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 from BellaPalazzo.

Please note: I raise Ragdoll kittens as a hobby. I love this breed, I love Ragdoll cats and Ragdoll kittens and I especially love MY babies. This is not a business for me. I do not make money, nor do I expect to.  The costs are huge, and the hours are endless. I do not get vacation. I do not get days off.  What I do get is endless hours of unconditional love and affection... priceless!!!

I will be eternally grateful for the guidance and friendship of Eileen Pickett of Villaroyal Ragdoll Cats, and Linda Schurawlow of Floppicat Ragdolls (now retired) and Fay McGee Waldner of Chatandolls (now retired). 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. I 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. Mary and Cliff Riddell of Furreal Ragdolls and Gail Arthur of Darlinlildols have now added to the BellaPalazzo Ragdolls gene pool with the arrival of Furreal Mavryck, Furreal OMG, Furreal Promise and Darlinlildols Mika. We now have a European girl, Ariokkierags Shabbys Blue Shades, from my favorite breeders, Okkie and Ar, in The Netherlands : Ariokkierags. Also added from Countrysiderags, Kristy and Bryan Goodloe in Idaho, Countrysiderags Walker!! All of these breeders have been wonderful to work with and I can highly recommend every one of them.

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.

Please be patient if you are waiting for pictures... All of my pictures are taken in my house, by myself... and it requires the right lighting and a quiet house to get good photographs. I do not get on the computer every day to respond to email. Do not be discouraged if I am slow to reply, sometimes emails get lost or are accidentally diverted to junk folders by my email program... and sometimes life is just busy here and I dont get to emails.

**Color and sex of kittens posted is subject to change until the kittens have been seen by my vet**
  it is hard to determine on young little babies..
and I have been known to be mistaken... repeatedly....

   Adult Ragdoll Cats 

Adult Ragdoll cats looking for forever homes:

 We have some retired breeders and some young adults that will be ready for new homes as soon as the right home is available. Please feel free to contact me about what is available, or let me know what you are looking for, as I may have a kitty that I would be willing to retire for the right home.

Available Adult Ragdolls:

If you are interested in providing a forever home for a retired breeding cat or retired show cat please request an application so I will be able to determine how I can help you. Not every cat is suitable to every home, fees are based on age and value. Most adult cats would be happiest to move to a home as an only cat to be the king/queen of their new world for at least a little while.

Regional Winner Supreme Grand Champion BellaPalazzo Trista blue point bicolor Sire: RW SGC BellaPalazzo Montego Dam: CH Ariokkierags Shabbys Blue Shades of BellaPalazzo DNA PKD, HCM MC and HCM RD negative lines Sweet Trista... so tolerant... lets anyone do anything to her... It is such a pleasure to show cats that dont complain LOL!!! The first girl from Shabbies litters that I could keep, she is a true doll. So very sad to retire her from breeding, but she deserves to sleep on a lap. She is spayed and ready for a forever home. She has not found her people yet... please no other cats or dogs. Trista is not a dominant cat (which is the ONLY reason I am placing her and not keeping her myself). I cant not place her where she may get bullied or be frightened.

BellaPalazzo Yadira blue point bicolor female DOB 3-19-2020 Sire: RW SGC BellaPalazzo Montego Dam: CH Ariokkierags Shabbys Blue Shades of BellaPalazzo DNA PKD, HCM MC and HCM RD negative lines The last kitten from my dear Shabby before she retired from breeding. Dearie is beautiful in every way. She is a full sister to Trista. Unfortunately she was not the best mother, and would much rather be the baby than have the babies... :-) She is a wonderful kitty, and hoping she can find a forever home with her big sister Trista. She is spayed and will be ready to go home in October.
