5Starrags

5Starrags, breeder of Ragdoll cats in Hollister, CA, is based in Northern California near San Jose.

With membership in the Cat Fanciers’ Association, 5Starrags follows strict health protocols and screens breeding cats for common genetic issues such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and polycystic kidney disease. The breeding program follows standards set by regional Ragdoll clubs to maintain type consistency and temperament. Under the care of owner Karen Walsh, each cat is part of the family and receives individual attention from kittenhood. Kittens are raised in a family setting, where daily socialization with adults and children helps develop their gentle disposition. Their living areas include climate-controlled rooms and interactive play spaces that support both physical activity and mental stimulation.

Supervised outdoor time in a secure catio encourages curiosity and environmental enrichment. Owners appreciate the transparent communication and detailed care guides that come with every kitten.
