Adoptions

When you adopted a kitten/cat from Sweetheaven Ragdolls, you become part of our family. We love to see up date pictures of our babies. We love to hear how they are developing. . We love to keep in touch and be your friend and answer any questions you may have to help our babies and your family live happily together.
It is important to us that you are happy with your new addition to your family. Our babies are very special to us. We raised them underfoot as part of our household.
By the time they leave our home they are confident, well socialized and used to dogs.
Kittens leave our home between 12-16 weeks old. Some kittens are slow developers and we prefer to keep them a litter longer. Fancier Breeder Referral list- How Young Is Too Young - http://www.breedlist.com/faq/young.html. Please read our testimonials page and read why Sweetheaven Ragdolls kitties are so special. 

Our kittens are spayed and neutered before they leave our home. We find this to be easier and less stressful on the kitten when they can go back to their mother and siblings. The recovering time is quicker at this age. Please read Winn Feline Foundation-Early Age Altering -http://www.winnfelinehealth.org/Pages/Early_Age_Altering_Web.Pdf. Our Retired Breeder cats will also be altered before leaving our home. We allow them to leave 4 weeks after they have been altered as it takes them longer to heal. The Males are still fertile 4 weeks after they are neutered. Older Females do have a harder time when they get spayed.

We have a NO DECLAW Policy. Onyechomy is the surgical term for declawing. Declawing is a very painful procedure when the toes are amputated to the first joint of their claws. It is cruel and inhumane. Many cats that have their claws removed do not heal properly and have a lifetime infection or tenderness. It can create other bad habits, as their feet no longer feel natural to them. SAVE A PAW DON’T DECLAW
Another good article is www.declawing.com.. We trained our kittens at a young age to use the scratching post. I will be happy to show you how to trim your kitten/cat’s nails when you pick them up.

When you adopt a kitten from Sweetheaven Ragdolls we pride ourselves in guaranteeing that you will get a healthy kitten.
You will receive:
2 years health guarantee against congenital and genetic defects.
2 sets of vaccinations (Killed vaccine only)-Feline Vaccines-http://www.avma.org/vafstf/rbbroch.asp
2 worming
Registration paper (Blue slip)
Pedigree
All health records
A list of toxic plants is printed and put in your folder-http://www.theanimalrescue.com/toxic.html
Health check by a certified veterinarian
A take home package with sample of dry food your kitten is eating,
Coupons, toys, can food and lots of extra goodies.

Not everyone can afford to buy 2 kittens at the same time but we do give a $100.00 discount when you buy two (2) kittens at the same time. We also encourage dual purchasing as it is less stressful when they leave with one of their siblings or playmates. Kittens learn their socialization  skills from their sibling. Please read article from CHICAGO NEWS. http://www.pawschicago.org/PetCare/catsinpairs.htm

We prefer not to ship as we enjoy and like to meet everyone. We feel it is best to visit the site, the breeder and the new kitty.
We also know sometimes this is not possible so we are currently working on Pet Friendly Transportation. We do not ship cargo but only in the cabin as a carry on.

OUR BREEDER CATS are tested for FELV and FIV. We ensure they have both of their kidneys before they are used in our breeding program. They are DNA HCM tested for the Ragdoll and Maine Coon Mutation Gene. We have them scanned by a Board Certified Radiologist to ensure the heart; liver and kidneys are free of diseases. We hold an HCM scan clinic in our home to encourage other breeders to scan their breeder cats.

Sweetheaven Ragdolls breed traditional colors of seals and blues.
We had added to our program torties, reds and creams.
We specialized in red and cream. Our red and cream are tested by an Ophthalmologist to insure their eyes are healthy. Stromal iris hypoplasia is due to light coat color and we want to insure our cats have normal PLRs and normal internal eye structures.
We will soon be adding chocolates and lilac to our program.
Patterns: We breed Bi colors, mitted, colorpoints, and lynx.

Sweetheaven Ragdolls believe in promoting this breed. We only breed a few litters a year. We breed for health, type, and good temperament kitties. We breed according to the breeding standards. We are on the Breeding Standards Discussion Group and this keeps us up to date on different changes in the breeding standards.We enjoy showing our kitties and have done so for several years. This allows us to hear and see what the Judges find agreeable in our kitties in regards to the standards of the Ragdoll Breed.
Sweetheaven works very closely with several Professionals to bring only the best to your home.
I have my Veterinarian Assistance Certificate and currently working toward my RVT.

Below is a list of highly respectable Professionials that we have worked closely with to guide us in breeding the healthiest kittens/cats. They are available if we should ever need them for questioning and /or their service.
