The RagaMuffin

Last Updated on July 11, 2008

                                  

 Thank you for visiting us here in the Nursery.... 

In this section you will find photos of kittens that have been born at Encore
over the past 15 years or so.   They have either been adopted as pets,
or chosen to carry on their wonderful genes by becoming breeders, either here or
with other RagaMuffin breeders.  We thought you would enjoy seeing some of the variety
of colors and patterns available in the RagaMuffin, so have left them here for you to enjoy.

Please click on the button above for "Available Kittens" to see which kittens are currently
accepting applications for adoption...

 

 

 

We're pleased to introduce you to these sweet little boy 'Muffins...

Godfrey, on the left is a cream point and white,

Tex, on the right is a brown tabby and white...

These brothers were born on January 18th, 2008

Our Chocolate Drops 

 

 
   

These darlings were born May 27th... the boys are red points and little Rosie is a seal tortie point. 
The boys are sweet and loving and petite little Rosie is packed full of personality!  Purrs that just won't stop!

 

 

 

 
 

Angelo was born on March 14th, 2007.  He's a darling brown tabby & white boy. 

Ziggy is a cream McTabby  &  White, born March 8th, 2007.  Ziggy is full of character!  
           
       
  Zoro is the fellow in the formal black and white tux, while his brother, Beaux is sporting his morning tux... a very beautiful blue and  white boy.  Zoro has made his new home in California with  Margaret and Earl Gray, his big brother form Claire's previous litter.  Beaux has made his home in the beautiful area of Charleston,, SC with Vicki and Jim.   

 

 

 

These beautiful natural mink McTabby brothers were born April 27, 2006, Gordon (left) and Austin (right).  They are gorgeous little boys with magnificent personalities...  Looking for just the right "match" to share their lives and love....

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

Bert is a beautiful red McTabby and white fella with a great big
purr! 

 

Barnaby Blu is another Encore Too baby.......sweet and loving as can be ..... brother to the breathtaking
Bert. 

 

 

                 

 

This is our beautiful Jude... growing up to be a big handsome boy... 
He is a cream point and so his coloring is very light, even now!  In just the right light you can see that Jude is going to be a bicolor...
with the inverted white V on his face.  He has the most incredibly blue eyes ...
you could get lost in them ... Jude was born last September (see his baby picture  below). 
We were considering Jude as a future Encore stud, but have decided that he would be happier as a treasured pet. 
Jude has been neutered and is looking for just the right purrrrson to shower his purrrs on
!

 

                         
                  Chablis and Charming Jenny traveled with Roxie to The Big Apple where they are now enjoying their first Winter with Lauren.....                          
                   

!

Macho Man has gone to South Florida to live with Baby.  Their new parents are Rebecca and Harry ....  Happier boys there have never been                    
                 

Dottie and Cookie have made their home with Katherine ... a lovely young lady, who has a soft spot for kitties!  "Her girls" are very spoiled and well loved.... <smile>

                         
                 

 

Our beautiful Rachel has joined the
feline family of Sue.  With two lovely kitties to keep her company, and Sue to spoil her, I'm sure
she's the happiest of kitties!

Mr. Bigglesworth, now known as
Sox, has joined a bustling, happy family of seven!

With his personality, I think he's in just the
"right" place!

JJ is going to live with Christine in Arizona
This beautiful girl will be a
RagaMuffin Mama in the future... :-)

   
   

 

 

Socrates, our special little red McTabby boy chose
 to become the cherished pet of the Guy Family ...
and especially that of the youngest sister....Kendall!
When Socrates and Kendall met, it was love at first sight ...

Our darling Chickabiddy will be going to Paris to live with Mr. Callahagn and Francis.  She's started her French lessons and hopefully will be able to greet her new friends with purrrs and a tiny bit of French! 

 

Calista will be flying out to Sacramento to become Jenny's
special treasure!

Henry now shares the home of Eileen in Ft.

Pierce.  She says he's the prettiest, happiest, smartest kitty

in the world...

Babette has joined Whiskers and Duchess in Omaha, NE.    (They are Athena babies who are now five years old.  Whiskers is the blue point bicolor in the basket further down the page....)  Mikayla and Garrett planned a HUGE birthday surprise for their mom, Kathy ... Babette!   She's already won over the hearts of all who have met her, even Roxy who delivered her to Omaha..  Babette had to spend the night in Phoenix with Roxy and Roxy called the next morning o tell me that Babette "didn't want to go to Omaha!"  LOL!

 
 

Kahlua has moved to Pennsylvania
to reside with Steve and Linda and
their critter clan....

Some day, I'll need to share with you the "Chronicles of Kahlua"  He's turned out to have quite an interesting little personality!

son of Electra....

He's full of fun and love!  Achy has gone to live a fantasy life with Betse in Las Vegas!

 

************

Then, we have another cute little Brown McTabby & White boy....Lotsa!
We started calling hi Lotsa because there were three brown tabby kittens in the litter and Lotsa
was the one with "lotsa" white on him.  He's a lovely boy with "lotsa"going for him!
His parents are Ultimate Rags Victoria and Big Bear Cats Zebedee.  Lotsa came into
the world on April 24, 2005.

     

*********

 

 

I'm pleased to introduce you to Poseidon, Apollo and Zeus....all of whom have now been adopted!

These three little tikes are full of love and of themselves... they are a constant delight!  Poseidon (far left)
is a blue point and white. He has lovely little white mitts and an ingratiating personality, always wanting your attention and yet, curious and playful.  Apollo, is also a blue point and white, but is what is called "high white"...he has markings on his face and tail and just a few spots on his body.  He is the heavy-weight of the group, built like a little tank!  He loves to roll around on the floor with an expression that says...."See how cute I am!!!" 
 Zeus is a blue mink.  When he is fully mature he will have stunning aqua eyes in that smokey-foggy
colored fur.  The effect is awesome!  And, his looks will be surpassed only by
his wonderful personality!  He's a loving, floppy little imp! 

**************

Encore Ragdolls!

Lindsey and Franklin have graced us with a precious little litter of Ragdolls!  This is the first
litter of Ragdolls born at Encore!  Previously, we raised IRCA Ragdolls under the direction of
Ann Baker, but these are from the group that broke away from Ann in the 1960's. 
So...without further ado....here are the Encore Ragdolls!

Carmichael, Blue Lynx Point Male

Clementine, Seal Lynx Point Female

 

Catherine, Seal Lynx Point Female

Melody, Blue Point Mitted Female  (Reserved)

These lovely babies were born on June 29, 2005, and are ready to give you their
unconditional love and loyalty in exchange for your commitment to treasure them throughout their lives. 
They are beautiful, sweet and a joy to behold!

*******

Our youngest babies are a darling litter of four little red or cream point boys from
Geneva and Franklin...Joseph, Jonah, Jeremiah and Jude...
They came into this world on September 21 and will be ready to venture into
the world about the middle of January...


 

These little fellas appear to be white, but they really are not.  They are either red points or cream points ...
 at this time, the color is to immature to say for sure which one they will be.  If you look carefully on Joseph's tail (lower left) you will see a little bit of color beginning to come in.  Their father, Franklin, is a mitted cat (little white feet) and so these kittens could have mitts...or not!  Their mother does not have mitts but has lovely cream socks on her feet. 
 

Joseph

Jeremiah

   

 

YOUNG ADULTS

 

 We have one young adult who is interviewing for just the "right" home.... 

 

Emmett 
Emmett was born on January 26, 2003....Super Bowl Sunday!!  He was infused with  a SUPER purrsonality!    If you want a companion that will keep you entertained from morning until night.... this is the little man to do it!

 

   

 

We're pleased to introduce the kittens from Rambling Rose and Zebedee....

her red McTabby and white brother with all the right "stuff"...
Both of these babies are available...

 

Victoria and Zebedee gave us three lovely tabby babies... two Macs and a Classic .
The Classic girl and one of the Mac boys have already been claimed...but there is one precious brown McTabby & white boy who is available...  We've just called him "Lotsa" 'cause he has lotsa white on him....
(See Section above for current photos of Lotsa)

 

UPDATE:  The kittens above have all been reserved.  The little brown tabby & white and the cream mink & white below are available .....

Sweet Violet's Babies

Truly a bouquet of color...these babies run the gamut! And, each one is equally stunning
The little calico girl is breathtaking... The red mink and white boy is just as cute as can be ...And, the champagne mink and white male is positively delicious!  The little champagne mink tortie & white has been spoken for (she's the one peeking out from behind the calico). 
The brown McTabby and white with a very prominent white tipped tail
is just as cute as cute can be!!!

Jenny's house is  known as Encore, Too!  She is my helper in raising these beautiful
babies....allowing us to have a few more litters a year, yet still give each one lots of TLC!

So, Violet and Victoria had kittens just a few days apart and have shared their offspring.  Prince Charmin is their dad, and was happy to get into the act, too.  He took his turn cleaning and cuddling, ever so gentle with his little babies!
It was really fun to see how they would "switch off" nursing duties to give one or the other a rest....

So, here are some of their babies!!!

Our Beautiful Brianna and Obadiah, had a beautiful litter last August 17th....All of their babies are now in their Forever Homes...but, I wanted to share a very special photo with you.  Anna sent this beautiful shot of Sandy and Alina not long before she left for New Orleans....

 

Dulce ..has made Colorado her home...and Alina is now a New Orleans belle!

 

Dulce is the baby on the left, while Alina is on the right....
Dulce and Alina were privileged to live with Anna and her beautiful Golden Retriever, Sandy....so, below are a few photos of the kittens with Sandy.....

 

 

                                                                                               

 

 

Sandy has been a wonderful baby-sitter for the kittens....

Anna is a lovely young lady who is aspiring to be a veterinarian and perhaps a RagaMuffin breeder!  Brianna went to live with her while she was pregnant and the kittens were born in her home.  She's learned a lot about taking care of kittens from this litter....experience that will help her down the road, both as a breeder and as a vet. 
Soon Anna will have a show kitten of her own and will be attending the ACFA shows.  We're looking forward to Anna being a part of the RagaMuffin Community for many, many years!

Tucker is a very loving little lad...he has the cutest little locket of white just under his neck.  Looks as if he's wearing a little white jewel!  At this moment, Tucker is not a huge boy....but, I'm sure he's taking after his dad, Little Sur, and will become a wonderful RagaMuffin fella!  What he lacks in size right now, he more than makes up with affection!

Trilby just loves everyone!  Is so curious and charming... She's going to be midnight black and will have beautiful green eyes when mature....

Now, little Maizey....she's a stocky little lady, a little comedy of a girl!  Torties are always "their own persons" and she's no exception!  Cute as a button and lots of fun!
