Ragdoll Kittens for Sale Near Me: Ragdoll Cats for Sale in Australia

Colourpoint, mitted or bicolour?

Pattern is about where the white goes, and it makes no difference to temperament. A colourpoint has no white at all: a pale body with darker ears, mask, legs and tail. A mitted Ragdoll has white front paws like mittens, white back legs to the hock, and a white chin and chest, often with a blaze down the nose. A bicolour has the most white, with an inverted V on the face, white legs and a white belly. Every pattern is the same $1,500.

Seal, blue, chocolate or lilac?

Seal points are dark brown, and blue points are a cool grey. Chocolate is a warmer, milkier brown and lilac a pale pinkish grey. Chocolate and lilac are less common in Australian Ragdoll lines, but every colour is the same price. All Ragdolls are born nearly white, and the colour keeps deepening until they are two or three, so the kitten in the photos will look richer as an adult. Every colour is compared side by side in our Ragdoll colours guide.

Boy or girl?

Both make excellent pets once desexed. In my experience the boys tend to be the bigger, softer, more clingy cats, and the girls are a little more independent and particular about who they sit on. If you already have a cat, I usually suggest the opposite sex to your current one, and our Ragdoll breed guide goes into adult sizes in more detail.

One kitten or two?

Ragdolls hate being alone. If the house is empty from 8 until 6 most weekdays, I would rather you take two kittens than one. Littermates settle together quickly and keep each other company. If that is not possible, a calm adult cat at home works almost as well.

When there is no Ragdoll cattery near you, it is tempting to purchase from whichever breeder is closest or cheapest. I would put distance last. A kitten flies for a couple of hours once in its life, but it lives with the results of its breeder's health testing and early handling for fifteen years.

Interstate buyers are also the people pet scammers target most. Before you pay anyone a deposit, check these:

• You have seen the kitten and its mother together on a live video call, not just photos.
• An NSW seller shows a Breeder Identification Number. Ours is B0273618228.
• The breeder names the pet transport company and you can contact that company yourself.
• Nobody asks for extra money mid-flight for a crate, insurance or a vaccine. That is the most common pet scam in Australia, and a real transporter quotes everything up front.
• Payment goes to a bank account in the breeder's or business's name, never gift cards or crypto.
