The following items are products that we that we use in our cattery and highly recommend to continue using with your new kitten. I suggest that you have these items ready, and in your home for when your new Rock Creek Ranch kitten arrives. Our focus is on the health and temperament of your new family member. We hope that you will find this information helpful in providing a positive adjustment, from our house to yours!
Food
Your kitten from Rock Creek Ranch Ragdolls is fed some of the best and healthiest grain free food. We utilize a mixture of three foods as their kibble, along with Stella & Chewy’s Freeze dried raw. Their favorite flavors are chicken or turkey, and the size, muscle tone, boning, and coat, shows just how healthy this food is. Our kittens LOVE to eat. There is not a picky eater in the house. We also supplement with Proviable probiotics, because just like humans, it provides healthy immune support.
Drinkwell Fountain
Your baby has been raised learning to d a Drinkwell Fountain with bottled water. Drinkwell has a free falling stream of water and charcoal filter, which removes bad tastes and odors, encouraging the cats/kittens to drink more water, therefore promoting better health.
While most people are aware of the human benefits of drinking enough water each day, many likely overlook the intake needs of their pets. Water is an essential element for both humans and pets alike, yet getting enough H2O can be challenging especially for our furry friends that prefer free-falling water to stagnant water in a traditional feeding bowl. As a caring pet owner, there is a solution to better ensure the proper hydration of your pet – it’s Drinkwell The Original Pet Fountain.
Drinkwell The Original Pet Fountain satisfies a pet’s preference for running water and need for proper hydration, while also serving as a convenience product for owners.
Nu Vet Supplement
We highly recommend using NuVet Feline Supplement. We use it with all of our cats and kittens, for optimal health. We believe, based on the most current medical, veterinarian and nutritional reports, NuVet Plus� will combat the onslaught of free radicalsin our companion pets. This unique formula consists of precise amounts of vitamins, minerals and high-potency antioxidantsthat when combined, create a synergistic and powerful boost to the immune system. Simply mix it in with the kittens dry food. To order:

Cat Claws
When you pick up your new kitten(s), you will receive a scratching pad from Cat Claws. Special glands in your cat’s paw pads release a scent during scratching, so scratching makes home smell like home! Your own home, your workplace, your parents’ home, your neighbor’s home, EVERY home has its own scent, and even we humans can tell the difference from house to house. Cats have a sense of smell that is far superior to ours! Your cat LOVES the comforting, familiar smell of his own scent throughout his home. Two purposes are served here: (1) a cat’s feelings of well-being and security are reinforced, and (2) your cat’s place in this world is fortified against intruders! Scratching is a cats natural instinct, but your baby has been trained to use these scratching pads from the time they leave their birthing box. They offer, toys, supplies, posts, and trees. Our cats and kittens love when the UPS man shows up at the door with a box from Cat Claws, and so will you!

Litter Box and Litter
We currently use the Tidy Cat Breeze litter box system. We have half our boxes filled with the cement pellets that comes with the system, and the other half filled with Feline Pine litter. Both these litters are non tracking, and have little to no dust.

Even though your kitten spends a large part of his/her day napping, it is important to have plenty of toys and furniture for them to play and sleep on. Just as we have our favorite chair to sleep on, a cat loves to have a high place to take a snooze. Toys keep you cat/kittens stimulated and keep the playful side of your Ragdoll, ready for fun! These are just a few of the many toys that are available for your cat/kitten to play with. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask us for our recommendations.
Microchip ID System Microchips
Over 20 million pets are lost every year. A registered microchip gives a pet the very best chance of a safe return home. The microchip is a lifetime insurance that almost guarantees the pet will not be euthanized or put up for adoption, if he/she is lost.
Microchip recovery networks handle well over 1000 recovery calls every day and are responsible for the safe return of millions of pets. We microchip all of our cats. We believe that in the event of accidental loss or natural disaster (like hurricane Katrina), you stand the best chance of reuniting quickly with your beloved family member.
All of our kittens are microchipped during their first well kitten check and vaccine. This provides your kitten a little insurance policy, and you some piece of mind.
