Pet adoption

Yes, he's a lot of work. We brush him daily with a rubber tipped slicker, and weekly with a furbuster. If you never touched your boy with a brush, it's highly doubtful he's a ragdoll! That undercoat is thick and mats very easily if you don't stay on top of it.

Vinnie's getting up there in age, and doesn't like to groom his back half much, to put it delicately. Every couple months we take him to the groomer to be trimmed and spiffed up. It's amazing how fast his hair grows. We had him shaved down for the warmer months, and he's a much happier boy right now. He's gorgeous with his full coat, though.

OMG... are those eyes for real? That is the first thing that caught my attention.... WOW

Yes, they are. And he's a master at giving you head bumps and the big watery soulful eyes until you hand over the treats.

Yeah... my girl does the head bumps as well... but she wants petted.

She's not a ragdoll... just a pound kitty

The homeless critters need love too. <3 I'd have a house full of them if Shawn didn't flat out say no.

They certainly do, if not more This is a pic of my Julie, a pug/affenpinscher mix i got from the Martha's Vineyard shelter a few years ago. Yes, that little curl on the top of her head is pink, not by my doing

awww everyone's kitties are so adorable! Shad, gorgeous ragdoll!

Here are my 3 kitties, all rescues. The black cat, I found her crying in the bushes by the railroad tracks at my work when she was about 6-7 wks old, starving and dehydrated. You know when a kitten just cries and cries, it's either waiting for help or waiting to die. The gray and white boy was adopted from the Oakland SPCA and the calico siamese was born in my bathroom to a stray I took in from near my work 'cause I didn't want her having kittens on the street, we bonded since birth so I kept her. She is the smallest cat I have ever seen! (looks kinda big in this pic, but she is TINY). Full house but I love them all.

They are my monochromatic kitties

I agree that homeless animals need love too! Although we raise expensive kitties we also have two shelter kitties and two mixed breed flop hounds from the shelter as well. I always encourage our Ragdoll buyers to adopt a kitten from the shelter if they are looking for a play buddy for the rag and can't afford a second. Ragdolls are one of a kind. Here are some pictures of the litter of kittens currently wrecking my house! And one of Princess our blue lynx mitted girl and Brownie our seal mitted mink.

All my mammals are either shelter animals or street-foundlings.

My Mom even adopted a foundling from me.

Together, we have 4 dogs and 11 cats that have Forever Homes, that otherwise would be in shelters.
