Never before eight weeks. A kitten leaves when it is weaned, litter trained, health checked and confident, and that is decided kitten by kitten rather than by a date on a calendar. Some litters are ready at eight weeks; others stay a little longer.
Yes, by appointment. You meet the kitten, the mother and the rest of the colony in our home on the Isle of Wight, and we send photo and video updates between visits. We do not do car park handovers and we never courier kittens.
A 14 day health guarantee from collection, covering conditions present at the time of sale, provided your own vet checks the kitten within 48 hours of collection. Every breeding cat here is tested for HCM and PKD, FeLV and FIV, blood typed and DNA screened for over 50 inherited conditions, with the certificates shown at visits.
Ring your vet first, then tell us. If a condition was present at the time of sale and your vet confirms it, the health guarantee applies. Outside the guarantee we are still here: you have our support for the lifetime of your cat, and if your circumstances ever change your cat comes back to us first.
Every kitten is microchipped and registered to you before it leaves, as the law in England requires. Vaccination timing depends on the kitten’s age at collection; your kitten pack shows exactly what has been done and what your vet should do next, starting with the health check within 48 hours of collection that our guarantee asks for.
Our Pets4Homes profile carries verified reviews from families who have taken kittens from us, and there are more in their own words on our home page. We are happy to put you in touch with a recent family if you would like to talk to someone directly.
Pure Ragdoll kittens are £850 with a £200 deposit; Ragcoons (Ragdoll × Maine Coon) are £600 with £150 down. The balance is due on collection. Every kitten comes with the kitten pack: microchip and registration documents, birth certificate and family tree, health and worming records, a scented blanket, toys, treats and food samples. Two kittens going home together get 20% off, and returning families get 20% off their next kitten.
Because we sell family pets, and registration papers exist mainly to enable breeding. Every kitten leaves on a written agreement to be neutered by six months and never bred from, so we would rather our paperwork matched our promises. It is only the certificate we withhold: the lineage is recorded by us across five generations of Ragdoll bred to Ragdoll, and a family tree and birth certificate come home in the pack. If you want a show career or a breeding programme, a registered breeder will serve you better.
Most of our families come from Hampshire, Sussex and around the Solent, and the ferry is part of collection day: Portsmouth to Fishbourne or Ryde, Southampton to Cowes, or Lymington to Yarmouth, and you are with us within the hour. You collect in person, meet the colony, and go home the same day with your kitten in the carrier. We never courier or post kittens.
No. All our kittens are sold strictly as cherished family pets and non breeding companions, on a written agreement to neuter by six months.
Reserve when you are sure, join the waiting list if you are early, or just ask.
