| Ragdoll Testimonies |
| Chloe X Atticus I wanted to let you know that Peppy is doing great. He has fit right in with our family. As you can tell he and Pixie love each other. They are always together (unless he is in the lap of one of the kids). We are so happy that we located you. Peppy is just so fun to have around. We love his spunky personality and all of the cute little flutter sounds that he makes. We cannot get over how loving he is. We still get our morning kisses in bed with nibbles, too. He goes from room to room to be sure everyone has had their wake up call. I did not realize I could love an animal so much. He has such a sweet disposition about him that we just adore!! We appreciate what wonderful work you do as a breeder!! ~Thanks, Kristen |
| Madame X Atticus I can't believe how lucky we got to have found you and Lucy. I feel like it was meant to be, and this is exactly the kitten we wanted...looks and personality. We already love her so much. She has been playful and snuggly and has been napping in Emma's lap. She licks, and responds to us, and is making us so happy. I can tell how much the love and affection from you and your family has affected Lucy and her personality. This is honestly, the best kitty in the world. Affectionate, funny, playful, and always in the room that we're in. The girls love her so much!!!!! ~Alyssa |
| Cassie Lane X Ernest We absolutely love Pippin! She has settled into our home so well it's like she's lived here all along. She's a purring cuddle muffin and will curl up with us or the dogs. Our younger dog adores Pippin and it's really cute how they play together. Pippin is not only beautiful, but she's also incredibly smart. She comes when called, even if you're on a different floor! That's amazing for a cat. Pippin has also learned to open doors that aren't completely closed by walking on her back feet, putting her front paws on the door and walking it open. She can disappear in a flash, only to reappear in a totally different part of the house in a split second so we think she can teleport, but haven't been able to prove it yet. Thank you for Pippin, we adore her and are very happy she's a part of our family! ~Linda |
| 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 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. ~Joselyn TJ 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 !!! ~Kind Regards, Cindy & Gene |
| 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 |
| 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 I included both. ~Angela) 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 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 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 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 Cassie Lane X Tucker Daisey Mae 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 father) 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! All the best, Tania and Matt |
Tobey Selah X Knightly I thought I'd send you a note and let you know how Tobey is doing. He is so funny and energetic. I've nicknamed him "The Pistol". You really do raise wonderful kittens. He is so well adjusted and socialized. He doesn't run when people come over. He wants to get right up there and meet them. I love that. He and Angel are also getting along pretty well. They're not best buds yet but they're on the right track. Angel just watches him and vice versa. Then they'll touch noses and turn away. It's really cute. I've sent you a few pictures so you can see how much he's grown. He's such a sweetie...when he finishes playing that is. He loves his play time, he follows me and my husband around, and wants to cuddle at 4:00 in the morning! Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for this little bundle of fur. He's so entertaining! Thank you again! -Tracie |
