We adopted two boy kittens from Chantel / Boutique Ragamuffins and cannot be more grateful and happier about our experience. We researched a lot and spoke to many breeders but clicked with Chantel instantly. She is one of the most communicative and lovely people I have ever worked with in any setting.
From the very beginning she made sure to get to know us, our lifestyle and what we were looking for in kittens, and did a great job matching us with our two cuddle bugs (Napoleon and Mochi). She spent literally hours and hours updating us with the boys' progress with pictures and videos, so that it felt like we were really watching them grow up in real time--especially appreciated during COVID times! Whenever there is a decision to be made she involved me right away, which isn't even at all expected or necessary but it really made me feel like a cat mom and bonded me even more strongly to the babies.
She was also wonderful with the pragmatic side of things in terms of being upfront and flexible with electronic payments and sending receipts right away (even though Venmo and PayPal both record everything so it doesn't really matter either way). Everything was stated clearly in the contract and I felt 100% comfortable throughout the process. We did a minimal contact pick up since it's COVID times and she was very flexible and timely with all of that too. I did get to see some of the other cats in her lovely home and cattery too!
After we got the kittens I have bothered her with a ton of questions as well and she has always been really responsive. It's obvious that she and her son Zander love the cats intensely and sincerely. It warms my heart every time I talk to her.
And lastly but most importantly... the boys are THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE. They are so cuddly and friendly and not to mention the most adorable and fluffy cats. I called the vet office recently to make their neuter appointment and the lady on the phone, whom I had only met once, immediately said "oh, you are the one with those two really sweet and cute kittens!" They truly are the most strikingly sweet little angels. Again, I cannot be more grateful to Chantel and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking to add a beautiful sweet muffin to their family. read more
