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 and to Ragdoll Cat rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming. The UKRCC is led by a growing group of volunteers and has an active and successful Radgoll cat rehome and welfare scheme. We are not only commited to finding secure, loving homes for needy Ragdolls and other pedigree cats, across the UK, but we work to support Ragdoll owners in all aspects of Ragdoll care and to encourage responsible cat ownership. To find out more about our Ragdoll Cat rehoming work and the adoption process, please visit our Rehoming Page.

Due to circumstances beyond our control we are not currently able to help owners in finding new homes for Ragdoll or other cats. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Do you need our help to find a new home for your Ragdoll cat?

If you have a Ragdoll cat which you can no longer keep, for any reason, please visit How the UKRCC Can Help You for all the information you will need and for details of how to contact us.

Please note: While the majority of cats we rehome are Ragdolls, we also rescue other breeds. We are always happy to help secure a new family for any pedigree cat, so please do not hesitate to contact us, if you need our help. If your Ragdoll has a companion, whether pedigree or moggy we will work to find them a home together. We never split companion cats.

Is the Ragdoll Cat the right breed for you?

Please visit here to find out what it is really like to live with a Ragdoll cat before considering taking one on.

Do you have the life long love and commitment to offer an older Ragdoll Cat?

For more information about the adoption process and how to apply to adopt a Ragdoll, please visit our rehoming pages. To meet some of the Ragdoll cats seeking new homes, please visit our adoption page.

Please do not email us with enquiries about adopting a cat. All general questions are answered on this website.

Please note: We do not home cats on a first come first served basis, but arrange adoption to the home which can best meet the needs of the individual Ragdoll. No cat will be placed until a home assessment has been carried out. Due to the number of adoption enquiries we receive there is likely to be a wait for the right Ragdoll and we cannot guarantee that everyone contacting us will be successful in adopting a Ragdoll.

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.

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.
