New Ragdoll Kittens
Floppycats.com, is getting two new Ragdoll kittens from Soulmate Ragdolls in Salisbury, NC.
When Jenny’s 19-year old Ragdoll, Rags, died on March 30, 2009 after a long battle from renal failure, she was on the look out for relatives of Rags’ father, Ragnarok’s Thor. Through a great pedigree website, www.pawpeds.com, she found his relatives.
Soulmate Ragdolls has two cats related to Rags. Soulmate’s Truly and Tango.

Truly is the mother to Trigg (pictured below)
Soulmate Ragdolls’ Tango
Tango is the father to Trigg (pictured below).
So Jenny started to watch Soulmate Ragdolls website for kittens. She found, Casey (named by Soulmate Ragdolls), and then saw that Rags’ sister (distantly related) had had kittens as well. So, she decided to adopt Casey (who she’d name, Charlie) because she has always wanted a Seal Mitted Ragdoll with a Blaze. She thought about it for a few weeks and couldn’t get little Charlie out of her head. Additionally, she always wanted two kittens and wanted at least one of them related to Rags. So the other kitten is a blue lynx mitted Ragdoll. Jenny has yet to figure out a Ragdoll cat name for him and isn’t convinced about what name Charlie will have. She will have to meet them first before she can consider names for Ragdolls.
Charlie, born July 23, 2009

Jenny asked the following questions of Lora Tesh, owner of Soulmate Ragdolls in preparation for the new Ragdoll kittens arrival. Her responses are listed:
- What food do you feed them? Iam’s
- What sort of litter do you use? Wood pellets first and then Tidy Cat Scoopable
- Have you tested your cats for HCM? Yes
- What is your health guarantee? Immediate health —one week, Genetic health—2 years
- Do you raise your kitties underfoot? I never cage….and we have a nursery for each set of kittens and their moms. They are running underfoot in the nurseries, And we also bring a litter at a time and love them on the bed at nights when we are watching TV. We don’t let different litters mingle however because that is not a smart health move. If one kitten got sick in a litter …they could pass it to other babies in other litters if we had them all together. So each litter has their own room
Casey will be ready to go to Jenny’s home on October 15, whereas the other little blue lynx mitted Ragdoll will be ready on November 11. Jenny hasn’t decided if she will go to North Carolina to pick them up or one up and have the other one shipped. She would like to pick them both up, but isn’t sure if that is cost effective at this point.

Jenny will be tracking the new Ragdoll kittens growth and development, posting photos of her trip to get at least one of them and will certainly take videos of the new Ragdoll kittens when they are finally home. In fact, you can see Charlie at home in Kansas City. She will also include information on how she plans on introducing Caymus and Murphy to them.

Hi, I’m Jenny Dean, creator of Floppycats! Ever since my Aunt got the first Ragdoll cat in our family, I have loved the breed. Inspired by my childhood Ragdoll cat, Rags, I created Floppycats to connect, share and inspire other Ragdoll cat lovers around the world,
I will be getting my baby, Grady, in a couple weeks. He is a seal point, mitted with a blaze. His parents are Jessica and Prince. I chose Lora’s kitten because both of my nieces had Ragdolls from her and they were wonderful and lived well into their teens. Was thrilled to see that your babies also came from Lora.
Yes, they did – they are almost 13 now. My Charlie is a seal mitted with a blaze. Blazes can come in all different shapes and sizes.
Enjoy the waiting process! In the mean time, you can see how the seal mitted transition goes.
Such gorgeous cats, Charlie and Trigg.!! They sure look like they could have come from here. Lora certainly has my best bloodlines.

Hello, My ragdoll is a sibling to yours! He looks alot like his father Tyler but with gray paws. He is a blue-colorpoint. He came from Soulmates Ragdolls and his name is Calvin. He was born July 23, 2009 and is absolutely wonderful! He is a very gentle and loving guy and is great with my children. Calvin loves the sound of ice out of the ice machine and loves to watch the water run out of the faucet in the bath tub. He sits on the edge and smiles. He has jumped in a few times, so he definitely keeps his paws clean. LOL! Take Care.
This is sooo very exciting! So glad you found me and made contact. I cannot wait to see photos of Calvin! Love that name!
Hi! I was online and somehow came across this old post and had to reply 12 years later (almost 13)! Calvin is still just the sweetest boy. We have traveled all over from NC to FL to NE and GA and now back from where we are from-settled in NC. We our a military family and have always said Calvin is our military cat who has traveled the U.S. with us (and has traveled and adjusted quite well each time). He has been our family’s best companion through our travels and we our now retired back in NC, and Calvin is a retired military cat, too. LOL. He has seen our 3 children grow up and they him.
We now have one child in college (uprising junior) and we still find him meowing and looking for her bc he knows when one is not home. He gets extra excited when everyone is home gathered, too! He still has the spunky kitty energy at times, especially when he knows all the children are here. But loves following me and talks/meows about things a lot. (He talks a lot more in his older age). LOL. We love him truly. 🙂
