You might have landed on this page wondering if a black Ragdoll cat exists. Unfortunately, according to the Ragdoll cat show world, black Ragdoll cats are not recognized, and they do not even consider them true Ragdolls.
Part of the reason black Ragdoll cats are so controversial because they are essentially shunned from competitions, even if you have documentation to show that they're purebred.
The first Ragdoll cats were bred by Ann Baker in California in the 1960s, with a white domestic longhaired cat Josephine that produced docile, affectionate kittens.
