Marty, the cat in the background, is the cat that I was thinking about adopting from a Shelter in Espanola, NM. But decided not to because of Rags' health. I kept an eye on him and luckily, he got adopted a few weeks later!
Cat Ragdoll Rescue or Ragdoll Rescue: Rescue a Ragdoll From a Pound, a Breeder or a Rescue Group
Unfortunately, as with most pure bred animals, Ragdoll cats need to be rescued! There are several Ragdoll 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 click here.
Make sure you check out all the Ragdoll 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!
If you currently have a resident kitty who you are thinking about finding a friend for, be sure to read our How to Introduce New Cats to Your Household Page.

If you sign up for the Yahoo! Group (just requires a free Yahoo! ID), then you can get daily notices of Ragdolls or Ragdoll wannabes (cats that look like
Ragdolls but probably have no "Ragdoll genes")across the country. Or go to Google (see search box below) and type in (your area) shelter OR (your area) cat rescue.
This is an example of the emails I receive:
