• Why a Ragdoll? Why you are seeking a Ragdoll over another breed of cat?
• Would you like a quick consultation to determine if the Ragdoll (or this breeder) is the right cat for you?
  Questions we may ask of you:
  • Are you away from home frequently?
    (Ragdolls tend to be very attached to their owners and fare much better with consistent companionship. If you work during the day, a second cat is recommended as a companion for your Ragdoll. If you travel frequently, you should consider taking your Ragdoll with you.)
  • Do you want an outdoor or indoor cat?
    (Ragdolls are strictly an indoors-only cat because they are overly friendly and less likely to recognize a threat.)
  • Do you have other cats whose health histories are unknown?
    (Make sure your current cats test negative for diseases like Feline AIDS and Feline Leukemia and are free of parasites before bringing a new cat into the home. You may not be able to return your cat if it is exposed to health risks.)
  • Is it possible that anyone in your household is allergic to cats?
    (It is best for all household members to visit the cat first before committing so allergy concerns may be addressed, if a concern. As above, you may not be able to return the cat after it's been exposed to health risks in your household.)
  • Can you commit to the lifetime welfare of the cat (15-20 years), including consistent, quality veterinary care?
    (We consider your purchase a permanent placement of the cat and do not want the cat to ever be under new ownership. We know you can't predict everything, but we want you to think before purchasing.)
  • Do you want to declaw your new cat?
    (Like many cat breeders, Hallmark Ragdolls considers declawing inhumane and unnecessary and will not sell to customers who are considering it. Feel free to ask us about easy, humane alternatives.)

Other questions or comments

• Feel free to ask us about any of your own concerns. We understand it is a two-way street.
• If you bought from us in the past and want to share your experiences and photos of your cat with others, please send them on. We'll consider posting them to our site!
