About Hallmark Ragdolls

Hallmark Ragdolls is located in the Santa Clarita area of California, USA, just northeast of Los Angeles. We operate a humane, clean facility and care intensely about the welfare of our beloved underfoot cats and kittens.

Owner Ellen has been breeding Ragdoll cats for over 25 years. She personally knew Ann Baker, who founded the Ragdoll cat breed in the 1960s. Ellen strives to keep Hallmark Ragdolls' breed conformation in line with the breed's best: friendly, laid-back personalities; large size; deep, brilliant blue eyes; broad, full faces; solid bone structure; and perfection in markings. She loves the breed so much that she aided many of California's Ragdoll breeders in starting their own breeding programs in order to promote the joy of Ragdoll ownership. Many of them purchased their own foundation stock from Ellen.

Ellen has not been active in showing her own Ragdolls in the past but may be considering doing so in the future. She strongly encourages those customers who have shown their Ragdolls to contact us and share their accomplishments with us and our visitors.

Marco of Marcoz Photoz is a professional studio photographer who enjoys aiding Ellen with care of her cattery. He provided most of the photos for this site and is available to take professional photos of your family and pets. Those who breed or show animals in the Los Angeles area may be particularly interested in his services. Marco's email is marcozphotoz @ yahoo.com (remove the spaces in the email address).

Webmaster Paula was originally a customer of Hallmark Ragdolls. She liked Ellen so much that she offered to create and maintain this website for her. She answers all email enquiries and helps Hallmark Ragdolls by fostering kittens until they're ready for either customers or the breeding program.

Mark, Larry, and Dina all help Hallmark Ragdolls with care of our on-site cats and kittens. As you can see, a cattery requires the help of many devoted volunteers who want to spread the love of the Ragdoll breed! Hallmark Ragdolls appreciates the efforts of all who help!
