Information on Ragamuffin kittens and cats, by Rivendell Rags Cattery. These ragamuffins are know as gentle giants.

Long time Breeders and Fanciers of the RagaMuffin believe that it is the finest pet available, and anyone who is looking for a BIG CUDDLY TEDDY BEAR will fall in love with one. They tend to bond with their owners. Unlike many breeds, the RagaMuffin will crave attention from all their family members. Usually they will be big lap sitters or want to be right beside you as soon as you sit down anywhere. They will beg for attention until you give in and pick them up for a hug and a chin rub. They like children, dogs, and other cats. They get along with birds and other critters, too, because they are really not hunters. As kittens they are weaned and ready for a home between 12-16 weeks. Most of them will develop traits usually associated with puppies, such as: following their family around the house, learning to fetch, helping you comb your hair in the morning, waiting for you to come home at the door. Also they can be trained to walk on a leash and sit up on their hind legs. These RagaMuffin cats weigh from 8-20 pounds. The females weighing between 8-12 pounds, and the males between 15-20 pounds. They are have extraordinarily sweet personalities and can be taught to do tricks.

Regardless of the gender, color, size or look of the cat, we selectively breed our RagaMuffins for the perfect disposition. In the ACFA standard, disposition counts for thirty out of one hundred points. They should go limp when you pick them up which makes them easy to handle. The RagaMufffin is strickly an indoor pet. They are happy in both homes or apartments. The RagaMuffin is docile, by nature, and must be kept from harm's way. They tend to be "soft pawed" which means they use their claws less frequently when playing. They enjoy having their tummies rubbed and will often lie on their backs with legs splayed in invitation.

The RagaMuffin has a soft plush coat which comes in a rainbow of colors and patterns that include:

Colors: Seals, chocolate, blue, lilac, lynx, mink, sable, black, red, silver, shaded, smoke, cameo, and cream.
Patterns: Color point, lynx point, Bi-color, mitted, solid, tabby, tortie, and calico, all with or without white.
They look at the world through eyes that come in an array of beautiful colors such as: blue, green, gold, amber, and aqua. The color points will all have blue eyes. They have tufts of fur in their ears and between their toes.

These RagaMuffin cats feel they are a friend to everybody.

See our Availability page for kittens that we have now or a retired adult that we occasionally want to find a forever home for.
