Gladtidings Ragdolls - a dream come true

Welcome to Gladtidings Ragdolls. My name is Sarah Gladwin and I am a hobby breeder based in Walderslade Woods, Kent which is easily accessed by the M25, M2/A2 and M20 motorway networks. I have bred Ragdolls since 2002, obtaining my Prefix in January 2005 and breed colourpoint, mitted and bi-colour kittens in blue and seal. My Ragdolls are bred first and foremost in keeping with 'the look and type' that encapsulates the 'Traditional' Ragdoll that Ann Baker (the pioneer of the Ragdoll breed) was so passionate about.

Every endeavour is taken to ensure that the kittens I breed are strong, healthy, loving and well socialised. All my cats have undertaken DNA genetic testing to ensure they are free from the known HCM gene and PKD. They are regularly vaccinated, vet checked, wormed, preventative flea treated and provided with the best diet possible to ensure that they in turn produce healthy, strong kittens with a temperament second to none.

All my kittens are raised indoors as part of the family with an abundance of time, love and affection and therefore well socialised, well balanced and confident, ready for their new adventures. Kittens leave with Royal Canin kitten packs, diet and care sheet, 5 generation pedigree, vaccination card, thoroughly vet checked, 'white registration card', kitten sales agreement, toys, 4 weeks Pet Plan insurance, microchipping and a lifetime of aftercare support.

First and foremost, my cats are my well loved pets that provide a companionship and sense of equilibrium that is unrivalled.  They allow me to indulge my hobby of showing that allows me to showcase my beautiful companions and be an ambassador for the breed that I am so committed and passionate about.  Over the years, I have bred and shown two Grand Champions, many Champions and consequently my current girls and boys are derived from these show winning lines.  
 

Breeding Ragdolls is a passion that allows a dream to come true. From the planning of litters, conception, their safe arrival, weaning, litter training, socialising, to handing over a precious bundle to the new owner and the sheer look of delight on their faces as you do so, to owning such wonderful, stunning and affectionate cats, makes all the hard work worthwhile and turns the dream into a reality.
