  My
name is Kirsty and I am the owner of Eden-Lea Ragdoll Cats,
which is in Nerang/Mt Nathan on the Gold Coast, about an hour's drive
from Brisbane, Australia. Please note that Eden-Lea is not a commercial
cattery, our kittens are raised inside our home in amongst our
life, with much love and care.
A
cat lover all my life, I had wanted a Ragdoll cat since I
first saw them on TV in the early nineties. I love
everything about them, from their beautiful range of
patterns and colours, to their wonderful nature and to their
extreme playfulness. And now I am a registered Ragdoll
breeder - dreams do come true!
Our
Ragdolls keep us in stitches a lot of the time - especially
when they all get the "zoomies" at the same time!
Even the "grown-ups" act like crazy 3 month old
kittens. I really enjoy the way they want to be wherever I
am, although not "in my face". They curl up beside
me on the couch, lay on my desk as I work on the computer
(keeping an eye on the cursor on the screen), just following
me around and sleeping at my feet. In
the words of my son, Ragdolls are the "VERY BESTEST
CAT IN THE WORLD!" We love them and spoil them to
bits.
  I
maintain the health of my Ragdolls as holistically as
possible. My cats are fed mostly on a raw food diet - as
close to natural as I can get. And for any health issues I
turn first to natural methods: food supplements and
homeopathy, which keep my animals in wonderful good health.

Health page.
I breed
mostly smaller Ragdolls.....
But - why breed small Ragdolls when they are supposed to be
one of the largest breeds of cat? Well, it first started with
me having great difficulty in obtaining cats to breed from
that were of the large size Ragdolls are supposed to be. I was
continually surprised, disappointed and very frustrated when
most of my newly purchased breeding cats arrived here - at
just how small they were. Lots of money was wasted buying
"show quality" kittens which I ended up de-sexing
prior to breeding as they matured just too small. So in the
end, I thought that there must be a reason I personally simply
couldn't get big cats and I just decided to go with what the
Universe was sending me - who am I to argue?
Eden-Lea is proudly breeding from only 100% Pure Traditional Ragdoll
bloodlines - there are no outcrosses to other breeds and/or
domestics in our cats' pedigrees.

who said Ragdolls have no prey drive???
