Belle Ami Bengals & Ragdolls
Belle Ami operates out of New Orleans, Louisiana, where Melissa Detore runs a small home-based cattery focused on ragdoll kittens alongside a longer-standing bengal program. The ragdoll side of the operation is intentionally compact, with just two queens, and is co-bred with her sister Jennifer, who runs a separate ragdoll program nearby.
Breeding cats since 2008, the program carries TICA registration, and health testing for the ragdoll breeding cats covers HCM screening by a licensed cardiologist along with DNA testing for feline leukemia, FIV, PK deficiency, PRA, and an expanded panel of 50 additional genetic markers. Kittens are raised inside the family home alongside children, and the program's emphasis on in-home socialization shapes how kittens are prepared for their new families.
The litters tend toward blue bicolor and blue lynx bicolor colorings, and Melissa participates in TICA cat shows with both the ragdoll and bengal cats. Families across Louisiana and beyond look to Belle Ami for ragdoll kittens for sale in Louisiana, and the cattery offers lifetime breeder support after placement.
