In the "Family Way"
Updated 2/02/08
Available Kittens
All of our 2007 kittens have been placed in loving Forever homes.
In the "Family Way"
We have just had 3 breedings:
Sunfish, a Cream Mitted, was bred to Days O' Glory, a Seal Color Point
Sky, a Blue Mitted with Blaze, was also bred to Days O' Glory.
Skyler, a Blue Color Point, was bred to Sunny, a Cream Mitted with Blaze
All three matings should have their kittens near the end of March or beginning of April. Sunfish could produce virtually every color, with or without mitts. Sky should produce all Seal and Blue kittens, with or without mitts and/or a blaze. Skyler could produce virtually all colors as well, some with mitts and/or blazes.
If you have been following our website, you may have noticed that Skyler was supposed to have had a litter of kittens near the end of January. She fooled us! She gave every sign that she was pregnant, but never had any babies. (We think she just wanted the extra attention we give our "mommies to be"!)
Pricing
Please note that we do not "sell" our kittens. We "place" them in loving homes. The difference between "Sell" and "Place" are very significant to us. We put the welfare of our kittens as our #1 priority and will ONLY place them in homes where we are sure they will be loved and cared for. We believe that placing a kitten in a home is not the end of a transaction, but the beginning of a relationship. With that in mind, these kittens will be placed in loving "Forever" homes for $450 each. Please also look below for additional details on pricing.

Pricing
Please contact us directly for availability and pricing. Deposits may be paid using PayPal. If using PayPal, payment should be sent to: Doug@RaynbowsRagdoll.com . Due to PayPal's fees to us, a 3% fee will be added to those who wish to pay the remaining balance (there is no surcharge on the deposit) using PayPal. Personal checks will be accepted as long as they are received a minimum of 2 weeks prior to kitten being placed. Kittens must be fully paid prior to being placed in their new homes.
Deposits
We are now accepting deposits of $200 per kitten on current or future litters. Deposits reserve your "picking" order. An exception to this: If another cattery is interested in Breeding Rights, they will automatically receive first pick of the available kittens. For further information, contact us at RaynbowsRagdoll, or call Douglas and Erin directly. We can be reached at 507-249-2434.
Microchipping
Your kitten is a substantial financial investment. As soon as you hold your kitten in your arms for the first time though, they will become priceless! While your kitten is an indoor only member of your family, we can never control the uncontrollable. Accidents and mistakes do happen and occasionally, a kitten will slip out the door. We microchip our own animals for that very reason. If your kitty were to get out, having them microchipped makes it so much easier to be sure they are returned to you safe and sound. We strongly recommend microchipping your kitten. If you tell us you want that, we can have the kitten microchipped as part of the regular veterinary care that we give your new baby! You can find out more about Microchipping your pet here: HomeAgain Pet Recovery System. Here is an interesting story that was in the paper about microchipping your animals - Hints From Heloise.
Picking up your Kitten
Kittens can be picked up once they reach 12 weeks of age, depending on how they are to be transported. We will judge each kitten individually, and some may be able to go to their new home as early as 10 weeks old. If they are going to be air-shipped, the airlines have their own policies regarding minimum age for shipping. Kittens are to be picked up at the specified time. We will hold them for up to one week beyond that time. If they have not been picked up yet, there will be an additional charge per week until they do go to their new homes.
Shipping
Shipping is available. The shipping charges will cover a suitable shipping crate, the required health certificate, and for us to transport the kitten to the airport, as well as the actual flight. If a kitten is going to be shipped, please let us know in advance so we can help you make the appropriate arrangements. In some cases, we may consider driving to deliver the kitten or meeting at a half way point. The charge for this will vary on the distance.
