Latest news
What is happening between Bijou and Brontë, week by week
November 2026Nap time for two
The introductions between Bijou and Brontë are going at their own pace, without forcing anything. Things are moving along: here they are asleep together, curled up around each other on the same chair. Brontë is only seven months old, and we are letting her grow up.
Their genetic tests
The laboratory’s full reports, exactly as it issues them
Bijou’s DNA results
- 49 genetic diseases: 0 at risk, 0 carrier
- Blood type A/A
- No recessive colour gene: no chocolate, no dilute, no cinnamon
- Two copies of non-agouti: Bijou is not tabby; any tabby in the litter will come from Brontë

Brontë’s DNA results
- 49 genetic diseases: 0 at risk, 0 carrier
- Blood type A/A
- Chocolate carrier and dilute carrier
- A single copy of non-agouti: Brontë is tabby and passes it on to about one kitten in two

Side by side, the two reports are easy to read. Bijou and Brontë are clear of all 49 diseases tested, including Ragdoll HCM and PKD: their kittens cannot inherit any of these mutations. Both are blood type A/A: no kitten can be type B, and neonatal isoerythrolysis is out of reach for this pair. An echocardiogram will complete each parent’s screening before the litter.

The possible coat patterns
What the two parents’ genetics allow us to expect
Colour
Seal only
Bijou carries neither chocolate nor dilute: no kitten will be chocolate, blue or lilac. About one in two will carry chocolate, and one in two will carry dilute, without it showing.
The colours of the Ragdoll →Tabby
About one kitten in two
Brontë passes on agouti half the time, Bijou never does. A tabby (lynx) kitten has a striped mask, pale “spectacles” around the eyes and a ringed tail.
Brontë, our seal tabby →Pattern
Bicolour or mitted
Bijou and Brontë are both bicolour, and Brontë’s sire, Zooko, is mitted. Every kitten will have white; how it is spread becomes clear over the first weeks.
The distribution of white →Sex
Males and females
An even chance for each kitten. The number of kittens and the split will only be known at birth.
That makes eight possible combinations, each as a male or a female:
- Seal bicolour
- Seal tabby bicolour
- Seal mitted
- Seal tabby mitted
From kitten to adult
Seal bicolour
Seal tabby bicolour
Seal mitted
Seal tabby mitted
Ragdoll kittens are born almost white: colour appears in the first weeks and keeps developing for two to three years.

During 2027
The grandparents open on their breeders’ websites. The full pedigrees are on Bijou’s and Brontë’s profiles.
Save your place
The waiting list is free and without commitment. Tell us what you are hoping for, male or female, bicolour or mitted, tabby or not, and we will write to you as soon as the litter is announced. No priority can be bought.
Nothing is guaranteed before birth: the proportions on this page are probabilities, not promises. As for the date, it will depend on both parents’ health checks.
In the meantime, two useful reads: the LOOF’s official buying advice — the best foundation for preparing an adoption, with us or anywhere else — and their kitten-welcome booklet (both in French). The other official resources are gathered on the adoption process page.
Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most often. Each answer opens with a click.
Our first litters are expected during 2027, once our breeding cats have matured and their health screenings are complete. The waiting list is open, free and without commitment.
No. Our waiting list is free and without commitment. Its only purpose is to let you know when a litter is born, and it binds neither you nor us.
Yes. It receives its panleukopenia/cat flu injections at 8 and 12 weeks at the cattery, and leaves with its health record up to date. For kittens going abroad, the rabies vaccine and the 3rd injection are given here before departure. The full schedule is on the “Vaccination” page.
