formerly "Bluebell Dolls"
... in the world of noble cats with blue eyes and a heavenly character.
Once you get to know her, you will love her forever. They cuddle into your heart and will never leave it.
The Bluebell Dolls and I are very happy about your visit and would like to give you an insight into our life and the breeding of the wonderful Ragdolls.
A look into my breeding – competence, quality & responsibility for over a decade
Since 2013, I have been dedicated to professional Ragdoll breeding with the utmost care – under the umbrella organization FIFé and the Austrian club KKÖ (previously under the name Bluebell Dolls).
My breeding animals come from healthy champion lines with excellent pedigrees and meet the international breed standard in every respect.
As a certified FIFé judge student (graduated with 97% – categories 1 & 2), I bring in-depth knowledge to my breeding work.
I am an active board member of the KKÖ and represent the Ragdoll breed in the international FIFé Breed Council.
I am also president of the Club for Ethical Ragdoll Breeding and Keeping – a project close to my heart that stands for transparency, responsibility, and animal welfare.
As a qualified animal welfare breeder, my focus is always on the best possible care and development of my animals.
Comprehensive health care is a matter of course – including annual HCM/PKD ultrasound for all breeding animals.
My breeding is conducted in accordance with Section 44 of the Animal Welfare Act and meets all the requirements of an officially veterinary-approved operation (Graz Municipality).
Due to the consistent focus on quality, the tax office classifies breeding as a hobby (permanently negative income) – not profit-oriented, but out of genuine passion.
Important information: Name change of my cattery
In recent years, my original cattery name, Bluebell Dolls, has been adopted several times – sometimes identically, sometimes in modified forms – by breeders around the world. Unfortunately, this was often done with the aim of profiting from the reputation and high quality of my breeding. The increasing risk of confusion, as well as the protection of my work and philosophy, prompted me to take a clear step.
Since 2025 my breeding has the new name:
Benda's (Ragdoll Cattery) – a name that stands not only for continuity, but also for identity and integrity.
I would like to thank all our companions and interested parties for their trust – under a new name, with the same standards of quality, ethics and dedication.
The last veterinary inspection of my breeding facility took place on February 25, 2025, as part of the approval process according to Section 23 in conjunction with Section 31 of the Animal Welfare Act.
To promote the sustainable health of the breed, a comprehensive program of measures has been implemented that goes far beyond the minimum legal requirements.
All breeding animals are subject to molecular genetic testing as well as annual cardiac and renal ultrasound examinations (HCM/PKD) and are fully suitable for breeding.
I have been breeding typical Ragdolls that meet the FIFé standard since 2013
in all recognized colors and patterns:
The four traditional colors Seal, Blue, Chocolate and Lilac as well as the modern colors: Red, Cream and Lynx (technically Lynx is a color and not a pattern).
I breed all three markings: Colorpoint, Mitted, and Bicolor. I'm especially proud of breeding the extremely rare True Bicolor (about 99% of all bicolor Ragolls shown are High Mitted and not True Bicolor—meaning they only look like bicolors, but are genetically Mitted).
My breeding animals are exclusively imported from excellent catteries or bred by myself. I specialize in breeding show and breeding animals ("show/breed"), but I also regularly have so-called "pets" (kittens sold as pets without exhibition or breeding rights) looking for a loving home.
I look forward to your message!
