Ragdoll

O Canada Ragdolls is a moneymaking business by a meanspirited woman in Kitchener, Ontario. Most disrespectful woman towards potential clients. The reviews saying she actually travelled to her clients are 100% fictional, false. She refused the adoption just because she didn't want to bother to move past her door, and was ugly about it on the phone. Refuses to allow clients indoors to see her breeding space. As others mentioned, also doesn't provide legally enforced rabies vaccines to her cats. What more information does someone need to turn away from this creep.

Five years ago, I decided that I wanted to adopt a Ragdoll and the search began. At the time, it was very hard to find a kitten and no one in our area (Ottawa, ON) had any available. After a lot of searching, I discovered Oh Canada Ragdolls and applied to adopt one of her kittens - a gorgeous little fellow that she had named Harry. I fell in love with him, was approved and we were all set. The best part is that she offered to drive all the way to Belleville to meet us so that we didn't have to go through Toronto - this is above and beyond all expectations! Harry is an absolute doll - we adore him and can't say enough good things about her and her kitties. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’m super surprised to see negative reviews. I have nothing but good things to say about her cattery, O Canada Ragdolls. In fact, all four, YES *four* of my cats are directly from her, & I will not go to anyone else for a Raggie. I’m also probably a Raggie mom for life now too!

I fell in love with the breed when I saw the late Anne Rice had three Ragdolls, herself. I did extensive research on the breed & catteries in Ontario, but waited almost 4 years before I was in a place to apply for adoption, & only did so when a kitten was available on the site & caught my eye. That was “Cinderella” or as she’s known now, Queen Ulalume!

She was super helpful & answered all my (many) questions, as well as gave me pointers for welcoming the new arrival, once I was approved and filled out her form. It actually makes me feel confident about her breeding practices. She wants the kitten(s) to go to a happy, healthy, loving home and Raggies are definitely unique when it comes to cats. She totally gets it. I feel this is what makes her a wonderful cattery.

Yes, her kittens are kept until AT LEAST 14 weeks of age due to needing to be socialized properly (3/4 of mine were 16 weeks). The longer with their siblings & mamma, the better, which even my vet agreed with. Due to this, all my cats are confident, spunky, and affectionate. Ulalume is a diva, Binks is the typical floppy cat & gentle giant, Edgar is a snuggle-bug, and new addition Beau is my best buddy already.

After I had Ulalume spayed, she mentioned about a friend for her, which my vet also recommended, as she was getting a bit play-aggressive (and was the only cat). So, we ended up getting Vincent (Binks). Not only was he microchipped, vaccinated (rabies included), and neutered, she went out of her way to deliver him to me! She then did the same with my third, Edgar.

Each of my kittens came with little kits that she lovingly put together, as well as their records. I did have them on her recommended diet, but she was totally supportive of my switching them to raw diet. She also was super helpful with treats & toys, keeping my clowder healthy & happy.

Honestly, I felt supported during the process. Yes, I will admit, she can be slow to respond to emails, but when she gets back to me, she’s super apologetic. Due to the times we’re in, it’s totally understandable.

Again, I can’t say enough how amazing her kittens really are. I wouldn’t give mine up for anything. They are legit perfect & make my world complete!

I simply emailed and just asked a few questions once about the ragdolls in question, she was off-put by me being a responsible person asking about the health of the cats, and she straight off refused me and said she feels I'm not a good fit. Based on no information about myself or my family. Do not get from here at all. No other breeder or even shelter/rescue/adoption centre has ever 'turned me away' because I am asking responsible questions. This points to something - there's something fishy.

We had an amazing experience with this breeder. We live an hour away, she met us half way to bring us the kitten we chose. I found the breeder very knowledgeable about cats in general, she was professional and genuinely a lovely woman. I would highly recommend this breeder.

Nearly two months ago I purchased two male kittens from this cattery. I cannot rave enough about the quality of these kittens. They are just adorable and beyond affectionate. I am a devoted ragdoll owner with as many as six ragdolls at one time, purchased from two separate catteries over the years. The quality of these kittens far exceeds any of my previous purchases. I highly recommend the person I dealt with  and RiteRags, if you wish to have a kitten that truly reflects the uniqueness this breed.

Hi, I just wanted to say that this breeder is very open and honest and helpful. I would highly recommend her to any one looking for a ragdoll kitten.

If you aren't sure, she will help you determine the best kitten for your family.

The person I dealt with provides information and is prompt at getting back to you.

I will always get my little kitties from O Canada Ragdolls.

We had an awful experience with the O'Canada Ragolls breeder in Kitchener, Ontario. She was non-communicative and deceptive as she kept us waiting for three months while the kitten grew up. Was ultimately told a number of lies where she eventually cancelled the adoption. No kitten but one heartbroken young child. I know we were not the first family to experience this unprofessional behaviour.

We got our second ragdoll here at RiverRags and couldn't be happier with her. She is everything the breed is supposed to be and more. We came from about 250 miles away and the breeder even met up with us, saving us about 1 hour in travel time. I highly recommend this cattery if you live in the Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan area!

Ragdolls are undeniably the best cats ever. Want a dog but don't have room? Get a Ragdoll. Want a floppy amusing kid friendly cat? Get a Ragdoll. Ragdolls are perfect for any age, they are fun and playful, yet gentle and caring. They are definitely people cats, they love people. They are also really docile, so if you get one MAKE SURE YOU KEEP IT INSIDE! I cannot stress this enough! If they get attacked, they WILL NOT fight back. I know this from experience. (RIP Jasper <3). My 2 knew Ragdoll babies are kept inside at all times. They are good by themselves, with other Ragdolls, and with other animals if socialised from a young age. Ragdolls are loyal and like to follow you around to keep you company, and they are smart! I taught my old Ragdoll to beg, fetch and jump up walls... :3 They are perfect cats, and I strongly recommend you getting one.
