ABOUT ME AND MY CATTERY
Where Passion Meets Preservation
I'm Rose Skorupa, I started Snoot Boop Ragdolls in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. A lifelong love for animals put me down a veterinary medicine path that led to the cattery life dream. I have years of experience working and volunteering at animal hospitals and shelters. That led me to do rehabilitation and foster work as well.
In 2021 my cattery dream got to finally begin after a lot of research. I contacted TICA's mentorship program and was so fortunate to get connected with Stormi Nell of Familytime Rags. She has proven to be a great person and breeder helping preserve traditional lines. She is who started my love and appreciation of them. I have since dedicated myself to helping preserve traditional line Ragdolls.
I breed to the breed standard. My cats come from champion bloodlines including Regional Winners, Supreme and Quadruple Grand Champions. I am so fortunate to be able to focus on being a breeder full-time. I ensure each kitten receives lots of love and socialization through the day.
My mission is to produce healthy, affectionate Ragdolls that stay true to the breed. I want to see loving, floppy kittens living long lives. You are not just getting a pet when you add a Snoot Boop Ragdoll to your family. You are becoming part of our commitment to preserving the breed's future as well as helping my dreams be a reality. I want to see the foundation of the breed we adore last for future generations to fall in love with as I have.

BETTER UNDERSTANDING THE RAGDOLL BREED
Ragdolls are known for their striking blue eyes, point coats, affectionate nature and a need to be in your day. They are a social breed that tends to do well with kids and pets. Some are known to go limp in your arms when you pick them up. Toe tufts are a desirable trait in the breed.
Traditional Ragdolls are those with at least 90% of their ancestral history tracing back to the original foundation cats developed by Ann Baker in Riverside, California in the early 1960's. "Traditional Ragdoll" is often misused in the Ragdoll community. Many breeders may refer to cats of traditional colors as "traditional Ragdolls". This does not mean they are traditional line Ragdolls.
RAGDOLLS FROM TRADITIONAL LINES
-
Most closely related to the cats that originally started the breed in the 1960's
-
Come in Seal, Blue, Chocolate or Lilac as a point breed with eyes that are only blue
-
Come in Mitted, Colorpoint and Bicolor (high mitted, mid high-white and high-white/van)
-
No Red, Cream, Tortie, Lynx or Torbie found in the pedigree
-
No sepia, solid, or any other variant or Cherubim within their pedigree
-
Known for their moderate features, gentle temperament and sometimes slower maturation
RAGDOLL POPULARITY, PERSONALITY AND TEMPERAMENT
Ragdolls rank as the top breed of cat year after year. This means they are the most popular, widely owned breed of pedigree cat within the largest cat organizations. They are known for being loving, social and docile cats that tend to get along with most animals and well-mannered children.
Popular as emotional support pets and even trained as cats that visit elderly homes due to being known for a gentle and tolerant nature especially compared to the average cat. These cats love to be underfoot like your shadow. Some talk to you for attention (or food!). Even the ones that aren't lap cats still insist on being glued to your side and always being a part of your day. They really are exceptionally natured cats and I can't imagine not having a Ragdoll in my life.

RAGDOLL FACTS
Are Ragdolls the largest breed of cat?
Ragdolls are one of the largest domestic cat breeds. Males average 15 to 20 pounds. Females average 10 to 15 pounds. They take up to 4 years to reach full size.
Maine Coons are the largest breed of cat averaging 9 to 25 pounds and up. Norwegian Forest Cats are another large breed reaching 9 to 18 pounds. Then there are breeds like the Ragdoll, RagaMuffin, Siberian and Turkish Van which can all weigh around the same range of 9-20 pounds.
Ragdolls Only Have Blue Eyes.
Ragdolls are a point breed which means their eyes are only blue. It also means they are born white as kittens. Their coloration and pattern develops by 2-3 years of age. They have a soft bunny coat that requires occasional combing.
My Ragdolls embody what the breed was meant to be: large, lovable companions that often go limp when held. A need for human companionship makes Ragdolls perfect additions to any family. Especially for those seeking a devoted shadow cat that loves to be in your day.

Guide to Ragdoll Cat Colors
In the Ragdoll world many use terms like traditional colors and non-traditional colors.
All traditional line Ragdolls only come in traditional colors.
Non-traditional line Ragdolls can come in traditional colors.

Understanding Ragdoll Patterns
Ragdolls are a point breed which means they only have blue eyes. Not aqua, teal, green or any other shade or color. Being a pointed breed affects every part of their coloration.
How Point Breeds Work
The points or ends of the cat are darker than the rest of them (face, ears, legs, feet and tail). Being a point breed means Ragdolls are born white. A Ragdoll's coat colors and pattern reach full development around 2-3 years of age. Point breeds only have blue eyes. It is a genetic mutation that involves temperature-sensitive pigment production. Warmer areas have reduced pigment production making darker pigmentation on the cooler extremities (paws, ears, tail, etc).
Ragdolls are born white

Ragdolls Come in 3 Main Patterns
The 3 main Ragdoll patterns are Mitted, Colorpoint and Bicolor. Regardless of what color or pattern overlay a Ragdoll has, it will always still come in 1 of the 3 patterns.
Bicolor also has 3 types: High mitted, mid high-white and high-white/van. High mitted are what we most commonly see here in the US because they happen from pairing 2 mitted together.
Fun fact: Pairing 2 mitted together is how you can get all 3 patterns in 1 litter!
Mitted: Colored points, nose and paw pads with white chin, white mittens and white boots.
Colorpoint: Colored points, nose and paw pads with no white anywhere.
Bicolor: Colored face and tail with pink nose and paw pads with white legs and triangle on their face.
Fun fact: Mitted have colored paw pads that also have pink from where the white displays.

Ragdolls Can Come In 3 Pattern Overlays
Ragdolls can have 1 of 3 pattern overlays: Tortie (from the Red gene), Lynx (tabby stripes) or Torbie (both Tortie and Lynx together).
Lynx stripes follow the rules of whatever pattern they come in (bicolor, colorpoint and mitted). Torties follow no rules with their mix of colors being allowed anywhere even if it "breaks" pattern.
You can see 2 blue tortie point bicolor Ragdolls below. Their colors are blue with cream (from the red gene) since they are dilute. You can see Elsa's blue and cream sides just like Plum's.
Fun fact: Plum is Elsa's mom!
