Welcome to Equinox Cats!
A Small Family Cattery in Arizona, Breeding Beautiful and Loving Cherubim Ragdolls for Your Home.
Why Choose a Ragdoll?
A Perfect Fit for Any Lifestyle
Ragdolls are not only known for their affectionate nature but also for their adaptability. They thrive in various living situations, whether you have a bustling family, are a busy professional, or live in a quieter space. Their moderate energy level means they enjoy playful moments but also appreciate lounging by your side. Ragdolls are typically less vocal than other breeds, making them a peaceful addition to your home. Additionally, their luxurious fur requires minimal grooming, making them easier to care for. With their enchanting personalities and low-maintenance needs, Ragdolls make an excellent choice for anyone seeking a loving feline companion that fits seamlessly into their lifestyle.
What is a Cherubim Ragdoll?
Cherubim are a new breed group designated by TICA’s to differentiate from traditional Ragdolls. They have the same sweet temperament and type as traditional Ragdolls, but their coats are mink, sepia, or solid (non-pointed), so body color is richer and eye color is usually aqua or gold/green rather than blue. Traditional Ragdolls are the blue-eyed, pointed cats seen in colorpoint, mitted, and bicolor patterns. At Equinox Cats, we specialize in Cherubim and clearly label each kitten so families know exactly what they’re getting.
