Responsible USA Ragdoll Catteries
If you have decided that a purebred Ragdoll kitten is the
purr-fect match for you, it's of utmost importance that you
acquire your kitten from a reputable US Ragdoll breeder. Just
as dogs and puppies are exploited by puppy mills, backyard breeders
and pet stores in the US - so are purebred cats and kittens.
Purchasing a Ragdoll kitten from any source other than a responsible
breeder can be a one-way ticket to heartbreak, since kittens
from these sources can have a shopping list of health and behavior
problems.
What should I look for in a responsible Ragdoll cat breeder?
1. Knowledge -
A responsible Ragdoll cat breeder will be very well educated
about the breed, and health and temperament of her cats and
kittens.
2. Care
- A responsible Ragdoll cat breeder is caring. Her cats and kittens
are loved and treated as members of the family.
3. Concern - A
responsible Ragdoll cat breeder will be concerned about the wellbeing
of her cats and kittens. She'll want to know a lot about you,
and put you through a "screening" process before agreeing to
place one of her kittens with you.
4. Accountability
- A responsible Ragdoll cat breeder will follow a carefully selective
breeding program. The goal of each breeding should be to produce
the healthiest, soundest kittens possible, while adhering to
the breed standard set forth by the governing cat breed association.
In addition to this, the breeder should offer, and stand behind,
a reasonable health guarantee on her kittens.
5. Commitment
- A responsible Ragdoll cat breeder will be committed to the
welfare of her kittens. She should be willing to offer you a
reasonable amount of post-sale support to answer any questions
you may have as you adjust to life as a kitten owner.
She should want to keep in touch with you and receive photos
and updates on how your kitten is doing. The breeder should
also be willing to assist you in re-homing your kitten, should
circumstances prevent your fulfilling your commitment to raising
the feline, for any reason.
The following Ragdoll
catteries meet our guidelines for responsible cat breeders.
Please see our disclaimer below before
