I seriously doubt that anyone that has not had the pleasure of having a Ragdoll could ever understand the level of enthusiasm with which we talk about our babies. I am privileged enough to be owned by two Ragdolls. Georgie, my three-year-old cream bicolor, and Jesse, my one and a half year old, SIXTEEN POUND, seal bi-color. When Georgie and I moved to PA, I decided that he needed a “baby” to keep him company while I was at work. I visited a few breeders in my area and then heard about Joyce. I drove from Stroudsburg down to Lancaster to “check her cattery out”. After spending about two minutes in Joyce’s home, I knew that I had to have one of her babies. Luckily for me, a few weeks after my visit, Joyce e-mailed me and told me that there was a little male seal bi-color available. This was my “Jesse”. He is such a “lover”!! He and Georgie get along so well. Every evening when I get home, they are both at the door to greet me. Jesse proceeds to tell me about their day as he “herds” me to the kitchen and the drawer where the treats are kept. If I lie down on the couch, Jesse jumps up on me and becomes my “leg warmer”. When Jesse comes into a room that I am in, he drops down, rolls over onto his back, and waits for “tummy rubs”. If I take him to the Vet’s, the technicians take him from me and pass him around for “1oves”. Every person that sees Jesse wants to “kidnap” him because he is so beautiful ... I mean handsome. I am so fortunate that I found Joyce. I know that when it’s time for another baby, I will find a perfect one with her. Sara Grace We went to buy a kitten from Joyce, somehow we ended up with two of them. They were so lovable and adorable that we wanted another one and went back but couldn't decide which one we wanted so we picked out two more. We have a female, Miss Dolly, she is quite a lady except for the times when she decides to romp with the younger boys. Then we have our boy, Bo, he has the biggest blue eyes and the longest tail. He is a clown and keeps us laughing all the time. He entertains himself with any small toy for long periods of time. The two youngest boys are brothers, we call them Buddy and Blue. They are our cuddlers and have the sweetest natures. Blue loves to steal our chairs as soon as we get off of them for a moment, he actually seems to grin and say- "HAHA, I got your chair!-" Buddy is a talker, he meows if he wants a closed door opened so he can explore. We call him our little dog because he always greets us at the door when we come home. And they all follow us around the house, up and down the steps, to the bathroom or the sunroom. Both Buddy and Blue love to snuggle under the covers with us at times. And Miss Dolly and Bo like to sleep on our feet. These cats have brought so much joy and fun into our lives, I can't imagine life without them. Gloria

So many cute, lovable ragdolls, so little time. When we visited Joyce for the first time we fell in love with all the cats and kittens who live there. What a difficult decision it is to pick out just one cute kitten. They're all adorable. We already have one ragdoll, Romeo, whom we felt needed a pal. We waited for a seal pointed and when joyce told us one was available we went to check him out. Instant love. Meiko is a healthy, social and extremely loving kitten. He easily fit into our household. He loves to cuddle next to my wife every night and loves to sit on her lap and be spoiled with lots of petting and chin rubs. He follows me from room to room and especially likes to help me with my crossword puzzles. He takes my pen, knocks it on the floor and entertains himself for long periods of time by chasing it across our hardwood floors. We couldn't be happier with our choice. Visit Jazzmania Ragdolls, you won't be disappointed.

I've done quite a bit of research on Ragdoll Cats and was referred to Jazzmania's Cattery by another breeder.  I was originally interested in the Blue Mitted coloring, but when I spoke to Joyce Houser (owner of Jazzmania Cattery) she was wondering if I'd be interested in a blue bi-color kitten that was available at that very time!  I traveled to her home and that VERY day a blue bi-color kitten went home with me!         We have named him "Lord Bentley of Linglestown".  However, he goes by "Bentley"!  My husband and I are thrilled with Bentley.  He has the BEST personality and he is so playful and loving.  I had read many things about Ragdolls and they all seem to be 100% accurate.  They are very loving, gentle, sweet, non-shedding animals.  I was also pleasantly surprised that Bentley was so well-trained on using his scratching post.  Growing up we had always had declawed cats.  My husband does not believe in getting cats declawed and I was really amazed at how Bentley is so good about not clawing anything!  He uses his scratching posts religiously.         Bentley is a GREAT addition to our family.  We ADORE him and I couldn't be happier with chosing Jazzmania Cattery.  Joyce is very knowledgeable, extremely helpful and you really feel that you are getting a healthly, well-trained, loveable animal!  I have forwarded pictures of Bentley to my friends and I now have three other families inquiring about getting a ragdoll.  This breed is awesome and if you are looking at this WEBSITE you really need to get one for yourself! Sally Name: Ian (Seal Bicolor) Owners: Allen & Annette "In Heaven I will have ragdoll cats" Siamese cats have always been my favorite breed...that is until I bought my first Ragdoll. Ian, at 15 months and approximately 16 lbs., is the love of our lives. When I first contacted Joyce regarding a new Ragdoll, I told her I wanted a blue mitted female. We went to view the kittens and I was thrilled that we had to take our shoes off before entering her immaculate home and then wash our hands before we could get near the babies. I knew then that we were with a caring and qualified breeder. The kittens were adorable and the adult cats so beautiful that they took your breath away. I quickly changed my mind about the blue female when Ian walked right over to my husband and stood on his foot and looked up at him as if to say....Hi, here I am." It was love at first sight and he has turned out to be the funniest cat. He runs through the house "zooming"...that is the only way we can describe the sound he makes when he zooms around corners and into a room. He greets us at the door and flops for a back scratch or belly rub. He follows me everywhere and will lay across my legs and purr or comes up and gives kisses. He gets along famously with my other sealpoint male, Nigel. The Ragdoll breed is as much fun as the Siamese without all the bad "things" Siamese do. I will always have a Ragdoll....the best breed I have ever owned. Ragdolls are truly lovable gentle giants and I recommend them to everyone. An additional comment about Joyce - she has always been there when I have had a question and truly cares about each kitten that is adopted. She is the best breeder I have ever dealt with in 35 years.      Misty (a.k.a. Snowball) is without a doubt the best, most loving, most beautiful, and most fantastic cat we have ever had. We have had a cat or two in our house every year for the last 30 years. We had two cats that were litter mates, not siblings, and one died about18 months ago. I thought that she, Sasha, was the best ever. When she died it was like a sister or mother of mine had died.      When we brought Misty home, he was into and onto everything he could find. He was immediately the dominant cat at 10 weeks, while our other cat, Meeko, hid in a corner. They are now good friends, but Misty is still dominant. He follows us to any room we sit in and just loves to beheld and brushed. He has a face like a movie star. My wife. (who didn’t want another cat), cannot get over what a wonderful pet and companion he is.      Besides being sweet and beautiful, Misty is very smart. I won’t go into all the tricks he can do or how much he seems to understand. I told my children that I am changing the will and everything’s going to their "brother," Misty...Just Kidding! Richard I had lost my Jazz of 18 years to chronic renal failure. The house felt so empty despite still having Missy (the stray cat that adopted me) and Ellie the Lhasa Apso. I always had multiple cats and Missy and I were both missing another cat. I knew I wanted a great big loving lap cat as Missy is only 5 pounds full grown. So, I started doing some research about cats on the internet. I came upon the Ragdoll breed and thought that was exactly what I was looking for. Then I did a search for breeders and guess what came up – “Jazzmania”. What could I do? I went and visited with Joyce and her kitties and felt sad that I could not come home with a kitty. Luckily she still had some kittens available but they wouldn’t be ready for 4 more weeks. Joyce was so patient with me and allowed me to visit twice to try to pick which kitten I wanted. Shy little Livvie would barely come out of the bathroom! But, she was the one. Now, after 6 weeks in her new home she is anything but shy. The Ragdoll has been called a “puppy-cat” and Livvie is a prime example. She loves to play and fetches better than the dog! She loves to be held just like a baby, cradled in my arms. She is a constant companion as she follows me wherever I go, and greets me the moment I enter the house. I guess that is why she has come to be called “Livvie Love”! I recommend Joyce and her “Rags” to anyone looking for a special new addition to their home. Marie             "Benny "The Jet" is just stunning, the spitting image of his mother Miss Muff. People often remark that he is the cutest cat they've ever seen. We couldn't be happier with him. Joyce was accurate in all her descriptions of the breed. Benny is very affectionate, giving us "kisses" every morning and greeting us at the door each night! He loves to play and fetches just like a dog. We highly recommend Joyce and Jazzmania Cattery - we had a wonderful experience and you won't be disappointed!!!" Michele and Emerson         My name is Meg, and my fiance Justin  came home with little Frosty.  I just wanted to let you know how much excitement and joy he has brought into the family.  I find myself so distraught when I have to leave him at home. He has fit into our lifestyles perfectly and I can't imagine my life without him.  He is sitting right by the computer watching me type this, following the mouse. He is so healthy and so interested in everything.  I have him trained that when he cries because he wants to be picked up, he sits and lifts his paws up!!  I really just wanted to thank you so much for such a great kitten and such a great family member! Sincerely, Meg
