Purchase Information:
Please contact us to ask any questions you may have or to put a deposit down. All deposits are transferable to the next litter until you find the kitten you want. Please note, your deposit is transferable UNTIL you pick a kitten, and is applied to the balance of the kitten you picked. Deposits are NON-refundable. Kittens will be chosen in the order of deposits received. Deposits can be mailed by a check or through PayPal, or Venmo. We require everyone to wait until our kittens are 4-5 weeks to pick a kitten. We take individual pictures of the kittens around then. It's hard to wait, but the kittens' personalities haven't really developed until then. Usually there is a waitlist for kittens, so get your deposit in to reserve your place in line to pick a kitten.

Breeder kittens are double the price of pet kittens.
For breeder kittens, we will DNA test your kitten for coat colors, blood type, and HCM (all kittens are negative for HCM by parentage anyway). All kittens must be paid for in full-by cash-at pick up time.
After Deposit Is Made on a Kitten:
1. Once a deposit is made, we will mark your kitten as reserved on the website as soon as possible.
2. Within two days of making your deposit, you will be contacted personally by email to confirm your deposit has been received and applied to the kitten you chose. Close to the go home date, we will begin delivery arrangements. Kittens will be ready to go to their new homes around 12 weeks old. Kittens need around 12 weeks with their mom and siblings to learn vital skills that they will use their entire lives, such as using the litter box and also how to get along with others, whether it be with humans or other animals.
3. We will try to take pictures of your kittens every week or two. You will receive updated pictures every week or so. Please note though, I have a family and a busy life, and don't have the time to take new pictures every single day!
4. About 2 weeks before delivery of your kitten, we will contact you with information on what you will need for your kitten to come home, such as the type of food your kitten is on and the litter your kitten is used to. You will also be provided with information regarding when your vet visit should be, what you will need at that visit, in addition to reminders of which vaccines to get and not get.
5. Then we will confirm your desired method of getting your kitten home. You will also receive the above information in a packet that we will go over with you at delivery or pickup. The packet will contain our contract and your kitten's health record. Your kitten will see a licensed vet to assure you that you are receiving a healthy kitten.
What you get when buying a Tennessee Ragdoll kitten:
1. Your chosen TICA registered kitten, which will be able to go home at 12 weeks.
2. Vet Treatment & Health Info on our kittens. From birth, your kitten's health is our top priority. Your kitten will be vetted and receive age-appropriate vaccinations. You will receive a health record, health contract with a 2-year health guarantee for hereditary and congenital defects. The kitten will have all age-appropriate vaccinations. The recommended vaccinations will be given at the age of 10 weeks. All kittens are guaranteed FeLV/FIV negative upon leaving our home.
Please do NOT vaccinate your Ragdoll for Feline Leukemia (FELV) or F.I.P. (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). YOUR HEALTH GUARANTEE WILL BE VOID! Mortality in kittens is very high and the vaccine has a low effectiveness, and it may very well cause the disease you are trying to prevent. Please do not to give the Rabies shot within 4 weeks of other shots and give only in a killed format.
3. TICA registration papers, vaccine records and vet visits records.
4. A supply of the food that they have been on at my house. We feed 4 Health- all life stages. It can be bought at Tractor Supply stores.
5. A blanket with mom's scent and toys to help your kitten with the transition to a new home.
Visiting our Home:
You are most welcome to visit our home. Please keep in mind that our cattery is also our home. We do not provide "tours" of our home, just visits with our kittens. These policies are for the privacy and safety of our family and the health and well-being of our cats and kittens and will be strictly enforced. Allowing visitors increases the risk of disease and parasites brought in on clothes and shoes, so we must insist that you not visit any other catteries or shelters within 1 week prior to your visit with us. Visitation to see the kittens will follow these guidelines.
First- the kittens will be at least 8 weeks old and will have had their first shots, to help with their immunity.
Second- All visitation will be by appointment only.
Third- if we consider these visits in any way, harmful to our cats and kittens, no more visitations will be allowed. Please follow these guidelines so others can still enjoy visits with their kittens.
We appreciate your understanding and consideration when visiting.
