TICA and CFA Certifications
While not a complete deal-breaker, it’s nice to see breeders with professional certifications – it’s like a stamp of approval that you’re dealing with a responsible and ethical breeder.
Two of the certifications and organizations that you should keep an eye out for are:
The International Cat Association (TICA) – TICA was founded in 1967 and is the world’s largest and oldest association for cat enthusiasts and breeders. It has over fifty years of experience in registering purebred cats from all over the world.
The Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA) – Founded in 1906, the CFA is the largest purebred cat registry in North America. They’re devoted to the advancement of purebred cats and provide some excellent resources.
How Much Do Ragdoll Cats Cost?
A quick disclaimer; pricing of Ragdolls and any exotic cat can vary a great deal and there are a number of things that can affect the price.
To give you a rough idea, however, taking into account the pricing from a bunch of breeders you can expect to pay somewhere in the range of:
| Type of Ragdoll | Approximate Price |
|---|---|
| Household Pet | $500+ |
| Specialist Coloring | $1,500-3,000+ |
| Show Quality | $2,000-3,000+ |
| Purebred Quality | $2,000-3,000+ |
Additional Resources
I thought I’d share some additional resources that I think will come in handy for some new or prospective Ragdoll parents:
AdoptaPet.com – AdoptaPet is an online resource that helps connect you with hundreds, maybe even thousands of rescues, shelters, and other places where there are cats in need of homes.
I’m not going to put any pressure on, but there is something rewarding about taking in an adult cat in need of a home.
Ragdolls on Reddit – There is a huge community (25k+ at the time of publishing) over on Reddit. A good place to make some friends, share cute pictures, and ask any specific questions you have.
Are Ragdoll Cats High Maintenance?
The main concern I hear about Ragdolls is that they’re high maintenance. The good news is that this really isn’t the case.
They do require regular brushing, typically 2-3 times a week. This will help prevent their fur matting and tangling and keep on top of shedding.
If you brush them from an early age – as I’m sure you will – brushing your Ragdoll is something they’ll enjoy, and something that will help you bond with them.
They also have a docile and easygoing nature, fit in well with other pets and kids. They do love to play, but that’s never a chore.
If you’re buying from a breeder, they’ll probably ask you about other pets and kids in your home. They’ll then explain how to best help them settle in.
Are Ragdolls Good Pets?
Ragdolls are awesome pets! I’m not being biased, they really are.
Even if you prefer a different breed, it’s hard to deny that Ragdolls are cute cats. They also have the personality to match, so it’s a win-win.
The best thing about them is that they fit in with families of all sizes. They love affection, interacting with us, and are very playful as kittens.
In fact, the only downside to Ragdolls, if you can call it a ‘downside’ is that they need companionship and attention.
They’re not recommended as pets if you and everyone else is out all day and they’re left home alone.
Ragdolls do get lonely, and they can show signs of stress if they’re left alone for long periods.
They’re fine as both indoor and outdoor cats, but most owners report that their Ragdolls spend most of their time indoors or near the home when outdoors.
So, is a Ragdoll right for you?
It comes down to your personal preference. If you’re a cat lover, it’s hard not to adopt one of these cute-looking cats when you see one – and even harder if you’ve spent time with one.
If you have room in your life to give a Ragdoll some love, affection, and time, then I think they’re the perfect choice!
