Meet Gabriello (Chocolate liquor) the sweetest baby you’ll ever know. She is our beautiful seal point apple-head.I have had several Siamese in my lifetime and while I love them all, this girl combines all of their wonderful characteristics into one precious kitty. “Gabi” has style, temperament and grace. She is also healthy, animated and intelligent.One of the things I love best about her is that she “assumes the position” - meaning when I pick her up to cradle her in my arms and kiss her she goes limp. As if in her breeding she knows this is expected.Charles and Bea, you’ve done a wonderful job and I can’t thank you enough. I recommend your cattery of excellence when ever I have the opportunity.Thanks,MattNaples, FLA

I give Siam Bali Rags the highest praise. I knew I always wanted two Siamese kittens and began a search. I found Siam Bali Rags (less than 2 hours away from Ft Lauderdale) and contacted Aunt Bea and Charles. We met with Charles and he showed me Siamese kittens. In conversation and getting to know what kind of kitten we wanted, he mentioned Tonkenese and brought out a male kitten. We immediately bonded and the choice was made. We had to wait until he was 12 weeks as it is important to not remove the kittens too early. Charles recommended I bond with him before bringing home a second kitten. We picked up the Tonkenese and was handed EVERYTHING we could possibly need! Litter box, litter, food/water bowls, toys, kitten food, a handbook with tons of information, more toys, and dried fish treats. After a week with the Tonkenese, his playful, curious nature, he became "Jacob". Then showing his regal air and confident swagger he became General Jacob Brownstone (The General for short). Now I was ready for kitten # 2. I asked Charles if he had any that would get along well with the General. He recommended a female Ragdoll. We drove out to pick from the litter. "Grace" was and easy pick. Her favorite toy is her spring! The General and Grace bonded quickly (one day) and are inseparable. They play and fight like sibling toddlers and then love on each other like eternal inseparable companions. Charles, with his wealth of knowledge, has been so helpful. I will always recommend Siam Bali Rags for anyone wanting kittens.

We just got our kitten from Siam Bali Rags and are very happy with the process of purchasing her from Siam Bali Rags cattery. Charles has great communication and follows up with you immediately from first initial contact to the purchase of the kitten. We love our new spoiled kitten!! Charles makes sure it's a smooth transition to the kittens new home. They will follow up with the next day to make sure everyone is adjusting fine. Great shot / vet records provided as well. I highly recommend purchasing a kitten from Siam Bali Rags. We are looking forward to many years of fun with our new spoiled kitten Zara Rose.

We sure are loving our precious Siamese girl named Goose. AuntBea and Charles gave her such a wonderful environment to be loved and trained before coming to our home. She’s almost a year old now and is the best companion, playmate, and napping buddy. She loves being in the middle of all activities and stays close to us so she doesn’t miss a thing. Even house guests get her full attention — she loves meeting new people. Thank you SiamBaliRags for the amazing work you do in breeding and raising such amazing animals!

We had a fantastic kitty adoption experience thanks to the wise and expert foundation Charles provided for our adorable, fun, smart, gentle and healthy siamese kitty Sammy. She is now the love of our lives. Charles included all sorts of items and insight to get us started with our new baby. Sammy was a little pricey but the care Siam Bali Rags invests in their kitties is worth it. I highly recommend Siam Bali Rags!

I adopted my Siamese FINN in 2020. I asked Charles to select the kitten for me. I relayed I wanted a great pet companion. FINN has proven to be the most fantastic cat ever. He has lots of personality yet promptly obeys. He is super healthy with no health issues at all. He is loving comes when called, meows when spoken to, stays by my side without nuisance, can be transported without stress. There is not one negative trait to him. He is the result of the fabulous birth to adoption care given to him by Charles and Bea. I will always get my cat from Charles and Bea and will recommend them to anyone who mentions the word cat.

I am pleased to recommend Siam Bali rags. Charles and Bea were terrific. I got Walter at seven months, and he seems perfect! I received a go home kit, which included food, litter, toys, carrier, treats, books; really everything Needed for a quick start and easy transition. This is a terrific small cattery!!

We wanted a cat that would be part of the family – go where we go and do what we do. For that we needed a kitten and a breeder that raised cats for personality rather than show. We hit a home run with Siam Bali Rags. Friendly and loving to us and everyone who comes to the house, totally house trained (2 months with no accidents) and just a total delight to have in our home. Not our first cat but definitely the best we have ever had.

We just brought home Casper few days ago and he is the most loving and gentle soul ever. He instantly bonded with both me and my husband. He literally goes limp when we hold him, certainly living up to his name - Ragdoll. We were looking for a fur buddy for our 1 year old Ragdoll cat who loves to play. Casper exceeded our expectations as they both were playing together on Day 2.Thanks to Charles and Aunt Bee for matching us with a purfect kitten for our family! Their expertise and hard work clearly shows in how confident and comfortable Casper is being around people at such a young age!!

Thank you Charles and "Aunt Bea" for our new family member. We have had our Siamese baby girl (GOOSE) for 6 weeks now and she has our hearts. I commend you for the socialization of the kittens and training. Charles and Aunt Bea even sent us home with EVERYTHING we needed to establish a cat into our home smoothly -- even toys! GOOSE adapted almost immediately to our home with no problems whatsoever; she is low allergen (as we needed); and the most loving cat I have owned. She is the best jumper, playmate, and "snuggler". Within a week we had solidified her fetching on command. SiamBaliRags.com definitely provided us first class service and knew how to help connect us with the right pet for our family.

We were looking for a low allergen kitten for our family and they are quite hard to find. In the end the only available kitten we could locate anywhere within a day drive was SiamBaliRags. It was an existing kitten almost ready to adopt so we didn't have to wait for a litter like normal, so that worked out nicely for us. Our little Tonkinese boy is gorgeous, fun, smart, playful, and purrs like an outboard motor. He also came home with a lot of extras to make the trip and transition easier, which was nice.Our vet says he is perfectly healthy. All we need to do is neutering and standard monthly flea/tick, etc. He was clearly well taken care of. I only take away a start because they are expensive, but most pure breed pets are. Now that he's part of the family he's priceless, of course. :)

Our family adopted Star back in September. Charles was awesome 😊. He helped us get everything we needed to make sure our Star was ready and comfortable in her new home. Our Ragdoll kitty, Star, was perfect from the beginning. Healthy and gorgeous, she is the perfect addition to our family. We will be back for a second kitty baby for sure!

Our Tonks are the dearest part of our home. These cats are affectionate, tough, smart and fun. They are dear friends and family for life. Thank you so much, Charles and Aunt Bea!!

After years of searching for a second cat, I finally found a breeder that seemed trustworthy and had kittens available. We received a happy, healthy, gorgeous, perfect kitten. I don’t think she could be any more perfect. We’ve had no accident, health scares, or behavior issues other than her being skittish. Our vet even commented how gorgeous she is. Thank you Charles so much <3

We recently adopted a beautiful Siamese boy from Bea and Charles. They were incredibly informative on the adoption process, how their kittens are raised, and how to care for them properly. They truly spoil their kittens so much before they are brought to their forever home. We love our little one, he is absolutely the sweetest, most loving little kitty. He is so playful, and very well house trained. Everything that we could possibly need for his care was included, even many toys and very high quality homemade treats! We are so grateful to Bea and Charles for raising the newest member of our family with so much love and care!

Our Vet referred us to SiamBaliRags when we decided on a Ragdoll kitten and glad she did. Fritz is a healthy, happy 4 year old fur boy who loves to flop for belly rubs and follows me around the house like a penny dog. He's also a great First Mate on our small tug. We appreciated the Dore's attention to detail when we adopted him that continued post adoption too.

We were look for a local breeder in central Florida. I’ve had three Siamese cats in my life and I have loved them.My last one died four years ago, and I have been waiting to see who I can fill his pawprints. I adopted a male sealpoint Siamese from Charles and aunt B. He was a lot of money and I have only had him for a week but he is turning out to be one of the most intelligent , loving and attentive cat I have ever had!

Whilst living in Naples, Fla., we gotour first Tonkinese, Sushe, 9 years ago and then added our blue point Siamese, Jynx, 7 years later. Both Charles and Bea have been fantastic over the years and raise well socialized and beautiful babies! We now live in the U.K. with our furbabies and when the time comes to add to our family, I will not hesitate to call Charles and Bea!P.s. their dried whitefish cat treats are the best!

Happy owner of a baby Balinese from this breeder. Our 8mo old Cookie has been a wonderful addition to our family. She gets along well with our 7 year old goldendoodle and she follows our 3 year old daughter around the house all day long. We also continue to buy the Ocean Whitefish treats from them. Cookie gets very vocal and loving when these treats come out. I would highly recommend this breeder as well as this breed of cat for anyone interested.

I have known Charles and Bea for many years now. Their cats are very friendly, affectionate and well socialized due to all the love and good care that they receive. Best breeders, with many happy and satisfied customers! Great line of cat and dog treats, our Golden Retriever loves Aunt Bea’s treats, especially the Salmon & Chicken! ❤️

I cannot believe what some people are saying about Charles and Aunt Bea that own Siam Bali Rags, owing debt. First of all these people have no idea about their private finances. And then telling people to run and find another breeder for their cat pet needs!! They are honest and loving people who care for their beautiful variety of cats like their own children. Charles and Aunt Bea have won numerous awards for their Cattery and even have Doctors on board to certify the health of their gorgeous kittens. I purchased a Blue Point Mitted Ragdoll from them in 2006. My Chelsea is now 14 years old and the love of my life. Sweet, loving and so smart, meeting us at the door each time we come home. Ragdolls have dog like qualities and will even fetch a rolled up piece of paper when you throw it during play. I had the pleasure of visiting their home in Florida, when Chelsea was 1 year old. Living in Virginia, my furry baby flew on a commercial airline to me, back when you could do that in 2007. When Chelsea arrived here in Virginia and she saw me, she landed in my arms and was kissing my face. Just like she had known me forever! This immediate love and bonding is because of the outstanding care and love. Charles and Aunt Bea give each and every kitten in their lives. They socialize their furry babies at the right time within their home. Their home is large, is spotless, no odors, and everything in its place. The kittens all have fun running around the house after a certain age. There are cat scratching towers all over. And Aunt Bea and Charles rotate their breeding times , they do not over populate any of the breeds! In fact, you will not be able to obtain your kitten before 3 months of age. It is important that the kittens stay with their Mom for that period of time. The kittens learn a lot from the mother cat from 6-12 weeks, and are better kittens for having this time. Believe me, 6 week old kittens should never be taken from the mother at that young age. Having cats my whole life, that was hard for me waiting for my furry baby to come. But it was worth the wait.I will always go back to Siam Bali Rags for all my kitten needs. It will be a drive from Virginia, but Florida is an easy state to visit for sure. And if you fly down, they will be happy to meet you with the love of your life. With you new furry child, you will receive this wonderful instruction manual that answers every single concern you may have. And you will have all kinds of information as to places to buy different things that will enrich your kittens life. I did purchase the great cat trees she suggested . I believe it was Cats For You in S.C. They use proper products for a cat. NO CARPET! Only Sherpa and Sizzle. All this and more will be in your manual. Your kitty will love this cat tree. And another BONUS, Aunt Bea makes cattreats that all cats love. Fresh ingredients, no fillers. Cats go crazy over these .It takes an enormous amount of time, love, lack of sleep, labor, and expense to raise these beautiful babies. Remember the kittens will have their first shot when you purchase them. All pure breed pets will come at a price. You have to look at the kind of life they have had as a kitten and how lovable and social they will be because of the exceptional and loving care since birth.I have tried to emphasize what Siam Bali Rags is all about. Please consider this wonderful business. You will be forever grateful.Purrs,Susan Brown in Virginia

Just to be clear. I can't comment on personality in regards to breeding. I base general attributes of behavior on raising and training them. Nor am I interested in show competitions. My interest is more about color and other physical attributes just as a pet. Which is why I was interested in Birmans with brown coat and light paws .Pros - Cats seem to be in good condition. Friendly and was able to meet with me at a convenient time. I was looking into Birman kitten. There doesn't seem to be any in my area. But they offer some kind of mix that is very similar.Cons - I lost hours of time and gas. And my butt was a bit sore from all the driving. For nothing. Because when I arrived, I was presented a different kitten than what was agreed. Also, waiting period of over 12-13 weeks for availability is completely unreasonable. Kitten needs to be available prior to 10 weeks for proper training. I got my previous kitten at 8 weeks old. This was a huge benefit to train her to behave around the house and not bite. And indescribable loving bond of my life. She was even sick when I got her which is better than waiting longer. They gave me medication and directions for steam to care for her until she got better. Also, her vaccines costed nothing since all she needed to go back for was a rabies shot once at no extra charge. There's zero reason to wait an extra month when they're bigger to release for adoption. It helps much more to get them earlier on. This is even more reason I should have been able to take home the kitten we agreed upon right then and there at the fee we agreed upon (which was already way way way over my budget). And instead went there for nothing.

Charles and Bea were tremendously kind and helped match our little girls with the perfect little 5 month old boy Siamese. He is just beautiful and amazingly calm and tolerant of their constant adoration of him (they are 3 1/2 and 5). He actually comes out to find them! Charles discussed with me who would be the best match for my young girls and they really went out of their way to make my difficult situation a joyful one. My deepest thanks.

I have used Siambalirags three times in eighteen years and had an excellent experience all three times. I purchased a female Balinese, male Ragdoll and and other male Balinese. Aunt Bea and Charles have always communicated very well and been very fair and honest in their dealings with me and I have been very satisfied as their cats have been in excellent health and very personable to humans. In reading the other comments, I would be aware that it seems like a hit piece has been put out against this business which appears to be unlawful at best. I have no relation or other dealings with Aunt Bea or Charles except for their cattery of which I am extremely satisfied. I would highly recommend them and my dealings have been over the span of a decade in which they have been upfront, honest and fair.

VERY happy new parents of two beautiful Tonkinese kittens!First, if you're reading this, you're probably like my wife and I and are doing a lot of research on breeders before adopting your new family members. It's confusing (and a bit intimidating for sure) so hopefully this review will be helpful. As for our family, this is our 4th iteration of adopting Tonkinese and honestly, our previous experiences with other breeders here in the South East were NOT good. Simply put, we learned over (painful) time, that like many things in life, there is often a difference in quality/care when you pay a premium. It feels strange to mention cost when referencing the adoption of a loving cat, but it's part of the process. My point is that we have previously taken a cheaper path to adopt with unfortunate results: both in the adoption process itself and ultimately in the poor health of the cats. With Charles and Bea, the entire process has been incredibly smooth and I have little doubt that our new babies will live long and healthy lives in our home.Pros:1. They obviously care about their kittens, their health, and where they get adopted. I honestly think they interviewed us a bit a the beginning to understand whether we knew what we were getting into. I LIKE that!2. Going the extra mile: When I flew down to pick up the kittens (we're not local to Florida), Charles actually drove from his home (two-hour round trip) to meet me at the airport because the layover between my flights was cost prohibitive to time differently. It would have easily been my responsibility to fly at a different time but he went out of his way to help.3. Pleasant surprise: We've been surprised by their caring communication and thoughtful acts prior to picking up our babies (e.g. they shipped us a box of cat toys and treats for our 2 EXISTING cats two months before our actual adoption.3. Every step of the process is carefully laid out and taken care of. They've done this for almost 40 years and it shows. The paperwork, the pet carrier for the airplane (yes, they provided a brand new one for us to permanently keep - just to make sure it was the right size and quality for the airplane trip), and multiple follow-up calls.Cons:1. Obviously the cost is expensive, period. I'm not sure this is a "con" versus just a data point, like where you need to pick up the kittens. But again, pardon this brief perspective, this is an investment that will be us for up to 20 YEARS - is that really where we want to go cheap? Been there, done that, and have the costly vet bills from our other cats to prove it.2. Be patient. There was a time during the adoption waiting period (from birth to the actual pick up), that we called and left messages but didn't hear back for several days. I'm sure they have people calling all the time just to ask stupid questions (like we did!) so it's hard to hold that against them. To be honest, the calls were not urgent, but of course we were anxious and just expected to hear back in 5 minutes. However, to be clear, when it came time closer to the pickup weekend, every call was answered almost immediately and I never felt out of touch.Hope this helps. We just wish we had taken this path 20 years ago! Let our lessons learned save you some heartache. They take personal pride in what they do, and it shows.

Aunt Bea and Charles are the BEST and SMARTEST breeders in the world!
