Welcome to August Ragdolls

Ragdoll Kittens in Kansas, Missouri, and Across the U.S.

Our breeding program is built around the complete Ragdoll—beautiful breed type, excellent structure, wonderful temperament, and carefully considered health. We want our kittens to be unmistakably Ragdoll in both appearance and personality.

Showing our cats in CFA and TICA is an important part of that commitment. It gives us the opportunity to have our cats evaluated against the breed standard while continually learning, improving, and making thoughtful decisions for future generations.

Whether a kitten eventually joins a family as a beloved companion or represents August Ragdolls in the show hall, our goal is the same: a healthy, confident, affectionate Ragdoll that we are proud to have raised.

About Us — Where Our Ragdoll Story Began

Our love of showing animals began long before August Ragdolls. Buffy grew up showing Arabian horses and then moved into showing Golden Retrievers and a Silky Terrier. But in 2013, our lives took a new direction when we entered the cat fancy and began showing and raising Ragdolls.

Our children were still young then, and Ragdolls quickly became part of their childhood. They grew up with kittens in the house, helping socialize them, loving on them, and watching them grow. Some of Buffy’s favorite memories from those years are simply seeing the kids surrounded by kittens. Ragdolls became much more than cats we bred and showed—they became part of our family’s story.

They also played an important role during one of the most difficult transitions in Buffy’s life. Raising Ragdolls gave her a source of independence that helped her rebuild her life and begin again. Eventually, life took our family in a different direction and we stepped away from breeding, but the love for Ragdolls—and everything they represented—never really disappeared.

Years later, Buffy returned to the cat fancy with Maine Coons, a breed that had fascinated her since her earlier days showing Ragdolls. She loved being back in the show halls and raising kittens again, but something kept pulling her back to where it had all started.

Ragdolls.

There were simply too many wonderful memories tied to this breed. The kittens, the shows, the years when the kids were little, and the role these cats had played in our family’s life made Buffy realize that Ragdolls would always hold a very special place in her heart.

And so, August Ragdolls was born again.

Today, we are incredibly fortunate to raise and show both Ragdolls and Maine Coons. But Ragdolls will always be the breed that started our journey in the cat fancy.

We actively participate in both CFA and TICA cat shows, where showing allows us to continually evaluate our breeding program, learn from experienced judges and breeders, and work toward preserving the qualities that made us fall in love with Ragdolls in the first place—their beauty, structure, unmistakable blue eyes, and most importantly, their wonderfully affectionate personalities.

Our cats are family first, just as they were when our children were young. More than a decade later, that hasn’t changed.

Health & Breeding Philosophy

The health of our cats and kittens is one of the highest priorities in our breeding program. Every pairing begins with careful consideration of health, temperament, structure, pedigree, and genetic diversity. Our goal is not simply to produce beautiful Ragdolls, but to make thoughtful breeding decisions that support the health and quality of future generations.

Our breeding cats undergo comprehensive health screening before being included in our program. This includes DNA testing for known hereditary conditions within the breed as well as cardiac screening. We also carefully research pedigrees and family history when planning each pairing because we believe responsible breeding goes far beyond the results of a single DNA test.

Health is only one part of producing a wonderful Ragdoll. Temperament and structure are equally important to us. Our involvement in CFA and TICA allows our cats to be evaluated by experienced judges against the Ragdoll breed standard and gives us valuable information to consider when making future breeding decisions.

Once kittens arrive, our focus shifts to giving them the strongest possible start. They are raised in our home with extensive handling, grooming, household activity, and individual attention from birth. Our goal is to send home healthy, confident, affectionate kittens that have been thoughtfully bred and lovingly raised.

For us, responsible breeding begins long before a litter is born and continues long after our kittens leave our home.

Our Ragdolls proudly compete in both CFA and TICA cat shows throughout the Midwest and across the United States. Showing helps us evaluate our breeding program against the breed standard while promoting healthy, well-structured Ragdolls with exceptional temperaments.
