About Us and our Ragdolls

Our Cozy home in the Spring



We're a small in-home registered Ragdoll Cattery established in 1998.  We're Native Houstonians and still live in the Houston/Galveston Bay area.  As conscious breeders, we work to improve the breed and breed towards the written CFA/TICA Ragdoll breed standard. 
We are a FeLv & FIV free cattery.  Our Ragdolls have been DNA/HCM tested for the Maine Coone & Ragdoll gene. (Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy)


Myself/Brenda have had cats for 40yr.s so birthing/raising kittens wasn't new but showing, breeding pedigreed cats and the genetics of all it was.  We're the type of people, if your going to do something, do it right.  Having such a wonderful husband, I'm able to stay home full time to give our Ragdolls and their kittens 24/7 TLC.  We're very selective on the Ragdolls we use for our breeding program and dedicated to breeding the healthiest, most beautiful, lovable/huggable Ragdolls


We have 6 or less litters a year which are spread out through the year so we're able to spend more time with each individual kitten.  These sweet and trusting kittens are raised in our bedroom, sharing our pillows, curling up in the covers and receiving lots of hugs, kisses and love 24/7. 
We breed the traditional colors of seal & blue and have a small red program.   Our Ragdolls are our pets and receive only the best of care.  They live in our home with us and our kittens are never caged.  Our females and alters have full roam of the house "except for" when the boys are out of their room in their stud pants.

Optimal health for our Ragdoll kittens & cats begin with a wholesome, natural and healthy diet. Human grade chicken, turkey, foods high in meat protein, vitamins, minerals, Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids and natural preservatives like vitamin E. This helps kittens develop strong immunity systems, gives the adult's a extra boost and easy for them to digest. My mother always told me "you are what you eat". We prefer foods that do not have ground yellow corn, corn/wheat gluten meal and meat by-products. Cats are obligate carnivores and have high requirements for meat not corn and/or corn/wheat gluten. Next time your in the store pick up a bag of cat food, look over the ingredients, to many brands are full of corn and by-products.
 We do not feel our Ragdoll kittens & cats get everything they need from one food plus not everyone is going to like the same thing. 

Here at Catbird & Co. we show our Ragdoll cats and kittens regularly at local and national cat shows. They are handled and judged by professional cat judges. This helps us acknowledge and maintain the quality that as breeders we are known for and will continue to be.  It also insures that we offer to you that Ragdoll kitten that meets the beauty and elegance, along with the wonderful personality you want from a Ragdoll. I do not like going off to cat shows when I have kittens though. 

We are members of and all of our cats are registered with The International Cat Assoc. (TICA) and
 The Cat Fanciers' Assoc. (CFA).
