We are based in Barry in the Vale Of Glamorgan. South Wales UK
We have had a problem finding regular supplies for our family of cats. We have started adding products to our https://petshoponline.uk
We are animal lovers. My wife is a Budhist who has strong beliefs about the treatment of & the way any animal is kept.
Our family includes my wife and I. We have 2 small pomeranian dogs named Pepsi & Popcorn. We also have 4 female Ragdolls called Milo, Moji, Belle & Maggie.
Our male Ragdoll is called: King Cosmo, he is the main man.
We ensure our pets are comprehensively insured with Agria, the Insurance company approved by the GCCF.
We created a colouring book for instant download. Click to learn more
Our family normally have the freedom of the whole house & garden to run around & play in, which is fully fenced in, inluding the complete top of our garden for guaranteed security of our familly of Ragdolls. We also have premade wooden frames with green plastic covered galvanised wire for when we need to open the windows in our house.
It is very important to ensure the safety of your ragdoll kitten/cat. Never allow them to roam free, only allow them to go outside if your garden is escape proof (you will be amazed by how small a hole can be for the ragdoll to escape, or it could be as bad if a stray cat was able to gain access to your garden (ragdoll kittens/cats).
