Our Story

As a proud second-generation breeder registered with TICA (The International Cat Association, registration number: 115892), we have helped hundreds of families over the decades experience the incredible joy, beauty, and “puppy-like” loyalty that these little kitty angels bring into a home. We raise all of our purebred Persian and Ragdoll kittens directly underfoot as part of our family, ensuring they receive endless love, early socialization, and top-tier veterinary care from day one so they arrive at your home healthy, confident, and ready to cuddle.

Frequently asked questions

How do I reserve a Ragdoll or Persian kitten in Connecticut?

To adopt a Ragdoll or Persian kitten, text us at (860) 341-6536 to arrange a live FaceTime call where you can see our available kittens and interact with their personalities. Once you select your perfect match, we will coordinate a convenient pickup day at our cattery. Your journey doesn’t end there; We provide dedicated, lifetime support to help you and your new family member at every stage of life.

Where are you located and who do you serve?

Our cattery is in Storrs, Connecticut. We regularly work with families from Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, Danbury, New London and other parts of Connecticut, as well as nearby states like Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York. Because we’re one of the few TICA‑registered Ragdoll and Persian breeders in the region, many families travel to meet us.

When are kittens ready to go home?

Kittens stay with their mother until they are at least 8-12 weeks old. This extra time ensures they are well socialized and have strong immune systems. Once your kitten is ready, we schedule a pickup date in Storrs. We don’t ship kittens, but we can recommend transport services for families who visit and reserve a kitten.

Are kittens litter trained?

Yes. Kittens begin litter training as soon as they are mobile. We use a low‑dust, unscented litter to minimize respiratory irritation and can advise you on transitioning to your preferred litter at home.

What is your lifetime health and return guarantee?

If you can no longer care for your cat at any time, you can return it to us. We will either refund you or rehome the cat. This policy reflects our commitment to the welfare of every kitten we breed

Do you offer ongoing support?

Absolutely. Our relationship doesn’t end at pickup. You can text, call or email us anytime with questions about grooming, diet, behavior or adjustment. We’re here to help throughout your kitten’s life.

What is a Ragdoll cat like?

Ragdolls are known for their friendly, dog‑like personality. They often greet you at the door, follow you around and enjoy being held. Their semi‑long coat is relatively easy to maintain with regular brushing, and they can weigh between 10–20 pounds as adults.

What is a Persian cat like?

Persians have a calm demeanor and a beautiful long coat that requires daily brushing. They enjoy a quiet home routine and often bond deeply with their owners. Adult Persians usually weigh 12–18 pounds and need more frequent grooming than Ragdolls.

Which breed is right for me?

Think about your lifestyle. If you want a sociable cat that acts like a gentle dog, a Ragdoll may be ideal. If you prefer a quieter companion and don’t mind daily grooming, a Persian might suit you better. We’re happy to discuss your needs and help you decide.

Are Ragdolls good with children and other pets?

Yes. Ragdolls generally have a relaxed, affectionate temperament and often do well with kids, dogs and other cats. Each cat has its own personality, so we match kittens to families based on temperament and household dynamics.

Ragdoll cats are categorized into three primary coat patterns featuring various traditional colors: Pointed (a light body with darker points on the face, ears, paws, and tail), Mitted (similar to pointed, but with distinct white mittens on the front paws, boots on the back legs, a white chin, and a belly stripe), and Bicolor (displaying a striking, symmetrical inverted “V” white mask on the face with entirely white legs and chest). These beautiful patterns can appear in traditional Ragdoll colors—including seal, blue, chocolate, lilac, flame, and cream—and can also feature Lynx (tabby stripes) or Tortie (tortoiseshell) markings.

Colors include seal point, blue point, chocolate point, lilac point, red (flame) point, cream and tortie. We occasionally have Mink Ragdoll kittens, which are part of the original Ragdoll bloodline; they are born with colour and may have aqua or blue‑green eyes. Pure white or solid black cats advertised as Ragdolls are either mis-marked or another breed.
Persians: Persians come in many colors. White Persian kittens that have blue eyes; blue Persians are solid grey; and Himalayan Persians resemble Ragdolls with pointed coloring. We usually have white and blue‑eyed Persian kittens as well.

Are Ragdolls and Persians good with children and dogs?

Yes. Ragdolls (some times people call them doll rags) are known for their gentle, dog‑like temperament; they often greet visitors at the door and enjoy being carried. The TICA standard emphasizes their sweet disposition and willingness to relax in their owner’s arms. They typically get along well with children and small or large dogs. Persian kittens are affectionate but quieter; they may be more selective about their companions and are best suited to calmer households.
