I purchased my first Ragdoll kitten 2 yrs ago from a breeder in LA county. Just love this breed,…read morebut did not want to buy from that breeder again because she kept lots of cats and kittens in a cramp backyard patio (cats were not raised inside the home), did not properly name her cats (based on the catteries where the cats were bred), did not spay or neuter kittens before they were sold, and charged much extra fees for TICA registration. After pandemic, that breeder raised her prices a lot as well.
I researched online nearly a year to find a Ragdoll kitten in southern CA, blue lynx bicolor specifically, from a reputable breeder at a reasonable price. I noticed that blue lynx bicolor is more rare than seal lynx bicolor. Across LA County, Orange County, Riverside County, and SD County, Creekcat is the only cattery that met all of my criteria, and their blue lynx kittens are amazingly beautiful. I only wish I found Creekcat two years sooner! Creekcat has kings and queens in rare colors and patterns. In fact, I think Leo (Love Again) is one of the most handsome blue lynx bicolor king in the US.
Roxann is a caring, responsible, and knowledgeable breeder. She raises her cats and kittens with lots of care. Her kittens are precious to her, so she tries to find loving pet owners for them. (She does not sell kittens to brokers, int'l shipper, or resellers. She wants to get to know the pet owners before the sale.) As a Ragdoll owner, I absolutely agree and respect Roxann's guidelines and preferences (e.g. no declawing, etc), and I understand the good intentions behind them.
Our 3-month old blue lynx bicolor girl kitten from Creekcat was shy and hiding the first couple days when she came to our home. But she ate well (both dry and wet food) and knew how to use a litter box since day 1. Starting on day 3, the kitten began to explore her room, play toys, purr very often, and greeted every person that came to meet her. Her deep blue eyes are magical. She has been a tremendous joy and blessing to our family.
Compared to our other Ragdoll girl cat (when she was a kitten), Creekcat's kitten eats better, is a bit more playful, outgoing, and friendlier to visitors.
I hope Roxann will never retire and continue to breed beautiful lynx Ragdoll kittens. Her cats and kittens are truly stunning and very special. I highly recommend this cattery.
