Esperanza Ragdoll Cat Breeder

The Southern Africa Cat Council Registered Member.

Esperanza Cattery breeds Ragdoll Cats. Contact Breeze Swartzberg for more information. Esperanza runs a small home-based, cage free, breeding programme registered with the Southern African Cat Council, The Cat Federation of Southern Africa and The Cat Association of Southern Africa. Their aim is to breed sweet-natured and well-nurtured Ragdoll kittens, raised underfoot, to be loved from the moment they are born, and to help them grow into floppy, affectionate kittens.

Before you contact Esperanza, there are a few things you should know. Cats are their passion and they treat them as family members. They witness all births and from their first moments, the kittens are part of their family. After a few months spent caring for the kittens it is incredibly difficult for them to give them to someone else, especially a stranger.

Therefore, they ask for a short introduction about yourself in your email to them. A questionnaire will then be forwarded to you. Please complete each question with as much detail as possible so they can get to know you a little better.

Please understand that they will not respond to an email stating, for example, “how much for the cat?”
