💎 Please bear in mind that we may have 8 - 21 Pixidollz Families to be dealing with at any one time. As well as Future Litter Inquires etc, so please try to understand that it is very difficult trying to balance everything and keep everyone happy all the time. We do Our Very Best and do provide everyone with lots of information etc. Once Reserved we do update and will stay in contact but photo shoots and contact via messaging is every 3 weeks because this takes alot of time. We of course have to prioritise the Important Every Day Care of Our Young Children and Fur Family and Fur Babies. Even when My Hubby is off of work this time is spent either travelling to Vet Appointments or doing Kitty Photo shoots to do updates or doing video calls with people. So Time is Very Precious to us and we have to utilise this well. Of course we always try to respond to any messages with 24hours.
We do welcome any New Potential Pixidollz Family Members to email us with any genuine kitten enquires, please provide us with as much information as possible when you initially enquire by providing your full name, address, email address and answers to the following questions.
We don't ever overstep the mark and interrogate anyone in an autocratic manner, we also expect to receive the same level of respect. a certain degree is required by all not just the buyer.
🐾 Who will the new Potential Family Members be for our Pixidollz Baby?
🐾 Please provide a little information about your home/work life to know that your newest family member will receive enough companionship.
🐾 What made you decide to choose a Ragdoll as your choice of Pet Companion?
🐾 What qualities are you looking for in your New Ragdoll?
🐾 We maybe able to suggest a particular Kitten in the litter if there is a particular trait you are looking for if you don't mind so much the colour.
🐾 Do you have any Pets already to provide company for your Potential New Ragdoll?
Or if you will be considering having two Kitties together or getting another in the future?
Giving this information helps us to establish if one of Our Pixidollz Babies maybe suitable for you and will go some way in helping to assure us that a loving and caring home will be provided where they will be a greatly loved and adored Forever Family Pet.
The majority of the people who fail to provide information in their 1st message to us turn out to be unsuitable.
💜 We are now listed as a Registered Breeder on the Tica website to help reassure our Pixidollz Kitty buyers ✔
We do our best to respond to all those that take time to write to us giving information within 24 hours.
💎 If you have already contacted another breeder we do politely ask that you only contact us after having already decided not to proceed with them. This avoids wasting ours or the other breeders time.
🌟PRIORITY WAITING LIST 🌟
We now only offer a Priority Waiting list due to many people not waiting and after taking the time to write to people they do not even take the time to respond. So now we will only notify people before advertising if they secure a Priority slot to choose first with a £100 non refundable deposit. This is part of the standard £350 Reservation Deposit. You are Welcome to ask to be notified when pictures and videos are available when the Kittens are 3 weeks old to choose for pet homes only. The Kittens will all be first offered to those who have paid the £100 Priority Deposit. This helps to ensure we don't waste large amounts of time answering people's questions unnecessarily when they aren’t actually prepared to wait for a suitable Kitten to become available. Many unsuitable candidates seem to view searching for their "forever companion" like supermarket shopping. Kittens won't be Reserved for anyone without the £100 Priority list fee, this at least gives us peace of mind that our time isn't being wasted on dishonest buyers. Not a large sum and a fair price to prove honest intentions and also a price that is deducted from the full price of the Kitten anyway. Once you have chosen you will be able to pay the remainder of the deposit. The remaining Kittens if any will then be allocated to those suitable that express keen interest and have also taken time to provide information 💕
💎 You can be assured that deposit will be refunded if we or our Vet finds any medical reason why the Kitten would not be fit for rehoming or if we the Sellers change our mind about the sale. The deposit won't be refunded for any other reason.
💖 We only look to choose the most loving and suitable of homes for each of our Pixidollz Babies.
We have just set up an Instagram Account for our Pixidollz Kitty Families though for those that do like to use it.
@pixidollz_ragdolls_uk
So we will try to add pics and videos when we can to help you keep track of all your New Fur Babies development 🥰
Email is our method of contact initially, then subsequently we will then be able to communicate via text messaging as well as email if more convenient.
The way that we do things helps us to maintain a Healthier Pixidollz/Family Life Balance 🕉💜🏡🐈
🌟 All viewings and reservations are done REMOTELY - through pictures/ videos and a WhatsApp video call to meet the Kittens and ourselves so please ONLY contact us if you are happy with this. Meeting your Kitten/Cat and us in person happens on collection day if you are collecting in person. You will have the opportunity to sit down, cuddle and ensure you are Happy with Your New Family Member. Have a chat with us and be shown relevant paperwork, we will also point out the Mum and Dad for you to see too. This works better for us as a Family with a lack of time for so many visitors, it is far better for the Safety of our Family which we have to take Very Seriously given that this is First and Foremost Our Family Home Not a Petting Zoo and We are dealing with large numbers of the Public which are essentially strangers. The Health and Happiness of our Cats and Kittens are Also Equally Important. Cats don't like to be constantly overwhelmed with strangers, Mummy Cats especially don't like their Babies being handled by strangers. Stress is Very Harmful to Cats and causes illnesses. Having Visitors also Greatly Increases the chance of the Fur Babies becoming ill with their Immune Systems not being fully developed. So by us not doing Home Visits initially isn't because we are being awkward it's because we Very Much Care about Our Family Both Human and Feline.
Only Once we have ascertained if you are suitable for one of our Kittens will we send you pictures/videos via WhatsApp.
💎 We offer each New Pixidollz Family 1 WhatsApp Video call for you to meet the available Kittens and us should you like to.
(This is something that we only offer to those with a SERIOUS intention of purchasing a Pixidollz Baby and only to those that we feel maybe suitable).
Updates going forward will be us sending you a picture and video every 3weeks. I will generally post a picture or 2 each week on our Instagram page of either Our Kittens or Cats.
Pictures and Videos are difficult to do as good lighting and patience is needed. Kittens don't like being positioned for photos and videos either and the Mums don't appreciate it, So we do have to try and have a bit of a ballance. I am also very particular about photos and like to spend time on achieving nice ones - not just rubbish every day shots.
We do ask that you do your own thorough research of the Ragdoll breed as we do not have the time to be providing people with basic Cat Care information which easily be obtained from the internet all whilst still considering if a Cat is the right Pet for them. Please also extensively discuss with your Family members and anyone else that you may need permission from such as Landlords BEFORE contacting us.
Also do any necessary allergy checks PRIOR to contacting us.
We do NOT have time to waste responding to numerous messages and doing video calls for people that are unsure of their Kitten purchasing decision. This may sound harsh to some but we need to try to maintain our sanity!
We are super friendly which you will see for yourself upon meeting us 💕
We are very happy to spend time messaging people with information and to do video calls for those with a Serious Interest in purchasing one or more of Our Pixidollz Babies.
We have learnt the hard way that we need to do things in a way that works best for us.
We do not negotiate on prices or do payment plans so again please ONLY contact us if you are happy with the price stated.
🌟 Please note that full payment is required at least 24hrs before collection or delivery via bank transfer to Our Business Account. If 2 separate payments are required by your bank on different days, then please ensure that the 1st payment is made 48hrs before collection.
A correct cash payment will be accepted (if necessary) on the day of collection.
If a courier is to be used then full payment is required at least 72hrs before delivery made via bank transfer only!
The reason that we do this is to to ensure that we are not left in the situation of waiting for lengthy periods of time waiting for bank transfers to clear. A situation that we have been in before.
Collection day instead is then about enjoying a chat with Our New Pixidollz Kitty Parents, showing you all relevant paperwork, for you to have a cuddle with and ensure you are Happy with Your New Fur Baby before taking them Home 💞🏡
Our website is very detailed and clear and to the point, we do very much hope that we don't offend anyone as this is not our intention. We do just like to be very open and honest and transparent to avoiding wasting anyone's time. Everyone knows where they stand then with no hidden surprises. We are then able to enjoy getting to know our Pixidollz Babies Future Parents and enjoy the journey of making your dreams come true with your New Forever Companion 💖
Ragdolls do have a unique need for companionship and we only wish our Ragdolls to be homed with people who have plenty of time for them. As should any ethical breeder.
It wouldn't be fair on them to be left alone all day.
If you aren't at home for up to 6 hours each day then we would strongly suggest that you have 2 Kittens together 😻💗😻
If you aren't at home any more than that then we wouldn't suggest getting a Ragdoll.
Anyone who wishes to secure and reserve one or more of our kittens or retired cats after approval will be required to sign a Kitten Contract 📝
You must be at least 18 to do this, so anyone doing so on behalf of their Parents - (this must be in the name of the Parent with the Parents signature).
We will email the Kitten Contract through to you to read, if you are happy with this and wish to proceed then you can reserve with a deposit.
You will be required to sign the contract upon collection or electronically if this is possible for you.
We are happy to send you pictures of other things we would recommend you purchasing before your new addition joins you.
We provide you with an extensive written information file upon collection providing all the Information you could need. The leaving date is when you have the opportunity to cuddle with your Kitty and have a chat with us too before taking them home.
We strictly do not offer any visitation before collection day anymore as the Safety of our Family and Health and Happiness of our Cats & Kittens is far more important to us than offering yet more reassurance to get any wary buyers to reserve in the 1st instance. We do feel that we already go above and beyond to provide reassurance and anyone that speaks to us and meets us will see that we don't deserve our sincerity to be questioned.
💎 All of our Kittens will now be early Neutered/ Spayed at approximately 12 weeks thanks to our wonderful Vets for now doing this for us.
This is going really well and the Kittens seem to make a much quicker recovery than when older.
This is due to the unscrupulous people with whom we have been contacted by which have attempted to deceive us. When they have been caught out they have made vile threats to us whilst trying to obtain a Kitten for their backstreet breeding purposes.
If for some reason we are unable to Neuter/Spay then by reserving one of our Pixidollz Kittens you are legally contracted to Neuter~Spay the said kitten at 5 months of age. This will however be a very rare occurrance - we shall endeavour to never be letting a Kitten leave us unaltered again.
We will require you to message us with the proof of this procedure by no later than 7 months of age, all necessary requirements for proof of the procedure are listed in the contract.
Once proof of neutering/spaying has been received your Kittens Tica Registration Slip shall be posted to you to with your Kittens Pedigree Certificate.
The Kitten Contract is of benefit to both you as the purchaser as us the seller, it prevents any misunderstanding or confusion and also includes a Health Guarantee to offer you peace of mind.
Everyone's personal situation is different and a Breeders prices should reflect their individual circumstances. There are many things that need to be taken into account when deciding how much to ask for each Kitten or Cat. For a buyer it may seem alot or even to another Breeder who may charge less. We have spent much time working things out to see if we could manage by charging less and unfortunately there is no way that we could continue doing it if we did. Not all Breeders will have the same outgoings or put in the same level of effort and time and provide the same level care and nurturing and quality of life. Not all Breeders declare their income...yet we do. Again this makes a vast difference in how much you struggle throughout the year financially. What we charge we consider to be a very fair price as we don't ever get truly reimbursed for everything that we put into it. Most "normal jobs" you get paid a wage for the time that you put in. Any other business you wouldn't continue whilst more often than not making a loss.
We are only ever really reimbursed with the satisfaction we get when we meet wonderful people and find the most loving homes for our much loved and precious Fur Babies 💗
Many people seem to greatly underestimate just how much a Good Breeders outgoings are, for instance when we have a very small litter we won't even break even...and even if the next litter is larger it is only helping to compensate for what we have lost. Initial start up costs are huge, the cost of Importing each of our Cats is a large amount of money. Health Testing Each Individual Cat as well as Annual testing and Vaccinations costs mount up. Food, litter, worm and flea treatments. Any unexpected Vet bills or medications, Cat furniture. Then there is the expense of making sure you have adequate space to give your cats and Kittens the quality of life they deserve and improving their enrichment. After all the more obvious expenditure then there is your time, the hours that get spent on providing every element of care needed day and night. Then there is the major impact on your Family Life....the huge amount of anxiety and stress takes such a toll both phsically, mentally and emotionally.
There is always a massive gamble because when we spend a huge amount of money on Importing a Queen there is no guarantee that all will work out well, it could be that motherhood isn't for her, not only will all that money you invested be lost but you will end up bringing that litter up alone...two hourly feeds day and night as well as toileting them yourself. You then have to spend all that money again on replacing this Queen. Ragdoll Breeding is very unpredictable, things don't always go to plan and this is something you always have to be prepared for.
A Good Breeder will be prepared to be there for their Cats and Kittens 24/7 because you shouldn't expect to just be putting down a bowl of kibble for the day in the morning with a litter of Kittens behind the television and expect all to be well when you get home! For a start kibble doesn’t provide Queens and and developing Kittens adequate nutrition. You also need adequate and suitable private space for you Queen and Kittens and Stud if you plan to have your own. It is also necessary to be at Home a large percentage of the time to stand any chance of keeping on top of everything that is required of a Pedigree Cat breeder. When your Queens are due you have to make sure you are there day and night, which may not even be when you are expecting so to be able to be there for them is crucial and can mean the difference of life and death for both your Queen and litter. So for any one thinking of starting out Breeding Cats please thoroughly research as best you can and think very long and hard about your decision and be sure to discuss at length with your Family too. It will greatly help for you to have a mentor in place before starting if you are still determined to.
We feel Very Blessed and Adore our Fur Family but don't want people wrongly assuming it is easy or profitable. It is very much full time without the wage and many sacrifices end up being made.
We have provided lots of information to help you get to know us/our Cats and how we do things. We like this to be reciprocated by anyone that messages us.
If you are happy with our reservation process and how we do things then we really look forward to meeting you in the near future, if not then we thank you for taking the time to read through our website info and wish you good luck in finding your future feline companion 💜🐈
Namaste 🙏
