The price you will pay for a Ragdoll kitten varies by a number of factors. Breeders charge different amount depending on where you live, the bloodlines they breed, and the quality of the kitten you choose. Prices you’ll pay for a Ragdoll kitten range from $500 to over $1000.
Breeders typically offer Ragdoll kittens of two qualities. Pet quality cats typically have what show standards consider to be a “cosmetic flaw.” This could include markings in the wrong place, size, or coloration. This “defect” would prevent the owner from showing the cat; however, these Ragdolls are just as good and still make wonderful pets. Who wants to be shown anyhow!
Show quality Ragdoll cats are much more expensive and can cost well over $1000. These cats posses the desirable bloodlines and physical characteristics that cat shows look for.
If you find a breeder that is selling Ragdoll kittens for much less than they should be sold for, question their motivation for selling the kittens so cheaply. There could be problems with the kittens and the breeder may be trying to unload them quickly. It is best to purchase a Ragdoll kitten from a reputable breeder that can be registered; even if you don’t send the paperwork in you’ll know you are getting a quality, healthy Ragdoll kitten.

I think ragdoll kittens are soooo cute. I’d love to own one, but don’t care for the price of one. It is a bit much. Saw one on tv a few years back and I still think they are cute. Just can’t afford one.

i lov my ragdoll
i found one the other day by its self. The mom must have left it. She was crying so i took her in not knowing what kind of cat she was. I didn’t know anything about cats until my girlfriend told me that she was a ragdoll. She is barely like 3 weeks old! She was infested with fleas and my girlfriend had to take them out by hand with tweezers. She was also malnutrition. We cleaned her up and ive been giving her evaporated milk with vitamins and she is doing alot better now. One thing though she is shedding a litte so im kind of concerned. She is VERY attachfull and cudly she follows me every where. But yeah i never new they were so expensive!
I have a Ragdoll and she is just adorable. I named her Miss Pitty Pat. I am from the South and love Gone With The Wind and the character Miss Pitty Pat Hamilton is hysterical “My smelling salts!” lol. I got her through TN Rags R Us. The website isn’t updated and still has my kitty listed as an available kitten. She is the third female listed on the list of females and she was a baby there but she is 13 months old now and already 9 pounds and she will grow until 1 year old. I read on one website that ragdolls are floor dwellers once and my kitty is a hopper, lol. She has zero problem hopping on things and I’ve caught her a few times on my dining room table which is a no-no. I read about how one of you couldn’t afford a Ragdoll, if you don’t care about having papers, etc. you can check on Ragdoll rescue websites and can see some actual rescued ragdoll cats and paying a normal adoption fee. I have papers on my kitty (which isn’t a issue with me or that I care), she isn’t for showing or breeding (she is fixed) which I don’t want to do anyway, but I wanted a loveable cat that I can waller with and love on. My other two cats aren’t big on being held and one is a calico and the other a long haired tabby. I told the breeder I just want a loveable lap kitty and pick me out the sweetest one she had and they did and my Pitty is a sweetie and she loves to play and gets all hyper. This is the first full breed that I’ve ever had and she is adorable. I liked that I have a mixed bag of kitties, I don’t think I would just want one type of cat, my other two are pound kitties and it’s great to adopt a rescue kitty. This is fun to talk about cats!
I love my ragdoll cat. he is the sweetest, most loving cat I have ever owned and very in tuned to me. Even my friends who don’t like cats LOVE my rag doll..They are more like dogs then cats really…
hi have a ragdoll kitten and wont to breed her. need some advice from someone that has. and also looking for a male ragdoll to breed her with.
I love rag doll cats and until late 2008 I did not ever realize how much my mom paid for the rag dolls that we owned. I asked her did you actually pay $600.00 for the three rag dolls that you purchased and she did . By doing so she breeded two of the cats (Female cat- different mother then the male) and was able to sell the cats to get her money back and make a profit, but we did keep one of those cats so in all we owned four rag dolls to this day we only have one left. I miss them so much they are so affectionate ^0^ because they cling to you unlike orange tabby’s now those cats are very naughty at times .-.
i have a 2 year old male neutered rag doll a sweetheart but my husband decided to surprise me with a jack russell and i also have 2 other dogs the cat gets along just fine with them but my husband became disabled and i just dont have the time to give this beautiful animal the attention it needs i am thinking of selling him but he must go to the very best of people who would love him and give hime all their attention this is going to be very hard for me so i have to make sure he will be happy i am asking for 270.oo dollars and i have his papers he has the bluest eyes you’ve ever seen
i am sorry but i forgot to leave my email for anyone interested in buying my ragdoll also we live in binghamton ny email mdevi50@aol.com
I used to work at the SPCA & would see tons of kittens & cats that I thought were great but it wasn’t until the day that 3 sibbling Ragdoll kittens arrived there that I was COMPLETELY convinced I had to take one home. I’d never seen anything like them before. It would’ve been awesome to get all 3 but I am sure I got the best one. AMAZING breed.. very playful, very affectionate & develop a strong bond. I can totally agree with the statement about how they are kinda more like dogs in a certain way.
i too have had a ragdoll and loved her and still do even though she has passed away i can afford all the love and care and attention and material things another would need or have but the cattery fees and even some of the adoption fees are way way out there..what happens to the ones that no one buys…where do they go…it’s a shame because they are very very lovable and they cherish us as we cherish them.
