Scroll down to read about the home and family, both human and furry, behind the Truly Scrumptious Ragdolls... ✿
About Our Home
We are situated on 10 acres in subtropical Northland of beautiful New Zealand. We are on a coastal, beach front property out in the country, surrounded by farms and bush, a completely safe place for our kittens to grow up in!
About Me
My name is Michelle Amie Thackwray, although everyone just calls me 'Micki'
I was born on the 20th of February 1992 and have been breeding Ragdolls since I was 14 years old.
I was born in New Zealand and have lived in the same place my whole life! Although I have lived in Fiji several times during my childhood.
=^..^=
I have always had a strong love and passion for animals - growing up surrounded by them.
I got my first cat, a male grey tabby, called 'Tiffany', when I was just four years old - the first of many other pets!
I bred and sold mice when I was about 6, moving onto Seal Point Californian Rabbits, when i was about 9.
I was always hand rearing small animals, baby birds, rabbits, possums.. even a ferret! I hand reared my first new-born kitten when I was 12.
I really love breeding Ragdolls - even though it can be extremely hard work and stressful, it is always worth it when you place the most beautiful, perfect kittens into homes which you have hand picked and know that the kittens are going to live the best lives possible and that the family's are going to love their kitten so much.
I am so proud of my kittens and love them all so much. My favorite thing is when the new families tell me how perfect their scrumptious kittens are when they go to their new homes - makes everything worth it!! :)
=^..^=
Breeding Ragdolls is my passion, my hobbie - something I just really really love to do.
I also love to do anything that involves animals, like running and playing with my dogs, riding my horses and as I live on the beach, anything to do with water!!
I work for See and Do New Zealand, New Zealand's leading tourism video company, and for Promotional Videos, a company who produces web videos.
I do videography, photography, editing, design (both web and print), directing and modeling.
Unless I am out filming, I can work from home, on my computer - so am pretty much always home with my kittens!!
