A Guide to Ragdolls

The Ragdoll breed originated in California in the 1960s.

Ragdolls are generally gentle, relaxed, and people-oriented. Their sociable nature is sometimes described as puppy-like; each cat still has an individual personality.

Ragdolls are a large cat breed and can take around 3 to 4 years to reach full maturity.

Their semi-long coat benefits from regular brushing to help prevent tangles, especially around the chest and legs.

Ragdolls can appear in colours including seal, blue, chocolate, and lilac, and in colorpoint, mitted, and bicolor patterns. Little York raises blue and seal in bicolor and mitted.

Ragdolls can suit condo or apartment living when given attention, play, and space to explore indoors.

Many Ragdolls enjoy family life. Introductions to children and other pets should be gradual and supervised.

An indoor home offers protection from traffic, predators, and other outdoor hazards. Enrichment and play help keep indoor cats engaged.
