GETTING TO KNOW ME

Meet Giselle, a kitten with a heart as big and entrancing as her blue eyes. She’s a sweet, cuddly ragdoll, with a shy side that only makes her more endearing. Once upon a time, she and her littermates lived in a mystical forest, full of curious creatures and enchanting landscapes. One day, while exploring, they discovered a magical portal. Their adventurous spirits led them through, landing them at PurrHarmony. Giselle’s shy, curious nature fills our space with joy.

Giselle’s magical journey has led her to us, but she’s ready for her next big adventure – a forever home. Her sweet personality and bravery will undoubtedly be a source of constant companionship.

Giselle has a luxurious coat with lovely seal point mask and blue eyes. She has a silkier coat that will require moderate care. It’s not cottony nor prone to significant matting. At only 7 months old she will not mature completely until approximately 4 years old. Giselle is a cautious and curious girl who can be a bit of a wall flower to start. Once comfortable (and please be patient), Giselle will slowly but surely warm up and seek out human affection. She enjoys being talked to and nice slow wand toy is fun, and a Churu is a great way to connect too.

Giselle thoroughly enjoys the views from atop a tall cat tree placed by a window. It is always a good time to watch birds, blowing leaves and outdoor action. She is great with different scratching posts both horizontal and vertical. Trimming her nails is easy once she trusts you. The best home for Giselle must have a sweet, young companion cat or adopt one of her littermates or another sweet foster cat with PurrHarmony to join her. A quiet, adult home where her family is home more than away is what Giselle needs to thrive. Giselle being a bit of a wallflower will need time and patience to fully blossom.

Giselle is perfect with her litterboxes, using a large, open-style box with unscented, clumping PetSmart Grass litter. She’s grown wonderfully in the past months eating Honest Kitchen rehydrated food for breakfast and dinner. Fresh, clean water is always available from fountains. Proper litter box husbandry means one litter box per cat, plus an extra.

Starting out in a room as basecamp with introductions and access to the home should be at a speed acceptable and safe for Giselle and other pets in the home. Please do your research on proper introductions. It can often take up to 3 months for a cat to feel fully comfortable and integrate into a new family. Patience and understanding are of utmost importance.

Giselle and her littermates have gone through FIP protocol and are cured. Please educate yourself on FIP, and make sure your vet is up to speed on FIP. Feel free to ask any appropriate questions. A good place to educate yourself is https://www.fipglobalcats.com/

ABOUT THE BREED

All Ragdolls have the colorpoint gene, meaning that the body is always lighter in color than the head, legs and tail; three of the four Ragdoll patterns also have the bicolor gene, spicing up the pointed marking with dramatic white accents. They are not only beautiful to look at, but an utter delight to live with.

This is one of the larger breeds of cat, with a broad chest, long, muscular body and sturdy boning to match. Their semi-long coat consists primarily of guard hairs and produces a soft, silky texture that is infinitely touchable. The Ragdoll head is a large, modified wedge with a slightly curving profile, and vivid blue oval-shaped eyes. Ragdolls are slow-maturing, reaching full coat color at two years and full size and weight at four.
