GoldenRagdolls

Our story

A small ragdoll cattery, run out of our living room.

We are a TICA-registered ragdoll breeder in Hudson, New York. Since 2014 we have raised a handful of litters a year — never more than we can socialize by hand — with a single obsession: healthy, well-adjusted kittens that flop into your arms and never look back.

We started with one queen and a stack of genetics textbooks. We had watched friends buy kittens from volume operations — cats that arrived skittish, sick, or nothing like what was promised — and we were convinced ragdolls deserved better than a spreadsheet and a cage.

A decade later, the philosophy hasn't changed. Our kittens are born in a nesting box in our bedroom and graduate to the middle of the house: underfoot in the kitchen, on laps at the dinner table, and thoroughly desensitized to the vacuum, the doorbell, and the dog. By the time a kitten meets you at twelve weeks, it has already decided that people are wonderful.

We test everything. We register every kitten with TICA. And we stay in your life long after pickup — because the families who trust us with a kitten become part of a very small, very devoted community.

Our queens

The mothers

Every kitten inherits its temperament and health from its parents. Here are the queens behind our litters — each fully health-tested and dearly loved.

Golden Ragdolls' Wren, a blue mitted ragdoll

Golden Ragdolls' Wren

Blue Mitted

Our foundation queen and the mother of this spring's litter. Wren is endlessly patient, an attentive mother, and the source of the easy, floppy temperament our lines are known for. HCM echo-clear, PKD DNA-clear.

TICA #RD-2020-0518-WR
Snowfield's Marigold, a seal bicolor ragdoll

Snowfield's Marigold

Seal Bicolor

A striking seal bicolor with a bold mask and mitts, imported from a respected New England line. Marigold produces large, structurally sound kittens and screens fully clear.

Our studs

The fathers

We keep one resident stud and work selectively with a proven outside stud to keep our lines healthy and genetically diverse.

Point Break's Atlas, a seal colorpoint ragdoll

Point Break's Atlas

Seal Colorpoint

Our resident stud and the sire of the spring litter. Atlas is a gentle, deep-voiced boy with a classic seal mask and remarkable eye color he passes on reliably. Echo-clear for HCM, DNA-clear for PKD.

Snowdrift's Kingfisher, a blue colorpoint ragdoll

Snowdrift's Kingfisher

Blue Colorpoint

An outside stud we work with selectively to keep our lines diverse. Kingfisher brings cool blue coloring and a famously mellow disposition. Health-tested clear.

Where they grow up

No cattery. Our home.

There is no separate kennel building here. Kittens are raised in the busiest rooms of our house, which is exactly why they arrive so unbothered by yours.

Our standards

What we will not compromise on

Health first

Both parents screened for HCM and PKD, results shared before you commit. No exceptions, ever.

Never a factory

A few litters a year, hand-socialized. We would rather turn families away than scale.

Twelve weeks minimum

Kittens stay with mother and littermates until they are genuinely ready — never rushed out early.

Lifelong support

We answer questions for the life of the cat and take a kitten back at any age if you ever cannot keep it.
