Our RagaMuffin Kittens!Updated July 6, 2010 |
|
The kittens pictured below have been reserved or they have reservations pending, but we have some darling young kittens that are too small to make their Internet photo debut, plus a couple of retired adults and one beautiful-but-shy girl, who needs a special home. If you are interested in hearing about the little ones we have now or in updates on future kittens, please drop us a
to let us know. We'll add you to our mailing list. Note: We sometimes have more than one person or family interested in our kittens at one time. Indigo Rags kittens are available until they are reserved.
|
RagaMuffins take up to four years to mature. When are they old enough
for adoption? At about 14 to 16 weeks. The last weeks they spend with
their mothers and siblings are very important. Here's why
we wait. We also make sure they get their first series of kitten vaccinations and exams before they go to their new homes.

Reserved Kittens |
|
Celebrate Good Times |
|
|
These kittens are from California Dreamin' (Cally) plus Oz. They were born just a week after Janet Klarmann, one of our founding breeders, passed away. Janet celebrated the lives of those she loved, and so I've named this litter "Celebrate Good Times" in her honor. She is sorely missed, but the wonderful RagaMuffins that she was so instrumental in bringing into the world live on as a sweet legacy to her pioneering spirit. The Good Times kitties are 10 weeks old in these photos. |

 |
|
Above on the left, from left to right, are Jenna, Licorice, Ian and Kyra. On the right are Jenna and Kyra. Licorice and Kyra have reservations pending. See more info and photos, below. Jenna looks pretty dark in these photos, but her coloring will become lighter as she grows, giving her a lovely silver tabby pattern. She has been reserved. Ian, the kitten who looks almost white, is a cameo lynx point & white boy, and he has been reserved. "Cameo" means red and silver. It's a lovely blend that results in a lighter color than a red point kitty. Ian should have lovely apricot coloring on his ears, nose & tail, faint lynx marks (like light tabby markings), and little white feet. He will keep his blue eyes. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Licorice, on the left above, is a black & white tuxedo boy. He is the sweetest kitten, purring the minute you touch him & coming to greet us when we've been out of the room for awhile. Licorice's reservation is pending. Kyra, on the right, is shaded silver tortie girl. I love her big eyes. Her reservation is also pending. She will let us hold her for quite awhile, and she has the sweetest feeling about her. Kyra's coloring will become lighter as she gets older, looking more silvery than it does now. |
|
|
Goodfellows |
|
|
These kittens are from Cassandra (Cassie) and Zeus. Cassie is Cally's daughter, and I've named this litter in honor of Janet's daughter, Robin. Also, the kitty that the RagaMuffin standard was originally written to describe was named Robin Goodfellow (Puck). So, I've named this litter the "Goodfellows." The Goodfellows are 9 weeks old in these photos. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Above on the left, from left to right, are Avery, Raleigh, Summer and Jenna (she's visiting from the Good Times litter, above). On the right are Raleigh, Avery, DaVinci and Summer. See more info and photos, below. Summer (Midsummer Nights' Dream) is a natural mink silver mctabby & white girl. She is a full sister to Beau, who is currently a stud 'Muffin at Cheham, in the UK. She is staying right here at Indigo Rags to be a future mama. Currently, Summer is a light tan color, but as she gets older, the silver should be the predominant color. DaVinci, who is hanging over the edge of their play furniture, is a seal lynx point & white boy. He'll keep his blue eyes. DaVinci has been reserved for Sally, who lives in Sacramento. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Raleigh and Avery are both silver mctabby & white boys. They are both little sweethearts. Raleigh has been reserved. Avery has a reservation pending. They will probably both have green eyes. Avery, who is one of the sweetest kittens on the planet, has a health challenge, so he will be an extremely inexpensive kitty for just the right person. |
|
Adopted Kittens |
|
The following kittens were born here at Indigo Rags, and now they have
have found their way into wonderful new homes. |
|
Cheshire Tabbies |
|
|
These kittens are from Addy & Oz, the same parents as for Falling in Love and The Closet Kitties (below). They are just 5 weeks old in these photos. They love their humans and are always happy to be petted. |
| |
 |
 |
|
All four of the Cheshire Tabbies have been adopted. Chaz is a blue classic tabby & white boy. In the photo on the left, he's the one all the way to the left, and he's sitting more-or-less on his sister in the photo on the right. Chaz is living with Sasha now in Victoria, BC. His sister, Ally, is a blue classic tabby girl, and she lives with Suzel in Sonoma. The other two are now named Truman (a seal lynx point & white boy) and Tucker (a natural mink & white boy). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dusty's Little Darlings |
|
|
These kittens are from Dusty Rosa Leigh and Zeus. They are 14 weeks old here. This litter is made up of super friendly kittens. Often, if I sit on the floor with them, they will all come to sit on my lap. When I'm ready to get up, I put two of them on the floor, then two more. By then the first two have climbed back onto my lap again! They are so friendly, they just make my heart sing. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Jack (in the photos above) is a cream lynx point & white boy. He'll stay very light in color, and he'll keep his blue eyes. Jack is super friendly and outgoing. He's usually one of the first to come over to greet me when I come into the room. He has been adopted. |
| |
 |
 |
|
This beautiful girl (above) is Tori. She's a blue lynx point & white girl with a pretty white blaze; she will keep her blue eyes. She has been adopted along with her brother, Jack, and they are now living in southern California. This girl is a super friendly kitty; she runs across the room when she sees us, and she loves to cuddle and to be petted. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Both of these kitties are super sweet. Hayden, on the left, above, is a blue mink & white boy. He has been adopted. Muffy, on the right, is a blue mink & white girl. She has been adopted. |
|
Chryssa |
|
|
This lovely girl is from Sierra and Zeus. She's 20 weeks old in these photos. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Chryssa is a lovely blue mink & white girl, and she has been adopted. Blue mink looks like a pretty cup of cappuccino. This girl is so people oriented and affectionate. You should only consider her if you want a really friendly kitty. She follows me everywhere, wants to help out with everything. She is a joy to have around. Like most mink kitties, she has aqua eyes. |
|
|
The Closet Kitties |
|
|
These little darlings are Adelaide and Oz' "Closet Kitties," so named because Addy retired into the closet in my office when it was time for them to be born. She didn't come to ask my help (which the mamas usually do) or make a sound, but I heard these tiny little meows and went to investigate. There they were, four little darlings, happily nursing away. They are 14 weeks old in these photos. |
| |
 |
 |
|
In the photo on the left are Sophie and Clark. Sophie is a seal point girl with blue eyes. Sophie has been adopted. Clark is a blue mink classic tabby & white boy with aqua eyes. Clark has been adopted. You can see them again in the photo on the right with Levi and Taylor. Levi is a blue point boy, and he has been adopted. Taylor is a black & white tuxedo boy, and he has also been adopted. All of these kittens are so friendly! They come right over to be petted the instant we enter the same room, and they purr and purr with pleasure when we grant their wish. They're pretty irresistible. |
|
|
Tabby Trio |
|
|
These three little darlings are from Cassie and Oz. They were startled by another kitty coming to investigate in the photo on the right. They are 9 weeks old in these photos. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Sophie Bea is the little brown classic tabby & white girl in the front of the basket. She has been adopted by Rosalie & Steve in Half Moon Bay. Ella is the silver classic tabby & white girl on the left in the back. She was been adopted by Suzanne in New Jersey. Oliver is a shaded silver & white boy. The silver kittens are likely to have green eyes once they are done changing (kittens eyes start out blue). So far, Sophie Bea's eyes are copper. |
|
|
|
|
Crystal |
|
|
This beautiful girl is from Annie & Zeus. She is 15 weeks old in these photos. She has been adopted. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Crystal is a seal silver tortie lynx point girl. Her coloring is pretty and subtle; she will appear mostly white for a long time as her silver coloring comes in over the years. She has a sweet and gentle personality. Her eyes will stay blue. They have the prettiest, ice-blue coloring to go along with her silver points. It's fun to watch the pointed kitties change and get more color over time. Crystal lives now with Shanti and her family in Merced. |

|
My Old Kentucky Home |
|
|
These three little darlings are from Melody & Diamond. I named this litter "My Old Kentucky Home" because I was in Kentucky when they arrived. My cousin, Paul, was here at the other end of a cell phone, giving updates and taking care of them as the babies were born. They're all named after places in Kentucky. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Adopted. Here we have Perry, Meadow & Lexi peering out of a kitty tree-house at 8 weeks old. On the right is Lexi, at 11 weeks, who lives in Auburn with Jen, who promises to give her massages, which I know she will love. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Adopted. Perry (like Perry Como or Perry Mason--but named after Perryville, Kentucky) is a seal lynx point & white boy. In these photos he is 10 and 11 weeks old. This little darling has the softest fur & he loves his humans! He likes to climb into a lap for a little kitty snooze. He's now keeping his new retired human company, and I'm sure he's loving that. His name is "Buddy" now. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Adopted. Now "Mimi," "Meadow in Bloom" was originally named after a beautiful meadow near Springfield, Kentucky & also some of the words in the song by Stephen Foster. Mimi is a brown mctabby & white girl. She lives with Jackie & Mark in San Francisco. You can see that she has good taste in reading materials. She's 5 and 10 weeks old in these photos. |
|
|
A Great Girl in a Small Package |
|
|
| |
 |
 |
|
Staying here for now. Here is Liza Jane, our first mini-'Muffin, at 5 and 7 months. She's a Chloe & Oz daughter. So far, she's smaller than most 'Muffins, but oh so sweet. She likes to sleep on the bed, and she likes to "help" read a book by sitting on top of the reader and purring. |
|
|
"My Blue Heaven" |
|
|
Here are Annie & Zeus' kittens. My friend Janet named this litter "My Blue Heaven," because they are all one or another form of "blue" (gray). Their current names are all taken from the 1950 movie by that name. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Adopted. These two photos are of Jackson Blue at 8 and 11 weeks. He's a blue kitty boy with the tiniest white spot on his tummy. He has a most engaging personality & he looks like he might just talk to you in a minute. ("Jack" is the male star of My Blue Heaven.) Jackson (now Kuba) lives with Theo (Professor Kleks) and Chester (Bimber) in southern California. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Adopted. Molly is a blue lynx point girl. She will keep her blue eyes. Here she is at 8 weeks and then a close-up at 14 weeks. Although she looks pretty white now, her blue coloring on her face, ears, feet, and tail will "come in" more over the next several years. She will keep her beautiful blue eyes. ("Molly" is the female lead character in the movie. She's nicknamed "Kitty," which makes me smile.) Molly lives in Pennslyvania in a beautiful old stone farmhouse. |
| |
 |
 |
|
Adopted. Dr. Graham is the biggest kitten in this litter. He's playful & very sweet. He's a blue mctabby & white boy. Here he is at 8 and 13 weeks. He lives with Kristine in San Jose. ("Dr. Graham" is Jack & Molly's doctor.) |
| |
 |
 |
|
Adopted. My Blue Rose (Rosie) is a blue patched mctabby girl... You can see that she has a cute cream spot on her forehead. She's living with Joe, in Arizona, who loves this tortie coloring. ("My Blue Heaven" becomes "My Blue Rose" for this blue & cream girl.) |
| |
 |
 |
|
Adopted. Evening Light (now Taija) is practically a twin of Dr. Graham. Marcy, who works with our vet, has adopted her. ("Evening" and "Light" are from the theme song of the movie.) Eva's new name will be Taija. |

These are Sierra's little babies, both with classic markings, at about 5 weeks old. |

to see it here at Indigo Rags. Georgia is staying here be a future kitty mama. |

Coda's May Babies |

On May 3d, Coda came to see me at 4:15 in the morning, and she said, "Okay, now

8 weeks old.

will be mostly white cats, with a lovely golden glow, and
flame-colored ears, tails, and noses. Both will keep their baby-blue
