Wanted to make a quick introduction - I found this forum while browsing the internet for information on Ragdolls and hope to become a part of this community. I currently live with a dog (German Shepherd) and a cat (long haired kitty), but have yet to own a Ragdoll, although I love the look and feel that their temperament suits my family's wants very well.
I had originally planned to adopt a young Ragdoll/Ragdoll mix, but that did not work out due to the issues with distance/transport. However, I am willing to wait and in no hurry, and will be continuing my search.
Welcome to the group!

Hi and welcome to the forum. I believe you'll find that ragdolls are an incredible breed. If you truly want a ragdoll and the ragdoll characteristics you read so much about, I urge you to find a reputable breeder. It's good that you're willing to take your time and look, and there are many on the forum (including some breeders) who will be happy to answer all the questions you may have on your search for the perfect Ragdoll for you.
A big thanks to everyone - I look forward to learning so much more on this forum.
Here is a picture of my 2 year old cat

He's gorgeous!! What a beautiful face and markings!
Thank you, she's really the princess of the house - a whole lot of spunk and love in that kitty! We all adore her and she's fully charmed even the people in the family who once "disliked" cats. Now THEY'RE the ones who brought up the idea of a second cat. Funny how that works, huh?

Welcome to the forum! You're cat is a darling

Welcome to the forum! I love the way your girl looks. What is her name?
Thank you!
Her name is Bree, but she likes to be called Princess Bree sometimes

A big welcome to the group. I love your kitty. I once had one who looked like that. I named her Mitty.
