Kathleen is so sweet and I bought one of her babies, she has been very thorough with all the papers that come with the baby. Our little guy is Smokey he is so playful, with my other fur babies.
I feel lucky I found her. Thank you Kathleen for everything.
We absolutely loved this experience! This was our first time purchasing from a breeder and was definitely worth the wait! Our new kitten Lucy Lou is amazing- such a princess & everything we hoped for!
My husband and I have been to 4-5 breeders’ houses before we decided on getting a baby from AZ House of Rags. Kathleen breeds ragdolls with love. She has a beautiful house and all the animals live happily together. I am so so so happy with the ragdoll baby I purchased from Kathleen. The kitten is very healthy, well socialized and abusolutely loving. I would get another kitten from her again if I don’t already have 4 cats at home. ;)
Kathleen is wonderful! She breeds the most loving, sweet, playful cats and helped us pick our perfect kitten. Our new girl, Chiyo, is everything I ever wanted in a ragdoll! Cannot recommend this breeder enough!
Kathleen had done a wonderful job. We got our kitten as promised. The process is smooth and easy. Definitely we recommend Arizona House of Rags to anyone would like to have a ragdoll. They are awesome Thank you, Kathleen!
Kathleen really cares for and loves all of her kittens. She contacted us regularly on our chosen kitten up to the day of the adoption. .
We love our AZ House of Rags Ragdoll. Aerosmith has been a wonderful addition to our family.
As a fellow breeder of Ragdolls, I have been to see Kat many time. All rags are free-range and the house looks like a toy store for cats. She is a wonderful person and I have been trying to adopt her husband for 2 years.
A week ago I was able to pick up my 2nd Ragdoll from Kathleen at AZ House of Rags.
Again, an outstanding experience both easy and professional.
My new baby kitten is gorgeous, as are all of her beautiful cats. I would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone looking for a pedigree kitten that is socially ready and will happily transition into your family situation.
Thank you so very much Kathleen 😘👌🏻
If you’re looking for a Responsible professional breeder who is compassionate, dedicated look no further. As a ragdoll breeder myself I sell very few breeder kitties . It was an honor to have our bloodline Associated with Arizona house of rags. Kat and Jay are one of the best Professional breeders in the business. By all means don’t take my word for it check her out and you will feel the same way I do. She’s the best of Arizona, probably one of the best in the country. There are not enough stars.
Love & Peace

Several years ago I was introduced to the Ragdoll breed at a family pet fair in Pomona, CA it was love at first sight. I had it set in my heart to some day have a Floppy Cat of my own, and now the trimming was finally right I was ready to begin my search for a kitty. I looked into rescue services as well as attempting to contact breeders in my area, I became very frustrated and somewhat discouraged until I came across Kathleen Nickeson's Arizona House of Rags, when I contacted her for the first time I was pleasantly surprised that she actually answered the phone and was openly willing to take the time to answer all my inquisitive questioning, she had a kind and patient tone in her voice and she didn't rush the conversation in any way, and she never pushed me into making a decision regarding the purchase of a kitten, she talked with me like she was talking with a friend and gave me all the information and input I needed regarding her beautiful Ragdolls and her background as a breeder. Being that I live in CA, it was important to be able to go to her home and pick up the kitten and Kathleen was more than happy to allow me to do so, that was very important criteria in making my decision to go through her or any other breeder. I wanted to personally see where my kitten came from and I wanted to personally meet the person raising my kitten. Kathleen and I corresponded on multiple occasions before and after the kitten was borne she even sent me pics and short video's updating me on the progress of the kitten. Oh I was so excited I felt like a new mom and finally the day came to pick her up, it was love at first sight she is the sweetest and most beautiful kitten I've ever seen, I just adore my Floppy kitty. Kathleen was warm and welcoming to my mom and I, she greeted us with such kindness. She has a lovely home very neat and clean you would never know she had one cat let alone multiples. I am forever grateful that Kathleen answered my call that first day when I was searching for a kitty I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience and my kitten is fast becoming the love of not only my life but the love of my doggies, my family's and neighbors as well. Yes, I take my kitty to visit my neighbor's their cat lovers and they couldn't wait to meet my her. With that I have to thank Kathleen from the bottom of my heart for making a longtime dream of a floppy kitten come true, thank you and God bless sincerely
Kathleen and Az House of Rags were a dream come true! I had wished for a Ragdoll of my own from the time I was a little girl and Kathleen worked so hard to help give our family two little ladies of our dreams! Kathleen has a wonderful home that she has truly devoted to her passion of breeding and raising Ragdoll cats and kittens of exceptional quality. She knows exactly how to raise and care for these kittens because when we got them home it was clear that they were well socialized and would easily integrate into our family. Kathleen was so easy to talk to, helpful, and kept us updated on our kittens with texts, pictures, and videos and allowed our family of five to come visit anytime to bond with our fur babies. We are so happy with our two lovely Ragdoll kittens... for us it was well worth the money and wait as we know we will have them with us for a long time. The kittens get along so well with our 3 young girls, and even my husband is bewitched. Thank you so much, Kathleen! You and AZ House of Rags are a diamond in the rough for your dedication, hard-work, and service. We can’t say enough about your breeding program, Mama and Dad cats, your home, and the kittens that you raise. )
Kathleen was the most polite and informational lady for the business. My Sat visit with her was as friendly as one could expect. She has a clean beautiful home for the critters. She runs a VERY professional Ragdoll business.
We brought home our lovable floppy cat “Phineas the Brave” on 11/7/20. He is stunning!! A handsome blue lynx point. Kathleen was incredibly kind, helpful, and patient with us throughout the process as this was our first family cat. We came across Ragdolls from my first grader’s school library book and we were hooked on them. We are so thrilled with just how loving and fluffy Phineas is. We were so careful and slow to introduce him to his new big house and beagle brother but he is absolutely the most comfortable, happy, loving kitten. He wants to cuddle the dog on the couch, is adventurous and playful, and is definitely FLOPPY- loves to be held and cuddled. We recommend AZ House of Rags- not just for the beautiful kittens but also bc Kathleen was great to work with. She did a wonderful job raising a happy healthy kitten in a clean, very social environment!
I purchased 2 beautiful ragdoll brothers from Kathleen at Az House of Rags and I couldn’t be happier! They are the sweetest, fluffiest, most perfect kitties (I’m not kidding). Not to mention how amazing and kind Kathleen was through the process. She went out of her way on a few occasions to accommodate my personal situation and last minute decision of wanting 2 kitties instead of 1 with no issues! I’m so in love with Henry and Louie; although I think they are more in love with each other! This was the best decision I’ve ever made. Highly, HIGHLY recommend going through AZ House of Rags if you’re thinking of getting a ragdoll kitten! 🐱 💕
I did a lot of research before I choose a breeder and I am so happy I choose Arizona House of Rags. Kathleen takes great pride in breeding the best ragdolls. She truly cares about you taking home a healthy and we’ll socialized kitten. You can tell she really cares about the breed. Her house is very clean and I love how she lets all her kittens and cats have free roam of her home. She was always willing to send me pictures and videos upon request and at times sent them on her own. She welcomes you to come visit anytime to see her home or your kitten. She was very communitive during the whole time from our very first contact to pick up of our kittens. I definitely recommend getting two kittens from her at the same time. So happy we did. I highly recommend her and if we ever get another kitten I would go back to Arizona House of Rags.
3 months ago We got the ragdoll kitten of our dreams through Kathleen at Arizona house of rags and could not be happier with the entire process. We were welcome to visit our little fur baby on the weekends and Kathleen always made us feel like family. All of her kittens are super socialized and extremely loving, they are the definition of a true ragdoll. Our little guy had no problems adjusting to our house because he was allowed to roam and be free from the start at Kathleens. Her house was always clean and never once smelled of cats. She breeds out of pure love of the ragdoll breed and it shows. Our sweet boy was worth every penny and we wouldn't think twice about going through Arizona house of rags in the future for another addition to our family ❤ thank you Kathleen!
Had a wonderful experience breeder is very knowledgeable easy to talk to. Cats a big beautiful and healthy very sweet quality rags

Authentic RAGDOLLS !
This has been an extremely pleasurable experience from the start! I was looking for a cattery that knew its stuff and Kathleen Definitely puts pride in her cats! She let and encouraged my family to met mom’s and dad to make sure this is the breed we wanted and to answer any questions we had. She educated us more on the breed that we didn’t know. I needed a cat that was going to be Specifically for my child with autism and she helped us find one out of the bunch that would be perfect for him. She takes the time to socialize them with handling at such a small age, So they’ll be a custom to their new people and homes. She even wanted us to bring a unwashed shirt of my sons so the kitten got used to him smell! I love the family atmosphere there would be no other Cattery I’d ever go to get a ragdoll then here!!

We have just recently put a deposit down on one of Kathleen’s beautiful rag doll kittens to claim him as our own. Working with Kathleen (the owner) has been such a joy. She is a lovely, kind woman who clearly holds the Ragdoll breed near and dear to her heart. She was very quick to respond to our initial inquiry and equally quick to invite us to come to her home and meet all of her beautiful cats and kittens. Upon arrival we were welcomed warmly into her home which, by the way, is clean, comfortable and beautiful. The cats and babies are treated like kings and queens! All were very social and curious, allowing us to interact freely to our hearts content. Kathleen’s home is very open and airy which gives all of her pets a lot of room to move. She has a few doggy friends too and all of the animals live together in fun, active harmony! Kathleen is very knowledgeable, answering all of our questions, big and small. Her cats are all certified and healthy which is of utmost importance when choosing a new pet. Kathleen has kept a line of communication open with me from the getgo - sending me pictures (and videos) as the kitties mature, and also pictures of my new baby’s parents. We are encouraged to come and visit frequently while our little guy is growing. We just can’t wait until he is old enough to take home! I can’t say enough about our experience - if you are interested in this beautiful breed, please don’t hesitate to contact Kathleen - you will not be disappointed!

So nice to visit this cattery in Waddell. Kat (owner) offers a nice assortment of Rag Doll babies, and has been so wonderful and knowledgeable with assisting me in my adopting one of her kits. I would highly recommend this cattery and breed to anyone desiring a lovely family pet!

We have been very pleased with Kathleen, and are so excited to bring home our baby boy in Aug. 2018. She truly loves what she does, and it shows! The cats are very happy, and in a fun, safe, clean home! We couldn't have asked for more, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Ragdoll!

This is the first time we have ever purchased a pet from a breeder and we have had a wonderful experience with Kathi with AZ House of Rags. She has been incredibly accommodating to our schedule for visits with our kitten and sends photos whenever she can. We travel to her home weekly and she is always pleasant and answers all of the questions we have with ease. We are so excited to take our kitten home next month and would definitely recommend her to others looking for a professional and helpful breeder in the future. Her home is spacious, beautiful, and clean! The kittens are well taken care of, happy, and get along great with her other animals. Thank you Kathi!
Highly recommend AZ House of Rags. We got our kitten early January. He is so sweet and adorable. My husband and I visited 4 different breeders in Arizona and decided on buying from Kathleen. She raises these cats with care and love. All the cats are well socialized by the time they are ready for the new homes. If you are looking for a ragdoll, you need to contact Kathleen.

This could possibly be the best Rag breeder in the west....if not the country!! These little fuzz balls are happy and healthy, when they get on the move they are like kids on the first day of summer. Without a doubt Kathy shows a true love and almost Zen-like connection and care for her Rags. House of Rags is the go to breeder for honest pure bred and registered kittens.

Having rescued five cats (me) and ten (Frank) over our respective adult live, we decided to pick what we wanted this time. Our choice was a Ragdoll; we reseached and found Arizona's House of Rags and Kathleen Nickeson on the web. We reached out and she responded, where upon we made our first visit to her "facility". Making use of a breeder was a new and scary proposition for us, we should'nt have worried. Her home in Waddell is open, airy, and clean-very pleasant to visit. Choosing a favorite from all the white fluffy adorables was hard but we did it and will be picking up our new baby on Jan. 11.

I went through a terrible situation with another breeder recently that left me and my family feeling very distrustful and emotionally fragile.
I put my deposit down with Arizona's House of Rags with low expectations.
After making arrangements with Kathleen, my husband and I went to meet our kitten. Kathleen's home is large, clean and well-ordered. Beautiful, friendly white fluffy cats roam freely. It's an absolute kitty paradise!
Because of the recent heartache, I went into the situation with tons of questions and concerns. Kathleen took the time to listen and patiently answer them all. As well as being encouraged to visit my kittens, (I was so impressed I decided to get 2!) I am also able to text Kathleen to ask for photos or how my kittens are, any time. She wants you to feel as involved as possible with your kittens development which helps to foster a bond as you wait for your kitten to mature.
Kathleen has been so warm, helpful and emotionally generous that I can't recommend this cattery enough! She breeds these wonderful cats for an absolute love of the breed. She's gone above and beyond to make sure my family is having a wonderful experience.
Arizona's House of Rags is no backyard breeder. You pay for a quality cat and a wonderful experience and that is exactly what you get!

Kathleen never pressured us in any way when it came to making a decision on whether or not we wanted to get a ragdoll kitten from her. We ended up choosing a ragdoll from her safe environment where the cats are genuinely happy. She keeps her cats clean, healthy, and all up-to-date on shots. Kathleen was also great at communicating hour our kitten was doing and answering any questions we had along the process. We would definitely recommend the Arizona's House of Rags. Google

Upon walking through the door ... the first thing you notice when Kathleen Nickeson greets you is that it is such a happy home and you can tell that Kathleen absolutely loves all of her animals.
It has to be the happiest place on earth for all of her kittens ... plenty of room to run around, which is full of cat toys and places to hide! Having said that, her house is beautiful and immaculately clean - and her cats and kittens are absolutely adorable.
She’s not just a breeder ... this is truly her passion .... and it certainly shows. Her kittens are raised in an open and friendly family atmosphere together with other dogs and cats and are socially ready for any family situation they will encounter in their new homes.
Kathleen’s attention to detail is unsurpassed - she spends the whole time during the births making sure the newborn kittens are safe and warm and sends you photos of the happy event as it happens.
She makes sure you are fully informed with videos and photos during the whole time you are waiting to take your new baby home. If you are missing your baby kitty, she makes you feel welcome to go and visit.
I have been so impressed by the whole process that I have put my name down for a 2nd fur baby due in the Fall + I am picking up my baby boy this coming Saturday ..... so excited Google

Calling Kathleen at AZ House of Rags a breeder is a huge misnomer. A better term would be “Ragdoll Stepmom”. From the time the kittens are born until the day they are picked up by their forever parents, they are treated with love and care. This creates outgoing personalities in all the kittens which allows them to bond easily with their new families.
Not only are they not born in a kennel when starting their lives, they are allowed the freedom of the entire house to discover new things at their own pace. This includes both other cats as well as dogs since Kathleen has quite a few of each. Nothing could prepare them for their new lives any easier while making the change to a new home seamless for them.
I have had my kitten Drago for 8 weeks and it feels like he was made specifically for my family. He has no fear of anything and absolutely loves both of my pugs, Stoli and Satan. He and Satan are truly best friends, so much so that it’s almost like they are littermates. They play all the time and when they finally take a break, they sleep curled up on top of each other. It’s a match made in heaven and neither one has any idea they are not from the same mom and dad.
If you are looking to adopt a purebred Ragdoll, look no further because you cannot find a better home from which to get one! Google

We just brought home two beautiful kittens from AZ House of Rags on 5/11/1. From the moment we opened the carrier at our home, Abbott and Lucy have acted like they own the place. They are very social and sweet kittens. They don't run when you pick them up and they follow us all around the house. This is all thanks to Kat and her hands-on care of all of her kittens. She even let me come and visit my new babies as we waited for the day we would take them home. This whole experience was just wonderful. I highly recommend AZ House of Rags. Yelp
