Look for updates on upcoming litters for 2025

You will see so many other breeders out there making statements as "from champion lines",            "international champion lines", " champion pedigree", "supreme grand champion bloodlines". Statements such as these doesn't actually mean a breeder shows their cats. They have bought their cat(s) with a "champion" somewhere in the pedigree. This could be as far back as 10 generations. A lot can be lost even in just 2-3 generations.  The key to a successful breeding program is to produce sound cats, not only in structure, but in temperament as well. Showing breeding cats gives me insight to both. Are they structurally sound to carry on the next generation? Do they have the true Ragdoll personality? It is important as a breeder to never stop learning and trying to improve. 

It takes time and money to take my cats to shows. From all the grooming, high entry fees, hotel stays, gas, and food. I do it for the love of the breed, to make sure my cats are what a Ragdoll is meant to be. I have made some amazing friend along the way :)

Most people are under the misconception that males "spray". This is true of a male cat that has not been neutered, it is not true of a kitten that has been neutered before puberty. Females that have not been spayed have also been known to "spray". They spray to attract either gender to mate. 

 When you adopt a kitten that has been spayed or neutered and doesn't have those hormones that make them spray, then it all comes down to personal preference. Males will get bigger than females. Other than that there is not much difference. 

Another misconception is males are more affectionate than females. In my personal experience, I find all my cats have their own individual personality. Male or female, doesn't make a difference:) 

A common fallacy is that kittens should not be spayed or neutered until 6 months of age. I'm not sure who or why this is the age. Their is no scientific evidence that says 6 months is better than 3 or 4 months. In fact, there have been many studies to the benefits of early alter.

An excerpt from EVERYCAT HEALTH FOUNDATION;

In the early 1990s, Mark Bloomberg, DVM,MS,DACVS, and Preston Stubbs, DVM, DACVS, at the University of Florida, conducted the first health and behavior studies on kittens altered at seven weeks of age and compared them to kittens altered at seven months of age. Their work proved that earlier spay/neuter was safe and feasible, and formed the basis for further research that established the best anesthetic and surgical protocols for early-age altering. Since these first studies were published, other short-term and long-term studies have validated the safety of early-age altering.

All pet and show kittens will be spayed or neutered prior to placement in their new home with NO expections.  

We all want a pet to live a long happy life. Choosing a breeder that stands behind the health of their cats is very important. I know my cats and their bloodlines and I stand behind them 100%. Its easy for me to give a 5 year genetic health guarantee.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic heart disease. Cats affected by HCM are at risk of a sudden cardiac death. In Ragdoll cats, a breed-specific mutation has been found to be associated with increase risk for HCM.

Feline polycystic kidney disease (PKD1) is a genetic form of polycystic kidney disease commonly seen in Persians and cats with Persian ancestry.  Affected cats develop cysts on their kidneys, which often leads to renal failure at later stage.

Triniti Dollz is proud to be a Genetically Tested cattery. As a reputable breeder, I testify that every cat/kitten has been produced from parents/bloodlines negative for the known DNA HCM and PKD mutation found in the Ragdoll breed, as well as over 50 other additional genetic diseases.

My kittens eat Iams dry kitten food (free choice). The also eat Iams kitten, a variety of Friskies canned food, Fresh is Best freeze dried raw cat food, Fresh is Best freeze dried treats, and Stella and Chewy chick chick chicken.

Cats never drink enough water, but with a fountain they are enticed to drink more. Some kittens love it and some prefer a water bowl.  If your kitten prefers a water bowl, get them a stainless steal or glass bowl. Stay away from the plastic bowls, they can cause kitty acne.

I have tried all different kinds of litter. My favorite is World's Best Litter and any of Dr. Elsy's brand.

I start my kittens out with Worlds best litter. When they are older I switch to Dr. Elsy's Crystal non clumping litter. 

Ragdolls are very clean cats and like their litter boxes to be clean :)

Ragdolls are very clean cats. They do their best to keep themselves clean. It isn't necessary to bathe a Ragdoll frequently. Too frequent bathing will strip the natural oils of the coat causing your cat to create dandruff and have a dry coat. If you want to bathe them I wouldn't recommend doing it more than 3-4 months. I use the blue dawn dish soap and biosilk whitening shampoo. You can use any shampoo designed for animals. Don't forget to blow dry them, you don't want your baby getting cold :) 

All animals shed, but the Ragdoll is a low maintenance long haired cat breed. They only have a single layered coat, unlike some other breeds. They don't have an undercoat that will mat and requires a lot of brushing. 

A good brushing everyday or every other day with a steal comb or slicker brush will keep your Ragdoll beautiful.

I start taking deposits when my kittens are 6 weeks old.  

You will be allowed to visit your kitten after they have received their first FVRCP vaccine at 2 months. And you have already paid a deposit for your kitten.

We limit visitors to people who have paid their deposit. Young kittens are extremely vulnerable to airborne diseases.  Mothers can be very protective over their babies, and strangers can cause unnecessary stress. So for the health of our babies we don't allow random visits.

There are a lot of online kitten sale scammers these days.  
Beware if there is no social media presence. They only accept wire transfers or ask for complete payment upfront.  They are unable to provide client or vet references.
