Hi, I’m Tamara!

My journey with Ragdolls began with Caraline, a sweet and affectionate Ragdoll who completely stole my heart. Her charm and unique personality sparked a passion for this incredible breed, one that quickly grew into a lifelong dedication. In 2016, I took the leap and started my own cattery, originally named "That Darn Cat - Ragdolls." Over time, my vision expanded, and in 2021, I rebranded as Shades of Sapphire Ragdolls, LLC. This change marked a new chapter, allowing me to bring in cats that beautifully reflect the Ragdoll breed standard. With this focus, I’ve worked to create one of Ohio’s premier Ragdoll catteries, driven by a deep love for these amazing cats and a commitment to preserving their extraordinary qualities.

Warmly,
