FAQ

Kittens are priced according to color and pattern. Unless you specifically would like to show your cat, we always assume pet pricing. Pet prices range from $2,700–$4,500. See our Pricing Info page for details.

Yes, every kitten comes with a health package that is valued at $2,500. Your kitten will see the veterinarian for all of the necessary visits for the first year and receive all vaccinations with the exception of the rabies vaccine at 6 months. The kitten will be microchipped, spayed or neutered, and will come with a pedigree and health warranty. You will only need to take your kitten to the vet for the recommended well visit when it first goes home, and for the rabies vaccination.

We use a full-service, gold-standard hospital protocol—pre-op exam and labs, IV catheter and fluids, modern inhalant anesthesia, continuous monitoring by licensed techs, and multimodal pain control. Our veterinarians also use microsurgical techniques or laser surgery when appropriate to reduce tissue trauma, speed healing, and lower complication risk. We typically schedule littermates together, which keeps stress down since they’re with familiar companions throughout their time at the clinic. This is not a shelter or low-cost clinic model; it’s the same standard of care we want for our own pets.

Please read our FAQ on Avoiding Scams.

We include the entire first-year vet package (vaccines, microchip, spay/neuter). Clinic pricing for surgery increased, so we made a small across-the-board adjustment while keeping the same inclusive package and our payment plan.

No problem, you can switch your deposit to any other kitten that is available immediately. You can also move your deposit to any future litters at any time for up to 12 months from the initial deposit.

You may cancel your reservation for a kitten at any time and move the deposit to a future litter for up to 12 months from the initial deposit. We do not refund deposits for any reason.

You may move your deposit to another litter for up to 12 months from the initial deposit. We do not refund deposits for any reason.

Your kitten will be ready to pick up at 14-16 weeks old. Ragdoll kitten nurse all the way through the 12 week mark, most times longer, so we need to ensure your kitten is actually ready to go home. There may be delays or changes to the expected go-home date based on vetrinarian availability as well, so please understand timing must be flexible, but we will communicate expectations with you throughout.

Please check out our Pick-up and Delivery page for more details.

No. We want to you to take home a healthy, well adjusted kitten to ensure a successful transition from our home to yours. To do this we have to stick to our protocol.

No. We know how difficult it is to wait for your kitten to come home. We are happy to arrange visits via zoom to help the time pass. However, we want to ensure your kitten, and the other cats and kittens in our cattery, stay healthy. Cats are susceptible to coronavirus, so we limit our visits to pick-up only and all visitors must have taken a covid test within 24 hours of arrival.

We want our kittens to go to homes that are ready for them. We can board your kitten for up to 7 days from the delivery date for free. If you need longer, you can pay the daily boarding fee. If you can’t take your kitten home within the first 2 weeks then your kitten will have to be re-listed and you will forfeit your deposit. We do this because it is not fair for the kitten to be without it’s litermates and unbonded to it’s new person.

All kittens from Rarity Ragdolls come with a 24-month congenital and genetic health warranty. An extended 48-month health warranty is also available when all conditions outlined in the Contract of Sale are met.

Yes. Diet is a condition of sale and a requirement for all health warranties.

To maintain the validity of the 24-month health warranty and the optional 48-month extended warranty, kittens must be fed PawTree Holistic Pet Food for their lifetime, unless a licensed veterinarian prescribes a medical or prescription diet.

Nutrition plays a direct role in immune regulation, inflammation, metabolic health, and gene expression. While diet does not change a cat’s DNA, it can influence whether underlying genetic risks remain silent or progress into clinical disease over time.

Because Ragdolls can be predisposed to cardiac, gastrointestinal, and metabolic sensitivities, diet is one of the few post-placement factors that can materially affect long-term health outcomes. PawTree is required because it meets the formulation standards, ingredient sourcing, and quality controls we rely on to maintain consistent health outcomes across our breeding lines.

Buyers are free to choose another diet if they wish.

Choosing a diet other than PawTree voids all health warranties, including the 24-month and 48-month warranties, except in cases where a prescription diet is required by a licensed veterinarian.

If a licensed veterinarian prescribes a medical or prescription diet for a diagnosed condition, the health warranty remains valid for the duration of that prescription. Once the medical condition is resolved, PawTree should be resumed unless otherwise advised by a veterinarian.

No. Feeding PawTree does not require participation in sales, referrals, or any business activity. Buyers are simply purchasing food for their own cat. This requirement is based solely on nutrition and health outcomes, not on business structure.

No. The diet requirement is part of the condition of sale, not an optional warranty add-on. Waiving one or more warranties does not remove the diet requirement outlined in the Contract of Sale.

The diet requirement and its connection to health warranties are outlined in:

• The Contract of Sale (available on request)

• This FAQ page

• The PawTree Nutrition page

• The Kitten Deposit Agreement (available during checkout)

Buyers are encouraged to review all documents carefully before placing a deposit.
