I am both honoured and humbled by so many of you sending me messages and making so many genuine comments.
I feel its sincerely necessary to publicly announce thoughts and reasons why.
Being an ethical breeder comes with enduring sacrifices and with all sacrifices comes determined dedication of labour of love, which then brings us to hearing so many story’s and reasons from family’s, of why they want a ragdoll.
I have been touched whole heartedly over the years hearing your story’s, and then to the day which meeting you, bringing you your kitten and making dreams comes true and further updates of how everyone is doing, growing and again how our sweet little Mt Cheamragdolls babys have touched many peoples lives.
COVID was hard for so many of us and our baby’s really fulfilled a void with true companionship, I been breeding for many years but this was a hard time for many of us for so many reasons, which we can all be so glad that this somewhat behind us now.
Again I am honoured and humbly tuched and making an announcement to close my cattery wasn’t an easy decision.
As many of you know in 2020 our family moved out of the city and took a leap of faith, leaving friends,family and security but choose to move to the rual mountains for tranquility and a better environment to raise my children and sustain life on a hobby farm acreage.
It truly is beautiful here in Clearwater BC and I could never go back to the hustle and bustle.
In 2021 I lost my mom suddenly to pancreatic cancer, and I have two brothers. One of which is special needs that needs high care, he resides with my step dad.
My step dad has recently been diagnosed with sever heart failure and very soon my husband and I will be taking on the daily care of my special needs brother, he is moving in with us indefinitely, asap so we are now a family of 6.
With this dynamic and life changes, I feel I won’t be able to dedicate more time to raise and care for my small cattery.
Believe you me, I have missed out on multiple weddings just staying with my queens to ensure everyone is safe, I have also missed out on many opportunities to have no vacation because my cats rule, and everything i can do or how long I can go away, dictates on the cats and what’s going on in my cattery, I can never
just pack a bag and leave on moments notice.
I have had so many wonderful years growing, learning and meeting new family’s, while touching lives but again I am think it will be quite challenging to continue with such a new life change.
From all your messages, texts and emails I am beyond blown away of how so many people will miss Mt Cheamragdolls, and how grateful people are to have a Mt Cheamragdolls baby in their life….so let’s take a vote..if many of you have read this far..im thinking I could possibly just downsize and try that for a while?
I am thinking I could keep Timber, as my king and 3 females..no more. Who do we want to stay?
This is so hard because I love them all but since Iv sent out this post and all the feedback I have been given, maybe I just stay a micro ragdoll breeder?
My thought to this are, it’s been such a passion to breed “Ragdolls” it’s apart of our family’s life and touching people lives, is why I do what I do…with the gift of a companion puppy cat..say no more..lol they are # 1 breed In the world for a reason❣️😻
