Raglin Ragdoll Cattery has
retired from breeding

I will leave this website up for a while so that
potential Ragdoll kitten buyers can familiarise themselves
with what to look for in a reputable breeder and
healthy Ragdoll kittens

You might find this article interesting -
but do make sure that when you find a
"bargain priced" Ragdoll kitten
that it is really a bargain.  In other words ...
do your homework!

Don't be fooled by "it is too expensive to register kittens". 
Registrations are as low as R20.00!
If you are paying R5500,00 plus for your purebred registered Ragdoll kitten,
make sure that your kitten has received at least two sets of
core vaccinations and has been sterilised prior to getting it.
That is a fair price for a medium hair breed from a reputable registered breeder
on condition that you get all of the above included in the price

Carol : Very sad to hear this news, I would not want to adopt from any other breeder after adopting from you!  I am so happy to that I came to know of you and am so grateful for the most adorable babies that I have.  My little treasure chests, they mean the world to me!  You are so incredibly special, I wish you all the happiness you so deserve!  Thank you for enriching my life with the most precious bundles of love, they bring us endless joy and we marvel at their beauty every day!

Sharon : I know it's been a tough decision and I know you have spent endless nights thinking this over.  Yes, there will be lots of not too happy potential buyers, your kittens are after all "the best of the best" and you as a breeder are surely one of the most dedicated to your cats and kittens! That all said I respect your decision although I must admit I am so glad that I found you before you retired because I now have the two most wonderful kittens in the world!!! Linn it has been an honour to know you, not only as the Boys' Mom but also a friend

Patti : What can I say, I am quite devastated, I saw your email as I was going to bed last night and just felt so sad that I couldn’t reply there and then. I know that you have been thinking about this for a while but guess that everyone (myself included), secretly hoped, for purely selfish reasons that this would not happen.  You guys are an institution!  What will the Ragdoll community do without their Linn and Robert to always be there for them and to give us such wonderful advice on anything that we need to know regarding our precious little bundles that we got from you.  I have so enjoyed all your photo shoots but the ones that have always touched my heart are the ones of your amazing cats, kittens etc., and I will really miss them and sharing in their birth (by your wonderful photos), as they grow to just before leaving the nest!  Do you realise that my two are now 8 years old and it seems like we have known you forever and shared many wonderful times (some sad too), of your beautiful Ragdolls, and to think that there will be no more babies to look forward to, is just awful. You are very special to a lot of us.  Thank you for letting us share so much with you, it has been an amazing experience and something that I will always cherish 

Annie : I am really sorry to hear this. Thank you so much for Molz and Thomas - they are my gorgeous children and we both love them so much

Sunet : This is a big loss for the Ragdoll breed

Niekie : It is sad to hear and a great loss

Charles : Even though we expected this news it is still so sad to get it

Nats : That is the saddest news of the decade! We are so blessed to be the proud owners of one of Raglin's finest

Andre : Oh Linn, I'm so sad to hear this. I was always hoping to get a last Bicolour from you!

Tarryn : Wow Linn! This has been a huge decision for you I'm sure!

Helen : This is so very sad.  You have done such a fantastic job breeding these cats over the years, you can really feel a sense of achievement.  You have been such a wonderful, ethical breeder – my recent experience is a sad demonstration that not all breeders are in the same category

Petra : This is never an easy decision but sometime necessary and “brave”. You are a true legend and your babies will bring joy to many people for many years to come

Charline : it is a great loss that you are retiring now

Marie-Louise : I am so sorry to hear this.  Linn, thank you for what you have done to the Ragdoll breed in this country.  You have made the breed well know and well loved.  You are highly regarded among breeders because of your high standards when it comes to adopting and caring for the cats

Suzanne : I just wanted to thank you again for our beautiful baby . He brings so much joy to our life every day! Words can’t express how much we adore our little baby

Leanne : Very sad to hear this…

Rosemary : So sorry to hear that!  It is a big pity as I will miss seeing pics of those cute chocolate box kittens

Vivian : Sad to hear this but it is a decision all of us breeders have to make at some stage

Lynette : My goodness, what a shock to see your news …

Athylle : Wow that is a big decision you have made and I am sure the right one for you. I wish you luck in the new chapter in your life

Brenda : Well you know how I feel about this :-(

Natasha : It is a very sad day for the Ragdoll breed in South Africa

Carol : A momentous decision and a sad loss for the Ragdolls in South Africa

Diane : This is such sad news. I just want to say that I am so grateful to you for allowing me to adopt my two beautiful babies. They have brought so much love and happiness into our home and it is all thanks to you

Margo : It is rather sad to think no more cute kittens running around when I visit you.  I think you gave it a good go and your reputation speaks for itself

Sharon : I am so sad to be reading this...   I cannot begin to imagine the responsibility and dedication that goes with running such a fine cattery. My kitties are so healthy and so well adjusted and this is because of their good breeding and having had such exceptional care when they were babies in your home

Eliz : I can imagine this to be a hard decision, but when you have the best interest of the cat and yourself at heart, this is the way to go. You can feel proud of what you've accomplished over the years for your breed

Leatitia : Dit is baie hartseer. Ek is nou eers bly dat ek vir Saartjie en Kerneels het en dat ek die voorreg gehad het om twee van Raglin se katjies kon aanneem

Vanessa : Sorry to hear you are retiring from the breeding world.  It certainly will be a huge loss

Judy : There will be many heartbroken owners and potential owners of your wonderful kittens/cats. From Dave and I we can only express our grateful thanks to you and Robert for your absolute kindness in giving Debbie Chupps at a time when she most desperately needed something special in her life. Chupps has added a very special dimension to Debbie's life and I have to say is loved as dearly by Andy as Debbie - so needless to say a truly loved cat. I am sure it has taken much thought with you vacillating between giving it up and carrying on depending on where you are in the cycle with kittens and the enormous amount of work they have entailed

Jules : Well I am sure it is a good decision for you guys but it is sad for us to hear. When I told Mark, he said “Oh no! What if we want another one?” We love our Ragdolls to bits and they are such characters and give us such joy. Thank you for our babies
