Meet Elle
Founder
Miami Beach, Florida
Sometimes, a girl can make her dreams come true in the most surprising ways.
Elle Krisch has always been a dreamer and a woman of faith. When an unexpected tragedy took her sister far too soon, many of those dreams were shattered. In the depths of her grief, Elle leaned on her faith while searching for a companion to help heal the hole left in her heart. That journey led her to the Ragdoll cat—and the day she brought her first Ragdoll home, everything changed.
Adonis Blue embodied everything she had read about the breed. This cuddly kitten always wanted to be held, snuggled, and close. He was gentle, affectionate, and exactly what her heart needed to begin healing. While Elle had always loved cats, she had never known a cat so loving, so intuitive, and so deeply comforting. Through this unexpected blessing, Elle began to see how God was gently restoring her heart.
In loving memory of her sister, and guided by prayer and purpose, Elle set out to honor her life in a meaningful way—never imagining that her own calling would be revealed through it. Elle didn’t just fall in love with her cat; she fell in love with the Ragdoll breed itself. She felt compelled to share what
she was learning with everyone she met and soon became a certified breeder with both CFA and TICA.
But Elle never wanted to be just a breeder. When she learned that even boutique breeds like the Ragdoll are often raised in cages, she felt called to do better. That realization sparked her mission to create the first truly cage-free Ragdoll cattery, rooted in compassion, integrity, and love.
Every ElleRagdoll kitten is hand-raised in a nurturing home environment to ensure they represent the very best of the breed. Known for being exceptionally affectionate, social, and easy to handle, ElleRagdolls are raised to be confident companions and devoted family members. Today, the ElleRagdolls family has grown to eight in-home, family-run catteries—allowing each kitten to receive individualized love, care, and attention from the moment they are born.
Elle is deeply grateful to Jesus for her amazing clients and the opportunity to do what she loves every day. She continues to share her story and her passion for this magnificent breed, knowing that everyone carries a story of their own—loss, trials, and healing. Her ElleRagdolls help mend hearts, just as God once used a small, blue-eyed kitten to mend hers.
Thank you for becoming part of something so special.
Welcome to the ElleRagdoll family.
Meet Cindy
Elle's mentor
A successful entrepreneur and mother of 3 handsome boys she found herself entranced with the Ragdoll breed and knew that her passion was with the snuggly and affectionate breed called the Ragdoll.

All of Elle's lines come from Cindy's immaculate pedigrees which have exceptional bloodlines and the high quality that clients crave.

-Meet the Caregivers -
Being a cage-FREE cattery is purely the first of its kind. A cage-FREE cattery means that none of our adults or kittens are ever caged but rather hand raised in a loving home. It's important to meet the families that ElleRagdolls has employed to bring up your little one in the most affectionate way ever created. The founder, Elle, is the first to design this unique and special way to breed. Elle realized that the way your little one has been raised plays a huge factor in how your kitten will adapt and most importantly be when they reach your loving arms. Elle puts her cats first and all of her kittens will be confident, loving, affectionate, crave attention, and most importantly look absolutely fabulous.
ElleRagdolls breeds the right way and how breeding should always be done.
Meet Kristi
Melbourne, Florida
Kristi has a heart that truly belongs to the ElleRagdolls, and her love for them is felt in every corner of her home. She has a natural, nurturing presence that the kittens instantly gravitate toward, finding comfort and calm in her gentle care. When Kristi is in the kitchen baking, the kittens can almost always be found playing sweetly at her feet, and occasionally pausing to look up at her as if they’re part of the process. The kitchen becomes a place of warmth, laughter, and soft purrs, filled with the comforting scent of fresh-baked treats and fluffy companions.
Kristi’s home is also a favorite gathering place for her grandchildren, who absolutely adore coming over to snuggle the kittens. It’s not uncommon to see little arms wrapped around a sleepy ElleRagdoll, creating the most precious bonding moments. The kittens thrive in this loving environment, growing up confident, affectionate, and deeply social. Kristi’s patience, consistency, and gentle spirit help shape the kittens into the calm, loving companions ElleRagdolls is known for. Her home is a place where love is baked in, cuddles are endless, and every kitten feels cherished from the very beginning.

Meet Carla & Rodney
Miami Shores, Florida
Carla and Rodney fell head-over-heels in love in 2020 when they welcomed not one, but two fluffy Elle-kittens into their lives. Proudly ruling their home are London James and Miss Fiji Bleu—a dynamic duo wrapped in whiskers, purrs, and pure charm. Their love for our growing in-home cattery ran so deep that they soon reached out to become official Royal Caregivers, and we truly couldn’t be more thrilled!
By day, Carla is a passionate and highly respected architect in the South Florida region. Her workdays can be long and demanding, but nothing melts the stress away quite like coming home to Elle-kitten snuggles. Weekends are reserved for the sweetest things in life—beachside walks with her three babies, soaking up sunshine, salty air, and all the little magical moments in between.
Rodney, Carla’s husband, is a retired professional tennis player… though “retired” is definitely up for debate! The court still calls his name, and his love for the game is alive and well. So much so, that he’s even been “training” the Elle-kittens to join in on the fun. Watching the videos is pure joy—each kitten absolutely loves it! Game days don’t stop there either; the whole family can be found cozied up together, watching tennis on the weekends.
Carla and Rodney truly are the best of all worlds—family, passion, play, and above all else… L-O-V-E. 💕🐾
Meet Missy
Lakeland, Florida
Missy grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals and fresh air, so it’s no surprise that her heart has always belonged to creatures of all kinds. She met her high school sweetheart while doing what she loved most and together they built a beautiful life, raising three wonderful children along the way.
As Missy stepped into her twenties and embraced motherhood, she discovered the Ragdoll breed—and it was love at first cuddle. She had never met a cat so devoted, so eager to be held and snuggled, and her pups quickly fell in love with their fluffy companions too. This special bond sparked a new journey, and Missy became a CFA-certified breeder, welcoming her very first Ragdoll, Adonis Blue, from Elle. From that moment on, she knew it was the perfect match, and her connection with Elle only continued to grow. Missy proudly retired as a successful Ragdoll breeder in 2016.
Before long, Missy found her forever place within the ElleRagdolls family as a Royal Director of her very own location. She is the loving home of Queen Foxy Jane, Princess Genevieve, and Princess Duchess of Godiva of ElleRagdolls. Staying true to the ElleRagdolls philosophy, Missy never cages her girls—allowing them to roam freely throughout her spacious home, always part of the action.
Her house is full of life, love, and laughter, with ElleRagdoll girls, pups, kids, and constant cuddles woven into her everyday routine. Missy pours her heart into raising each little one with extra love, attention, and affection, ensuring they grow up confident, cherished, and deeply social.

Meet Emily
Naples, Florida
As long as Emily can remember, her heart has always belonged to animals. As she grew into adulthood, that love came full circle when her family became the proud owners of a veterinary clinic in Naples, Florida—surrounding Emily with compassion, care, and a lifelong respect for animal well-being.
Life led Emily on many beautiful adventures, including becoming a proud mama to her daughter, Jolie. Just as her parents had instilled a deep love for animals in her, Emily was eager to pass that same tenderness and appreciation on to her little girl.
Emily had always dreamed of the perfect affectionate cat—one who could happily share cuddles with both her and her sweet, energetic toddler. When she reached out to ElleRagdolls, the search began. Emily knew exactly what she wanted and was intentional in finding a Ragdoll who would seamlessly fit into a lively, loving home. Elle listened carefully and made the perfect match.
That match arrived in the form of Bunny, a stunning Diamond Status Mitted Blue Point Ragdoll of ElleRagdolls. From the very beginning, Bunny proved to be everything Emily had hoped for—gentle, adaptable, and full of affection. As the months passed and Emily and Elle stayed connected, Emily realized she wanted to be part of something truly special within the growing ElleRagdolls cattery.
With plans now in place, Emily and her daughter are excited to become the newest location of the ElleRagdolls kitty family. Beginning in 2028, Emily’s home will welcome the newest princesses of the ElleRagdolls family, raised with love, patience, and endless snuggles.
