PRICING:  Prices quoted below include:  age-appropriate shots, deworming, neuter/spay, pedigree, registration slip, and health guarantee.  Most are litter-registered in both CFA and TICA.  They usually go to their new homes at or after the age of 12 weeks.  I raise my kittens underfoot, in my bedroom and living room so they are very people-oriented.

Pet quality kittens:   Loving babies with slight conformational or pattern flaws.  $700 for males, $750 for females.  Price includes spay/neuter, health guarantee, and blue slip for registration.

Show quality kittens:   These are available first to those who wish to show.  $850-$1000.   Same as above, but these babies have no disqualifying physical faults or markings, good conformation, temperament, and age/gender-appropriate size.  It may take up to 4 months to determine if an eye-catching kitten is a show prospect.  Since these are neutered or spayed, they can be shown in the kitten and premiership/alter classes.

Breeder/show quality kittens:  These kittens are available only to small, established catteries.  These kittens are usually shown before sale and are individually priced.  Only a few breeder/show kittens are available each year, so these are available only to those on my waiting list.  Please be patient; a kitten has to be truly exceptional to be considered breeder/show.  These kittens come from HCM DNA negative parents.  HCM DNA test certificates on sire and dam available upon request.   Breeders are priced at $1500/up.

Adults (retired breeding cats) range in price from $200-400.   Please consider a young adult or getting a second kitten if you lead a busy lifestyle.  Kittens need more attention from you to develop into model citizens.  They also have a higher energy level until they reach 6-8 months of age.  An older kitten would be best if you have young cat-friendly children.

Our kittens are sold to approved homes only.  Please consider if you are ready to bring a ragdoll into your life.  If you are relocating, about to go on vacation, going through a major life change (divorce, marriage, having a baby, unemployment, foreclosure, ongoing medical issues, etc.) you might want to put on hold any plans for adding a pet.  If any household members are allergic to cats you should not get a ragdoll.

SHIPPING I currently ship only show or breeding kittens within the US at buyer's expense.  I DO NOT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY.  Kitten pickups are arranged in advance, and kittens must be paid in full by the time of pickup.

RESERVING A KITTEN:   I have a small in-home cattery;  I average 2 litters per year so I don't have kittens at all times.  It is easy to get on my waiting list.  First, I screen you as a potential buyer.  Then I will send you a pet buyer's contract ( please view the sample) to sign and return with a $100 deposit.   This deposit is refundable until a commitment has been made to purchase a specific kitten, at which time an additional $100 is required.  At this point all monies will be non-refundable but transferable to another kitten.  Most kittens are reserved in advance.  It is important to me that kittens have homes waiting for them.  With nationwide pet overpopulation problems and economic ups and downs I am reluctant to produce kittens until we have 3 advance reservations per litter.  Those on my waiting list get up-to-the-minute updates on the litter's progress and photos every 2-3 weeks as the babies grow.   By the time your kitten goes home we will have gotten to know each other well :)
 
PAYMENTS:  A $200 deposit will reserve your kitten for you.  If you wish to get on the waiting list for a kitten prior to the birth of a litter, the first $100 will hold your place.  Final balances must be paid with a cashier's check, money order, PayPal, or cash.   Please use Delivery Confirmation/Fedex/UPS if mailing payments.  Thanks for your understanding.

CATTERY VISITS:  The best way to learn about the ragdoll breed is via the Internet or by visiting a local cat show and chatting with exhibitors.  Due to time constraints I cannot welcome all interested parties to my home.  I allow each buyer up to 2 cattery visits of up to an hour apiece.  The first is to select a kitten from a litter.  The first visit usually takes place when the kittens are at least 7 weeks of age AND have received their first vaccinations.  This is scheduled after I have received a deposit and a signed copy of the contract agreeing to the conditions of sale.  If a buyer decides on the day of the visit that a kitten from the current litter isn't suitable, the initial deposit(s) will be returned.  The second visit is to pick up your kitten.  Prior to this visit I inform buyers of the foods currently used and of any upcoming vaccinations needed.  New parents are reminded to bring a cat carrier when picking up.  Sometimes we have used carriers available for sale at a reasonable cost.  Please check with us.  I gladly provide references from past buyers on request.
