Mink Ragdoll | Mink Ragdoll Kittens


Replace July 2024:

Beginning Could 1, 2025, TICA will acknowledge mink, sepia, and stable giant semi-longhaired cats of the average kind as Cherubim (CB), and now not as BEP (blue eyed pointed) Ragdolls (RD).

Cherubim distinguishes them from the Ragdoll (RD), a big semi-longhair, blue-eyed pointed cat of average kind.

Kristin Demko of CottonBlues Ragdolls who sits on the Ragdoll Breed Committee for the Ragdoll breed for TICA stated: “CFA and FIFE don’t register minks, sepias, and solids as a result of Ragdolls have at all times been a blue-eyed pointed breed from the time they have been accepted as a purebred for registration. And even in TICA, they’re a DQ and might’t be proven for authentic titles and awards. So, on Could 1, 2025, these cats will probably be modified to their very own breed, Cherubim, and will probably be acknowledged and legitimized as purebred and might compete for titles and awards below the title Cherubim. Accountable breeders take into account pedigrees and lineage when breeding and persist with a regular so we will protect the breed. With out that, we wouldn’t have a breed. Whereas it’s true that outcrossing came about to usher in sure colours like lynx, reds, torties, and in some instances the chocolate gene, you will discover lots of the basis cats that helped to convey these colours in, a minimum of 20 to 25 years again within the pedigree. And so long as these colours are blue-eyed pointed cats with a legit pedigree and paperwork, they meet the Ragdoll normal and are purebred Ragdolls. I hope individuals can embrace the change as a step in the suitable path for each Ragdolls and the brand new breed Cherubim. The Cherubim have intentionally been bred towards the Ragdoll normal, so now BOTH can have a regular to breed in the direction of so each breeds of cats may be preserved.”

For a real show-quality Ragdoll with TICA, the pointed markings are a should.

So, what’s a Mink Ragdoll anyway?
