ever did without her! She is just as loving as she is beautiful- taking after her mother, Addy, with her gorgeous coloring starting to come in and with her fluffy soft tail! Everyone who meets her just falls in love with her. We had friends over for Thanksgiving dinner who are self- proclaimed "dog-people" and by the time they left they could not get enough of her - playing on the floor with her and carrying her around the room! She is the perfect companion and follows us from room to room to be nearby and spends equal time playing and snoozing in our laps or on her favorite perch by the window. And there’s no “tortitude” is in this tortie! She’s as silent as a mouse going about her routine. We love her so very much and can’t imagine our lives without her. Thank you for this wonderful sweet girl! ~Tania and Matt |
Hoops Seal Colorpoint Lynx Female Fudge X Tucker Hoops (who has a vast variety of nicknames, but her favorite is "Pretty Girl") is absolutely amazing. She is the sweetest, most adorable cat I have ever had and she has the softest fur - she feels like a chinchilla... We call her our "little ball of happy." She also has what I call the insta-purr feature - the moment you pet her or pick her up, she begins to loudly purr. All our best! ~Kathy |
Snow White Blue Mitted Female Addy X Darcy (Customer flew up to pick up her kitten) I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that Snow White and I arrived safely in San Antonio. She was perfect on the plane! She didn't make a peep and just slept the whole time. She caused a road block at the security check because everyone was holding up the flow because they wanted to look at her! From the moment we got to the house she has walked around like she has been here for years! She is so sweet and is very floppy like you had said in the past. My son and Snow White play together all of the time. Thank you very much for sharing her with my family! NEW LETTER: I just wanted to give you an update on how Snow White is doing down here in Texas. She has been the best cat and is a very loved member of the family. My son is an only child and Snow White has become a great companion for him. She is very easy-going and always greets me at the front door when I get home from work. Everyone that meets her always comments on how bunny-like her fur is. She loves to have her fur brushed and will come running across the room when she sees me with her brush. I just wanted to say thank you again for sharing such a wonderful cat with our family. I have included some pictures so you can see how much she has grown over these few short months! ~Mikele |
Sparky Blue Bicolor Male Cecily X Knightly I just wanted to let you know what a Blessing that Sparky has been to our family. He is so wonderful. He loves the kids and is loved by all our family. He adjusted immediately. Amanda (daughter) acted like a first time mother to him, he loves to be cradled, rocked and walked around. He brought back such joy to her. He likes to give Alex kisses and knock down Austins (son) train tracks as he builds them. I caught Austin carrying him to Amanda's room for time out, because he kept knocking over his bridges. The kids adore him and he seems to love them just as much. No problems at all with eating or the litter box. Thank you for raising such a wonderful kitten!!!!!! ~Karen and Family |
| Valen Blue Mitted Male Lacy X Darcy 1st Letter- He really seems bonded to Justin. He sleeps in J's room at night, and they're buds. Even the dogs have settled in with him (after some coercing). Our large male, Cody, was NOT amused when Valen tried to nurse. In fact, he was highly indignant. Spicy, the smaller female, was more tolerant, if not confused, by the nursing. We still make sure the dogs know not to chase the little guy, although Spicy is the alpha female (second only to me), so all toys in the house belong to her. She's still tolerant, but very unhappy, when Valen gets too close to her chewy. What amazes me is how the dogs let Valen bite them! More than once I have peeled the cat off of a Belgian face or leg. They just sit there and take it! We don't allow the dogs and cat in the same room if Dave and I are not home (safety first), but everything is working out well. Thanks for such a great kitten. Don't be surprised if you see another check headed your way :-) 2nd Letter- It's been awhile since I last wrote you! Valen is tremendous! We laugh constantly at his antics even when we're peeling him off of something, pulling him out of the trashcan (butt end up) or rescuing one of the dogs from him. He is sooooo bonded to my son. I was in the bath the other night, and he was on the floor looking at me (this was after he had fallen in). His eyes were electric blue! They were absolutely incredible. He's darkening up, too. He used to be colored like an opposum, but now his "blue" is coming out. ~Kelli |
| Hemingway Seal Bicolor Cecily X Knightly I just wanted to give you an update on Hemingway. Quite frankly, he is an amazing pet! We absolutely love him. He is in cahoots with our dog and frequently let our dog out of his crate. He loves to cuddle and play but has the strangest obsession with the bathroom. We haven't figured that out yet. In either case I have attached a picture taken today on our porch enjoying the snow. Thank you for such a great cat! ~Sarah and Scott |
| Shiloh Blue Mitted Female Knightly X Buttons 1st Letter- Just a quick update to let you know that our family can't remember what we did before we had Shiloh. She has really found her place here. She is especially attached to Callie (daughter). The first few nights, we put the kids to bed but Shiloh was so excited that she still wanted to run and jump and play with us in the living room instead of sleeping with Callie. This past week, however, Shiloh has developed her own routine... by her own choice, she stays in Callie's room until Callie falls asleep (approx 20 mins) and then she comes into the living room where David & I are... I can't believe how smart and protective she is for such a little kitten! She and Max (son) are also getting along well... he has learned how to carry her comfortably and she recognizes that he is her most willing and enduring playmate... he will play with her anytime she wants for as long as she wants. She is growing like crazy and she's just so sweet. Thank you for matching us with such a wonderful addition to our family! p.s. We have had NO problems with scratching or clawing... she likes attention but she is not destructive at all. 2nd Letter-We just LOVE her and she keeps us occupied for hours. The other day she wandered around the house waiting for Callie to get home... then she was pawing at Callie's picture on the refrigerator while she waited for Callie to get home this evening. It was too cute and I couldn't believe that she could recognize her picture!!! She gets cuter every day... I can't believe we didn't have a cat sooner. :) Everyone who sees Shiloh says she is the most beautiful kitten they have ever seen... she is a real celebrity at the vet's office... when we arrived the first time, four techs came out from the back and said, "oh the ragdoll is here" and they all wanted to come over to see her. Evidently, they saw a ragdoll on the schedule and had been looking forward to her visit all day. We are very proud "parents". She loves all of the attention from the kids, she has explored her new surroundings, and she gives lots & lots of kisses. She has found her favorite sleeping place in Callie's room. ~Amy |
| Beauregard Seal Bicolor Male Tess x Knightly This week Beauregard becomes 6 months old. I decided to take him to the vet to be weighed. Today he weighed 8 1/2 pounds. Oh my goodness. Quite a big boy and for every ounce he weighs he is just that sweet. Years ago we had a beagle named Sarah and until Beau came to join our family she was the sweetest critter that I knew. Here is a recent picture to share with you. Thank you for our beautiful Beau. He is much more than a family pet. NEW LETTER: I won the drawing at the TICA show back in January. This is her rendering of my baby Beau. I get to pick it up on Friday and can't wait. ~Margaret |
| Darby Blue Mitted Female Angel x Tucker (It is amazing what a kitten will write when taught to type). Dear Miss Angela, How are you? I am really fine! You surely picked a good home for me. I slept the whole ride to Wilmington. I ate a big bowl of food when I got here. I started playing and haven't slowed down yet. At night, Ann and Sean let me sleep between their pillows. I have slept there every night all night long. My new home has lots of toys. I have a scratching/climbing tree sort of like the one in the kitten room, just a little smaller. They provided excellent toileting facilities and Ann and Sean complement me for cleaning up every time I use it - you taught me well. I miss my play buddies and you and everybody but I think I am going to stay here. Ann and Sean told me that they will send you a picture when I get a little bigger. I bet you won't believe how much I will have grown. Love and kisses (you know I'm good at that), DARBY |
Hans Seal Mitted Male with a Blaze Fudge X Tucker We wanted to send a couple of pictures of Hans. He is really started a growth spurt over the last 2 weeks. We just adore him - his personality is beyond wonderful! Thank you for our little boy - NEW LETTER: Hans enjoys playing hide-and-seek with us every day and playing with his toys. He is just so personable and fun to be around. We joke that he is our cat-dog. He has "fetched" his mice for us. Thank you again for our Hans! ~Cathrine and Al |
| Twilight Seal Colorpoint Male Selah x Darcy Hey hope life is good. Just wanted to drop a note and tell you how Twilight is doing. Well he is a whopping 3.4lbs. SWEET as Sugar, Cute as a Button and LOVED by ALL! We cause a problem at the vet when we walk in! It's quite FUNNY to see ALL Work STOPS LOL then everyone calls MY TURN!!!! and then we pass him from nurse to nurse and then the big guns come in and takes over (DR.) for his turn they ALL have to get Kisses before we leave! We leave with the sound of bring him back soon! Thanks for such a SPECIAL boy! Talk to you soon. Lisa |
| Remy Seal Bicolor Male Tess x Knightly I just wanted to send you an email and some photos of the wonderful kitten that I purchased from you. I named him Remy and he is the most loveable cat! He follows me around everywhere when I am home or is always sitting or sleeping somewhere close to me. He is around people and dogs often and is just the nicest boy to them all. My parents just love him as well and he stayed with them and their dog Charmin when they have been here at their beach house. He hasn't been around other cats yet but he will be traveling home with me to Pittsburgh for Christmas and my parents have two cats at their home up there. He is definitely spoiled but not a brat! He is very smart and listens to me....usually! He was meant to live at the beach because he doesn't seem to mind water and doesn't put up a fight when I give him a bath. He has an obsession with the bath tub and he plays in there often! Remy is always getting compliments about how good looking he is everywhere he goes! I am so happy I found you and your cattery! I want to thank you for trusting me with one of your very special kittens. I hope you and your family have had a wonderful summer and you are all starting to enjoy fall.....if it ever comes! Take Care, Sarah |
| Dash Flame Bicolor Male Addy x Darcy Chloe Seal Mitted Female Cassie Lane x Darcy I wanted to share some recent photos of Dash & Chloe with you. They are doing great and I am enjoying them so much. They are definitely the company I needed once my daughter left for college. They are so funny together. They absolutely adore each other. Dash is quite the good 'big brother'. Also, my vet wrote your name down to give to one of her clients who recently 'lost' her ragdoll. I don't know the lady's name, but if you get an inquiry from Charlotte area, it may be via me. :) Hope all is well with you & your family, And, oh yeah.....Have a Happy Halloween. (I took these pics to put in a "BOO" frame to send in a care package to my daughter. She misses the kittens more than me. lol) Thanks again! Lisa |
| Aggie Seal Mitted Female Cassie Lane x Darcy I will attach a photo of Aggie. As far as a referral, use me anytime!!! WE love, love, love her. She is Everything we had hoped for and more. She is loving, patient (with the kids), affectionate towards the other animals, and best of all my shadow. I love that I can always look over my shoulder and see her close by. She is not, however, consistent with her choice of sleep spots at night.....which is my hubby's favorite trait. :) She makes her rounds. We can always find her snuggling with a different family member every night. The kids LOVE, that she is not "just" mine. She is a wonderful addition to our family and she is the first little thing we say hello to when we walk in the door and the last thing we kiss goodbye before leaving. She is amazing and we couldn't imagine life without her....and hopefully in the future life with more of her siblings running around here... ;) I've got a little work to do on my sweet hubby. Take care, Jen and family |
