I have been dedicated to the breeding and preservation of the Ragdoll for over 11 years and recently have become
more and more concerned about the use of the breed by irresponsible breeders out crossing to other breeds and 
producing variant kittens without any thought of the implications it has on the Ragdoll

In recent months we have noticed that there have been many adverts in cat magazines and various online adds
claiming that Ragamuffin kittens are being produced at a low cost, when in fact the kittens being produced
are nothing more than variants! We have also heard of breeders putting un registered Ragdolls to Siberians
claiming that those kittens to are RagaMuffins! which is totally untrue.

The Ragamuffin is a bona fide breed in itself and although still quite rare, is recognised by most cat registering
bodies throughout the world. At this point in time GCCF do not recognize the breed which is giving the breeders
of the variants free range to do whatever they want and call the offspring that they are producing whatever they want

Here at Filensio we are determined to protect the Ragdoll as well as the RagaMuffin as two separate breeds and as such
are working within a group of experienced breeders so that they both are protected against unscrupulous breeding
practices that could adversely affect both breeds in the UK

By Importing and promoting the 'Authentic' RagaMuffin in the UK, producing strict registration and breeding policies
along with standards of points, and by seeking recognition of the RagaMuffin name with the GCCF we feel that this is
the way forward to ensure that the two breeds, although having common ancestry are in fact two separate and
completely different breeds of cat. ( at this point all authentic RagaMuffins available for purchase in the UK will be
registered with the ACFA. The American Cat Fanciers Association)

For many years and because of our love of the Ragdoll and its origins, the RagaMuffin has been a great source of interest
and it is for this reason, that we have decided to fulfil our ambition to import the breed into the UK. We are, as I'm sure
 others will be, captivated by the wide spectrum of coat and eye colour that can be produced within the breed and a long
with the wonderful laid back Rag temperament we hope that we can produce, in our opinion the purrr-fect feline
  as well as preserving the Ragdoll as it should be- Blue Eyed, Colourpointed and not solid!  which we all know and love

The first RagaMuffin will be arriving in December 2008 and is a solid blue and white, the next group of Muffins will be
arriving in early spring 2009, colours included will be Mink, dominant and dilute, Torties, silver tabbies and smokes.
