About Us
Who are you?
We are a husband and wife team (Tony & Kim), living the dream in being able to raise and work with these adorable and lovable cats. We are also working professionals by day with Tony serving active-duty in the armed forces, and Kim who holds a law degree working in the legal profession. Together, we pursued our interests in the cat fancy world, and KimuraDolls was created. We are dual registered with The International Cat Association "TICA" & the Cat Fanciers' Association "CFA." We ♥ the Ragdoll breed and we strive to promote and maintain the Ragdoll breed standards.
Where are you located?
We are currently located in the Hampton Roads area of Southeastern Virginia (Chesapeake, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, etc.), about 20 minutes from the North Carolina border. We will be in this area until Spring 2023 at which point we will be relocated to a new area again. Prior to this, we were in the Northeast Ohio area from 2017-2020.

Breeding Program
How are your kittens raised?
We handraise our kittens from birth. When momma cats are in labor, we stay by her side throughout the entire process, assisting when needed, especially if mom needs a break, so we may help her clean kittens and keep her birthing area clean.
At what age do your Ragdoll kittens leave you?
Our Ragdoll kittens will be available to go home with their new families between 12-14 weeks, depending on assessment. The idea of waiting until the kitten is 3 months is daunting on families who may be impatient and are struggling with the excitement of adding a new furry member into their family household (we know). But this age requirement is not only industry standard, it is in the best interest of the kitten. During the first 3 months of their lives, they are still developing emotionally, mentally, and physically. By waiting until they are ready to leave the nest, you are avoiding any potential problems that typically associate with an early separated kitten. But rest assured, we will do our best to take lots of pictures and videos so you can still be a part of their growing lives while you wait!
Will I receive my kitten unaltered (whole) or altered (spayed/neutered)?
We have a strict policy on practicing early spay / neuter on our Ragdolls before they go home to their new families. This means that your Ragdoll will have already been spayed / neutered by a licensed veterinarian, prior to coming home with you. We not only want to prevent irresponsible breeding, but we also want to make sure that your kitten comes home and is ready to come home and be a kitten without the burden of you having to take time off of work / school / etc. for the kitten's spay / neuter procedure and healing time. If you are concerned about early spay / neuter, I encourage you to read this article (http://cfa.org/Owners/CatCare/SpayNeuter/EarlySpayNeuter.aspx) about a study done on early spay / neuter. Early spay / neuter has no negative effects on the kitten's development.
