Kitten Health & Our Exclusive 5-Year Guarantee

At For The Love of Pete Ragdolls, we are committed to raising healthy, well-socialized Ragdoll kittens that thrive in their new homes. Our breeding program focuses on genetic health, early socialization, and responsible care, ensuring that every kitten we place is ready for a lifetime of companionship.

Unlike most breeders, we go beyond the industry standard with our exclusive 5-Year Health Guarantee, giving you peace of mind and a true commitment to your kitten’s lifelong well-being. This guarantee reflects our dedication to responsible breeding, superior health, and the confidence we have in every kitten we raise.

A Commitment to Health from Day One

Our Kittens Receive Expert Care Before They Ever Leave Our Home

We follow strict health protocols to ensure each kitten is thriving before going to their new home. Our program includes:

  • Comprehensive Health Exams – Every kitten is vet-checked before leaving.
  • We are an FELV/FIV free cattery 
  • Early Socialization – Raised in a home environment, handled daily by people of all ages.
  • Litter Box Training – Fully trained before leaving.

From the moment they are born, our kittens receive hands-on care to ensure they are affectionate and well-adjusted. We focus on early exposure to family life, other pets, and household sounds, making the transition into your home smooth and stress-free.

What Makes Our Kittens Exceptional

A Commitment to Health from Day One

From the moment they are born, our kittens receive expert care to ensure they are healthy, well-socialized, and ready for their new home. Every kitten undergoes a comprehensive veterinary exam, is screened for parasites, FELV, and FIV, and is fully litter box trained before leaving our care. We raise our kittens inside our home, where they receive constant socialization and gentle handling. This commitment to early care helps them grow into affectionate, confident companions who transition smoothly into their new family.

A 5-Year Health Guarantee Unlike Any Other

Confidence in Every Kitten We Place

Most breeders only offer a one-year health guarantee, and a select few extend it to three. We believe in standing behind our kittens for the long haul. That’s why we offer a full 5-year health guarantee, a rarity in the industry.

  • If your kitten passes away for any reason other than accident or neglect within five years of delivery, we will replace your kitten.
  • The replacement kitten will be of similar quality, provided as soon as one becomes available.
  • No monetary refunds will be given, and the buyer is responsible for the delivery fee of the replacement kitten.

We take pride in the health and longevity of our Ragdoll kittens. Our 5-Year Health Guarantee reflects our confidence in responsible breeding, genetic testing, and the care we provide each kitten. When you bring home a kitten from us, you bring home peace of mind.

Bringing Home Your New Kitten

A Smooth Transition to Their Forever Home

The first few days in a new home are important for a kitten’s adjustment. We provide guidance on how to help them settle in smoothly.

  • Vet Visit Required Within 72 Hours – Confirms health upon arrival and activates the guarantee.
  • Isolation for One Week – Helps monitor health and litter box habits before introducing to other pets.
  • Ongoing Support – We are always here for questions about nutrition, behavior, and well-being.

We love staying connected with our kitten families. Whether you need advice or just want to share updates, we’re here to support you long after your kitten comes home.

Ragdoll Kitten Health & Care

A Healthy Start for Your Kitten

Your kitten has already had two full veterinary exams, core vaccinations, and a routine deworming schedule while in our care. Please bring their vaccination record to your veterinarian so they can determine the next steps in their care.

  • Important Note: Ragdolls can be sensitive to the Rabies vaccine. We recommend that when this vaccine is given, it is the only vaccine administered that day.

Your kitten has also been socialized and groomed regularly. Continue brushing them a few times a week, trimming their nails, and providing a scratching post to maintain their health and comfort. We strongly oppose declawing, as it is painful and unnecessary.

Adjusting to a new home can bring small changes, so it’s important to know what’s normal and what’s not:

✔ Normal: Occasional sneezing, clear nasal discharge, and mild watery eyes.

⚠ Not Normal: Thick mucus, swollen eyes, excessive coughing, or sudden litter box avoidance—these may require a vet visit.

Your kitten is still developing their immune system, so keep them indoors and away from stray or outdoor animals. For the first few weeks, limit exposure to new environments to ensure a smooth transition.

Keeping Your Kitten Safe

Kittens are naturally curious, and some common household items can pose a risk:

  • Toxic Plants – Keep lilies, mistletoe, tulips, and other dangerous plants out of reach.
  • Household Exposure – Ask visitors to remove shoes and wash hands before handling your kitten.
  • Safe Spaces – Provide scratching posts and cat trees to keep them entertained indoors.

Grooming & Care

  • Brush at least twice a week to prevent tangles and reduce shedding.
  • Nail trimming is essential – Your kitten is used to it, so keep up the routine.
  • No need for frequent baths – Your kitten was bathed before going home and will groom themselves naturally.

Please reach us at fortheloveofpeteragdolls@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

We do everything with intention and care. Every adopter signs a contract outlining health guarantees, spay/neuter agreement, and respectful communication expectations.

A non-refundable waitlist deposit is required to reserve your place. Final payment is due in cash at transfer. All kittens are sold as indoor-only companions and are covered under a 5-year health guarantee (conditions apply).

We are extremely discerning when adding a cat to our breeding program. Diversity of bloodlines helps us to ensure that we are creating the healthiest purebred Ragdoll cats possible. We also place a high value on the quality of our breeding cats- in type and temperament- and we have found great success with imported Ragdolls meeting our standard. We have several cats imported from Poland and one sweet girl from China- it’s exciting!

No! All of our cats are TICA registered purebred Ragdolls. We breed Traditional Blue-eyed pointed Ragdolls, along with glorious Mink and Sepia lines which generally develop dreamy ocean blue aqua eyes or mesmerizing green eyes. All of our lines trace back to the lines of the original Ragdoll creator, Ann Baker.  

Yes, they do all shed, but frequent brushing at home can be enjoyable and relaxing for both cats AND their owners and helps keep the amount of shedding manageable. 

Generally speaking, Ragdolls are easy going, laid back cats with a desire to get along with all of their human and animal family members. The key to creating a pleasant relationship between your new Ragdoll kitten and your existing pet(s) and children is a slow and positive introduction period. We can help walk you through that, we are experts!

We have an optimal health guarantee that rivals any in the industry. We conduct extensive genetic testing on our breeding cats and only breed healthy and genetically sound adults. In the unfortunate and unlikely event that a kitten dies from genetic disease during the first three years of life, we will absolutely replace the kitten at the earliest possible opportunity.

Ragdolls are extremely social creatures! Two is always better than one when it comes to the mental health of your new feline friend. We understand that the cost of getting two Ragdoll kittens at once might be prohibitive so we offer a discount for families who are buying two. We do this because we love our kittens and we love it when we know they are going home with a built in buddy!

FTLOP Ragdoll kittens are priced at around 4-6 weeks of age and price is based on rarity of color/pattern and type. The price for each kitten is listed with that kitten, and it varies from litter to litter. You may find Ragdoll cat breeders with lower prices, and you will certainly find some whose Ragdoll kittens cost more, but we are dedicated to a luxury pet experience at a reasonable price. Instead of asking what does a ragdoll kitten cost, we encourage you to connect with the Ragdoll cat breeder who makes your Ragdoll kitten buying experience enjoyable and memorable. When you connect with us, your experience becomes our priority!

Our Ragdoll kitten buyers have built in support from us. We send your Ragdoll kitten home with a folder full of helpful tips for a happy transition and we are happy to answer any questions our families have. We’ve included a list of our favorite Ragdoll kitten supplies for you to browse.
