Our Story


Behind The Name​
The name "River Haze" was created based on two things; our first Ragdoll Sire, and our Firstborn. 'River' is the name we had chosen for our first Sire Ragdoll, and 'Haze' is short for our firstborn daughter Hazel who was 6 months old when we started this venture.

Behind The Cats ​
We are a team of four; husband + wife (Steve + Kaitlin) with 2 young children. We both grew up in households that adore animals. Kaitlin grew up in Toronto, Canada and owned and operated a ragdoll cattery with her mother from 2013-2018 when she married her husband and moved to USA. In 2020, we welcomed our first daughter and 6 months later established our new cattery.
​
Behind The Cattery​
We’ve poured our hearts and souls into building an ethical and responsible cattery. Every Ragdoll in our breeding program is carefully selected to meet the highest breed standards, ensuring quality, health, and temperament. We are deeply grateful to the breeders who have trusted us with their Ragdolls, allowing us to uphold the integrity of our program.
All of our cats are DNA tested through Wisdom Panel, and our facilities are maintained at the highest standard of cleanliness with professional weekly deep disinfectant cleanings to provide a safe and healthy environment for every cat and kitten in our care.
