Thank you visiting “AAA Class Act” Shades of Sapphire Ragdolls-Where Cherubim’s & Ragdolls Redefine Feline Royalty. We raise Ragdoll and Cherubim kittens that combine champion bloodlines, health, and beauty with the gentle, loving personalities that make this breed so special.
Registered with TICA under our prefix “AAAClassAct”, our cattery is lovingly known as Shades of Sapphire Ragdolls. Both names represent the same cattery, the same kittens, the same care, the same heart.

🐾 Our Adoption Process
We keep things simple, transparent, and fair — while rewarding our most committed families with early access through our Priority Notification List.
Complete our adoption application so we can learn more about you, your home, and what you’re looking for in a Ragdoll companion.
We carefully review each application to ensure the best possible match between our kittens and their future families. Approval is based on compatibility, preparedness, and alignment with our breeding program so we can ensure the best lifelong match for both kitten and family— not on timing or availability.
Once approved, families may:
Receive early announcements when kittens become available
Be invited to join our Priority Notification List (optional)
Or wait for public availability when applicable
Submitting an application does not guarantee a kitten, placement, or priority access. It is the first step in a transparent, relationship-based adoption process.
Approved families may be invited to join our Priority Notification List, a private program designed for families who have completed our application process and have been approved.
This program offers early access to kitten announcements before public availability and helps us plan responsibly for each litter.
Please note:
Enrollment is not open to the public. Invitation links are sent directly by Shades of Sapphire Ragdolls to approved families only.
What Priority Notification Provides
• Early Access – View available kittens up to 72 hours before public announcements
• First Alerts – Receive email or text notifications when reservations open
• Applied Credit – The Priority enrollment fee is credited toward your kitten deposit if you move forward
• Thoughtful Planning – Helps us match kittens carefully and responsibly with the right families
Important Disclosures
• Priority Notification does NOT guarantee a kitten
• It does NOT reserve a specific kitten
• Invitations are extended at the breeder’s discretion
• Enrollment is non-refundable
• Families who do not join Priority may still adopt through public availability when openings allow
Enrollment is by private invitation only. Approved families will receive instructions directly from Shades of Sapphire Ragdolls when eligible.
Step 3 – Preview at 6 Weeks
At around 6 weeks old, we share kitten photos and updates.
Priority Families: Receive a private password to view the full gallery of kittens and may indicate their preferences. Preferences do not hold a kitten — reservations open officially at 8 weeks.
Public: We share teaser photos on social media to celebrate the litter, while full details remain exclusive to Priority families until reservations open.
Step 4 – Reservation at 8 Weeks
At 8 weeks old, kittens officially open for reservation.
Priority Families: Have a 72-hour early access window to share their preferences, and place their $250 non-refundable deposit and move forward with personality-based placement
Public: After the 72-hour Priority window closes, remaining kittens may be reserved by approved families through the same thoughtful placement process.
Our Approach: While families are encouraged to express preferences and participate in choosing their kitten, final placements are guided by temperament, household fit, and overall compatibility to ensure the best long-term match for both kitten and family.
Fairness: No kitten is held without a deposit.
Step 5 – Gotcha Day (14-16 Weeks)

TICA registration papers & pedigree
