At Petteo’s Ragdolls, you must submit a kitten application to be considered for  the adoption. When you first reach out to me, we’ll have a chat to discuss your ideal kitten. This includes preferences like gender, color, temperament and  an energy level. I always emphasized that temperament is primarily influenced by the parents and past kittens, rather than gender, especially in this breed where both parents are bred to be affectionate and easygoing.

Understanding Our Reservation Options

I would like to explain the differences between Pet-Quality Pick, Show-Quality Pick, Breeder-Quality Pick reservations.

• Pet-Quality Pick : These kittens will have perfect health conditions, stunning look and very calm and relaxing temperament, however, kittens may have mismarks (like a half mask of colour or white colour on their ears & colour on face) in another words, kittens are not consider for a cat show. This spot is €1300-€1500.  These kittens are perfect as new family members and are perfect for someone who will love and provide the best care for them. They will be sold with CFA registration.

The new owner will be required to wait that the kitten has been neutered for new home.

• Show -Quality Pick : This kitten will have perfect markings and be absolutely gorgeous!  Have a good eye colour and coat, bone structure. They will be sold with CFA registration. Show quality kittens are marked perfectly, They have a potential to win a cat show, although not guaranteed. If you just want to have a ‘perfect’ Ragdoll, then a show quality kitten is for you. This spot is €1600 - €1900

The new owner will be required to wait that the kitten has been neutered for new home.

• A breeder Quality Pick: Are the top quality cats that are perfect in all regards, and are priced the highest.  Fully document with five generation certificate included as well as CFA registration. This spot is €2000+

I will  provide pictures, videos and temperament descriptions along the way.  

The new owner will be required to wait that the kitten has been neutered for new home.

For Breeder : Please contact me in the Breeding/Active Contact Page. This is for Neutered Prices. 

Once I’ve paired you with an available kitten or a future litter, here’s how we proceed:

• If a kitten is ready to be reserved, I’ll request a full deposit. Full deposit is €500 and it will be deducted from the final  balance. Invoice with deposit agreement will be provided. 

• If you’re joining the waitlist, deposit is not required , however, you won't  be able to have priority to select your dream kitten as you would be in the queue.

• If no kittens or waitlist spots are available, you can provide your phone number and email to be added to my newsletter or messaging system for updates on future availability.

• Important Note: Girl spots fill up quickly, so waiting time for a female kitten may be a bit longer. it's all also important to keep in mind that deposits are nonrefundable and non-transferable.  

•  Why are female kittens  reserved faster? Common misconceptions like girls being sweeter or smaller influence reservations. However, temperament is individual and based on genetics.
  

Once you’ve secured your spot, I’ll send you the necessary documents via email:

• Waitlist Agreement: Includes expected wait times and deposit information. 

• Purchaser Contract and Health Guarantee: If you’ve reserved a specific kitten, this ensures all terms are clear.

Adoption Contract to be electronically signed by myself and the kitten purchaser. This contract must be signed when I received the full payment. This contract includes my 2 year health guarantee against genetic diseases.

* Please read our conditions of sale, before you purchase a kitten. (at the bottom of the page)

Choosing your Kitten 

At around eight-nine weeks of age, kittens will be chosen in the order of deposit (first pick, second pick, etc.). For last-pick adopters, I’ll let you know which kitten is yours. To help with your decision, I’ll provide:

• Detailed descriptions of each kitten’s temperament.

• Lots of photos and videos.

• The option to FaceTime with me to meet the kittens virtually.

 Watching Your Kitten Grow

While your kitten grows from 30 days to 14 weeks:

• You’ll receive updates through a shared Drive link for the litter, updated every 14 days when kittens pass 30 days. 

• Once kittens are chosen, you’ll get a personal Drive link for individual updates every 14 days.

Preparing for Your Kitten

By the time you reserve your kitten, he or she will be ready to come home to you at a minimum of 14-16 weeks of age. ( depending on the neutered and spayed recovery times)

While waiting for your kitten to come home, I’ll guide you through:

• Supply Lists: Ensuring you have everything ready for your new kitten.

• Vet Appointments: Book an appointment with a veterinarian. Start looking for a veterinary to take your new kitten to for a health exam. Many veterinarians have busy schedules, so I suggest booking an appointment at least 10 days before your kitten’s go home date which is at 16 weeks of age. Your kitten must be seen by a veterinarian within 72 hours of you taking possessions of the kitten. 

•Scheduling pick up: Two weeks after kittens have been spayed and neutered, you will have 2 weeks to pick up your kitten on Sunday's to Friday's only. 

Make sure you are ready for the pick-up or delivery of your kitten. I do offer free shipping (Dublin Area, Ireland). Or hire a pet flight nanny to bring the kitten to you. People from other countries may apply for my kittens, but they still must arrange the kittens delivery themself.

Going Home

Before your kitten leaves my care:

What’s included in your kitten’s binder.

• Tips for the first week at home.

• How to set up a safe room for isolation, supervision, and litter box training.

My care doesn’t stop when your kitten goes home. I’m always available for questions, updates, or just to see adorable photos of your kitten ( I can never receive too many! ).

What does my kitten come with?

Your kitten will be:

• Spayed or neutered

• Vaccinated: 1st & 2nd vaccines

• Microchipped

• Dewormed

• Health-tested: 2-year health warranty for genetic diseases HCM and PKD.

CFA registration E-Certificate( CFA registration form will be provided) and a copy of parent’s pedigrees available upon request.

Also copy of genetic testing results on parents is available which shows that they are negative for HCM, PKD.

You’ll also receive a bag of Petteo Ragdoll go-home gift bag. We ensure kittens are in excellent health before going to see a new family.

The best way to acclimate a new Petteo Ragdoll kitten to your home is to choose a small area where there is no where for the kitten to hide. Set up food, water, and litter in the room for when the kitten arrives. Leave the kitten in this small area for at least a few hours. Take the kitten out as often as you want, but keep them on your lap while petting them to make them feel safe.

Once you are sure your kitten is eating, drinking, and using the litter box correctly, then you can slowly allow them to explore the rest of the house. You should repeatably take the kitten back to the area with its litter box to make sure it knows its location.

Be patient with your new kitten. It can take a few days for kittens to settle in and feel safe in their new home.

Introduce other pets in the household gradually. Ragdolls typically are fearless and love everyone, so it shouldn’t take long for them to become accustomed to interacting with other  home pets. However, remember every cat is different. Some may take longer than others.
