Reserving a kitten<\/h3>\n

\"\"Traditional Ragdoll kittens are $1,000.00; Minks are $1,200.00. \u00a0A non-refundable deposit of $150.00 is required to reserve a kitten, with the balance due by the pick up date. \u00a0Breeding rights are available for an additional fee.<\/p>\n

Kittens are reserved on a first come, first served basis by receipt of deposit. We accept PayPal, Zelle, and check.<\/p>\n\n\n

Health<\/h3>\n\n\n

All kittens receive their first shots, deworming, and a checkup by the vet at the age of 8 weeks.  The new owner will be responsible for having the kitten spayed or neutered unless breeding rights have been obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All breeders have been tested by the University of California, Davis Veterinary Genetics Lab and are HCM negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going Home<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Kittens are able to go to their forever homes when they are twelve weeks old. They will be trained to use litter boxes and scratching posts.  Kittens will also be well socialized, since they live in the house as part of our family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registration and Pedigree<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Maples Ragdolls are all registered with The International Cat Association (TICA) or ACA American Cat Association. We register the litter, and in turn receive registration applications for each individual kitten.  Upon taking your Ragdoll home, you will need to fill out this application, complete with the kitten’s name, and submit it to TICA or ACA to receive your registration certificate.  Three and five generation pedigrees can also be obtained from TICA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
