Meet The Team
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Welcome to River Haze! We are Steve and Kaitlin, a husband and wife duo ~and dedicated Ragdoll breeders~ who have dreamt of creating a boutique that truly celebrates our feline friends. In an overly saturated dog market, we saw a clear need for beautiful, high-quality cat products that elevate the lives of our beloved kitties without taking away from our home aesthetic.
​
With a passion for aesthetics and a commitment to quality, we carefully source our items from around the globe. Each product in our collection is handpicked for its design, functionality, and charm. We have the unique benefit of being able to test all the beautiful products we've sourced for our boutique right in our own cattery, where items get heavy usage from multiple cats & kittens. We take pride in personally packaging each order, ensuring that every detail reflects our love for cats and our dedication to customer satisfaction.
​
As a small shop, we cherish the opportunity to connect with fellow cat lovers and provide them with unique, luxurious items that enhance their cats' lives. Join us in making your feline companion’s world a little more beautiful!
Our Story
Kaitlin has been in the breeding industry for over 10 years, starting out in 2013 with her mother. Admittedly, we were very amateur with so much to learn! Starting with both Siamese and Ragdolls and having mixed kittens, then progressing to only Ragdolls without any kind of registration, then started buying registered ragdolls.
5 years later, Kaitlin married Steve and moved to New Jersey. Fast-forward to 2020, that's when Steve got his first taste of the breeding world when we started up our own Ragdoll cattery called River Haze Ragdolls. It has now been over 10 years since the beginning, and we're still learning things we never knew were possible. Our passion and fulfillment as we watch our personal growth with perfecting our breeding program has been a major work of heart.
​
Over the years, adopters have come to us asking for recommendations on what to buy for their new kitten before they bring it home. It set off a lightbulb in our heads, 'why not start our own boutique, where not only can adopters buy all their items directly from us - but anyone else who is interested in what we have to offer can too?!'.
​
So we got sourcing, created an online shop and started stocking up on items we love! The rest is history.
