Riversiderags

Riversiderags ragdoll cats in Spokane, Washington, in eastern Washington. Melanie Carlson has been caring for ragdoll cats for more than ten years and undertakes comprehensive health testing for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, polycystic kidney disease, and other hereditary conditions.

The cats are raised indoors in a family setting where they receive consistent socialization, gentle handling, and age-appropriate play. Kittens receive early neurological stimulation and are introduced to basic grooming routines to ensure a calm disposition. Each kitten leaves with a health record and spay-neuter agreement overseen by a licensed veterinarian.

Breeding decisions emphasize temperament and lifelong companionship, with adults demonstrating the breed’s characteristic friendliness and laid-back nature. This approach has earned positive feedback for well-adjusted, affectionate ragdolls suited to various family environments. Owners receive detailed guidance on nutrition, grooming, and behavior support, and Riversiderags remains available for ongoing advice as cats mature.
