Frequently asked questions
Many families ask this question. I usually suggest not choosing a kitten based only on gender. A boy can be a very gentle gentleman, while a girl can sometimes be more dominant. Every kitten has a unique personality, so it’s always better to meet the kitten and see which one connects with your family.
In general, male cats may grow a little bigger than females when they are adults. Male cats also tend to recover faster after neutering surgery, and the procedure usually has less impact on their bodies.
Cats are just like people—some are dominant, some are shy, and some are very playful, affectionate, and smart. The most important thing is to think about what kind of personality your family is looking for and choose the kitten that feels like the right match.
The health of our cats is our top priority. Every breeding cat is rigorously tested through Optimal Selection for over 50 genetic diseases, including Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). Our cats are also certified negative for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).

Additional Tests (Always Available Upon Request)
• FeLV/FIV Test
• FeLV Test

Peace of Mind for Families
We provide a refund period and encourage all families to have their kittens rechecked by a trusted veterinarian. Our genetic health guarantee covers HCM and PKD and can extend for the lifetime of your cat.
Each contract is carefully tailored to the needs of each family, ensuring fairness and transparency for both parties.
Proudly speaking, we have not had any customers encounter serious issues in the past 10 years, and to date, no replacements have been required under any of our contracts.
To date, we have had 0 reported cases of FIP or HCM among kittens placed with customers under our official contract.
Yes! Ragdolls are generally excellent with children and other pets, including dogs. I also have photos from previous customers capturing many sweet moments.
Here’s why:
• Gentle and calm: Ragdolls have very laid-back personalities. They rarely scratch or bite, making them safe companions for kids.
• Affectionate: They often enjoy being held and cuddled, which children usually love.
• Sociable: Ragdolls usually get along well with other pets, especially if introduced gradually. They are not territorial or aggressive, so dogs and other cats are generally accepted easily.
• Playful but patient: They enjoy interactive play but are also patient and tolerant, which is ideal for households with energetic children or pets.
Tip: Supervise early interactions between kittens and very young children, as even the gentlest cat can be startled. Gradual introductions with other pets, especially dogs, usually take one to two weeks to build trust and friendship.
Importantly, we train our cats to be friendly and trusting toward people and other animals. Often, we show our Ragdolls to other customers’ dogs, and everyone is surprised to see that our cats are completely unafraid of new dogs.
Thinking too much can actually be unhelpful for first-time pet owners because it can make you overly worried. Adopting a pet for the first time is a lot like falling in love for the first time—you accept it when it comes and face any problems as they arise. If you keep imagining everything that could go wrong, you might never even take the first step. Does what I’m saying make sense?
Also, our adoption program is open to families from all backgrounds and is fully suitable for you. We perform DNA testing on all our cats for over 50 genetic diseases. Each cat is also taken to a veterinarian for a full checkup, and a health certificate is provided before you bring them home. We can pick up your cat from the vet for third-party guidance if needed.
To protect you from major cat diseases such as HCM and PKD, we also provide a signed health contract. We will personally teach you for at least one hour on how to use our transition nutrition and provide detailed guidance on caring for your new cat. You will receive printed materials as well as teaching videos to help you every step of the way.
After your cat arrives home, we will stay in close contact with you until your cat is fully settled. So, what is there to worry about?
Yes, Ragdolls do shed, but not as much as some other breeds. Their semi-long, silky fur tends to shed lightly year-round, with slightly heavier shedding during seasonal changes (spring and fall).
A few key points:
• Low maintenance: Regular brushing (about 2–3 times a week) helps prevent mats and reduces loose hair around the house.
• Soft coat: Despite their fluffiness, their coat doesn’t tangle easily, making them easier to groom than other long-haired cats.
• Allergies: If someone in your home is sensitive to cat hair, Ragdolls are not hypoallergenic—they still produce allergens—but their moderate shedding makes it somewhat easier to manage.
All of our customers receive a detailed guide on grooming and care, including a simple routine to keep shedding minimal and your home clean.
Ragdolls are beloved for their gentle temperament, but they are a long‑haired breed and not considered hypoallergenic. All cats produce the allergen Fel d 1 in their saliva, skin, and dander — and long‑haired cats may spread it more around the home. Some people with mild allergies still do fine with them, but others don’t.
Some of our family members have allergy issues but have successfully lived with cats. Because of this, we have created a document suggesting all relevant products, which we provide to customers who need this kind of care.
I also recommend arranging an in-person meeting, so your family can see how they might react after cuddling the cats. During the visit, I will provide personalized suggestions and guidance.
