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.

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 Ragdolls it has in fostercare and the 400+ Ragdolls and other cats it has rehomed over the past five years. In additon the charity will continue to run its Lost and Found register, provide and develop the website as a resource for Ragdoll owners or would-be owners and host the Ragdoll Forum.

Did you adopt a cat via the UKRCC Adoption Scheme?

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 wish to let us know how they are doing, we would love to hear from you too.

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.

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.

We feel extremely priveleged that Tony has chosen to support us and very much look forward to working with him. We would like to give our heart felt thanks to Tony and we welcome him warmly, to the UKRCC team. To read a message from Tony, please click here.

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.
