After 7 years of breeding I have decided to close my cattery doors. I have always loved the Ragdoll cat and will forever be greatful for their introduction into my life. My family and the friends I have made along the way have made the last 7 years a wonderful experience. I have cried at the thought of no more kittens here but it is time in my life to spend it with my family as they grow older and move out of my house. My children have only known the Ragdoll cat as a pet for them in our home since they were young and it was my children who started my life out searching for the very first one. My life has been only dedicated to the Ragdoll and a small portion to my family for the last several years, and at this time I feel it is necessary to go back to my family and their needs and wants. This does not allow me much time for my babies, my Ragdolls, and so it is with deep sadness that I have come to make the decision to close my doors as of July 1, 2007. My heart has been very heavy since the loss of my most favorite breeder here at LeCapri, Rags2riches Magnum of LeCapri this past year. I feel a loss and a missing part of my heart since his passing. Things have never been the same since. So I sat down with my family and discussed what it would be like to finally come back to them and spend what little years I have left with each of them before they move on and decided it was the right time and the right thing to do. I have met many wonderful families, an exstension of my own family through breeding this wonderful breed of cats. I am greatful to the following breeders for allowing their cats to be part of my life and my heart, Rags2Riches, Mourningdove, Dollvalley, Soulmates, Carlydolls, Bordeaux, Meriwidoz, Stellarheart, Masquerags, Purfectdolls, Hollyfarms, Ritzyrags, Dollheaven, Northshirerags, Brierrose, Rivershorerags, and so many more. I also would like to thank those breeders to which I have gotten to know over the past several years and have become friends with, Gry Wigum, Pat Andrews, Martine Vesly, Cindy Carpenter, Cheryl Adams, Doris Simon,Stacy Shafer, Bonnie Hanson, Lynne Chmelar, Susanne, Mindy Ferreira, Dorthe, Marianne Winnberg, Yana Brozova, Denise Christensen, Pat Doss, Leslie Costigan, Carolyn and George Font, Christie Lyons, Kathleen Burke, Dawn Moline, Virginia Shages, Linda Kaufman, Pat Weintraub, Scottie Cone, Joanne Poston, Lillian Narramore, Edie Casey, Mary Heath, Tina Testen, Lora Tesh, Debbie and Brianne, Trish Kellar, Jill Hill, Sue Shorey, Laurie Hart, Liz Thurman, Linda Sidor, Ilene Harlicker, Carol Piper, Nancy Stuck, Mary Anderson, and Lori McLaughlin. You have all been a very small part of my life during these memorable years. I have enjoyed the shows, the kittens, the families, and most of all the Ragdoll. My life will never be the same without them. I will have Remington, Jesse, and Annie to keep here and love. I look forward to the upcoming years with these three and yet for a while I will feel lost without the others. The families who have my babies now are very important to me and I wish to continue to hear from you all and please send pictures. I will keep my website up and running for as long as I possibly can and will look daily for beautiful pictures and words describing your life with my babies. I thank all of you who have given of yourselves to take on the task of adopting my adults. I want only love and spoiling for each kitty here and believe that each of my kitties are receiving this love and spoiling. I will always have my pictures and my memories to keep me company in the days to come. God bless each of you and especially God Bless the Ragdoll cat.
