Kitten Updates
Updated: 10/18/2025
We currently have no kittens available for adoption, and we are not expecting any kittens until next year. In fact no one is currently pregnant. The next queen to have babies will likely be Iris. We are accepting applications for 2026. We only have a few people on the wait list for future litters, and they are very specific in their requests and their kittens will be coming from different litters. If you reserve a spot ahead of time, it puts you in a good position for when we do have kittens. When it comes time for people to choose their kitten around 6-8 wks. old, it’s done by order of people on the wait list and what they are looking for. An official spot on the wait list is secured by a deposit, after an application has been approved.
You are welcome to fill out an application. If you scroll further down you can also read about our special Christmas delivery service for those with young children. We are not expecting any Christmas kittens this year, unfortunately.
Our Special Christmas Delivery Service
Starting in the 2024 holiday season, my husband and I thought it would be fun to deliver kittens to families with him dressed as Santa, for those who were interested. I have memories from when I was a little girl of my dad dressed as Santa and delivering 2 kittens to me. I thought it might be fun to recreate this kind of special memory for other children as well. We do not charge an extra fee for this, but we do charge a fee if you don’t live super close to us just for the driving time & gas. We do not charge an exorbitant fee at all. We aim to spread fun & joy around the holiday season. :)

Do you want to learn more about Ragdoll colors, patterns, and breeding possibilities? Below is a chart of the 3 basic patterns of Ragdolls (colorpoint, mitted, bicolor) and some pictures to go along with that. Lynx is a pattern that can be in conjunction with any of the 3 basic patterns listed below.
Seal lynx point Ragdoll kitten (dark paws).
Seal point mitted Ragdoll kitten (white paws).
Chocolate point bicolor Ragdoll cat.
Lynxes
Also, just what IS a lynx? The lynx pattern is also known as the tabby pattern, and it simply means the Ragdoll will have stripes on different parts of its body. On lighter colored Ragdolls such as lilacs and chocolates, these stripes won't be as noticeable. However on blue and seal Ragdolls, it is much more prominent. The stripes will be visible on the tail, legs, and the face. On the face the lynx pattern will make it appear as though the kitten is wearing white "eyeliner." There will also be a contrast around the edge of the ears which will show the darker color on the outer edge and then lots of "white fuzz" on the inside of the ears. Lynxes tend to have more noticeable ear tufts than non-lynxes. In addition, the nose pads on lynxes will NOT match their coat color. For example, a regular seal Ragdoll will have a black nose as part of their pattern, including their nose pad. However a seal lynx Ragdoll will have a much lighter nose pad, although the color of the nose pad will vary. See pictures below.
Seal point mitted Ragdoll (non-lynx, black nose pad).
Seal lynx point Ragdoll (notice his lighter nose pad).
Blue lynx point Ragdoll kitten (notice the stripes developing on his legs).
Lilac lynx point mitted Ragdoll with a pink nose pad (versus grey) and a tiny blaze.
Blazes
In addition, some kittens have blazes (or white streaks in their pattern) as shown below. Blazes can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical and vary in size and shape. Blazes have to do with the white spotting factor which determines how much white a kitten will have (colorpoint, mitted, or bicolor).
Sometimes other things occur such as bigger, smaller, or uneven "mittens" (on mitted Ragdolls). These all add to a Ragdoll's uniqueness! :)

Minks AKA Cherubims
What is a mink Ragdoll? A mink Ragdoll is a non-standard Ragdoll that comes in deeper colors than traditional Ragdolls. They can come in all of the colors including the 4 basic ones: seal, blue, chocolate, and lilac. The mink eyes come in various colors including blue, aqua, green or even yellow but mainly come in aqua. The seal mink Ragdoll is my personal favorite as the coat has a very rich, cocoa brown color. Although traditional seals are known for having blackish brown points (face, paws, tail), a seal mink looks very rich brown. I also think blue mink Ragdolls are quite lovely. In the breeding world, there has been much controversy about whether or not minks are “real” Ragdolls. TICA acknowledges minks but does not allow them to be shown in cat shows. However as of May 2025 minks will be officially called Cherubim. Pictured below is a sister/brother pair, a blue mink/mitted and a seal mink (colorpoint). Aren't they lovely?!? I personally enjoy the variety that minks bring to my cattery and I have found their temperaments to be just as wonderful as any of my traditional Ragdolls. They are just as floppy and loving!

What Now?
Did you come here first but want to learn more about the process of adopting a Ragdoll kitten? Please refer back to our Home page to learn more about the adoption process! :) We are located in the Vancouver, WA area but most of our kitties have gone to homes in the Portland, OR area. We have also had kitties go as far north as Vancouver Island in Canada, as far south as the central coast of California and we even had a pair go out to Wyoming! I can help connect you to a reputable flight nanny if you do not live close to our Ragdoll cattery in Vancouver, Washington. :)
