Why us?
Hi! This is Yang and Drew from Caviar Dreams Ragdolls. We are excited and honored to have you considering our cattery when you look for your next family member, a Ragdoll kitten.
We are a family of 10 (yes, you read it correctly, 10!) located in the beautiful Bay area, California. It started with a family of 2, I promise. Of course, as you probably already guessed, the reason that we say a family of 10 is because we included our cats and one and only dog, Momo! Our cats and dog live together with us in our home. As of May 2021, we are a small, closed, and family cattery meaning no visitor is allowed (you know, COVID is real...)
Fun facts:
- We are millennials! We take pride that we are a younger generation of breeders. We sincerely thank you for all the Ragdoll mentors (i.e., Izabela, Nicole, Stephanie, and Zeia) that helped us throughout this journey. We hope to continue serving the Ragdoll community and spreading the love, making this breed known to more people!
- Want to see Momo's picture? He's the one and only dog that we have in the family. We are proud to say that our cats / kittens grow up with Momo together. We try our best to socialize our cats with Hoomans and their doggie friend. Afterall, Ragdolls are known for their personalities. See Momo's pictures below ↓
- Drew is expected to graduate from his PhD program soon! (maybe another few years... but real soon!)
How did it begin?
Yang's Monologue: When I was in school, I adopted two Ragdoll kittens — Nini and Wawa. They are the most wonderful souls that experienced the ups and downs in my life, from finishing my biology lab reports in the evenings to preparing for finals till 2AM and from looking for an internship to my first full-time job. They were always there!
They moved from Kansas → Atlanta → Napa (CA) → San Bruno (CA) → San Francisco (CA). They witnessed my first and second full-time jobs. They were the first ones (not even my parents) to know what were the things that were happening in my life. Everything was perfect. I had them and they had me.
Everything changed until late 2020. Nini passed away in Oct 2020 and left Wawa alone with me. I was devastated with Drew. After careful thinking (i.e., talking to family, friends, other Ragdoll Breeders) We decided to become a Ragdoll breeder — spreading the love of owning Ragdolls and allowing more families (especially in the Bay area) to have the opportunity to accept one to their family!
