Hi everyone! I just wanted to bring up a couple of issues that come with breeding cats. It is not directed at any individual, but I just wanted to clarify a couple of points.
We are not a cattery. We are small hobby breeders. We get many emails asking to come and visit our cats and play with our kittens. Our home is not open to everyone to come and walk through. Our home is open to those that wish to adopt a kitten from us only. Visiting Wroxton Ragdolls is only by appointment, and this is dependant upon the age of our kittens. This is due to health concerns for our babies and mothers. Visits are usually made one week after the kittens have had their first vaccination.
It is extremely important to be on time when coming to view your kitten. By being late you are holding everyone else up that will be visiting their baby that day. We are farmers, so free time to us is rare. I apologise if this comes across harsh, but even being half an hour late throws our entire day out of wack. If you are unsure how long it will take you to arrive at our property, please let us know where you will be coming from, and we will let you know how long it will take to get here.
I also get asked all the time 'Can you recommend another breeder' - Yes we can, however whilst we know the majority of registered breeders in South Australia (and many across Australia) we are happy to give you tips on what to look for when visiting a breeders house. Every breeder runs their 'program' differently, but obviously the things to look out for is if a breeder invites you to view their kittens outside, or if the kittens look unwell. Bringing up a litter of kittens is never an easy or clean feat - there might be kitten toys everywhere, and there may even be a little litter on the ground if there is a litter box in the room(which there should be) - but in general you should have a good understanding of how the kittens are being brought up.
We invite you to our sun-room to view the babies, as this is 'their' room. Here they can make as much mess as they want, and they have their beds, scratching posts, litter trays, and ample toys. We like you to see the environment that they are comfortable in. At a later age they get run of the house and most evenings you can find them in the lounge room or on our bed. Our kittens do not live outside, nor do they go outside while they are with us. Ragdolls are an inside cat, but once they get a bit older, they love to go out in to the outside enclosure which is totally enclosed with netting for their safety.
We hope that you will enjoy your time here when meeting your baby as it is our pleasure to have you in our home.
