IMPORTANT!
Due to circumstances beyond our control, alot of our cats have been affected by a Salmonella strain of poisoning (the same as human food poisoning) through giving affected raw meat from our previous Pet meat Supplier. The salmonella has been confirmed through our Vet's pathology lab and all cats affected are being treated as directed and deemed appropriate by our Vet's surgery.
Due to this incident we are currently reviewing what we feed our cats and are looking into feeding a completely raw food diet, as a cat's natural diet would be. We will not be stopping feeding raw meat etc as it is in the cats' best interests and health to continue with raw meat, but we WILL only be purchasing from human grade butchers to ensure we minimise the risk of something like this occurring again.
If you are interested in pursuing a raw food diet for your cat, we recommend you look at the website -

Below is a short-list of what we have available -

-----------------------------------------------------------
Princess has been visiting with our new Seal Bi-colour carrying chocolate boy, Roane.
Princess gave birth to SIX healthy kittens on Sunday the 19th of October! We are pretty sure we have 4 boys and 2 girls. Pics below were taken are at a few days old, 2 weeks old and 6wks old.
Sadly at 3weeks of age, the smallest of the boys, one of the Seal Bi-colours, lost his fight. Even tho we fought along with him and where giving him supportive therapy to give him every chance, he just wasnt strong enough for this world. This is one of the hardest things we have to deal with as a Breeder and we weep for every baby that doesnt make it.
This will be Princess' last litter before being desexed and retired from our breeding program.
Please enquire if you are interested in giving our Princess a new bed to lie on!!
Colours and patterns are below the older pictures below.
The Studly Boys - and the Gorgeous Girls -
The kittens pictured below at 6wks of age do have at the time of taking the pics, what is commonly known as 'weaning diarrhea' which accounts for their scruffy appearance. This can occur as their system adjusts to eating solid food from only having Mum's milk. As we do not take ANY chances with our babies, they are under veterinary care and we are following their recommendations. Our experience with this has been that this is a condition that is transient and totally treatable. Once again we assure people that NO cat leaves here until we and the Vet are happy it is totally healthy and ready for their new homes.
**UPDATE 20/12/08**
After a long wait on test results, our Vet has finally received results for what has been ailing these babies.
They have salmonella poisoning, (food poisoning in humans) most likely caused by some bad meat. We are in the process of changing our raw meat supplier and the babies have improved alot already! Due to their illness tho, they will not be desexed until later than planned (15th Jan '09) and will not be available until after they have recovered from this op.
New pics of every kitten at 9 & 12wks of age are below and show the marked improvement they have made! We are looking forward to their continued improvement now they are on the correct antibiotics for this illness.
**UPDATE 03/01/09**
The kittens are going from strength to strength and looking sooo well! We are all happy with them, although the 2 smallest girls may not be available to leave us until early Feb just to ensure their body-weight is where it should be.
**UPDATE 17/01/09**
Again, we are overjoyed that these kittens are going from strength to strength. They were taken to the Vet this past week and vaccinated, microchipped & desexed as well as given a wonderful health clearance! Mum is still suffering from the effects of the Salmonella poisoning tho, and is still receiving care and attention from us & our Vet.
Please feel free to ask any questions about any of our cats.

Missy's Litter-26th February '09 *ALL SOLD*
(Ready to leave approx the 21st May 2009)
Missy and Roane's union has also been an anticipated event with us here due to some interesting lines in behind them both. Missy has given birth to 6 gorgeous healthy babies, all weighing 100-115grms each! I have had a quick look at sexes and believe we have 4 girls and 2 boys.
We are hoping to keep a nice girl from this union.
**UPDATE 22nd March** - We sadly lost one of the little girls in Missy's litter soon after birth, and we are concerned over the future of the smallest girl, and will not be taking a deposit on her until she is older and more established. The other kittens are doing very well and are showing interest in food already!
We also believe we have the colours correct on the kittens below, tho the Point/Bi-colour appearance may take us a little longer to be completly sure on. We have listed below what we beleive we have at this point.
**UPDATE 3rd May** - We have had alot of non-cat issues in the past few weeks that have taken our time, hence us not updating as quickly as usual. We also, sadly, lost the smallest of the girls from this litter, even tho we were suppliment feeding and doing all we could to support her. Autopsy results are pending.
The 2 boys and 2 girls remaining are doing very well and are eating well on their own as well as off Mum.
Pics below are at 3, 8 & 12 weeks of age.

Georgi's Litter-27th January '09 *ALL SOLD*
(Ready to leave approx the 21st April 2009)
Georgi is a very special girl to our cattery's plans in introducing the Lilac and Chocolate genes into our breeding plans. All resulting babies are Chocolate and Lilac carriers as Georgi is a true Lilac Point.
The mating of Georgi and Connor was anticipated well before she arrived here to us on lease, via her Breeder and our friend, Liz from BeThinx Ragdolls in NSW. We were hoping for the melding of the best of two worlds, and we havent been dissapointed sofar! Georgi gave birth to 3 HUGE babies, 2 boys and a girl, all about 40 grams bigger than the average kitten at birth!! She is prooving to be an amazing Mum and has now taken on Dee Dee's remaining boy in with her 3 and has accepted him like he was hers.
We are keeping both of the Seal Mitteds from this litter, the boy will eventually take over his Fathers' Stud duties as our main Stud boy and the girl will be mated to our other Stud, Roane, once she is of age. Both will be extensively shown and are likely to be called 'Miss Piggy' and 'Kermit'. The Blue Point boy is looking like a 'Fozzy Bear' at this time!
**UPDATE 22nd March** - This gorgeous litter that holds alot of our hopes and dreams in it, did have a small set-back when Dee Dee's Seal Point boy was placed in it as he must have been carrying the salmonella issue. Luckily we and our vet jumped on it quickly and all appear to be well and recovered! The 2 Seal Mitts we are retaining for our breeding program are both regaining the weight they lost during this time.
**UPDATE 3rd May** - Very Very sad update for us. Something totally unexpected and shocking for us has happened with one of Georgi's boys. All in this litter are GREAT sizes and appeared as healthy as anything with no discernable health issues, hence our shock at the turn of events. We proudly exhibited this litter at the CAV April show on Sunday the 19th as we were still trying to make a final decision on which of the 2 boys to keep as a future Stud. That night after the show, we noticed that Fozzie Bear our Blue Point boy, was breathing faster than normal. We thought it was stress after the show. He had not changed by the morning, so we raced him to the Vet the next day. Sadly, the Vet visit was too much for him and he went into arrest soon after leaving the surgery. We raced him back to the Vet, who had to continue his journey to the Rainbow Bridge. The Vet did an immeadiate autopsy and it was discovered he had the rare heart condition Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) This is the total opposite of the heart issue that is well known in Ragdolls and there is no known dna test for it at this point.
Because of this problem, we decided to not keep either of the two remaining kittens for breeding, and have had their total check up to be cleared of any issues at this point, as well as desexing, they have been cleared to go to their new home together, soon.
RIP Furrballz Fozzie Bear, you are sadly missed!

Dee Dee's Litter-17th January '09 *ALL SOLD*
(Ready to leave approx the 11th April 2009)
Dee Dee and Roane have been a much anticipated union for us. Dee Dee is another cat that is affected by this awful salmonella poisoning from a bad batch of meat from our previous pet food supplier, and even tho she had 6 gorgeous babies, sadly one of them was found to also be affected with a cleft pallet. We are thinking this and Bella's one, could be affected by the salmonella itself, as neither of these girls have ever had this defect born from them before.
As this litter is so new (born today at the time of writing) we have not bothered Mum much to find out the sexes of the babies, and we anticipate both points and Bi-colours in Seal and Blue to become apparent in the next few weeks.
**UPDATE** 24th January - Not a happy update, sadly. Last week, Dee Dee sat on and smothered one of her boys overnight (sometimes Mums can do this) and then 2 days later we lost further 2 kittens unexpectedly for unknown causes. Autopsy was inconclusive.
The 2 remaining kittens of Dee Dees do appear to be thriving and we are keeping a very close eye on them, and we are re-assessing Dee Dees' future as a breeding girl.
**UPDATE** 22nd February - Another sad update. Dee Dee's remaining 2 babies were doing really well, and then it was noted during the normal weigh-in's that the girl was not increasing in weight as she should have been. We commenced suppliment feeding after consultation with our vets, but sadly, she wasnt to be. We are awaiting autopsy results on her. As Dee Dee was losing interest in raising just one baby, her remaining Seal Point boy that is doing very well is now integrated with Georgi's babies that are 10 days younger than him.
**UPDATE 22nd March** - This gorgeous boy did have a small set-back when placed into Georgi's litter as he must have been carrying the salmonella issue. Possibly what killed his unfortunate brothers and sisters. Luckily we and our vet jumped on it quickly and all appear to be well and recovered! This boy did lose some weight with his illness, but is quickly regaining the weight he lost during this time.

Bella's Litter-12th January '09 *1 Male Available*
(Ready to leave approx the 6th April 2009)
Roane has been a busy boy! Bella decided to grace us with 6 gorgeous babies on the Monday evening. Sadly, one of the babies was affected with a cleft pallet and was pts the next morning. Unfortunately as she also is a victim of the salmonella poisoning, the birth took alot out of her and we have been back and forth to the vets all week as well as giving her intensive nursing and care here. We are relieved to report that as of today (17th January) Bella is looking alot better. She is a wonderful & devoted Mother to her 5 remaining boys. Colours and Patterns of these kittens will become apparent over the next few weeks. Possible colours are Seal, Blue and Red in Point and Bi-colour.
Bella is still a little fragile and not looking her best due to the salmonella infection.
**UPDATE** 24th January - Bella is slowly making progress with her struggle against this awful salmonella issue. Sadly tho, her smallest boy in the litter wouldnt grow correctly, despite us suppliment feeding, and passed away this past week. The remaining 4 boys are thriving with their Mums' diligent attention.
**UPDATE** 22nd February - We now know that Bella's 4 boys are a Blue bi-colour and 3 Reds. We are still not completly sure as to their patterns being pointed or Bi-colour tho, as the Red colouring can take awhile to develop. It does appear that we are getting on top of the salmonella poisoning we have been battling thru some of our cats. The babies certainly dont appear to be affected like a previous litter we had.
**UPDATE** 22nd March - These boys continue to go from strength to strength and are very cheeky little monkeys! LOADS of fun to have around in the house!
Pics below were taken with the kittens at 4 days, 3.5 & 9 weeks of age.

Princess has been visiting with our new Seal Bi-colour carrying chocolate boy, Roane.
Princess gave birth to SIX healthy kittens on Sunday the 19th of October! We are pretty sure we have 4 boys and 2 girls. Pics below were taken are at a few days old, 2 weeks old and 6wks old.
Sadly at 3weeks of age, the smallest of the boys, one of the Seal Bi-colours, lost his fight. Even tho we fought along with him and where giving him supportive therapy to give him every chance, he just wasnt strong enough for this world. This is one of the hardest things we have to deal with as a Breeder and we weep for every baby that doesnt make it.
This will be Princess' last litter before being desexed and retired from our breeding program.
Please enquire if you are interested in giving our Princess a new bed to lie on!!
Colours and patterns are below the older pictures below.
The Studly Boys - and the Gorgeous Girls -
The kittens pictured below at 6wks of age do have at the time of taking the pics, what is commonly known as 'weaning diarrhea' which accounts for their scruffy appearance. This can occur as their system adjusts to eating solid food from only having Mum's milk. As we do not take ANY chances with our babies, they are under veterinary care and we are following their recommendations. Our experience with this has been that this is a condition that is transient and totally treatable. Once again we assure people that NO cat leaves here until we and the Vet are happy it is totally healthy and ready for their new homes.
**UPDATE 20/12/08**
After a long wait on test results, our Vet has finally received results for what has been ailing these babies.
They have salmonella poisoning, (food poisoning in humans) most likely caused by some bad meat. We are in the process of changing our raw meat supplier and the babies have improved alot already! Due to their illness tho, they will not be desexed until later than planned (15th Jan '09) and will not be available until after they have recovered from this op.
New pics of every kitten at 9 & 12wks of age are below and show the marked improvement they have made! We are looking forward to their continued improvement now they are on the correct antibiotics for this illness.
**UPDATE 03/01/09**
The kittens are going from strength to strength and looking sooo well! We are all happy with them, although the 2 smallest girls may not be available to leave us until early Feb just to ensure their body-weight is where it should be.
**UPDATE 17/01/09**
Again, we are overjoyed that these kittens are going from strength to strength. They were taken to the Vet this past week and vaccinated, microchipped & desexed as well as given a wonderful health clearance! Mum is still suffering from the effects of the Salmonella poisoning tho, and is still receiving care and attention from us & our Vet.
Please feel free to ask any questions about any of our cats.

Buying a kitten/cat from Furrballz Ragdolls...
All our Kittens sold as a pet or as a pet/show cat, are desexed and vaccinated before leaving our home, to give YOU, the pet owner the best adjusted kitten possible, with the easiest transition from our home, to yours.
We also include a kitten food pack and information kit with every kitten/cat bought thru us and a lifetime gaurantee that we are interested in the kittens growth and progress. If you have ANY problem after taking your kitten home, WE want to know of it. After all...we may have the solution you are looking for!
We prefer our kitten buyers to be as informed as they can be, so we encourage any and all questions from you. We believe that YOU need to be as comfortable with US as we need to be with YOU!
Unlike the dog world, cats can be shown as neuters (desexed) and they are eligable for all prizes any other cat in the show is. If you are interested in possibly showing your new addition, please discuss this possibility with us before falling in love with a particular kitten, as we will want to guide you in choosing the best possible kitten for the show ring. We take care to do all we can in helping out new people to the hobby of showing cats, and we will not knowingly sell you anything that we would not be happy to place on the show bench ourselves.
If after purchasing a kitten/cat from us, you find yourselves in a position of being unable to continue with caring for the cat/kitten, please contact us IMMEADIATELY so we can either take the cat back, or help in the re-homing of the cat, REGARDLESS of the cats age.
As far as we are concerned, when you purchase a cat from us, this does not stop our responsibility for its lifetime happiness and we are always interested in hearing from our furry friends 'parents'.
Pets are for life...not just for a present, Christmas or while they are 'cute'!
