Ragdoll Kittens Colorado: Recommended Breeders

Many people are looking for a Ragdoll kitten in Colorado to make their family complete. If this is you, you’re in the right place! Whether your family already has a furry friend or you’re looking for your first pet, our list of reader-recommended breeders that are in Colorado is the right post for you.

Floppycats is an informational website – and our tagline is “Uniting Ragdoll Lovers Worldwide.” While we can’t tell you exactly what to do to find a kitten from our favorite breed of cats, we want to be a resource to you in your search.

There is so much that goes into finding the right breeder for you and your family, and we want to make that process easier for you. We are not a Ragdoll breeder, but we do try to help facilitate and improve our readers’ relationships with their cats, whether they’re kittens or adult cats. Part of that is finding the right one for you!

Ragdolls captured our hearts with their affectionate temperament, beautiful traditional colors, silky fur, and beautiful blue eyes. If you are in love with those features as well, we would love to help you find your match. However, it is important to keep in mind that each individual cat is a living, breathing soul, who might not meet your exact expectations. 

Because all Ragdoll cats have different ancestors, they can develop different colorations and temperaments. Being the same breed doesn’t mean they’re all the same! Even cats with the same color patterns can develop those colors differently. If you’d like to learn more about how this can happen, check out our post about Ragdolls’ colors and patterns.

If you are in Colorado, we have some resources that can be helpful as you search for your ideal companion. We want all of our readers to find amazing cats, and we hope we can help make the search for reputable breeders more palatable.

Disclaimer about Scams

Although I would love to be able to help every person find a kitten that will make their family complete, I learned long ago not to recommend specific Ragdoll breeders in Colorado! It hurts my heart to see families who have lots of love to give running into scams, disreputable backyard breeders, lack of healthy ragdoll cats, and other negative interactions. I want to help each of my readers do their homework on reputable breeding practices and decide for themselves, to make sure they don’t have any less-than-amazing experiences.

Not only do we know general tips and tricks about how to narrow down breeders to find your own beautiful kittens, we also get a lot of input from some of our readers when it comes to their experiences with Ragdoll breeders in Colorado. We wanted to present some readers’ recommendations, paired with information on how to vet any breeders you might come across, so you can make your own personal decision and avoid getting scammed.

A small checklist to use while evaluating Ragdoll breeders in Colorado:

• Are they TICA or CFA (Cat Fanciers’ Association) registered?
• Do they show their cats?
• Do they conduct genetic testing?
• Do they keep kittens at least 12 weeks of age?
• Do they provide a health guarantee?
• Do the kittens come to you already spayed/neutered?
• Do you feel comfortable with the communication with the breeder? You want to be able to contact your breeder months or years down the road with questions.
• How long is their waiting list? Do they seem to always have available kittens, or do they space out each litter?
• Is your overall impression that they are trustworthy, or that there’s something off about them?
• Do they breed within the written standard of pointed, traditional blue eyed only? Do you care if they do not?  

Member of TICA and/or CFA

The International Cat Association (TICA) has their entire registry of catteries available to the public on their website, so you can check if they are being honest about being TICA registered. Be patient, when adding the cattery name into the search engine, it can take a minute or two to respond.

It is important to keep in mind, the TICA online list is only a list of TICA catteries that decided to pay an extra fee to be listed. It is actually a very small percentage of Ragdoll breeders in Colorado that did choose to advertise there.

For CFA (Cat Fanciers Association) cattery names, you can check on their website as well.

RFCI is another trustworthy database where you can check if your breeder is legitimate. The catteries listed there have been checked thoroughly to ensure they are registered with one or more of the major cat associations. They do sign a code of ethics as well. However, it is very important to do your own research and homework to make sure that they are truly living out those values.

There are unfortunately a lot of scams online, and it’s important for you to make sure you avoid them. We have a lot more information on Ragdoll breeder scams in a separate post to help you discern real from fake.

If you’re more interested in rescuing a Ragdoll cat than getting one from a breeder, we have the following webpage to help you find a Ragdoll Rescue in your area.

If you find someone you like, you can always send me a link to their website and if I see any red flags, I will let you know – that’s the best I can do. Nothing is truly guaranteed, but I can help you do your own research.
