What is so special about the Ragdoll breed?
Any Ragdoll owner will tell you that they are the most loving, affectionate and docile cat they have seen. Bred to be "lap kitties," Ragdolls are not equipped for life outdoors (so NEVER let your Ragdoll outdoors... it will not be safe!). They are fantastic family pets and respond extremely well to children. They love company, and will follow you around the house and greet you at the door. Called Ragdolls because of their floppy nature, they are patient and loving cats that make wonderful family members.
What colors/patterns can I choose from?
Ragdolls are blue-eyed, pointed cats which come in several colors and patterns. If the kitty you are looking at does not have blue eyes and does not have darker coloring at the tips of its body (points), it is not a purebred ragdoll. A great reference for what color or pattern you might prefer is found at the ragdoll international website. Please click on the link below to look:

How much is a Ragdoll kitten?
We price our Ragdolls competitively. Our pets are a set price of $750.00. This price includes alter (spay/neuter), 2 sets of vaccinations, and vet check. If you are interested in purchasing a breeder or show kitten, please contact us for pricing (N.B. We only offer breeders to small, registered, ethical, cageless catteries!!!).
Do you have any conditions for purchase?
Please be aware that to get a Crabapple kitty you must agree that your kitty will be an indoor cat exclusively and that you will not declaw (there are other solutions, and declawing is cruel and debilitating).
Where do you have your Ragdoll pictures taken/who takes your website pictures?
All of our pictures are taken in our home. I (Ellen) personally take all of our Ragdoll photos. My portfolio of Ragdolls (and people, too!) can be found at www.crabapplefamilyphotography.com.
