Finding Healthy TICA Registered Ragdoll Kittens

By Mattie Knight


When the time is right to own a Ragdoll, it is important to take a number of informed steps before making a hasty decision. The great number of advertisements for felines can prove challenging to determine which breeder should be chosen to provide a healthy family pet. Future pet owners are advised to look for TICA registered Ragdoll kittens where pets are sought from highly reputable sellers and the health of the line is maintained.

One of the most common indications that a kitten may be crossed is in the total cost. A registered seller is required to implement very specific ethical practice and expense in genetic tests to select the best genetics for a strong and healthy breed. The price of a Ragdoll kitten that is registered and well raised will prove expensive in comparison to those exercising poor breeding measures.

Sellers who are merely interested in profits and without proof of upholding the breed standard will sell kittens at a lower price. Advertisements that reveal various coat colors as unique or rare may have crossed the cats and will not be able to provide proof of authenticity. Many irresponsible breeders indicate reduced prices because of larger litters that have been produced and without concern for the maintenance of pet health.

Never purchase a kitten that has not received the proper vaccinations from a qualified veterinarian. Without the appropriate medical care before leaving the litter, the animal is predisposed to contracting illnesses that could be prevented. Reputable breeders will always provide proof of vaccinations and deworming before the kitten leaves for its new home.

The kittens should be of a suitable age before it is time to leave for its new home as this ensures that the ideal behaviors have developed. The kittens must be at least 10 weeks or older to leave the litter as it prevents against behavioral problems and provides optimal time for the development of a strong immune system. An unethical breeder can release a kitten as young as 6 weeks that is unacceptable practice.

The completion of a health examination is required to ensure that genetic and general health are maintained. When a cat has been cross bred, the seller will be unable to provide proof of genetic standards that is further revealed in the price. Contracts should include the heritage of animals with a health guarantee to ensure kittens with the correct form and health.

The litter should be viewed where you are able to travel to the seller to determine the environment that pets are raised in and whether kittens are clean and alert. The feline must be indicative of correct Ragdoll features and form that will assist in minimizing the occurrence of falling victim to a scam artist. Equipping oneself with the appropriate information can aid in finding healthy pets.

A reliable and a reputable breeder will offer recommendations to ensure that your Ragdoll is raised in a healthy manner and conducive environment. It is important that one is prepared for the long term well-being of these cats to assist in providing high quality care. With the appropriate measures in place, it can aid in finding a pet for the family.
