Yes. DreamiiDolls kittens are purebred Ragdolls from registered lines and are raised under a structured health and veterinary care program. Our breeding cats are selected with pedigree verification, temperament consistency, and genetic health screening in mind. Before placement, kittens receive routine veterinary exams, vaccinations, early health monitoring, and supporting documentation for families.

Absolutely. Our kittens are raised in the heart of our active family home and are exceptionally well-adjusted to children. My 6-year-old son is an integral part of our daily routine, helping with care and playtime—in fact, many of our kittens develop a special bond with him and often prefer playing with children. Furthermore, our kittens are 'noise-tested' by my 2-year-old daughter! They are completely accustomed to the unpredictable sounds and occasional loud shouts of toddlers, meaning they won't be easily startled by sudden noises in their new homes. This early exposure ensures a seamless and confident transition into families with children of all ages.

Yes. At DreamiiDolls, we are strictly cage-free, as we believe confined spaces lead to muscle atrophy, psychological stress, and a lack of essential human socialization. However, our 'cage-free' philosophy is rooted in science, not chaos. We practice 'Strategic Specialized Environments.' This means our cats are never caged, but they are thoughtfully grouped into dedicated living spaces based on their life stage and needs. For example, nursing mothers and their newborns have their own private, quiet sanctuary—away from other adults and active kittens—to prevent the stress that can lead to reduced milk production or maternal anxiety. By providing these distinct, spacious environments, every cat—from our breeding kings and queens to our youngest kittens—enjoys the freedom to move, the comfort of high-quality social interaction, and the peace they deserve. This is the most scientific and compassionate way to ensure both physical health and the legendary Ragdoll temperament.

Yes. All of our breeding cats are registered with recognized cat associations, including TICA, CFA, and CCA-AFC. All kittens placed as pets come with official registration through the appropriate association, ensuring documented lineage and responsible breeding standards.

Yes. We adhere to a rigorous veterinary health protocol to ensure your kitten starts their life with maximum protection. Every DreamiiDolls kitten comes with:1. Core Vaccinations:Your kitten receives two FVRCP core vaccinations before adoption. The remaining vaccinations, including rabies, are arranged by the new family with their veterinarian.2. Advanced Deworming & Parasite Protection: We perform two rounds of internal deworming with Strongid-T, followed by a comprehensive treatment of Revolution Plus for both internal and external protection. We don't cut corners on your kitten's health.3. Permanent Microchipping: Each kitten is microchipped for permanent identification, ensuring peace of mind and lifelong security.Every kitten goes home with a full, official veterinary health record documenting these treatments.

Socialization at DreamiiDolls is a sophisticated, multi-stage process that goes far beyond simple handling. We ensure every kitten is 'life-ready' through three specialized layers of interaction: 1. Human & Child Bonding: From the moment they begin weaning, our kittens receive daily hand-to-paw contact. They are gently handled by ourselves and our children, ensuring they are entirely comfortable with the touch and voices of all family members. Weekly 'grooming classes'—including fur brushing and nail trimming—are a mandatory part of their routine so they remain calm during future maintenance. 2. The 'Auntie' Mentorship: Around 2 months of age, our kittens spend dedicated time with our most gentle, even-tempered adult females. These 'Aunties' are master teachers; they successfully instruct the kittens on feline etiquette and how to greet new cats with friendliness rather than fear. 3. Fatherly Guidance: Our kittens also spend supervised time with their father. This unique exposure helps them build immense confidence, teaching them to interact with humans without using claws or teeth. This results in a kitten that is relaxed, trustful, and socially intelligent, making their transition to your home seamless and stress-free.

Show quality kittens are closer to the TICA breed standard in terms of body structure, coat pattern, and facial balance. Pet quality kittens are just as healthy and affectionate — the differences are only cosmetic, such as softer markings or slightly different symmetry. Both make equally wonderful family companions.

We will provide a “Dreamii Care Package” that includes kitten nail clippers, a grooming comb, canned kitten food, transitional dry food, and some cat toys. You will need to prepare your own cat litter, litter box, litter scoop, cat food, water dispenser, feeding bowls, and a cat tree or scratching post.

Our daily routine is designed around meticulous health monitoring and a premium nutritional program. Every day at DreamiiDolls includes: 1. Daily Health Diagnostics: We perform a 'head-to-tail' check on every kitten, inspecting their eyes, nose, and stool to ensure peak health. Their living spaces are deep-cleaned and disinfected daily, with constant access to fresh, filtered water. 2. Age-Specific 'Power Meals': We feed high-quality canned food supplemented with a scientifically balanced mix of nutrients tailored to their growth stage. This includes Lactoferrin (for immune support), Probiotics (for gut health), Egg Yolks (for coat quality), Taurine, Vitamin B complex, and Omega-3 Fish Oil (for brain and heart development). 3. Professional Grooming & Handling: Beyond playtime, we conduct daily handling and weekly 'spa sessions.' By regularly brushing their fur and trimming their nails from a young age, our kittens become perfectly accustomed to routine care, making them exceptionally easy-to-manage companions in their new homes.

We will provide the parents’ detailed genetic test reports once you have selected a kitten.

We do not routinely test each kitten for FIV/FeLV because kittens are born and raised in a closed, strictly indoor environment with controlled exposure. Our breeding cats are tested for FIV/FeLV, and we maintain a preventative health program. If a family has specific concerns or a veterinarian requests additional screening, we’re happy to discuss options on a case-by-case basis.

Yes. We believe in complete clarity before you welcome a new kitten into your home. We provide an [Adoption Agreement Overview] that outlines our core policies, health guarantees, and mutual responsibilities. Reviewing this overview allows families to understand our high standards and expectations in advance. Once you have been approved for adoption, we will provide the full, personalized legal contract for your final review and signature.
