Hi my name is Kari, I started this journey in 2005 caring for cats and kittens in a refuge setting at my home here in the Midwest. Over the next 15 years I hand-raised hundreds of  kittens, and provided care to local cats as well. Then, in 2020 we got our first Ragdoll and saw firsthand just how therapeutic and life-changing they are. In the search for a second Ragdoll I had a difficult time finding a both ethical and reputable breeder. That struggle inspired me to create a place where people could find their perfect kitten without all the difficulty and worry of  legitimacy and health concerns. Furthermore, I wanted to offer a fun and engaging experience for families in search of a kitten, rather than just a sale. I strive to foster life-long relationships between myself and kitty parents, and I’m happy to offer ongoing support if needed or desired. I have to mention here that I could not have accomplished all I have without the support of my family. I have five children, two of whom are still at home and help me run my cattery with hearts and arms full of love. Our ultimate goal here at CIRR is to provide every kitty parent with a seamless and fun experience. I hope my passion, dedication and appreciation for cats and kittens shines through in bold colors…and THANK YOU for being the BEST part of what we do!
