Willow Pond Ragdolls in Cheshire, Connecticut
Located in central Connecticut.
Willow Pond Ragdolls
John and Linda Ingmanson started raising Ragdoll cats in 1989. For several years, we showed our cats with great success. Our first stud, Tiger, attained Grand Championship status in CFF at a time when there were few Ragdolls showing and they weren't as accepted as they are now. It was quite a triumph for the breed! Once we had children, we retired from the show circuit, but now our kids and their friends help socialize and raise our Ragdoll babies. Our foundation queen, Ashley, was also a champion. While Tiger and Ashley have since crossed the rainbow bridge, we are now breeding with their grandson, Bruce, a gorgeous, loveable and friendly seal mitted boy who passes on his stunning blue eyes, charming disposition and rabbit-fur-like coat to his offspring.
While we are between litters, please try Nanci Hovey at kai-tai@webtv.net or visit her website www.hikrisfarms.com for alternate contact information. She is another Connecticut breeder I recommend and she is expecting a litter.
Another breeder to call is Linda at Blueberri Cottage (located near Foxwoods Casino). Her email address is: liorlano@comcast.net. As of 3/24/09, she's got a beautiful litter of boys!
You can also contact Stephanie at info@theragdollboutique.com - her cat Daisy (one of our own!) just had her first litter. Congrats to Daisy and Stephanie!
January 19, 2010 UPDATE
The ladies are still on hiatus, but Pepper and Bruce were feeling romantic last week, so...who knows? Perhaps in nine weeks, we'll have a new litter. I will keep the site updated. Please remember, THE BEST WAY TO REACH ME IS VIA E-MAIL. Catalyst8@aol.com I promise a prompt reply (much more prompt than you would get trying to reach me by phone - I try to catch up on phone calls on weekends, but I'm at the computer every evening).
