Schedule, Care, & Philosophy

On a typical weekday, how many hours will your new kitten be alone with no people in the home?

Do you plan on declawing your cat?

Yes

Maybe / Considering it

What do you plan on feeding your kitten? (Examples: scheduled times for wet food while free-feeding dry food, exclusively wet food that is free-fed, free-feeding our own homemade meals, a raw diet on scheduled meal times, etc)

Do you currently have another cat in your home? (Note: You receive $250 off your second kitten from us, even if adopted at a later date)

Yes

Ragdolls are very social cats and do best with another cat. They can easily become lonely and depressed if they are the only cat in the house. While it is helpful if people are home all day to interact with your Ragdoll, it still cannot replace the bond of another cat.

Are you open to bringing home a second kitten from us or adopting a companion cat from a shelter? You get $250 off your second kitten from us, even if adopted at a later date.

Yes

What option(s) for transporting your kitten are you most leaning towards?

Is there anything else you would like to share with us to help match you with the perfect kitten?

How did you hear about us?

Please specify how you heard about us, it helps us learn which methods work 🙂

You get $100 off your kitten if your friend/family that recommended us to you also brought home a kitten from us. Please write their first and last name here if they got a kitten from us.
