Welcome to Sunny Shores Cattery

                                         Sunny Shores is a small, home based cattery located on the beautiful central east coast of Florida.  The cattery is owned and operated by myself, Rachel Zimmer, a veterinary technician since 1996. I  have been breeding Ragdolls since 2000.  In my cattery kittens play free and are raised underfoot in my home with the rest of my cat family and with Tosca and Flower, the ferrets.  Health and temperament are my #1 goals.  Kittens come to the veterinary clinic with me everyday beginning at 6 weeks of age to get them used to a carrier and car rides.  This is also an important step in early socialization since my co-workers LOVE playing with kittens! 

I believe a cat should be an integral part of the family, sharing in every day activities such as dinner time or nap time.  Cats should greet visitors at the front door and in my home they do!  Just come for visit and you'll see!!  I offer some of the very best in well socialized and lovable cats.

All of my kittens are placed in their new homes with a five year genetic guarantee, registration paperwork, a completed series of kitten vaccines, a Florida State Health Certificate, spay/neuter, and microchipping (available upon request).

2010, I am very proud to be ACFA's Ragdoll breed chair person.  I dedicate myself to the Ragdoll breed whole heartedly and look forward to my role in this position.

 

What's going on this season??

SunnyShores Josephine Baker (left) and SunnyShores Billie Holiday (right).  These two sisters were born in March of 2011, they started this show season off in TICA as kittens.  It's going to be fun to watch them grow!

SunnyShores Alien, the most loving cat you will ever meet.  She is the official greeter here at the cattery, you can't walk in the door without getting a kiss from Alien.  Since Alien does not meet the "standard" she is shown as a house hold pet or HHP.  In this division being outgoing and playful with loads of purring gets a cat lots of ribbons!  HHP is loads of fun for both Alien and me!!

And yes Alien continues on this 2011-2012 season.  She will be showing in TICA this year. Currently she is a Quadruple Grand Master working her way to Supreme!!  *Update* Thanks to wonderful judge, Steve Lawson, Alien received her best cat award at the Skyway show in August 2011.  She is now a TICA Supreme!  Hoo-ray Alien!!!

The cattery is open to visitors by appointment.
