About Us and Our Cattery

We are Sharon Ann and Robert Paradis and we have a small Ragdoll cattery in central Maine. We chose the name Orchid for our cattery because we grow orchids along with breeding Ragdolls.

Our Cattery is registered under the name Orchid with ACFA (American Cat Fanciers Association, Inc.), CFF (Cat Fanciers' Federation) and TICA (The International Cat Association, Inc.) and we are registered with CFA (Cat Fanciers' Association, Inc.) as Orchid Rags.  We are members of CFF and TICA; Breed Council members of CFA, Breeders of Distinction and Founding Members of RFW (Ragdoll Fanciers Worldwide), Founding Members of RBC (Ragdoll Breed Club), members of RFCI (Ragdoll Fanciers Club International), and RFC (Ragdoll Fanciers' Club).

All of our cats are registered with ACFA, CFA, CFF, and TICA, as are all of our litters.

Our proven Sires are: Champion B&B's Ragdolls Masdevallia McGyver of Orchid, Double Grand Champion Orchid Miltonia Mosby and Orchid Trichopilia Brutus.

Our breeding Queens are: Champion Mainely Rags Boule de Neige of Orchid,  Champion Mainely Rags Eria Amber Flutterby of Orchid, sisters Champion Orchid Zygopetalum Dolly and Orchid Promenaea Polly and Bellapalazzo Jazmyn of Orchid.

Two of our alters have achieved the title of Supreme Grand Champion Alter in TICA, Orchid Fibber McGee and Regional Winner Orchid Habinaria Harriet.

Our Ragdolls live with us and enjoy all the luxuries of a retired couple.  Because our Ragdolls are first and foremost our pets it allows us to control the number of litters produced and most importantly socialize the new kittens.
