Ragdoll cats are amazing creatures. They have a very tolerant personality and a remarkable ability to stay relaxed when being handled. They become devoted to their owners, and are excellent companions.

When looking for a Ragdoll cat, Ragdoll cat breeders are the best place to start. They will usually advertise when they have Ragdoll cats for sale, and you can find out about the Ragdoll kittens that they have available. If you are looking for something in particular, such as mink Ragdoll kittens, you will want to see if your breeder has that color of ragdoll kittens for sale at the time – some Ragdoll cat breeders will specialize in certain colors.

The Ragdoll cat breed is very loving and adaptable, and will quickly become attached to their owner. Ragdoll kittens are quite playful, and make good pets for children. There are rumors that the Ragdoll cat does not feel pain, but this is likely a myth perpetuated by their ability to relax and be handled without protest.

Ragdoll cats can be hard to find. The Ragdoll has not achieved official status with the Cat Fanciers’ Association in the United States. It is recognized by Britain, but not in other areas. Ragdoll cat breeders in Colorado offer kittens, and there are Ragdoll cats in Georgia and New York Ragdoll cats as well. Globally, Ragdoll cats can be hard to find, though breeders of Ragdoll kittens in Victoria, Australia are easy to find. Check internet sites and breed magazines to find a breeder near you if you do not want to travel.

The Ragdoll cat is large and muscular, with a short, heavy neck. It has large oval eyes that are always blue. It has a thick fluffy coat that requires daily combing and brushing, especially the long fluffy tail. The pads are feather-tufted. The Ragdoll is a color-pointed cat, and can have points in lilac, blue, chocolate and seal. All of the color points can come in one of three varieties: color point, mitted, and bicolor. Some associations will also recognize the red point, tortie point, and lynx point color options.

If you think you would like a Ragdoll cat but do not want a kitten, consider looking into Ragdoll cat rescue. Rescue groups will take in abandoned Ragdoll cats from shelters or directly from previous owners. You can become a foster home for Ragdoll cats looking for permanent families, or decide to adopt a Ragdoll in need for yourself.
