Q & A

Joining our waiting list is completely free. Families on our waiting list receive priority notification and selection opportunities before kittens are announced publicly. While we can provide an estimated timeframe, breeding and litter availability are ultimately determined by nature. Wait times may vary depending on your preferences, including gender, color, and pattern. At Here Kitty Kitty Ragdolls, we believe in allowing our cats ample time to mature both physically and emotionally before entering our breeding program. Future queens are not bred until they are at least 18 months old, ensuring their health, well-being, and readiness for motherhood. As a small, in-home breeder, our focus is on quality rather than quantity. We carefully plan each litter and prioritize the health, temperament, and socialization of every kitten we raise. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to provide exceptional Ragdoll companions for their future families. Please keep in mind, we are a small in-house breeder, and NOT a MASS PRODUCER. 

Once INDIVIDUAL kitten pictures are posted, at approximately 5-6 Weeks of age, I require a "GOOD INTENT" NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of $300 to reserve your chosen ragdoll kitten until 10 weeks of age. We currently accept ONLY Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal SORRY, (Friends/Family Option). NO checks, NO cash app. 

• Deposit will be applied towards the total purchase price of ragdoll kitten. Remaining kitten balance is due at pickup.
• Do NOT send deposit without speaking with me, sending deposit automatically locks you into our purchase agreement contract.
• Once we have mutually agreed upon your kitten selection, the deposit must be received within 1 hour. If payment is not received within that timeframe, we will assume you are no longer interested, and the kitten may be offered to the next family on our waiting list. Pick of kitten goes in order of the waiting list, (FCFS method).
• If you choose to back out of your commitment, NO deposit will not be refunded. Non-Refundable deposits however are transferable up to 1 year from original received date, you must choose a ragdoll kitten within that year, from a different litter, and please note that kitten pricing may change for future litters. 
• In the rare event that an unforeseen circumstance affects the kitten while in our care and the kitten is no longer available, your deposit will be refunded in full.
• Once a kitten is placed on HOLD for you, we do not allow changes. This policy ensues no kitten misses out on their forever home.

• Our Ragdoll Parents/Kittens are registered with TICA. Kittens are born white and are evaluated for color and pattern development between 5-6 weeks of age. 
• PET KITTENS: 

          Kitten SOLD strictly as a PET, NO BREEDING RIGHTS. Registration paperwork will be withheld until proof of altering is received and verified, starting price is $2,300 and up. 

• Sorry I don’t DEVALUE my kitten base on marking or gender or” I just want a PET; I don't need registration paperwork". Our pricing is FIRM and NOT negotiable just as the care and service that we provide is not negotiable. Our pricing reflects the time, care and expenses we've invested into each kitten/adult daily.
• Prices are subject to change on any ragdoll kitten that has NOT been RESERVED. Like many breeders our cost have gone up significantly ever since COVID. All breeder expenses are different. Our price is adjusted accordingly and reflects our daily expenses, investments, paying for a sitter when I am away, food, replaced cat furniture, toys, food, litter, cleaning supplies, vet care.

• Our main focus is on making transition from our home to yours easy as possible. We carefully evaluate every kitten to determine the best time for them to begin their next chapter, as each litter and individual kittens develops at their own pace. Each litter/kitten is different they must hit all developmental milestones before leaving myside. Kittens need time to grow and gain social skills, sibling interaction, stronger immune, exposed to various stimulation, children, normal household sounds. 
• Kittens will be ready 10-12 weeks after birth. Some kittens may need to stay longer, at breeders' discretion.
• By the time kittens are ready they will be used to the litter box, eating hard food, weigh at least 2lbs, and have the necessary vaccinations.
• MONDAY-THURSDAY 9:30am-1pm. I will let you know within days of birth of FIRM PICK UP WEEEK, so you will have 3 months in advance to make arrangements. NO EXTRA TIME WILL BE GIVEN without boarding fees.
• (I am NOT a store with open hours). PLEASE be on TIME. Do not assume I am at home with nothing to do, other than to wait. "If your LATE, you will wait". Could be minutes or hours, I have other appointments and obligations, this is why time is so important.
• Be sure to SCHEDULE 48 HOUR VET CHECK.

TRY and plan to take a few days off so, you can have uninterrupted time to focus on new kitten.

• Sidney Torres Memorial Park is where I meet most families. 
• We offer Travel Assistance, I make FREQUENT trips to ASCENSION PARISH & GULF PORT, to meet other families. To help offset travel costs due to raising fuel prices, I charge a convenance fee of .75 per mile, 1 way. (Not much help, but it could save you at least 2 hours of travel). 
• New Orleans International Airport (MSY) if you're (flying in) to pick up your kitten. You need to bring a TSA-approved cat carrier, check with the airline for reservation/fees. If you choose to fly in, please be aware that you must arrange your flight during a time (I) will already be at airport. (10am-12pm). If you are unable to coordinate your flight within my timeframe window, I can likely arrange an alternative meet up time, for a convenience fee $50. Remaining balance is due at pick up, exact amount in CASH.
• CARGO SHIPPING is NOT included in price of kitten; shipping is an extra charge. (see heath guarantee). PLUS, extras etc.

• NEVER GIVE YOUR RAGDOLL CAT/KITTEN MORE THEN ONE VACCINE AT A TIME.
• *Never give rabies shot with distemper shot. 

We are NOT a store/facility/petting zoo, we are a CLOSED cattery.  

Please keep in mind this is my home; my TOP priority is the health and safety of my children/cats. *I am well aware of the "INTERNET BLOGGERS" that advocate for visiting the breeder and the kitten. The problem with these sites is their priority is the buyer and not the health of the kittens. What about the Kittens' Immune system / infectious diseases / airborne viruses / covid, or the UNKOWN dangers of inviting strangers into your home, who may or may not have good intentions, unfortunately breeders have been robbed and harmed. We previously allowed in home visitors when we used to bred Westies, but sadly all good things must come to an end. Families would come to visit and bring the whole extended family, while others would have their small children running around my home chasing after my Westies.
My days and weekends are very busy with three school age children. My off days are reserved for my responsibilities and other commitments. I simply can't ACCOMMODATE the numerous of daily request to come visit and stay 2 plus hours, seeing what kitten is drawn to you. 

• I’m available FACETIME with a scheduled appointment, I SHARE weekly, if not daily updated picture and videos.

I UNDESTAND MY POLICY MAY NOT SUIT EVERYONE, I ENCOURAGE FAMILIES TO SEEK OUT FULL-TIME BREEDERS WHOSE PROGRAM ALIGNS BEST WITH THEIR EXPECTATIONS AND COMFORT LEVEL.

• I require a DAILY BOARDING FEE of $25, for each additional day the kitten is with me pass pick up day. 
• I will not hold a kitten pass 12 weeks old, you will forfeit your money, and kitten will be resold without any other obligation to you. WHY!!!, YOU WILL BE PAYING FOR EXTRA, VET COST, FOOD, BOARDING, ADVERTISING KITTEN AGAIN AND FOR WASTING MY TIME TO FIND KITTEN A HOME. Sorry for ADDITIONAL COST, but people play games with days, trying to get next shots free, still convening spouse, scraping money together.

• Our PHONE NUMBER is not public listed, because I can't keep up with all of daily calls we get asking the same questions on the website, or the SPAM text messages.
• Once I receive your application, I will reach out to you with 24 hours. 
• Follow us on FACEBOOK, this platform is where I share all updates & show off my beautiful kittens. I am currently trying to get 100 LIKES on my Facebook page so I can begin hosting LIVE updates and video sessions.
