Camelot Haven 2012

Welcome!
to the wonderful world of Ragdolls.

Everyone should hold a Ragdoll, once before they die.

Hi, I'm Janet, my granddaughter, Ryn. And

WE LOVE RAGDOLLS!!

There are 5 new babies at Camelot.  They can be seen around the first of May and taken home the middle part of June.

Magic has had a litter of 4.  They are 8 days old.  They will be ready the second week of August.  

No matter how perfect something is, someone has got to try and improve it.  Which brings me to the subject of "Minks". The "mink" color is not RARE, it is undesirable. The "MINK" can not be shown in any Fancy as a Ragdoll, they must be shown as household pets.  Buying a show quality mink, sepia, or solid is sort of like shooting yourself in the foot.
 
This includes the eyes, only "blue eyes" are acceptable.
 
 

YESSS!! His favorite bowl.

The new stud at Camelot:  This will be the first stud for Camelot that has Camelot's prefix.  So that reads: Camelot Haven's, Kodak Moment.  Rah!!!! 

And now we can add "champion" to that long name.

Just a few pointers.
 
Never play with your kitten with your hands, hands are for loving, toys are for fun. 
 
Ragdolls are classified as a pointed cat.  There are no solid colored Ragdolls. Colorpoint means that the tail, head and  feet have the color.  A mitted Ragdoll will have white mitts but the legs, tail and head will have the color. The "bi"  has colored tail and head, Feet and legs are white.  These are the only three patterns recognized, for show. 
 
 
Again, not all Ragdolls are lap sitters.  Every kitten has their own personality, some are church goers and some are bikers.  
 
You have a Rag that gulps their food?  Then throws up!! Put ping pong balls in the dry kibble, they have to work around them and it slows them down. 
 
I have just lost another one of my babies to kidney problems.  Of course it's a male, they always are.  His name was Sammy and his mother called this morning to tell me.  
 
Please feed wet food, on a daily bases especially if you have a male.  A tablespoon or two mixed with water.  I add a half cup of water to a 5.5 size can of wet food (soupy).   To that, I can add my vitamins,  Canned pumpkin for either diarrhea or constipation, Olive oil for coat, whatever.
 
Our kibble, even the best that money can buy is not a substitute for wet meat, the natural diet for any kind of cat. 
 
The wet food is just added liquid in the diet.  And they do love it so.  This is not a scientific study, just my own observations through the years.  I've had several females with kidney problems and most of the time they were pregnant with added stress to the kidneys.  Not so with the males, it has to be the diet and their plumbing, that puts them at risk. 
 
We can't change their plumbing, so it's sort of a safe guard, like taking an aspirin a day if you have a heart problem.
 
 
An artical I found:
 
 Although many people rely on dry cat food as a staple for their cats' diets, canned cat food is a must for developing strong bones and muscles, while mitigating many potential conditions caused or contributed to by an all-dry cat food diet.
 
Got a fatty, need to lose some weight?  Don't cut back on the wet food, cut back on the kibble.  Kibble has more caleries and if you add a tablespoon of water to the wet, it's mostly water. 

Aaw!!! Sweet it is>

I rotate toys, like with any baby, interest span on the ragdoll is about the same.

Menu is on the bottom of the page, I don't know why.
 
A lot of my photos are courtesy of the Ragdoll owners, themselves.  I did add  a photo clause to my contract, and most have honored this. I never get tired of seeing these guys growing up. Some are harder to give up than others, but none of them are easy.
 

This is Dez, he's a blue colorpoint male.

And why there is a photo clause in my contract.

This is Teddy, all dressed up for Christmas.

I told you Whitney had a new friend. Mac AKA

Dojo has joined the Wood family and that gives them an extra dose of love.

You are going to have this baby for 17 some odd years.  It should not be asking too much to let me keep them for 12 weeks.  My kittens are totally guaranteed and I need to give them the best send off I can possible give. 
 
As for bonding??  You're thinking cats and I'm thinking Ragdolls.  ALL RAGDOLLS BOND, regardless of age.  Gunner, Bandit and UB, were all placed, in their new homes, after after the age of one year.  I could not get them back from their owners, if I hired a hit man.
 
I am not a rich woman and there is no way, I would incur the extra cost of keeping kittens, an extra month, (from 8 wks to 12 wks) unless I thought it was imperative to do so. 
 
Early weening has been linked to biting and scratching, bad potty habits, and a general all around unsociable kitten.  See the "Barbara French" link below.

Subject: Sparky (Nevada)
Hi Janet
I have to share a story about Sparky.  The other day, Sera (our dog and Sparky's best friend) was not feeling well.  She was stretching her stomach and standing by the door.  No one was around, so Sparky started talking and running down the hall to my son's room.  He then turned around like he wanted to be followed, so Dane followed him.  He ran straight to Sera and started sniffing her.  He was telling Dane that Sera needed to go out.  Sera is a Basenji and they don't bark.  Sparky is such a smart ragdoll!

This is Bella. She has fallen in love with that

other baby. And who can blame her, such a doll.

A smaller Bella and not quite so in love.

China , wanted to get that ragdoll tail on the
100_0685.jpg
web site. Quiet and sweet.

I have been breeding Ragdolls for about 13 years. 
 
 Pet quality kittens are $850.00, they are spay/neutered,  and vaccinated 3 times (the first one at 3 weeks which consist of intranasal drops), and before they leave Camelot.  All babies are papered and guaranteed neg/neg for the RD and MC, HCM. . 
 
Hyper Cardiomyopathy is a heart condition that is genetic, lethal, and absolutely incurable. 
 
In order to stomp HCM out, all breeders of Ragdolls need to test their own breeders.  Some have chosen not to.  Do yourself a favor and ask for the printout of the HCM test results of their breeders before buying a kitten.   This is not an expensive test, and even if it was, you don't breed kittens to die.
 
Don't fall for the "I've never  had a kitten die from HCM, so I don't have it".  Most breeders that tested and found it in their lines, were absolutely stunned.

Lady Doll and Raggins 2012

They just go hand and hand.

These are my opinion, only!! Some breeders will agree, some will disagree.
 
Ragdolls DO shed, in fact you shed about 100 hairs a day.  Because of the unique coat, they don't shed as much, nor year around, like other pets.  Although they don't need daily grooming, a Ragdoll can matte, during shedding season.  
 
Not all Ragdolls are lap cats, Some are "I'd just like to be by your side" cats.  Every Ragdoll, just like every person, has their own personality.  Most Ragdolls are Puppy-Cats.  And even if they don't want to be in your lap, they follow everywhere. 
 
All Ragdolls have blue eyes.  There are no solid colored Rags and that includes the minks. 
 
There are phony registry's, that will register any breed.  Be sure your kitten  is registered with the correct registry, when you purchase
 
 
Ragdolls are NOT for everyone.  If you have a busy schedule or are away from home a great deal of the day, you need a cat that doesn't care.  Ragdolls do.  You want a lap cat that will sit with you and let you hold them?  Make sure that lap is at home a good deal the time.  Nothing causes more behavioral problems, than a negelected Ragdoll.

This is Monster and his dog. I love the expresion
