Welcome to Maple Leaf Ragdolls, a small home-based cattery located in Norman, Oklahoma! We are dedicated to raising healthy, outgoing ragdolls who are loved and well socialized with adults, children, and other pets. We do NOT cage any animals in our home; they are members of our family and loved by all! Our home is immaculately clean and inspected each year. This loving, clean environment is best for raising such gorgeous ragdolls!
Maple Leaf Ragdolls breeds to TICA and CFA ragdoll standards!
We are happy to work with new ragdoll families from the Central U.S. where we are located (including Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Colorado,and others), as well as the entire U.S. and worldwide. We are happy to ship as well, pending good weather. Should you have special delivery issues, please be sure to ask us.
We are proud of our Canadian heritage; however, we have lived in the U.S. most of our lives. Norman, Oklahoma has been our home for the past 17 years - the "Heartland of America". Norman is approximately 10 miles south of Oklahoma City.
I have been blessed with three children (ages 27, 26, and 20) who adore our ragdolls and help with the raising, socialization, and showing of our cats. All the ragdolls sleep with us and have free roam of our house. Our babies are loved and nurtured from the day they arrive. Most prefer a human's bed to sleep on at night!
My credentials include earning my Bachelor's and Master's degrees (University of Northern Colorado and University of Oklahoma respecfully). I have also completed many post-graduate studies at the University of Oklahoma toward my Doctorate degree. I earned a 3.9 GPA in Graduate School at OU (out of 4.0 scale) - graduating with Honors). I am extremely proud to state that I earned all my degrees while working full time and raising my three children as a single parent. I am a hard worker and goal-oriented woman and taking "no" or "I can't" for an answer is just not acceptable. As I've entered my mid-life years, I've begun slowing down a bit and enjoying the life I've worked so long and hard to create for myself and my family. My hobbies include traveling, genealogy, and gardening. We occasionally travel to show our beautiful ragdolls in TICA and CFA on the weekends!
Please see our Kings and Queens pages to view our stunning ragdoll breeders! I have included personal information about each cat to let you know about their personalities. It may take a moment to load; please be patient as the photos are worth waiting for.
Many of our breeders that we began with have now been neutered/spayed and have found their permanent homes. I have devoted a page called "Past Generations for those folks who might enjoy seeing the ragdolls we began with.
*****ALL BREEDERS HAVE BEEN HCM DNA TESTED OR WERE HCM SCANNED NEGATIVE BY A BOARD CERTIFIED CARDIOLOGIST. THEY ARE ALSO FREE OF FELV AND FIP. All breeders have had their blood type confirmed by my vet as "Type A". All are also tested Negative for PKD. For more information on HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) and other severe illnesses which are prone to ALL purebreed cats, please check my "Favorite Links" web page*****
