Meet our RAGS2DAZZLE Ragdoll Family

updated 3/1/2010

Rags2Dazzle is a small Ragdoll Cattery located in Florida.

About 8 years ago my sister purchased three Ragdoll Kittens, Willem is a Seal Point Lynx, Yogi and Pebbles are both Seal Point Mitted. (Yogi was a Show/Alter and did very well).I instantly fell in love with these kittens. They were so laid back and friendly and I couldn't believe the way they followed you around, just like a dog!!

After doing a lot of research, we purchased our first Ragdoll kittens from Julie Stalnaker at Sea Fox Cattery, Florida and fast became friends with Julie who has helped me enormously ever since. I was looking for a Blue mitted Lynx and she had two brothers. My daughters came with me and my eldest decided she wanted to adopt one too. As soon as I saw Dagda it was love at first sight. Prince Dagda has the bluest eyes and is the sweetest natured cat I have ever owned. He won my heart over in a very short time. His brother Prince Harry is a Blue Point Lynx and likes to think he is King at Rags2Dazzle Cattery, but really Dagda is.

Because I fell in love with Dagda I decided he needed a female companion and the same year acquired Lady Eloise (Lulu) as we affectionately call her. Lulu is a Seal mitted Tortie Ragdoll and she is Queen Bee of the cattery. Many thanks to Charmayne for breeding such a delightful girl. She is mother to some of our newer additions. Lulu is the Matriarch of Rags2Dazzle Cattery.

In January 07, Rags2dazzle collected Lord Georgie from his breeder. Many thanks to his Rebecca for allowing me to have the most beautiful Blue Bi Color Point Ragdoll boy, with the deepest blue eyes I have ever seen. He is doing wonderfully with the rest of the crew, although he is the most stubborn one of the bunch. He should really behave as his Championship blood lines indicate, but there's no stopping Georgie once he sets his mind to something. Update 3/2/08 Georgie attended his first CFA Cat Show this week-end and won his first title. He is now a Premier Champion and will be continuing to attain his Grand Premier title. Update 5/12/08 - Great news Georgie took 2nd place in the CFA Regional Premier Championship placements, he also became our first Grand Premier in the same month.  Wow - Georgie has done it again - At the CFA International Cat Showin November 08, Georgie was awarded Best Grand Premier Ragdoll, also out of 791 cats he was awarded 5th Best Long Haired All Breed Premier at the show.  Update 5/30/09.

Georgie has achieved the following results at the end of the Cat Fanciers Association show season 2008-2009.

Best Ragdoll Grand Premier - Southern Region.

14th Best Regional All Breed Grand Premier Winner Southern Region.

3rd Best National Ragdoll Grand Premier. 

Considering this was the first year we had taken him to the shows, we are extremely happy.

Well done my lovely boy, we are so proud of you.

Grand Premier Ch. Lord Georgie

The same month Lady Sofie arrived from Canada and I will be eternally grateful to Vicki and Charmayne of Marlecreek Cattery for giving up this incredibly beautiful Ragdoll Kitten. I know how difficult it was for her to let Sofie go, because we have stayed in touch and I have given her all the news regarding Sofie, Charmayne has become a real friend.

Lady Sofie is an adorably beautiful Seal Point Bi Color Ragdoll with very large, deep blue eyes and comes from Championship lines. She is truly a princess and very funny. If she doesn't like or want something she growls!!

Then in March 07 another Ragdoll Kitten came to join our Family. Her name is Lady Jasmin (Jazzy) as my daughters nicknamed her. Scottie Cone of Rags2Riches Cattery in North Carolina, brought her all the way down to Florida for us. Many thanks to Scottie for allowing this sweet girl to come to us. Jasmin is a Blue Point mitted Ragdoll and is always purring. She is extremely mischievous and forgets she was only 3 months old in these photos and eagerly joined in the raggle taggle play with the older kittens. She has now become one of our Queens and had her 1st litter in June 08.

Then in June 2007 Lady Olivia, the most beautiful blue bicolor girl with very dark blue eyes, joined our family. She is now a Queen and joined our breeding program and had her first litter in May 08. Thank you to Lora for giving her to us and again thank you Scottie Cone from Rags2Riches for breeding yet again this outstanding girl. Since her arrival Livie has decided she prefers roast chicken or beef to cat food. If any of the others go near her when she's eating she growls really loud and scares them off!!  It's really funny. Olivia had her second litter this year and became the first bi color mommy at Rags2Dazzle Cattery.

CH. Lady Olivia

(aka Livie) 

We added another little treasure to our wonderful gang.  Our Christmas present for 2007 from Kathleen Burke was this perfectly marked seal bicolor girl, with the most brilliant blue eyes.  Sometimes when I stare into her eyes I could swear she was talking to me through them.  Izzy has the most wonderful disposition and is such a sweet and loving girl.  She has fitted into our family perfectly and I would like to thank Kathy so much for entrusting her to me. She's a very clever little one and worked out pretty quickly that Lady Eloise was the matriarch and that if she buttered Lulu up from the start, Lulu would make sure she didn't get bossed around by the others!! Update 3/2/08 - we took Isabella to her first cat show and she walked away with a Rosette.  She was chosen to be part of the top 10 kittens of all breeds, out of 39 kittens at the show.  Since then, at her 2nd Cat Show Izzy became a Champion. Well done Isabella, we are sooo proud of you. Rags2Dazzle is sure she will have beautiful bi color babies when she is older. Update 5/30/09 - We are so proud of Isabella - she had her 1st litter of babies in March 09 and they are adorable.  She is the most doting mommy.

CH. Lady Isabella

(aka Izzy)

Oh Oh - we have added another little bundle of joy to our cattery. I swore to myself I wouldn't be tempted and then ....

  How could I not fall in love with this little fella!! Nicolai arrived in April 08 and quickly made himself at home. He decided to make friends with Olivia first, as she is in charge of her 4 kittens and he knows when they are old enough to play with him he will teach them every trick in the book.  Olivia has taken him under her wing and told all our crew to treat him nicely or they will have to contend with her.  Once again a big thank you to Scottie Cone of Rags2Riches for giving us this perfectly marked seal bi color oh so cute boy.  Nico will be attending his 1st Cat Show at the end of May 08, in the Kitten Class. Watch for updates on how he does at the cat shows.

 Update 5/24/08 Nicolai went to his 1st cat show this week end and got placed on both days in the top 10 all breed kittens out of 54 kittens!! - More news 7/19/08 Nicolai attended a cat show in Ft. Myers, FL this weekend and won all of his 6 kitten rings and was placed in all 6 finals attaining Best All Breed kitten in one ring. Great news for Nicolai, on 8/30/08 he went to Simpsonville, SC and became a Champion, he also went to the CFA International held in Atlanta, Ga in November 2008 and Granded in his first final and then went on to take 2nd Best Ragdoll Champion at the show. 

Nicolai has achieved the following results at the end of the Cat Fanciers Association show season 2008-2009

Best Ragdoll Kitten Southern Region.

3rd Best National Ragdoll Kitten.

3rd Best Ragdoll Grand Champion Southern Region.

6th Best National Ragdoll Grand Champion.

 We are so proud of him to have attained all these awards for our Rags2Dazzle Cattery - Well done sweet boy.

Oh No I've done it again, I took one look into the eyes of this kitten and fell madly in love.  How could you not possibly adore this little fella? Dmitri joined our family in September 08 and had to contend with Lulu's litter of 7 kittens.  He quickly joined them by getting into as much trouble as they do, but he found a hiding place at the foot of my bed under my comforter, so when the others got told off for knocking over my bedside lamp, or my clock, he was nowhere to be found.  Now I know better. 

Dmitri went to his 1st cat show in Orlando yesterday 9/20/08 and we were very proud of him for being so brave, but I think I need to thank Georgie for showing him the ropes. Update 12/12/08 Dmitri became a Champion this weekend.  Well done my oh so sweet boy.

I would like to say a big thank you to Mindy Ferreira for allowing me to bring this baby all the way from Conneticut to Florida.

CH. LORD DMITRI

another Prince in waiting

Well I thought I had found all the cats I needed for my breeding program but couldn't resist my latest bundle of joy.  My friend Scottie Cone sent me a photo of this little treasure, I took one look and it was love at first sight.  Zoya is a Seal Lynx Bicolor Tortie and came to our home during the last week of November 08, so she is our Thanksgiving Kitten.  She fitted into our family straight away and let all our cats know, within the first 2 days that she's a typical red head, independant and spunky and not to be messed with.  She has a special place in my daughter Jemma's heart and they are inseparable.  However, Dmitri has decided to teach her every naughty trick in the book, at least that's what I thought until I caught her teaching him some also. It now looks like whatever trouble they can both get into they will do it together.  I will have to get Dagda to set them straight.

Again thank you Scottie Cone for giving her this double bundle of joy and holy terror.

LADY ZOYA (aka Zoe)

Another Princess in waiting

Guess what, I was introduced to a wonderful Ragdoll Breeder in Canada and when I saw the photo below of this beautiful seal mitted girl I couldn't let her not join us.  Elizya came to us in June 2009 together with 2 other girls who you can see below Arianna.  She has the most fantastic expression in her eyes and took no time in winning the judges over.  She is the quiet one in the household but is quick to come see what is going on when Lulu and Annie get into an argument.  Update Ellie became a Champion in January 2010. I would like to thank Gail Arthur of Darlinlildol Ragdolls for allowing me to have 3 of her precious girls. 

CH. LADY ELIZYA

a.k.a. Ellie

We thought with the 3 girls from Gail that we were done and then we were offered this beautiful blue bi color girl from JaNeil Cillisen of Dollhowse Ragdolls and just couldn't resist.  Ari flew in from Denver in September 2009 and quickly settled into the household making friends with the other girls.  We took her to the International Cat Show in Atlanta, GA in November 09 to see her Mom and guess what she got a rosette at the end of the show attaining 3rd Best Ragdoll Kitten.  We were extremely proud of her considering this was her very first show and in February 2010 she became a Champion. 

Thank you JaNeil for this extraordinary girl.

CH. LADY ARIANNA

 This is GC Anya who is another girl from Gail in Canada.  Annie has the most dark blue eyes I have ever seen and is a big love bug.  She can't wait for me to come home and tickle her under her chin and if I forget she getunder my feet to remind me.  Annie was 3 months old when we got her in April 2009 and she took my breath away at that early age.  Hopefully if things don't change score wise she will end the 2009 season as CFA Southern Region Best Ragdoll Kitten for 2009.

Since then Annie has gone on to attain the title of Champion and then Grand Champion.  She is now vieing with Lulu for head of household but I think Lulu will let her know she is the Matriarch.

GC. LADY ANYA

a.k.a. Annie 

Below is Isabella's daughter Katie who has the deepest blue eyes and sweetest of temperaments. Again thank you to Joyce Smith for allowing  her GC Islandol Mr Sandman to sire our girl. Katie left us in January 2010 to go and live with our good friend Maggie who is also a Ragdoll Breeder. We hope to see Katie at future Florida CFA Cat Shows.

CH. Lady KATYA

a.k.a Katie

I have always wanted a seal lynx point and white kitten and when I was send the photo below it was love at first sight.  Natalya is the 3rd kitten from Gail in Canada.  Natalya is best friends with Arianna and they hang around together and have to go to the shows together.  Natalya became a Champion in January 2010 and we are going to continue taking her to the shows with Arianna and hopefully had 2 more Grand Champions to our home. Again thank you Gail for this special little girl.  As the judges say she has the Flash!!  

CH. LADY NATALYA

 Below is Olivia's son Saskia but we call him Sasha.

He is a love bug and lives in the bedroom next to the garage in my home with Nicolai and Dmitri.  As soon as I open the garage door to come into the house he is there waiting to be petted, I call him Mr. Flopalong because he flops at my feet to have him tummy rubbed.  The cat shows are his forte where he rolls over in the ring for the judges and does anything he can to be naughty.  When the audience laughs he does whatever he is doing more!!

We love him dearly and would like to thank our good friend Joyce Smith for allowing her CH. Ace in the Hole to Sire our boy.

CH. Lord SASKIA

a.k.a. Sasha

 Another home grown baby is our lovely boy Dominic who is the son of Isabella and Dmitri.  He is one of the sweetest kittens we have ever bred and were reluctant but happy to let him go to Fiona.  Dominic left us in February 2010 and flew to Hong Kong to live with our friend Fiona.  Dominic will continue to be shown in CFA as a Show/Alter.  We wish him and his new Mommy all the best of luck.

Rags2Dazzle now feels we have the right breeding cats and kittens, who are not closely related and therefore there should be no negative impacts to their future kittens.  We offer Ragdoll Kittens who are in good health, have the sweetest faces, are high in intelligence and have loving personalities.  We have tried to reach the optimum of the Ragdoll Breed Standard, with breeders from Championship lines who have Vivid Blue Eyes, Large Size, Soft Bunny like Coats and wonderful personalities
