🌸Where Exquisite Blue Eyes🌸
& Exceptional Personalities Meet
Ragamuffin & Ragdoll Kittens🌸Central Nebraska
🌸Welcome to Nikki's Heavenly Rags🌸
There are cats and then there are Ragdolls.
Growing up in the Nebraska Sandhills, animals were simply part of life. Dogs, horses, livestock and plenty of good old fashioned scratching farm cats. We Loved the all-but anyone who has had known both knows there is a BIG difference between the independent farm cat and relaxed Ragdoll who thinks your lap, your bed, your chair and quite possibly your entire day belong to them.🤣
That incredible personality is what made us fall in love.
Ragdolls and Ragamuffins are beautiful, of course the soft coats, gorgeous eyes and fluffy little faces are pretty hard to resist. But around here, personality wins everytime. We love the sweet, floppy, people loving, nature these cats are known for and want our kittens to grow into wonderful capanions, not simply beautiful cats.
💗A Little Different Kind of Nursery💗
Our kittens are raised right in our home, where my husband and I probably love on them far more than necessary (if there is such a thing). And they have another pretty special advantage--Extra snuggles, giggles and loving touches from happy kitten loving kiddos I have as a childcare provider, nudges from canine friend, Molly.
As the kittens grow, they receive gentle, supervised interaction with children and become familiear with the wsounds, movement and everyday commotion of real life. There are cuddles, toys, little voices and plenty of attention.
To us, that early socialization matters.
We want our kittens to leave here curious and confident, comfortable being handled and, most importantly, expecting people to be their friends.
Beautiful Is Only the Beginning
Health, temperament, and quality are the heart of our program. We carefully watch our babies as they grow because every kitten develops a personality all their own--and helping the right kitten find the right home matters to us.
We may be a little biased, but we think there is something pretty heavenly about a beautiful cat who actually wants to be wherever you are.
Why Ragdoll Cats Make Wonderful Pets
There are so many reasons we fell in love with Ragdolls! Between their sweet personalities, beautiful blue eyes, fluffy coats, and love for their people, it's pretty easy to understand why they've become such a popular family cat.
-
Ragdolls are known for their incredibly sweet, gentle, and affectionate personalities.
-
They tend to be very people-oriented and often want to be wherever their family is.
-
Ragdolls enjoy being held more than other cats, and some will let you carry them around.
-
Ragdoll cats are sometimes referred to as "floppy cats" because they go limp when held.
-
Many Ragdolls will follow their favorite people from room to room just to see what they're doing.
-
Their gorgeous blue eyes are one of the most recognizable features of the breed.
-
Ragdolls have beautiful soft, semi-long coats that don't require professional grooming.
-
Despite all that fluff, their coats are generally easier to care for than many people expect, especially with regular brushing.
-
Ragdolls are wonderful with children when they're properly socialized and treated gently.
-
Ragdolls get along very well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs, especially when properly introduced.
-
They're playful and silly without usually being quite as busy or high-energy as some other breeds.
-
Ragdolls make wonderful indoor cats and are usually perfectly happy living their lives safely inside with their families.
-
They're often described as “gentle giants” because of their larger size and typically sweet, easygoing personalities.
-
Ragdolls are slow to mature and can continue growing and filling out for several years.
-
Cats can provide wonderful comfort and companionship, and you can learn more about how they may help as emotional support animals.
-
Ragdolls are generally quiet, well-behaved cats that aren't overly vocal, making them easygoing companions to have around the house.
-
Ragdolls are intelligent and inquisitive cats that love exploring their surroundings, investigating new things, and keeping an eye on whatever their family is doing.
-
Ragdoll cats' average lifespan is 12-20 years. Many of them live into their late teens!
-
Ragdolls are usually happiest when they're included in everyday family life rather than spending most of their time off by themselves.
-
They still love to play! Many enjoy wand toys, chasing balls, climbing cat trees, and sometimes even learning to play fetch.
-
One of the things we love most about Ragdolls is how attached they can become to their people. They're such loving little companions, and there's nothing quite like having a big fluffy Ragdoll following you around the house just because they want to be near you.
It's that combination of beauty, sweetness, and companionship that made us fall in love with Ragdolls in the first place, and why we think they're such amazing family cats.
