Welcome to Finer Point Ragdolls...
I have loved cats as long as I can
remember. Most of my life, I have had rescue cats and kittens.
They have all been wonderful and I still have some today. My
love for the Ragdoll breed came three years ago while reading Cat Fancy
Magazine. That month, their spotlighted breed was the Ragdoll.
I was unfamiliar with that breed but fell in love instantly with the cat
I saw covering an entire page. What a handsome boy. I
decided I had to have one just like him. He is a blue point
bicolor, so my search began. I spent hours on the internet
researching the breed and looking for breeders with available kittens.
I stumbled onto the website of Echoglen Ragdolls and my chin hit the
floor when I saw that picture. It was Echoglen Limited Edition
(Eddie), the cat from the magazine. I saw that there were
available kittens on the site and at least one was a blue bicolor male,
so I contacted the breeder, Laura Nielsen. It just so happened
that this little boy was the son of Eddie. I thought, it must be
fate. I adopted this kitten and named him Spencer. He has a
fantastic personality and rugged good looks so with Laura's permission,
I began to show Spencer as a kitten and then as an adult alter at TICA
shows. Spencer did great! He is now retired from showing as
a Supreme Grand Champion and Regional Winner .
While showing Spencer, I met several wonderful
Ragdoll breeders who became my friends and who have been very supportive
of me. With Spencer retired, I still wanted to show. So, I
adopted my second Ragdoll alter from Carol Jaquez of Adorabledolls
Ragdolls. His name, Adorabledolls Adonis, and boy did he fit his
name. Another blue bicolor, Adonis was stunning. Shown as a
kitten and an adult alter, he did fantastic! He finished Best Cat
among all breeds 23 times. He is a Supreme Grand Champion and two
time Regional Winner. Adonis is now retired and living the good
life with Spencer and me. You can find links to both Echoglen Ragdolls
and Adorabledolls Ragdolls below.
At this point, I was totally hooked on
showing my Ragdoll cats but I wanted to do more. With the
encouragement and mentoring of Laura Nielsen, I decided to become a
Ragdoll breeder. My intent is to keep my cattery small and
produce superb kittens. I now have three beautiful breeder
females...Sara, Sophia, and Samantha.
You can find out more about them on the "My Girls" page.
Here are the boys that started it
all...Spencer and Adonis. Aren't they handsome?! I am
very proud of them both!
