When I first brought Fausty home, he was a little shy. I already had my other cat for 4 years prior to him, and he is a very big and scary cat. At first I tried to separate them, but it was a hassle, and after about a day, I decided to just let them meet to see what would happen. It wasn't long after I introduced them that they were getting along like old friends! The thing I really like about Fausty is that he's so very docile. You can pick him up and hold him and he never complains. He's also very playful and energetic and will play (show off) for hours with the right toy. I'm never lonely when doing the housework because he follows me everywhere, at all times! I suppose my only advice for future owners of Sue's ragdoll kittens is to watch your feet because they really like to help you do whatever your're doing! Since I've had such good luck with this kitty, I'm considering another one soon. It's a bit of a drive from Ames, Iowa
but given the good health and good nature of Beyond the Valleyragdolls kittens, it's definately worth the trip.

Dear Sue,
I wanted to let you know that Violet has been a perfect addition to our family. My children adore her. She has been the best Christmas present. Her temperament is amazing - she's so sweet, adaptable, and playful. She immediately dominated our 70lb German Wirehair Pointer. She even lets Violet eat his food. She gets carried around all day by my 3 year old, Flora. We joke that Violet will forget how to walk. We are continually impressed by her good nature and disposition. This is our first ragdoll, but I'm sure it won't be our last.Thank you so much for all your terrific help and the wonderful pictures. You made the adoption process a real pleasure. Our family couldn't be happier with the kitten or the process.

Petunia is such a great kitten! She is a beautiful blue cream tortie with the most gorgeous blue eyes and endearing personality. Petunia loves to be with our family, we have 3 kids, ages 13-6 and she loves to play with them and snuggle with all of us. She often "talks" to us when she wants to be held or would like some food, it is hilarious! She purrs endlessly, just seeing us walk towards her she starts to purr. Petunia is a sweetheart. Sue has been absolutely the greatest. From my first phone call to her, she listened to what we were looking for in a cat and helped me choose which of her available kittens would fit our family. She always took her time in answering my questions. When I came to get Petunia, she showed me her cattery. What a great place it is! One look, and I could tell her cats were of the utmost importance; and were very well cared for. I was able to see the newborn kittens; those that needed a little peace and quiet; and those getting ready for their new homes. They are so well taken care of, the kittens and the moms have a great living space. Before sending me on my way, Sue went over the paperwork, food and schedule, making sure I was well prepared when we got home. She has been here to answer questions as they arise. If you are looking for a ragdoll cat, look no further,
Sue and her kittens are worth every shiny penny.
