I am the breeder Jenny reached out to. I live in Slovakia and breed ragdolls. I also have not heard of any ragdoll breeders in Cyprus, so it seems that if you want a ragdoll, you might have to import it. Are you interested in a pet kitten (the baby is not for future breeding and comes already neutered) or do you want to start breeding ragdolls (in that case, I recommend some reading about this). I flew to Larnaka last summer and spent time in Paphos and Nicosia and we have a straight flight connection there. In case you plan to import a kitten of any breed, I truly recommend flying with the kitten on board (as a carry-on luggage). It is less stressful for the kitten as it can be with you and you can calm it down if neccessary and it is also lot cheaper than having kitten shipped to you as cargo. A pet boy from my breeding lives in Denmark and his owner and he flew to Denmark from Vienna, the kitten´s ticket cost 25€ (but it can be obviously more with different flight carriers). The boy did very well, he was calm and quiet and slept the whole way but he meowed a bit during the take off and landing. The pet boy, Aaron, travelles a lot between Germany and Denamrk and also Slovakia and he is completely ok with it but he is very fixed on his owner. I hope this helps you a bit, if you have time ,feel free to check our web page www.lambrusca.sk (the english version on the left side of the menu) or on FB https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lambrusca-Ragdolls/181237935231364 Have a nice day at Maria in Cyprus

You might ask on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/floppycats" rel="nofollow">Facebook page</a>. I've also reached out to one of them to see if they could ship to you.

Do you have any suggestions on how I could adopt a kitten or where to look for one? Do you know anyone who is willing to send me a kitten via animal transport who trustworthy? Thank you very much Hi there,

I would be very interested to hear other people's experience at this place. When I went, the house reeked of cat urine the moment you walk in the door. The cats were all in cages-supposedly they like being in there but it reminded me of an animal shelter. The room the cats were kept in also contained a few large dogs who were also in cages, and barking very loudly. It was a very stressful environment. Dawn also informed me that she gives her cats Basic H, which is a HOUSEHOLD CLEANER!! Apparently that is her method for making sure the cats don't get worms. I was appalled. She has beautiful looking cats, but it was not a place I felt comfortable buying a kitten from. I have visited Dawn King’s “cattery”.

I have not updated this page and I need to because of this. Good on you for mentioning it - as I get it now. I also understand that breeders operate out of their homes and their homes aren't petting zoos and a lot of people use them as such. So I fully understand the importance of not allowing visitors - but to see the kittens when they are ready to adopt! Thanks again for the comment! Jenny Vicki,

Alot of breeder do not allow visitor to the cattery because of potential disease. They have kittens that may not have had their shots and with animal diseases you can carry on the bottom of your shoes. They probably are allowing in their home because they will bring the kittens that are ready for adoption over (and they are old enough to already have had their shots) I am with you I want to see where my kitty comes from and such however as a former breeder I also want to protect the young ones.

Kittens will be born probably late August, so they may be close to Christmas. If "Leah" didn't breed on June 26th, she will breed her in July and she would be due around August 28th and my anniversary and birthday are August 19th and August 24th. I am in no rush, so whenever they get here, I'll have a beautiful kitty. I think I have a name all picked out because I would like a male his name will be "Sir Lancelot of Kings Court." If it is a girl, it will be, hmm, can't name a kitty "Gweneviere" cause I can't even spell it. Have to think on that one. I will definitely let you know when I get one. I will certainly due that.

That is wonderful that she offered to help you find another kitten if you don't buy a cat from her! Sounds like a winner - please report back and let me know how it went and more importantly, if you adopted a kitty!! I have heard of Dawn King.
