Petteo Ragdoll Adoption Process
Inside Our Petteo Play Oasis & Sunroom:
Welcome to a true paradise designed entirely for our Ragdolls. Our custom-built sunroom allows kittens to bask in natural sunlight, which is essential for their physical and mental well-being, while enjoying our bespoke macrame swings and soaring wall perches.
Backed by our rigorous hygiene standards-including our fully organised medical & pedigree archive wall, every single corner is sanitised daily to maintain an uncompromising biosecurity shield. We don't just breed; we raise our family in a flawless, loving environment.
At Petteo, our adoption process is designed to be clear, fair, and respectful to both our kittens and their future families.
1. Reservation & Deposit
Families may reserve a place on our waiting list with a €500 non-refundable deposit.
Reservation priority is based strictly on the order deposits are received. Deposits are placed toward a specific pairing and cannot be changed or transferred.
Deposits are non-refundable and placed toward a specific pairing.
Each kitten is carefully observed as they grow, allowing us to guide families toward the best possible match.
This process ensures clarity, fairness, and thoughtful placement for all families.
Cattery Viewings:
To ensure the biosecurity of our young kittens against external viruses, and to respect our family's privacy, physical viewing appointments with Teo are strictly reserved for families who have placed their holding deposit.
Professional Documentation & Security
At Petteo, we prioritize transparency and the legal protection of both our kittens and their future families. To ensure a professional and secure adoption experience:
• Official Paperwork: Upon receipt of any deposit or final payment, we issue a formal Invoice from Petteo Ragdoll Ltd.
• Legal Agreements: Every adoption is guided by a formal Deposit Agreement and a comprehensive Purchase Contract. These documents outline our responsibilities as breeders and your rights as a new owner.
• Health Transparency: We are committed to breeding healthy, happy Ragdolls. All our breeding cats undergo rigorous genetic screening for HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) and PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) through reputable laboratories such as Laboklin (UK). Formal health certificates and clearance reports are available for review before any reservation is finalized.
2. Kitten Selection
Kittens may be selected from 8–9 weeks of age.
Kitten Selection Priority
Selection of kittens typically takes place when they reach 8–9 weeks of age, once their individual personalities and quality have developed.
The order of selection is strictly determined by the date the reservation deposit was received (First-come, First-served). The family who placed their deposit first will have the first choice of the available kittens in that litter, followed by the second family, and so on. This ensures a fair and structured process for everyone on our waiting list.
3. Preparation for New Homes
Our kittens remain with us until they are fully ready to transition.
Kittens usually go to their new homes at around 4 months of age
Timing depends on:
Healthy weight Neutering/spaying Full recovery and emotional readiness
We do not rush this stage, as it is essential for long-term well-being.
4. Going Home
Before leaving, each kitten will have:
Neutered / spayed
Vaccinations appropriate for age
Veterinary health checks
Microchip (where applicable)
Early socialisation and home-based care
Families will receive guidance to ensure a smooth and confident transition.

Our Environment
Our Ragdolls are raised as cherished family members in a spacious, custom-designed indoor playground and sunroom, complete with specialized cat swings and climbing structures. We believe that a stimulating, cage-free environment is essential for developing their famously sweet, well-socialized, and confident temperaments.
Our Secure Catio (New Section)
To provide our cats with the ultimate sensory enrichment, we have built a fully secure, bespoke Catio. This outdoor oasis allows our Ragdolls and kittens to safely experience the fresh Irish breeze, bask in natural sunshine, and watch birds with zero safety risks. It is the perfect, secure extension of their daily play and physical well-being.

A Final Note
At Petteo, we focus on thoughtful placements rather than volume.
