Finding Healthy TICA Registered Ragdoll Kittens

By Mattie Knight


When the time is right to own a Ragdoll, it is important to take a number of informed steps before making a hasty decision. The great number of advertisements for felines can prove challenging to determine which breeder should be chosen to provide a healthy family pet. Future pet owners are advised to look for TICA registered Ragdoll kittens where pets are sought from highly reputable sellers and the health of the line is maintained.

One of the most common indications that a kitten may be crossed is in the total cost. A registered seller is required to implement very specific ethical practice and expense in genetic tests to select the best genetics for a strong and healthy breed. The price of a Ragdoll kitten that is registered and well raised will prove expensive in comparison to those exercising poor breeding measures.

Sellers who are merely interested in profits and without proof of upholding the breed standard will sell kittens at a lower price. Advertisements that reveal various coat colors as unique or rare may have crossed the cats and will not be able to provide proof of authenticity. Many irresponsible breeders indicate reduced prices because of larger litters that have been produced and without concern for the maintenance of pet health.

A kitten should receive the appropriate vaccinations and must be cared for by a fully qualified veterinarian. A contract should be provided that indicates the steps that were taken for health checks and proof that the kitten does not carry genetic defects. The services that are provided by a reputable breeder can assist in ensuring that all health assessments have been completed.

All pets must be of the appropriate age before leaving the litter as it ensures the appropriate development and behavioral requirements have been met. Kittens should be released between 10 and 12 weeks and not earlier as it can lead to a number of behavioral issues and young animals have weaker immune systems. Poor breeders will often let kittens go as young as 6 weeks and must be avoided.

When buying a kitten it is imperative that the appropriate health assessments are completed and that genetic standards are upheld. Indications of cross breeding and poor health measures can increase the risk of pets contracting diseases. The seller must offer a contract displaying the genetic bloodline of the felines with a guarantee on well-being.

The litter should be viewed where you are able to travel to the seller to determine the environment that pets are raised in and whether kittens are clean and alert. The feline must be indicative of correct Ragdoll features and form that will assist in minimizing the occurrence of falling victim to a scam artist. Equipping oneself with the appropriate information can aid in finding healthy pets.

A reliable and a reputable breeder will offer recommendations to ensure that your Ragdoll is raised in a healthy manner and conducive environment. It is important that one is prepared for the long term well-being of these cats to assist in providing high quality care. With the appropriate measures in place, it can aid in finding a pet for the family.
