The Ragdoll breed is probably the most popular breed on our website. A great deal of this excitement comes from the notion that these cats are hypoallergenic and/or that they do not shed. Do not be fooled: neither of these bits of information are true of the Ragdoll. Ragdolls are very nice cats, but as with all purebreds of any type, personalities vary by individual. While they are generally known as easy-going, we have had fairly unpleasant Ragdolls in this rescue, shy Ragdolls, hyper Ragdolls and those that were absolutely not suitable for children. In general, this is a breed with a medium-length coat, calm personality and good looks, but each cat must be fitted to the right family. Grooming and Care Needs Ragdolls are medium-coated cats and regular brushing/combing is necessary. They typically do not have the long, thick coats of many Persians; therefore, they tend to be easier to care for. However, they do shed and have the same maintenance needs as any animal with a long coat.

For the most part this breed is healthy. We have seen a few with dental issues and cardiomyopathy (an enlarged heart) is starting to become a problem every now and then. As mentioned above, each personality should be fitted to the right type of family. This is not a “one type fits all” breed. In general, this is a calmer breed with a gentle, quiet disposition.

We chose the name rhetorical ragdolls because ragdolls have many different ways of communicating with their people, this heightened ability to communicate is one of my (many) favorite traits of the ragdoll. They are not aloof, they are very much a family member. These are more than cats. Some call them “puppy cats”. Your ragdoll will attach themself to you in a way that is very unlike any other cat. They will follow a daily routine with you. They will most likely know what time you come home each day and be there waiting for you. They will be easily voice trained. We are a TICA and RFCI registered small hobby breeder of Ragdoll kittens located in Massachusetts.

The Ragdoll Breed was started by a woman named Ann Baker in Riverside, California during the early 1960’s. The original foundation cats of the Ragdoll breed were in fact all strays that roamed free around Ann Baker’s home, as well as her neighbors. The first litter of “experimental” kittens was produced by an all white “angora-like” female cat named Josephine. Ann Baker thought this breed was some sort of miracle. All of Josephine’s babies were rumored to be floppy, and loveable teddy bears, despite where they came from, a feral outdoor environment.

There are many stories surrounding the first litter. Ann Baker also thought they first litter of kittens may have been this floppy and laid-back because Josephine was hit by a car, and Baker took the litter in to nurse back to health. Baker thought the car accident was what must have made the kittens so floppy and such ideal family pets. There were also many other foundation cats who are in all of our Ragdoll pedigrees today, one male cat being “Blackie” who was a solid black cat, resembling a “Burmese”, and another male named “Daddy Warbucks” who was a Seal Point Mitted Birman. At the time Ann Baker was also experimenting with the creation of other breeds that may have been strung off of these lines, like the “Honey Bear”. These breeds she experimented with were never recognized, or advanced much further than her own home. The early Ann Baker was also a persian breeder. Ann Baker started her own association called IRCA (International Ragdoll Cat Association), and she also had a patent on the Ragdoll name.
