Adoption Process

How To Adopt Your Ragdoll Kitten

Here, you’ll discover the process on how to buy one our fluffy Ragdoll kittens. All of our Ragdoll cats and kittens are raised in our home in Elizabeth, NJ. 

​

​​

 

 

To secure your Ragdoll kitten, the best option is to join our Main (Paid) Waitlist. This waitlist requires a $200 non-refundable fee, which is applied toward the final price of your kitten. Families on this list receive priority in selecting their kitten before those who are not on the list.

We also offer a free waitlist for those who are not ready to place a deposit but would like to be notified of available kittens. However, families on this list do not receive priority selection and can only choose from kittens remaining after the paid waitlist has made their selections.

While joining our paid waitlist is not mandatory, families on this list have the best chance of securing a kitten from an upcoming litter.

 

When the kittens are around 6-8 weeks of age, families are invited to choose their kitten based on their position on the waitlist. After the waitlist families have made their selections, any remaining kittens will be posted here as “Available for Deposit.”

 

Be sure to check back frequently, as our Ragdoll kittens are highly sought after and can find homes quickly!

​

*Please note, we are a closed cattery and don't allow visits unless you are on our paid waitlist or have sent a deposit. This ensures safety and health for our Ragdolls as well as our family since we are a home-based cattery. However, we are more than happy to schedule a FaceTime call for families who are undecided but would like to meet our Radgoll family. Thank you for understanding!
