If You Want To Adopt A Ragdoll Rescue – Visit Our Ragdoll Rescue List On Our Blog. Be sure to scroll through to see all the kitties available!
Unfortunately, as with most pure bred animals, Ragdoll cats need to be rescued! This is no one Rescue Group for Ragdolls in the United States. However, there are several Ragdoll Cat Rescue groups (please see the links to them below), but you can always check with breeders to see if they have any breeding Ragdolls that they are going to retire from breeding and for whom they need to find a permanent forever home. If you are a breeder and would like to advertise your retired breeders on this site, please visit our advertising page.
Make sure you check out all the Ragdoll cat rescues, because if there is a cat that you are interested in, but is not in your area, sometimes arrangements can be made to get that feline to you!
Also, please be aware that most shelters list Ragdolls erroneously under Himalayan and/or Siamese, since Ragdolls are still not a very well-known breed of cat.
Another great resource for finding a Ragdoll is to do a search on Petfinder.com or Craigslist.com. There are a lot of Ragdolls out there that have been called a Himalayan or Siamese, so be sure to check them all!
Finding a Ragdoll Rescue can be a lot of work, but it will be well worth your effort!

Be sure to include a description of the cat with a reason for the rehoming as well as your contact information – age of the cat, whether or not s/he is declawed, neutered, etc. all helps.

Once the kitty is adopted, we can remove your contact information from the site. The site gets about 10,000 visitors a month and Ragdoll Rescue is one of the biggest pages hit.
I have helped adopt out several Ragdoll rescues through my site.
