I HAVE BRED GENERATIONS OF CHAMPIONS AND LOVABLE PETS HERE AT ADORING RAGDOLLS, PLEASE VIEW MY SHOW PAGE AND TESTIMONIAL PAGE FOR MORE DETAILS. NEW OWNERS OFTEN BUY TWO KITTENS OR COME BACK FOR ANOTHER, AS ONE IS USUALLY NOT ENOUGH. RAGDOLLS ARE IDEAL PETS FOR TODAYS BUSY HOUSEHOLDS, BUT DO LOVE AND NEED COMPANY AND ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO SEE YOU, OFTEN WAITING AT THE DOOR TO GREET YOU AS YOU COME HOME, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THEY ARE THE PERFECT PET.
DETAILS OF WHAT YOUR KITTEN WILL NEED IN PREPARATION FOR A NEW HOME ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ONE OF MY KITTENS PLEASE CONTACT ME TELLING ME ABOUT YOUR PET HISTORY AND LIFESTYLE I CAN THEN ASSESS WHETHER I HAVE THE RIGHT KITTEN FOR YOU. I NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE COMMITED TO OWNING A CAT AND THAT YOU HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT CAREFULLY. IT WILL BE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTACT ME EVERY 4 WEEKS ONCE THE KITTENS ARE BORN IN ORDER TO KEEP REGISTERING AN INTEREST, TO REMAIN ON WAITING LIST AND TO ARRANGE VIEWINGS. ALL MY KITTENS ARE HCM NEGATIVE FOR THE KNOWN GENE SINCE. I HAVE MANY TESTIMONIALS FROM VERY HAPPY NEW PET OWNERS, PLEASE READ MY TESTIMONIAL PAGE TO READ COMMENTS IVE PUBLISHED FROM NEW PET OWNERS. RAGDOLLS ARE VERY PEOPLE ORIANTATED AND ARE GENERALLY VERY LAID BACK AND EASY TO LIVE WITH, AND A REAL DELIGHT TO SHARE YOUR HOME AND FAMILY LIFE WITH, BUT THEY DO REQUIRE STABILITY, ROUTINE AND LOTS OF LOVE. KITTENS SHOULD NOT BE LEFT ALONE FOR LONG CONSISTANT PERIODS OF TIME, IF YOU WORK AWAY FROM HOME ON A REGULAR BASIS YOU WILL NEED TWO KITTENS TO KEEP EACH OTHER COMPANY, BUT EVEN THEN IT MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE, SO PLEASE CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS, AS I WILL TREAT EACH ENQUIRY INDIVIDUALLY BASED ON YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES. |
A PET KITTENS
If you would like to view or discuss purchasing a kitten for pet or show then please contact me by email anytime or by phone eves and weekends, telling me about yourself, your pet history and your lifestyle.
I am currently breeding Bi colour & colour pointed patterns in seal, blue, red, cream, tortie and tabby. My lines generally either fully traceable or very high in traditional lines, this helps set the correct type and temperament. To add diversity I also have three lovely non traditional Ragdolls as I am currently working with the red, tortie and tabby lines, these three Girls are from show winning lines of good type and temperament and Have also produced stunning kittens and adults.
A non refundable deposit of £200 will secure the kitten of your choice, a kitten cannot be held without a deposit. The remaining balance will need to be paid either by internet money transfer prior to pick up, or in cash when the kitten is picked up to take home.
I ask that a photo of your kitten be sent to me at 6 months, one year and three years old so that I can see how they turned out as I am always monitoring the look of the ragdolls I breed and as most of them go to new pet homes I need this photographic information. I am also always happy to hear from owners of my kittens no matter how longs its been.
REHOMING ADULTS
I also very occasionally have young adults and slightly older Ragdoll cats that I want to re home as they turn out to be unsuited for breeding but will make excellent pets. They will be neutered/spayed before leaving me. The cost of a young adult or retired breeding cat is Based on their age plus castration/spay cost, these adults make loving and loyal pets and really appreciate their new pet homes and blossom with the one to one attention, and are also over the young kitten neediness stage, so can be left for longer periods. The males and females adjust really well once they are castrated and spayed, the older retirees are around 5 yrs to 7 yrs max are very laid back and suit working homes or older owners. The younger adults can be a bit more energetic and suit a family home in general although each cat is an individual.
These are top quality kittens and are very good Type, so they are not only lovely kittens but will make very attractive adults a lot of which have Traditional, Fully Traceable lines which are relatively rare and in my experience tend to have smaller litters.
Show and traditional kittens can sometimes cost slightly more, however if you agree to show them this price can be reduced slightly to the pet price. I don’t usually sell my kittens for breeding so my prices also reflect this as you have the opportunity to buy a show quality Ragdoll as a pet.
Kittens are wormed as required with Panacur liquid/paste and flea treated with advocate/stronghold or advantage as a precaution before going to new homes. Kittens will be fully vacinated and health checked by my vet twice. They will go to their new homes microchipped with: GCCF registration card 4 generation pedigree's, care plans, kitten pack, insurance if required and a kitten sales agreement which will need to be signed by both parties and conditions of sale agreed. Within this you will need to agree to have your kitten castrated or spayed by the relevent age. Pet kittens must not be bred from and this will have to be agreed within the sales agreement as a condition of sale. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL MY PET KITTENS MUST BE CASTRATED/SPAYED BY 7 MONTHS OLD. THIS IF FOR GOOD HEALTH AS THERE WILL BE LESS RISK OF HORMONE RELATED HEALTH ISSUES IN YOUR PET, THIS IS ALSO IMPORTANT FOR A BALANCED TEMPERAMENT. KEEPING CATS ENTIRE OFTEN LEADS TO CATS SPRAYING, STRAYING AND BECOMING AGGRESSIVE. A CASTRATED/SPAYED CAT IS MUCH HAPPIER AND CONTENT PET.
REHOMING AGREEMENT
I do not export pet kittens and the condition of sale FOR ALL MY Ragdolls is that I be informed if any kittens or adults that I breed/sell are in need of rehoming so that I can either take kitten/cat back or assist in finding a suitable home.
LIST OF THINGS TO BUY FOR NEW KITTEN

Cat Carrier - Medium to Large in size

Important information on kitten care and additional items needed
Hygene
litter tray
litter scoop, nappy bags for wet litter and put solid waste down toilet and flush
You can purchase wood pellets litter (treads less around the house), I also use or CHICK CRUMB which I buy from my local livestock food supplier, I mix in some clumping litter with the pellets as this makes it more comfortable for you cats feet and makes removel of waste easier with less waste. I fill litter tray one to two inches deep - nappy sacks for soiled litter - scoop and turn over litter with scoop at least three times a day, or whenever your cat uses it. Wash your cats litter tray with watered down bleach. 1 cap of bleach to over a half filled bucket of warm water. then rince with clean water and dry before putting clean litter back in. If you scoop often, when cat uses it, the tray won't smell. Always keep litter trays clean, you would'nt want to stand in your waste and niether do your cats. If you have more than one adult cat you will need a much larger litter tray or preferably two medium in size placed in different locations.
FEEDING
Dry Food
Kittens free feed Royal Canin Mother and Baby dry Food until 4 month then RC kitten Dry food up to one year old, I then change to Royal Canin Digestive mixed with RC Ragdoll depending on each Adults needs, I recommend that you keep your kitten on what I've been feeding (natural Instinct weaning paste) for the first few weeks to avoid tummy upsets, I will give sample of dry food and let you know which one I’m currently feeding if you ask. Lease Remember to place Food and water on the other side of room or when older in a different room, like us cats dont like to toilet and eat in the same place.
WET FOOD
Your kitten has been fed Raw chicken from weaning I use NATURAL INSTINCT which I provide a discount voucher for prior to collection of kitten so you can get some in. It is frozen so will take up some space in your freezer. Or if this o not suit you slowly change over to Lilys Kitchen or Natures menu kitten after a few weeks in new home.
I also feed Tuna, white fish, sardines and chicken TWICE A WEEK, you can also add some vegetables les occationally. Also add vitamin and mineral supplement called SF50 to Raw food (purchaced from any good pet shop or online) A lot of Kitten pouches contain sugar in some form, which can be highly addictive to your kitten and cat and does not contain much goodness, a bit like eating junk food every day, so when feeding pouches I add fish or chicken regularly.
All my kittens are raised with dogs around them, Chico was the peacemaker in my house and loved the kittens and any trouble between overprotective Mums Chico would sort out, unfortunately he passed away due to a heart murmur in March 2016 at 12 years of age and is sadly missed, God Bless Chico 💋❤️💋 see him in 2nd photo top row. I still have my old Chihuahuas and a cockapoo
