Excited Cats advocates for adopting before shopping, though we fully understand there are many reasons for seeking a breeder. So, we encourage it to be done the right way. We have not personally visited or investigated all of the breeders below. We have put the top-recommended all in one place for you to get in touch and make the best decision for you. Learn more about our stance and how to choose the right breeder here.

The Ragdoll is one of the most popular cat breeds in the United States, and fans of the breed love its soft, fluffy coat and famously sweet and affectionate personality. Because the Ragdoll is a sought-after breed, finding a reputable breeder for your new Ragdoll kitten is especially important. You may find online ads for Ragdoll kittens or see them in retail pet shops, but be careful. Just like puppies, some purebred kittens may come from large-scale breeding operations known as mills.

To avoid mill kittens, which can often have costly health issues, it’s best to choose a responsible Oregon area Ragdoll kitten breeder who has a good reputation and is affiliated with an established cat breed organization.
