Ragdoll Kitten Health Guarantee
At Almonte Cats, the health and longevity of our kittens come first. Every Ragdoll kitten we raise is backed by a written health guarantee and born from carefully selected, health-tested parents who meet strict breeding standards.
Our adult Ragdolls are fully screened through DNA testing for genetic conditions including HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) and PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease). Each breeding cat is FIV and FELV negative and receives routine veterinary care, premium nutrition, and an enriched home environment.
We raise our kittens in-home to build strong immune systems and confident temperaments. From the first days of life, they’re handled daily, socialized with children, and exposed to gentle household sounds. This produces the affectionate, stable nature that makes Ragdolls such remarkable companions.

Every kitten comes home with:
Our Families choosing our Ragdoll Kittens can feel confident they are bringing home a healthy, TICA-registered, health-tested Ragdoll kitten raised with care and transparency. We stand behind every kitten we produce and offer lifetime support for nutrition, wellness, and adjustment as your kitten grows.
In recent years, the cost of veterinary care has risen dramatically. Routine visits, vaccines, and testing have all increased, and we refuse to take shortcuts with our kittens’ health. Every kitten we raise sees a licensed veterinarian for a full exam and goes home with a clean bill of health. Each parent cat is DNA tested for HCM and PKD and certified FIV and FELV negative. These steps protect your kitten from preventable illnesses and support a strong, healthy bloodline.
We also take pride in breeding responsibly. Our females have only one carefully planned litter per year and receive the rest and recovery time they need between litters. We breed only when good homes are already lined up for our kittens. This approach allows us to focus on quality, not quantity, and ensures every kitten receives the attention it deserves.
When you bring home a kitten from Almonte Cats, you are not simply buying a cat. You are investing in a healthy, well-bred companion raised with care and honesty. A Ragdoll’s calm nature, gentle personality, and long lifespan make them truly special. The difference shows in every detail, from their health to their temperament, and that is why Ragdoll kittens from reputable breeders are worth more than the average cat.
Families often ask why Ragdoll kittens cost more than other breeds, and the answer comes down to time, testing, and ethical care. At Almonte Cats, our TICA registered Ragdoll kittens are the result of years of health testing, selective breeding, and hands-on socialization that simply cannot be rushed or mass-produced.
Ragdoll Breed Facts and Care
Are Ragdoll Kittens for $450? What You Should Know
If you come across an ad for a Ragdoll kitten for $450, it’s important to pause and look closely before sending money. Purebred, TICA-registered Ragdoll kittens from health-tested parents simply cannot be raised responsibly at that price.
Low-priced listings are almost always scams or backyard breeders misrepresenting mixed-breed kittens as pure Ragdolls. Many of these cats are not registered, have never seen a veterinarian, and are often sold without any health testing or vaccination records. Buyers who fall for these ads frequently lose their deposits or end up with a sick kitten that needs expensive vet care.
Raising healthy Ragdoll kittens the right way requires DNA testing, quality food, veterinary care, and months of hands-on socialization. Ethical breeders invest thousands of dollars into each litter long before a kitten ever goes home. That is why purebred Ragdoll kittens for sale in the USA typically start around $3,500 and come with health guarantees, registration papers, and lifetime breeder support.
If you see a cheap Ragdoll kitten for $450, it’s almost certainly not a purebred, and it may not even exist. Always verify registration with TICA, request proof of parent health testing, and speak directly with the breeder. Responsible programs like Almonte Cats are transparent about lineage, care, and pricing because protecting this breed’s future matters more than making a quick sale.
Why Our Ragdoll Prices
When you purchase one of our Ragdoll Kittens you are not just buying a kitten. You are investing in a lifetime companion who has been bred and raised with dedication.
Reflect true Value
A healthy Ragdoll kitten can live 15 to 20 years, offering companionship and calm energy to your household.
Your purchase price supports:
- Responsible breeding practices that protect the breed
- Veterinary testing and genetic screening
- Long-term breeder support
- Quality nutrition and enrichment from birth
Purebred Ragdolls from a good breeder are the best! And absolutely worth every penny. They are bred for health, temperament, and that calm, loyal personality that makes this breed so special. With their blue eyes, silky coats, and gentle nature, Ragdolls are as loving as they are beautiful.
Are Ragdoll Cats Worth the Price?
Ragdolls greet you at the door, follow you around the house, curl up beside you, and seem to know when you need them. They are social, friendly with everyone, and even get along with dogs. Many can be taught simple commands, which makes them even more fun to live with. The only downside is the shedding, but a lint roller, an automatic vacuum, and a good brush take care of that easily.
If you’ve decided the Ragdoll is the breed for you, please take the time to find a quality, TICA-registered Ragdoll breeder. Buying from an unregistered or careless source often leads to disappointment and contributes to cats ending up in shelters. Ethical breeders invest in health testing, socialization, and lifetime support — and that makes all the difference.
Shelter cats also deserve love, and occasionally a true Ragdoll or retired breeder may need a new home. But if you want the full Ragdoll experience , with the loyalty, the beauty, and the easygoing companionship this breed is famous for, do your homework and find a responsible breeder. These cats are worth every penny.

My 2 boys are sweet, affectionate and pure entertainment. I loved my experience, with AlmonteCats.
They have funny personalities and they really mellowed out as adults. The great thing about Ragdolls is unlike children, you get all the love without the stress.
