Uncaged, kittens are allowed free roam of the house (when age appropriate) with the adult cats as well as two Old English Sheepdogs, Annee and Maggie. We use Essential Oils (ONLY therapeutic grade) for our animals as well as for ourselves. Our holistic veterinarian is regarded highly in her field and has traveled extensively teaching classes with the use of essential oils in the treatment of all animals as well as birds. For their protection, all kittens are spayed or neutered before going to their purr-manent homes. Ragdolls are STRICTLY indoor cats, and should never be de-clawed. Our goal is to keep our kittens affordable, healthy, and retain the wonderful Ragdoll temperment. Feel free to visit our website at kalakatz.com for photos of our cats (breeders, pets, and past kittens) .
