The Ragdoll cat is an interesting animal with a large body and comparatively short legs when compared to other breeds. This is in fact the cat to get into the Guinness book of world records with men averaging 15 pounds, and females 12 pounds. One characteristic trait of these cats is their long and thick fur coat, which often resembles the Siamese cat. These furs also come in many different colors, such as seal, lilac, chocolate, blue, red, and cream. Lest we not forget about their beautiful, blue eyes which draws many owners to them.

Ragdoll Cat Price at a Breeder

When searching for a Ragdoll cat from a breeder, you will find a lot of variance in the price ranges. The average cost noted above is generally for domestic pets and take into account the breeder’s reputation, location and whether the cat was already neutered and spayed. You should always ask the breeder whether any sort of health guarantee is offered together with your purchase. These often come in the form of one-year guarantees, although the 2 and 3-year varieties are preferred. If anything should happen to the cat during this time, your purchase will be replaced or refunded. Naturally, this won’t occur if the problems occurred due to the owner’s negligence.

Remember that most breeders will not have kittens available all the time – and that’s a good sign. Breeding should never be done year-round, as that is very unnatural and the quality kittens often sell out very quickly. A breeder with many kittens is generally not a good sign.
