Frequently Asked Questions

 The Ragdoll is one of the most beloved cat breeds in the world, prized for its stunning beauty, silky coat, and famously gentle temperament. Known for their tendency to relax completely in your arms—like a “ragdoll”—these cats are affectionate, people-oriented companions who fit beautifully into both quiet households and active families.

• Gentle Temperament – Exceptionally calm, loving, and tolerant, making them ideal for families with children or other pets.
   
• Affectionate Nature – Ragdolls are known for following their humans around and greeting them at the door.
   
• Dog-Like Personality – Many enjoy being held, playing fetch, or even walking on a leash.
   
• Stunning Appearance – Large, sturdy build with striking blue eyes and a plush, silky coat that’s soft to the touch.
   
• Beautiful Patterns & Colors – Recognized by TICA, the breed comes in patterns such as colorpoint, mitted, and bicolor; popular colors include seal and blue, as well as chocolate, lilac, red, cream, lynx, and tortie.
   
• Slow to Mature – Ragdolls take 3–4 years to reach full size and coat length.
   
• Easy Grooming – Minimal undercoat means less matting; a quick weekly comb usually keeps them in top shape.

 No. Ragdoll cats are not officially hypoallergenic. Most cat allergies are triggered by the Fel d 1 protein (found in saliva, skin, and dander), which all cats produce. That said, many people with mild sensitivities find Ragdolls more tolerable because they have little to no dense undercoat, shed less, and spread less dander around the home. Their coat is silky—often compared to a bunny’s—which some allergy-prone families say feels less irritating. Practical tips: keep up with light weekly grooming, run a HEPA purifier, wash bedding regularly, and wipe down faces/paws after play. While we can’t guarantee an allergy-free experience, many of our Los Angeles adopters report doing well with our blue bicolor Ragdolls and seal bicolor Ragdolls. If you’re searching for “Ragdoll kittens near me” and have allergies, we’re happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before you reserve. 

 Yes—Ragdolls are famously gentle, people-oriented cats. Properly introduced, they typically do great with respectful children, cat-savvy dogs, and other cats. We raise our kittens in a home setting so they leave well-socialized and confident. For smooth introductions, start with scent swapping (blanket exchange), short supervised visits, and give everyone their own resources (litter, bowls, resting spots). Most families adopting our show quality Ragdoll kittens for sale in Los Angeles, CA tell us their new kitten is following the kids from room to room within a week. 

 Strongly recommended. Ragdolls’ trusting, relaxed nature puts them at risk outdoors (cars, predators, disease).

 Ragdolls are a large breed that matures slowly. Males commonly reach 12–20+ lbs, females a bit smaller. Full size, coat, and that majestic “plume” tail often finish around 3–4 years.
