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.
