Story
Speedy is a beautiful brown & black tabby. He is a very affectionate cat that loves to spend time cuddling with his humans and will do best in a single cat household or maybe with a family. Speedy lost his home after my mom passed away and my father was no longer able to care for him. After some relocating, Speedy is now looking for his forever home with a loving family that can shower him with affection. He can be a bit shy at first, but he has a big heart that makes him attached to those around him. He is an athletic cat that loves to play. Some of his favorite toys are strings, rattling mice and catnip sticks. He loves eating Churu treats and recently discovered the joys of being a lap cat! He is turning four on March 26.

Story
This sweet girl just turned 6 at the beginning of April. She is in great health. Shes quirky, sweet, gentle, and stunning. Shes a lanky lady with a loveable personality. She loves being pet & not too demanding. She enjoys playing but can be shy around other animals. She has lived with dogs and other cats throughout the years and has never had issues. She typically avoids contact with the other animals, she prefers people. I am a huge cat lover and she has been the cat of my dreams. Shes never scratched furniture or people. Completely litter box trained and never known to have an accident. She does not go after human food but will occasionally inspect an open glass of water. She will tolerate a collar, but I choose to let her show off that lovely white fur of hers. This gal is a gem, so serious inquiries are appreciated. I have her adoption, chip, and vet records.

He is a wonderful cat and loves dogs, people and other cats. We just don’t have the time to take care of him at this time due to just having a baby.

Story
I rehomed Fireball for a friend of mine at the time. I lived in a house that has a little bit of land and Fireball would be an inside/outside cat at the time. I had to move in with my parents about 2 years ago and he strictly began spending time as an inside cat. Where I am going now has another cat and we have unfortunately learned that Fireball doesn't do well with other cats in the home. He Is a very loving cat, he loves to cuddle. His purr is so loud and so comforting. He has a crazy overbite - but he doesn't have any issues eating or doing things a normal cat would do. He can be very playful. He loves to chase a laser light and play with toys. He gets along well with dogs. I have a Great Pyrenees that he doesn't seem to mind. Fireball is litter trained. He also eats just normal Friskies. He has eaten Rachel Ray food in the past. He loves a good treat, whether it be a normal cat treat, some wet food or even some milk. I am looking for a good home for him. He is very loving.

Story
Rudy was found as a stray kitten and is now about three years old. He was found with an infection in his tail that led to his tail being removed. He's very sweet and loving, always wants to be on or near you. And he's not shy about vocalizing what he wants :) He also likes to play, but he doesn't like belly rubs. He has a skin growth under his left eyelid that causes some irritation and could be surgically removed. He is not fixed and therefore sometimes sprays outside of his litter box, a behavior that should be corrected if he gets fixed. He is an entirely indoor cat. My father is currently Rudy's owner, but doesn't have the means to provide adequate care for Rudy, and his job often has him out of the house for extended periods. None of my father's children, myself included, are in a position to take in any additional pets. We feel that Rudy could have a much better quality of life with another loving family, and Rudy deserves that.

Story
Marbles is a year and three months young! Marbles is looking for a peaceful, relatively quiet house hold. She would do best with older kids. Marbles loves her quiet time but also loves her cuddles. She would do best in a home with another cat. Marbles is very playful. Her favorite activities include laser, wrestling with her littler sister, and loves feather toys. Marbles has acquired a deep connection to a Polly pocket doll that she carried around the house. It will need to go with her wherever she goes.

Story
Lulu was rescued from a rural trailer park almost a year ago. She turned out to be heavily pregnant, and she gave birth to the Willy Wonka litter almost immediately, once placed in a foster home. Now, her kittens have been adopted, and she has received veterinary care, and she’s ready to find her forever home! She’s estimated to be about 2-3 years old, and she’s sweet and playful. Ideally, we think Lulu would love to be an only pet. Lulu has been vaccinated and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. She’s also been spayed and microchipped. If you're located in Ohio, and you’re interested in meeting Lulu, please submit an application online via https://www.forgotten4paws.com/adopt-adoptform. Applicants can also request to foster-to-adopt (meaning a cat can be fostered on a trial basis before making a decision to adopt). If you have any questions, send an email to contactusforgotten4paws@yahoo.com.

Adopting a Ragdoll

On average, the cost to buy a Ragdoll kitten is between $800 to $3,500 from a reputable breeder. In contrast, the cost to adopt a Ragdoll kitten from a shelter or rescue is between $75 and $100.

It costs around $75 to $100 to adopt a Ragdoll cat. Conversely, it can be prohibitively expensive to buy a Ragdoll from a breeder; they can cost in the $800 to $3,500 range.

The easiest way to adopt a Ragdoll would be through a rescue that specializes in Ragdolls. A great place to start would be by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Ragdolls in your area.

To find a Ragdoll kitten, start your search on Adopt a Pet. Rescue organizations and shelters often post Ragdoll cats in need of homes. Visit your local shelter to see available cats in person or join a local cat club and attend cat shows in your area, as these events can be opportunities to meet enthusiasts who may have Ragdoll kittens available. 

Ragdoll fun facts

Fun Facts:

Ragdolls get their name from the way their body so easily goes limp like a rag doll when they are held or relaxed.

The Ragdoll's founding breeder, Ann Baker, claimed that the founding cat of the breed, Josephine, was taken to a a secret laboratory where government testing influenced the kitten's appearance and personality.

The creation of the Ragdoll was fraught with controversy. Ann Baker made it incredibly difficult for other fanciers to contribute to the breed’s development, going so far as to trademark the name, litigate with breeders, and send wild letters to the media.
