Welcome to Ravera Ragdolls...

"Reputable Registered Breeders of the Beautiful Ragdoll"

Placing many babies in wonderful homes over the years...

We are a registered cattery situated near Wollongong on the South Coast of NSW, AUSTRALIA.

My wish for a Ragdoll began many years ago, while watching a TV program called "Burkes Backyard" when they road tested the Ragdoll. "Tia" was my first Ragdoll bought for me by my husband for mothers day (2004).

I was so amazed by her, she loved our son Jake (only 4mths). Tia just wanted to be around him and played with him ever so gently. Tia is retired now! Jake and Tia have a special bond. She is never too far from him and always goes to bed when Jake does.

Tia our first Ragdoll!

We started our journey as a small Boutique Cattery! Realizing after a few years, that we needed to have more Kings & Queens with unrelated bloodlines to continue our breeding program. As related breeding, was not an option for us.

Our Ragdolls are firstly our pets and their needs are paramount. We have always maintained our Boutique Style of our Cattery and have continued to have and produce healthy, happy Ragdolls!

Specializing in Ragdolls, we pride ourselves on our integrity and have always taken a holistic approach!

Aiming to optimise their health: investing a lot of expense on genetic testing and selective breeding with unrelated lines. Type: is important as this is what makes them so beautiful and those stunning blue eye's are just unforgettable. Temperament: is extremely important as this is what makes them so special and adored by their owners.

"A Happy Cat Is A Healthy Cat"

All our Kings & Queens are DNA tested HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) negative and Pkd (Polycystic Kidney Disease) negative. Also blood tested for FIV (Feline Aids) and FeLV (Feline Leukaemia Virus) negative.

We have been advised by our Specialist Vet to test for these particular diseases, even though the percentage of infection is quite low with some of these diseases: we believe any test that gives us peace of mind, when handing over our little ones to their forever homes is invaluable.

We aim to share and preserve, the wonderful world called "Ragdoll"

About Ragdolls..

Ragdolls have a very laid back and gentle disposition! They enjoy following their owners/family members everywhere, even if it is to the bathroom. Ragdolls' are great with children and tolerant of other pets. Enjoy any company, even if it is the pet bird in a cage.

Ragdolls are an indoor cat, they enjoy inside living and are very happy keeping the lounge warm or being a shadow. All the above characteristics and traits, explains why they have been referred to as the "dog of the cat world". Being overly friendly and not too apprehensive makes it quite dangerous for them to be outside unattended.

Their coat texture is similar to rabbit fur and is generally an easy care coat only needing brushing once a week, possibly a little more with their winter coats.

We pride ourselves on our beautiful native gardens, specifically designed for our precious Kings & Queens. Enjoying some outside living due to it being a cat safe area, gives them the opportunity to ingest extra nutriences from the native grasses etc. Soaking up the sunshine and the opportunity to hide, play and roll in the dirt if they desire: We believe this has been a major factor in the high quality of our Ragdolls.
