Retired Ragdoll Breeder Available For Adoption

It is always hard when one retires a breeder to make sure they get placed in the perfect home.  I wish I could keep all of them but I know they would have a better or more peaceful life with that perfect family.
No other cats with hormones to deal with.

Cerafina is almost 6 years of age and a blue bicolor female with fantastic deep blue eyes.  She was an excellent protective mother to several litters and now she is retired.  She deserves to be pampered and the Queen of the house.  She has already been spayed and received all her vaccines including rabies.  She is DNA HCM negative.

Her ideal home would  have no young children and perhaps one other pet or no pet.  She likes attention but also likes her independence.  She is medium in size and has short/medium length hair. She likes playing with her toys and sometimes can act like a kitten.  She prefers a nice view on a perch and to clean herself while enjoying her view.  She would make a good pet to the right family.

Her adoption fee covers her spay and medical expenses.  Please email me at megaileeragdolls@yahoo.com and tell me a bit about yourself.

Blue Bicolor Lynx Kitten Hurt His Paw


One morning I entered the kitten nursery and one kitten was holding his paw limply up in the air and running on the other three paws. He seemed sad that he could not keep up with the other kittens and since he was only 6 weeks old he wanted to play.

I never experienced this before and am unsure exactly how it happened. The main think is I want to make sure he was healthy and happy.

I took him to the vet and he said that he popped his wrist out of the socket. He put it in and wrapped up his whole leg. The boy was so brave and never cried except on the way home and so he was named Hercules.

Tomorrow we go back to the vet and hopefully they will remove the bandage and he will be 100%.

Megailee Ragdoll Kittens - Weaning Time


The litter of 7 kittens are now 4 weeks of age. If you count the heads you will count seven. All in this litter are bicolor as both parents are bicolor. We have blues and seals. I have a larger fleece bed but they seem to enjoy getting cozy in the smaller bed.
As long as they are warm and happy then I am happy.

A lot is happening at this age. They need to learn to eat solids and give their mom a break. Litterbox training is also happening at this time. I also have accessibility to scratch posts to get them training.


When solid food is introduced some take to it and others will lag behind. When ever food is introduced there is also the chance of tummy upsets and diarrhea as well. The slow introduction of solids is often a 2-3 week process but the goal is to be fully weaned by 8 weeks of age. I have known 4 month old kittens to continue to nurse if the opportunity is presented.

Litter box training is part nature, nurture, and training. Clay litter is used just in case they should swallow it so that they do not choke. So far there is good training going on and they are watching their mom and have a desire to learn and be clean. When they are adopted at about 11/12 weeks of age they are used to clay and clumping litter in both covered and uncovered boxes.

They are staring at the scratch post so I think it may take a few days until they climb it and use it. I put both vertical and horizontal posts around. They enjoy the vertical ones with the toy on top as it becomes a ragdoll kitten contest to see who reaches the top first. The winner gets the best view and a hug from me. Actually they all gets hugs and kisses.
