BellaPalazzo Ragdoll Cats is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Ragdoll cat breed. Occasionally there are Ragdoll kittens available for select homes or adult Ragdoll cats looking for a forever home of their own. Below you will find information about the breed I have chosen to work with, the Ragdoll cat, as well as many cat and kitten pictures. Please do your research on cat breeds and cat breeders before you make any decisions on purchasing a Ragdoll cat. BellaPalazzo is very selective about the placement of our kittens. Owning a pet requires a long term commitment to their care and happiness. We have done years of personal trial and error work to send you home with all of the very best information on how to raise and care for your new Ragdoll kitten.

I will be eternally grateful for the guidance and friendship of Eileen Pickett of Villaroyal Ragdoll Cats, and Linda Schurawlow of Floppicat Ragdoll Cats and Fay McGee Waldner of Chatandolls Ragdolls. Without these ladies never ending love for the Ragdoll breed, their incredible integrity and moral character.... and of course the quality of the cats they have trusted to me, BellaPalazzo would not exist. We would also like to thank our dear friend Francesca Metz of SF Exclusives for sending us Humphrey to continue our breeding program with new and wonderful bloodlines.

Ragdoll Kittens Available

Ragdoll kittens, like all pointed breeds, are born entirely white. The colorpoint gene that gives pointed breeds (such as the Ragdoll) their blue eyes and light body color with darker "points" produces pigment depending on the temperature. Inside the mother, the kittens are very warm and no pigment is produced. It is not until the Ragdoll kittens are born and exposed to cooler air temperatures that they will begin to produce pigment and their fur will show color in the parts of their bodies that do not have as much heat- the tail, feet, legs and ears (their "points").
Pointed colors come in gradually as kittens age, and may not reach full intensity until the cat is 3-4 years old. As a colorpoint cat ages, they may darken through the body also, but should always show a clear definition between the body color and point color.

He has perfect ear set, lovely large eyes as the standard requires, excellent boning and wonderful size. He refuses to sit still long enough to have a good picture taken... but his character is as sweet as they come.

This boy is a joy to show, and a joy to own. Silly, affectionate and full of happiness, he has finished his show season and is ready for a home where he will be the one and only in your heart.

Why I am cautious about selling breeding cats:

BellaPalazzo Glori

Glori was repossessed from Rebecca Wixson of Raggledazzle Ragdolls in Florida who had promised to show her, allowed her to get sick and then bred her and refused to return her. I had to hire an attorney to file a lawsuit against Rebecca Wixson in small claims court to force the return of Glori (along with the other two cats, Eyan and Faylinn, this breeder had from me). The lawsuit was filed based on violations of the signed contracts. The two girls arrived home in deplorable condition including parasites, wounds, sores and were emaciated. (click here for picture of Faylinn the day after she came home from Raggledazzle Ragdolls). Glori was spayed due to a chronic eye discharge and ulcerated nose leather that she came home with... and I was worried could be contagious. She has now found a home with caring woman who loves her. Faylinn and Eyan were isolated for over a year before being integrated into my kitty family again.

UPDATE!!
Here is Glori now... as you can see she is now cherished and loved the way a Ragdoll should be!! We are so happy to get these pictures showing that Glori is happy and safe now.
