As a first-time cat owner, I have had the best experience working with Elizabeth and Lauren. I was nervous about adopting from a cattery I hadn't seen (we have all read the horror stories on Reddit!) and was immediately more comfortable when they allowed me to visit their home and interact with the kittens, Kings and Queens. They take great care of all their animals and when we adopted Juniper she integrated so well and so fast into our home (with a dog) that it was almost like she's always been here. They definitely socialize their babies well! If you have the opportunity to adopt one of their precious floofs, you will have a lifelong loving companion. Lauren and Elizabeth have been very responsive to me both before and after bringing Juniper home, and I know if I ever have any questions they will be able to help.

We picked up our kitten in June and have been very happy with American Girlz. We visited once to choose our kitten and again later to bring her home after she had been fixed and vaccinated. Both visits we found their home to be a great place for kittens. Not only do they clearly care for their kittens well, but there was quite a lot of positive activity going on to include: children, large dogs, and other large cats around. We thought this was great because our kitten was already socializing not just with her littermates and a few select adults, but with kids and other pets. Overall, the level of care and affection given to our kitten before we got her was a big plus, and she's a healthy and happy new member of our home. We received regularly communication throughout the process and had our questions answered promptly. We definitely recommend (and have recommended) American Girlz!

Even though I've been owned by Ragdolls for many years now, it was still like starting all over again when I decided to get a pair of kittens. I did my research, followed reviews and watched social media posts before reaching out to American Girlz. Best decision I could have made. Lauren and Elizabeth were so friendly and responsive from the start, answered all my questions and provided lots of photos and videos so I felt updated on a regular basis. My kittens came home well socialized and are very happy and healthy!!! I highly recommend this cattery. I'm already looking forward to adding more to the family down the road. You can never have too many Ragdolls!”

"Since speaking with Lauren for the first time I knew this was the cattery for me. Lauren and Elizabeth were so knowledgeable and truly have a passion for Ragdoll cats.
My little (but rather big) 15 week old ball of fluff, has brought so much happiness into my life. He is well socialized, playful, and has the most adorable purr that can melt anyone's heart. Oh, and he LOVES to give kisses and is the softest thing I have ever felt.
Thank you, Lauren and Elizabeth for bringing Zeus into my life! American Girlz Cattery has truly exceeded all my expectations, and I can't recommend them enough."

"We welcomed our newest family member home last weekend and to say we are obsessed is an understatement. She is an absolutely perfect kitten with the sweetest temperament! The entire process of working with Lauren from start to finish was a wonderful experience. She is kind, thoughtful , and so knowledgeable about ragdolls. We cannot thank you enough for our newest fur baby and we can't wait to bring home another!"

"I decided to trust American Girlz because of their prompt, friendly replies and the level of detail that they gave when I asked about their kittens. ... Our kitten (named Puppy has been with us for a little over two months now, and they certainly knew what they were talking about [when pairing us with him]! He is the sweetest, cuddliest cat I've ever seen."

"I cannot say enough good things about this cattery. Lauren and her family love their ragdolls and care for them with so much love. Lauren was a great communicator throughout the process and we absolutely adore our kitten, who is now 6 months old. [He is] healthy, gorgeous, sweet and so much fun. I would not hesitate to adopt another kitten from this cattery and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a ragdoll kitten."

"After a long and somewhat worrisome search to find a new kitten to join my home, I was lucky enough to run into Lauren at a cat show in Chicago. She was extremely open about her breeding practices, prices, and even invited me to visit her home and her kittens before making a deposit. Once experiencing the professionalism and care with which they run their business, I felt comfortable choosing American Girlz for my new ragdoll."

"Lauren has been absolutely amazing during the entire process. I’ve never had a cat before and from day 1 she was there to reassure me, answer all my questions, and be my cheerleader. She even met me to pick my sweet baby up. I couldn’t have imagined having such an awesome breeder to help me navigate these new and scary waters. My sweet baby is the perfect girl! She is so snuggly and sweet. One week in and she is well adjusted to home! I cannot thank them enough!!!!"
