Buying TICA Registered Ragdoll Kittens

By Ruthie Calderon


With the number of sellers making Ragdolls available for purchase, it is becoming increasingly important to remain educated and to determine reputability from profitability. TICA registered Ragdoll kittens must be produced by highly reputable and knowledgeable sellers in the industry including adherence to ethical breeding practices. It is important to implement the necessary research when looking to add a new pet to the home.

Supporting reputable breeders is important because sellers are interested in maintaining the health and purity of a breed standard. The purpose is to produce strong lines and only the best litters that will continue to represent the Ragdoll line in comparison to the financial motivation that is noted in regular backyard breeders. Purchasing pets that are registered with The International Cat Association can protect against selecting felines that are not bred according to the specified breeding standards.

Purchasing Ragdolls from registered and reputable breeders will provide peace of mind that healthy and properly bred felines are purchased. The seller will often request that a contract is created stipulating the terms and conditions for the maintenance of the feline. This includes regular veterinary checks, sterilization, and procedures that will support the long term healthy condition of kittens.

A seller will advise on the creation of a health guarantee including the performance of a thorough veterinary assessment. A certificate should reveal the genetic tests that have been performed and the elimination of abnormalities or disease that may result in poor formation. The aim is to produce lines that only include the highest genetic structures and prove representative of the particular breed.

When a family approaches a seller for the purchase of a kitten, it includes a matching process to ensure that the right fit is met. Felines must enter into the appropriate home with dedicated owners as this will minimize incompatibility and an inability to meet the needs of this unique breed. All sellers will need to be knowledgeable in the history of the breed and advise on the appropriate personalities for particular families.

All highly regarded and well recognized breeders are more than willing to educate a new owner on the best possible care of the new kitten. Should the buyer no longer be able to keep the kitten because of unforeseen changes in circumstances, the breeder is more than willing to find a suitable home for the feline. The correct standards and breeding programs must be sought to find the right pets.

All buyers may request proof of health assessments that have been performed on the parents to ensure that all litters are raised in a conducive home. The pedigree of cats must be examined and hygienic conditions applied as this will encourage healthy and balanced development. A breeder may not deliver a litter on each season as it will affect the health of the breeding pair and the kittens.

Ragdolls are beautiful cats recognized by its long soft coat and friendly nature. When looking for a breeder, ensure that he or she is TICA registered to purchase healthy and well bred kittens. Remain aware of sellers who are interested in profits only to avoid making a poor decision.
