ALL ABOUT me
Welcome to Dawn's Darling Ragdolls, I'm Dawn and in addition to being a Ragdoll breeder, I am also a dedicated special education teacher and mother of 5 amazing kids. With all but my youngest flown from the nest, our home is now filled with the joy of raising darling Ragdoll kittens. Teaching has been an integral part of my life for many years, and I've discovered that my profession and passion for Ragdoll breeding intersect in meaningful ways .This experience has taught me patience, empathy, and creativity - essential skills that benefit my Ragdoll breeding journey. I've learned to appreciate the individual strengths and challenges of each student and kitten, providing personalized attention and care.
My three daughters and I work together in breeding Ragdolls and while doing so we've formed an unbreakable bond, our cattery is based on teamwork and dedication. Being a mother has taught me the importance of nurturing and caring for tiny lives. I've learned valuable lessons that enrich my life daily.
Although I didn't grow up on a farm, I've always dreamed of living on the countryside, surrounded by animals and the great outdoors. The peace, beauty, and simplicity of rural life resonate deeply with me. While that dream hasn't become a reality yet, I've found a way to bring a piece of that farm life into my home through my Ragdoll breeding program. Caring for my kittens and watching them thrive brings me immense happiness.My love for these precious dolls began in the early 2000s when I welcomed a gorgeous blue point named Christmas into my home. She had the most stunning blue eyes, and was an absolute sweetie. Since then, I've fallen head over heels in love with Ragdolls! As I've dug deeper, I've uncovered countless fascinating facts about them that have deepened my appreciation for this incredible breed.
