Our Mission and Goal:
Our Mission is to raise high quality RagaMuffins
with lovable personalities.
Our Goal is for our RagaMuffins to enrich the lives of others, just as they have ours, and for them to become cherished members of their new families for life.
Registration:
Our cattery, as well as our cats and litters, are registered with CFA and ACFA. ACFA registration is prepaid by GW Muffins.
Microchip by HomeAgain:
Each kitten can be microchipped before leaving the cattery using the HomeAgain microchips and service .
GW Muffins will covered the cost of the microchipping and the activation fee.
Each new owner is encouraged to contact HomeAgain to transfer membership to their name as soon as they get their new kitten/cat home.
The annual membership fee is only $14.99 and covers these valuable services:
> a nation-wide proactive pet recovery network, lost pet alerts that go out to vets and shelters,
> personalized "Lost Pet" posters that can be printed off on a home computer to distribute in the neighborhood,
> 24/7 emergency medical advice with poison control information as close as your phone, and pet ID cards that are great for boarding and travel.
> If the kitten/cat is reported lost and then found injured or in need of vet care, HomeAgain will pay up to $3,000 for vet services.
There is a $50 deductible and the pet must be reported lost in order to get this benefit.
Using any one of these services, just once, pays for the service.
GW Muffins will remain in the HomeAgain system for recovery purposes until the new owner transfers membership to their name.
Food Recommendation:
We recommend feeding your animals Flint River Ranch.This oven baked food is highly digestible and only USDA grade ingredients are used. There are no chemical preservatives or animal by products added.
Spay/Neuter:
It is required that our Ragamuffins are spayed or neutered between the ages of 6 months and one (1) year. Upon proof of alteration, the ACFA registration papers will be mailed to the new owners.
If requested, alteration can be arranged prior to the cats leaving the cattery.
Declawing:
No cats adopted from this cattery will be declawed nor will we allow kittens to be adopted into a home that wish to declaw.
Our kittens are introduced to Natural Scratch Scratching Posts as well as sisal and carpeted cat furniture from the age of 4 weeks. So by the time they are adopted, they will want to use these alternatives to scratching your furniture and walls.
Our Muffins love the Natural Scratch Scratching Posts!

Information about Adopting a RagaMuffin:
ACFA Statement about RagaMuffins:
From the tip of their nose to the end of their tail, the RagaMuffin embodies the perfect feline companion. A RagaMuffin is a feast for the eyes but the most important part of the breed is an experience of the heart. With one look into their large expressive eyes and sweet cherubic face, the RagaMuffin will steal your heart. Just like the best things in life … one is never enough!
RagaMuffins grow to be one of the largest cats in the cat fancy with an easy-to-care-for medium-to-medium long, full coat that resists matting. It has a soft rabbit-like texture. The fur tends to grow straight out from the body, enabling you to rub against the grain, which they love for you to do. RagaMuffins can be found in nearly every color of the kitty rainbow both with and without white and in every conceivable pattern. They view the world through eyes of nearly every color and hue; from the deepest copper to the awesome aqua of the mink.
They enjoy having their tummies rubbed and will often lay on their backs in invitation. These huggable, lovable felines have the ability to go limp in your arms. Maturity is reached between four and five years of age and the RagaMuffin remains playful throughout their adult life.
The most captivating aspect of the RagaMuffin is their sweet, lovable personality. That personality is what makes the RagaMuffin so unique. They have the ability to win over any person when they turn on their charm. They are endearing animals that seek out love and attention. They make wonderful therapy cats as well as cherished family pets. They tend to bond with their owners quickly. Most of them will develop traits associated with puppies such as following their family around the house and waiting at the door to greet them. Ragamuffins are very intelligent, easily taught to walk on a leash and may be taught to do tricks such as fetching, rolling over, and sitting up to beg, etc. They get along well with children, dogs and other cats.
...and the boxes are fun to play in!!!
