Welcome to the UK Ragdoll Cat Community. Founded in 2004, we are the only UK registered charity dedicated to the welfare of the Ragdoll cat breed.

Do you have a cat homed via the UKRCC Adoption Scheme?

Although the UKRCC is not currently in the position to find homes for any new Ragdoll cats, the charity remains completely commited to all the 400+ Ragdolls and other cats it has rehomed over the past five years. If you rehomed a cat via the UKRCC adoption scheme and wish to contact us for support or can no longer keep your cat, please contact us by email. We shall endeavour to do all we can to help you. If you have a UKRCC cat and just wish to let us know how they are doing, we would love to hear from you too.

Minky and Kato are looking for a new family.
Can you offer them the loving home they need?

Minky and Kato are both nearly 11 years old and have been in the care of the UKRCC since April 2009. These beautiful, friendly Ragdolls are looking for a family who can give them a loving, forever home. Their foster Mum says:

"Kato and Minky are a lovely laid back pair. They are shy at first but once they get to know you they lap up any attention. The only thing they love more than each other is their baskets and pink cusions, they will chill out on them for most of the day, so much so that there belly fur is tinged pink from the dye!

Minky is definitely boss over Kato - she loves attention and will purr when she sees you and loves a belly rub. Kato is more stand back, although he also enjoys a cuddle. He recently nearly lost an but due to his laid back and good nature we were able to save it by putting drops in 6 times a day and you can barely tell there was any trauma there now.

As much as I have loved having these Raggies in foster care for almost a year, I really want them to be able to go to a home environment where they can enjoy their final years in comfort with a lap to curl up on."

To find out more about these beautiful Ragdolls and how to apply to adopt them, please visit their profile on our rehoming page.

Looking to purchase a Ragdoll kitten?

If you are thinking about approaching a breeder to find a Ragdoll kitten, please take a few moments to visit our Choosing a Kitten page. It offers impartial, straight forward advice about how to find a reputable Ragdoll cat breeder thus avoiding the heart ache and expense that purchasing a kitten from an unreputable breeder can bring.

An Appeal sent to us from a UKRCC Ragdoll Adopter

I had spent years watching TV programmes where people do good deeds and adopt animals in need thinking "what a good idea" but NEVER doing anything about it

Back May 2005 I did do something about it and found my beautiful boy Indiana thru' UKRCC website. I was amazed that pedigree cats needed adopting - how green was I! I did adopt him - travelled to Suffolk to fetch him and I can tell you he was worth every mile.

He is adored by his family and his ragdoll brothers and sisters. He knows that I know how lucky we were to find each other.

So anyone reading this please think seriously and give an older ragdoll a chance and you will be rewarded many, many times with the fun they will bring.

Read the success stories on this website as proof over and over again that it is a good idea.

Don't just read and think someone else can adopt him / her - fill in the form and see if you and your situation suits - remember the UKRCC only have the best interests of the individual cats at heart and want the cat to fit the home and the home to fit the cat - they are not being fussy or mean or nosey they are trying to ensure that the cat is rehomed for life and will not a few weeks / months down the line be back on the rehome list.

Is the Ragdoll Cat the right breed for you?

Lost Ragdoll Cat?

As part of our commitment to Ragdoll cat welfare, the UKRCC run a Lost and Found Register. If you have lost you Ragdoll Cat, please contact us with their details, along with the date and area they went missing. We will circulate the information to all relevant bodies and publish details on our website and forum. We also have an information sheet, offering practical advice on what to do when your Ragdoll cat is lost, which can be viewed at the following link: Lost Ragdoll Cat Advice.

Are you allergic to cats?

We have recently received several enquries asking if Ragdolls are 'hypoallergenic', in response to a growing number of articles on the web and most recently a feature in Observer Magazine (What would you save if your house was burning down?- 30/12/07), claiming that they are. This is a myth and these articles are misinforming people. Ragdolls are not 'hypoallergenic' and if you have an allergy to cats, you will be allergic to Ragdoll cats too.
