What are Ragdoll cats like?

Ragdoll cats are known for their playful nature and gentle temperament. They are highly intelligent and affectionate, often seeking out human attention and interaction. Ragdoll cats are adaptable to other pets and humans, and are generally easygoing and sociable. It’s important to note that Ragdoll cats prefer not to be left alone for long periods of time, as they crave human companionship.

When considering a Ragdoll as a family pet, it’s essential to make sure that someone will be around to provide regular attention and playtime. Ragdoll cats are a large breed, weighing up to 20 pounds and measuring up to 24 inches in length. They have a plush coat that comes in a variety of colors and patterns, including seal, blue, chocolate, lilac, and red. Registered Ragdoll breeders will have kittens for sale with these and other fur variations.

What should I ask to choose the right Ragdoll breeder?

While there are many people who claim to be ethical Ragdoll breeders, not all hold a standard that you can feel great about. Asking some relevant questions about their philosophy will ensure you avoid Ragdoll breeders that do this only for financial gain, not having the interests of the cats or you in mind. Make sure you ask about:

  • Health history of the parents and vaccinations. They should have their first vaccinations by the time they're adopted.
  • Whether they've bred their Ragdolls with other breeds (they should disclose this and it would make it not a purebred lien.
  • Have the socialized the kitten among other kittens?
  • Do they belong to a Ragdoll breed club? You can ask for references from the club.

Why does it matter if I buy from a registered Ragdoll breeder?

When you buy from a registered Ragdoll breeder (with either their local club, governing body, or TICA), that ensures that a standard of care and expertise is enforced. You can ask them about a wide range of topics such as the Ragdoll’s genealogy, the right kitten for you, common health problems with Ragdolls to look out for. We offer additional registration through our Cat Kingpin Certified program as well, although it's not a replacement for other registrations.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
