Bringing Your Kitten Home: Three Easy Options
Flight Nanny Service
For most Southern California families, flight nanny service is the easiest and fastest way to bring your kitten home. Your kitten flies in-cabin with a professional courier from Sacramento International (SMF) to LAX, John Wayne (SNA), or San Diego (SAN), arriving the same day. We coordinate everything; you simply pick your kitten up at the airport.
Ground Delivery
For families who prefer ground transport, we work with a trusted pet courier service that delivers door-to-door in a climate-controlled vehicle. Ground delivery to Southern California is typically a 1-day journey with appropriate stops for the kitten's comfort.
Pick Up in Sacramento
Some families turn pickup day into a Northern California weekend trip. You're welcome to fly into Sacramento, pick your kitten up at our cattery, and either fly home or drive back. We schedule pickup appointments on weekdays between 10am and 4pm.
Why SoCal Families Choose a Sacramento Breeder
Southern California has a number of Ragdoll breeders, and many of them are wonderful. But many SoCal families seek us out for specific reasons:
- •Comprehensive health testing. We use Optimal Selection Feline to genetically test our breeding cats for 45+ conditions, including HCM and PKD — the two most serious genetic concerns in the Ragdoll breed. Many breeders test for far fewer conditions or skip genetic testing entirely.
- •Cage-free home environment. Our kittens are raised in our home, not in a cattery facility. They're handled daily from birth, exposed to household sounds, and socialized with our family long before they go home with you. Many SoCal catteries operate at scale, with cats raised in cages or kennels — we believe Ragdolls deserve better.
- •Transparent flat-fee pricing. Every kitten is $4,500 — regardless of color, pattern, or show quality. No upcharges, no markup based on appearance lottery, no surprise fees. What you see is what you pay.
- •Lifetime breeder relationship. Distance doesn't change the relationship. Whether you're in Beverly Hills or Coronado, you can text us anytime about food, behavior, or health. We're a resource for the entire life of your cat.
Wondering how to evaluate a breeder you're considering? Our complete buyer's guide walks through the credentials, questions, and red flags that separate ethical breeders from scams.
We also serve San Francisco Bay Area and Reno and Lake Tahoe families with the same TICA-registered, health-tested kittens.

Southern California Adoption FAQ
How does flight nanny service work?
A professional pet courier picks your kitten up from us, flies with them in-cabin to your nearest airport (LAX, SNA, or SAN), and meets you at baggage claim. The kitten travels in a soft carrier under the courier's seat and is closely monitored for the entire flight. It's the gold standard for long-distance kitten transport.
How much does flight nanny service cost?
Flight nanny service to Southern California typically ranges from $400 to $700, depending on flight availability, airport, and timing. We coordinate with vetted couriers and provide an exact quote once your application is approved.
Can I visit the cattery before adopting?
We schedule meet-and-greets after a kitten application has been approved and a deposit placed. This protects our cats from stress and protects families from the cattery-visit scams common in this breed. We provide extensive video and photo updates before any visit, and many SoCal families do the full adoption remotely without ever needing to visit.
Are Ragdolls a good fit for SoCal homes?
Absolutely. Ragdolls are an indoor breed and adapt well to apartment living, single-family homes, and everywhere in between. Their semi-long coat does fine in warm climates as long as you maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and provide plenty of fresh water.
How much do your kittens cost?
Every kitten is a flat $4,500 — regardless of color, pattern, or whether they meet show standards. Every kitten goes home spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, with TICA paperwork, a 1-year health guarantee, 30 days of free Trupanion insurance, and lifetime breeder support. See our full pricing guide for details.
What's the typical wait time?
Current wait time varies by color and pattern preference. Open color/pattern applicants are usually matched within 3-6 months. Highly specific requests (like a blue lynx bicolor female) may take longer. Joining our waitlist is the best way to secure priority when new litters arrive.
