“Raising perfect, healthy kittens for loving families everywhere”

Kitten Around Ragdolls is a TICA-registered cattery in Orangevale, CA (Greater Sacramento Area). We raise Bicolor, Mitted, and Colorpoint Ragdolls in a loving, cage-free environment — handled daily, socialized with care, and ready to join your family with confidence.

  • Registered Bloodlines
  • Comprehensive Genetic Testing
  • Comprehensive Veterinary Care
  • Safe Environment

We breed for the traits the Ragdoll is loved for — an affectionate personality, a relaxed temperament, and a plush, show-quality coat. Our kittens come from DNA-tested, championship-line parents and receive top-tier veterinary care, so each one starts life healthy and strong.

From their first day to the moment they go home, we guide the families who take them. The goal is a lifelong bond, not just a placement.

What Our Ragdoll Parents Say

I got my Ragdoll kitten from Kitten Around Ragdolls in July 2025, and the entire process was wonderful. Since I’m on the East Coast, Kiki went out of her way to FaceTime with me, talk me through the process, and answer all my questions. She was incredibly responsive and made me f...

We adopted our little girl Charly last year (she just turned 1!!). Kiki was great to work with and answered all of our questions about the kitties. I’m a newer cat mom so she has been a great resource for me when I have any concerns about our kitties health. You can tell she real...

Just wanted to share that Kitten Around Ragdolls was SO easy to work with and we are so happy with our new family ragdoll. She arrived by a pet nanny cross country which was also coordinated by the breeder. All went off without any issues and our sweet kitten arrived healthy, swe...

All About Your Ragdoll Kitten

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick and clear answers to help you adopt and care for your Ragdoll kitten.

FAQ
1How much are your kittens?

$4,500 per kitten, flat — the same price regardless of color, pattern, sex or eye color. A $1,000 non-refundable deposit reserves your kitten, and the $3,500 balance is due before pickup.

2What age are the kittens available for adoption?

Kitten selections usually occur around 10-12 weeks. Early spay/neuter is done at approximately 11-12 weeks, and kittens generally go home at around 12 weeks, once they have recovered from surgery and been cleared by our veterinarian, with microchipping and age-appropriate vaccinations complete. Some kittens stay longer when they need it.

3Do you health test your cats?

Yes. Every cat in our breeding program has a genetic panel run. Those panels include the HCM-associated mutation and the PKD1 mutation, along with coat, color and blood type. To be precise about what that means: genetic testing tells you whether a cat carries a specific known mutation. It is not the same as a cardiac ultrasound, and we don't describe our cats as "heart tested." Every kitten also has a veterinary clearance exam before going home.

4Can I see the kittens before adoption?

In person, yes — once your application is approved and your deposit is placed, we'll arrange a time for you to come and meet them.

Before that, you can see more than a scheduled call would ever show you. We keep a public, standing video record: years of video filmed inside our own home and cattery across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, plus a feature on The Cat Butler, a third-party channel we don't control. You don't have to ask and you don't have to wait — it's all there right now, and it's a deeper and more current picture than one call could give.

Same name, same Sacramento-area location, same phone number everywhere you find us.

Have a question about a specific kitten? Text (916) 545-5703 anytime.

5Do you ship kittens?

We don't ship kittens as cargo. For families outside driving distance we arrange a flight nanny, who carries your kitten in the cabin as their own carry-on and hands them to you the same day. Closer to home, we offer pickup in Orangevale, or — depending on your location — we can meet partway or arrange ground delivery for a fee.

Don't see your kitten?

Many of our kittens are claimed off the waitlist before they're ever announced here. It's free, there's no deposit, and it's not a commitment.
