Kaerik’s. I searched the entire US for mine, as I had a ragdoll from a local breeder and he was sick from the day I brought him home. I’m still heartbroken and in debt, as he made it to 4 1/2 years, only because I brought him to every specialist including the University vet school. Which is fantastic, if you’re lucky enough to live close to one. I made sure the next one was from a very reputable breeder as I’d rather pay more than go through the pain of what I went through. Make sure they aren’t breeding the females back to back. I almost purchased from another breeder in the northeast and thank goodness I didn’t. I’ve since noticed the female I was going to choose a kitten from, (September of 2017) has been bred at least 2 more times since then, in a year! Honestly, possibly 3 times. And she had too many litters going on at once. I don’t think you can spend quality time with the kittens in that situation and she was charging $2000. Kaerik’s posts YouTube videos from the moment of birth and weekly until they’re ready to come home. It’s worth it after what I went through, I have the cutest purr floor and he’s so affectionate and friendly. Doesn’t mind the car and like everyone he meets. He does terrorize his brother some, but it’s playful. Worth it to have peace of mind that they’re really tested for HCM and PKD and the breeder cares sbout the quality of the breed.

I was lucky enough to find a breeder within 15 minutes of my home. She welcomed me to come to her home and see the kittens and parents before I made a commitment to purchase one. This is very important because you want to see how your kitten is raised. I was so impressed with her and the many cats in her care. The main part of the house dedicated to the cats was a sanctuary for cats. The area was surrounded by windows. Cats trees were lined up in front of the windows where the cats could climb up and look out with an abundance of sunshine coming through the windows. There was a multitude of bridges, ladders, slings, (specifically made for cats) attached to the walls for the cats to climb. Many toys available to entertain them all. Surprisingly, I did not detect any cat odors. And most importantly, all of the cats and kittens were active and healthy.

There are breeders out there that want you to buy a kitten based solely on a picture on the internet. They forbid you to see where they raise the kittens. They only communicate with you through emails. They want you to send them large amounts of money without seeing the actual kitten. They shouldn’t be in business. You risk disappointment and heartbreak. In my opinion it is well worth the extra money to get a quality kitten from a quality breeder with nothing to hide.

I have had my Purrsilla for about 2 months now and she is a joy! I took her to the vet the day after I picked her up and she received a clean bill of health. I am looking forward to many years of companionship from this sweet girl. She was definitely worth $2000.

I don’t know what Lynda is talking about, but this article is pretty spot on. If you look hard enough, I was able to find my ragamuffin for my mom for about $900. This came from a reputable breeder. Be aware of those who are charging more than $1,500. Usually, these are people who are looking to capitalize on the breed and charge way more than they are worth.

My tip is to make sure you search a few hundred miles outside of your home and make the road trip if you can save a few hundred.

my Ragamuffin kitten came with a 2yr guarantee, she had her shots and had been given a clean bill of health by a highly reputable veterinarian. She was socialized and adjusted to our home in a matter of a day.She is so sweet we fell in love at first site. We received pictures and phone calls from the breeder the entire time while we waited to pic her up.we bought from Broadway Darlings Ragamuffins in Phoenix and already plan to get a second one at Christmas. Best kitty ever and worth more than the 2000 we paid.

I got my kitty after losing other best friend and I’m extremely pleased with the breed! She’s absolutely beautiful and a welcome find for the price. I will have more of the same some day! !

This article is inaccurate. The sweet, cherub look comes from the fluffy whisker pads. The roundness of everything else helps add to the sweetness. I got both of mine from silverliningragamuffins and they were well worth it. We visited her home several times to meet them before they were ready to come home. We were always warmly welcomed and their house was nice and the kids were great. I really loved having a breeder with young children. The kittens were already prepared to be around my 3 year old granddaughter. I wouldn’t change a thing and if we decide to get more I will call her up in a heartbeat. It’s a military family, but I don’t care if they move halfway around the world I will go back.

I got my ragamuffin, kiwi, for ten dollars because he was on the death list. He was scheduled to be put to sleep ten minutes before I got him, because no one wanted him. He is the absolute best cat ever! Ragmuffins usually go for 600-1,500 dollars or more. I got a bargain!

I got my kitten for free, my friends got her for me, and we got her free because she was a rescue kitten.
