Welcome to the UK Ragdoll Cat Community. We are the only UK registered charity dedicated purely to the welfare of the Ragdoll cat breed and to Ragdoll Cat rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming. The UKRCC is led by a small group of volunteers who, between them, have many years experience of the Ragdoll breed and animal welfare. We have 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, 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.

Socrate's Fund Raising Appeal

30th January 2008 Socs is a 5 year old, blue tabby mitted Ragdoll who is in the care of the UKRCC. Socs is a poorly Ragdoll and is going to require extensive diagnostic procedures and treatment, in the coming weeks and months, which we have been warned will be very costly. We are determined to ensure that Socs receives all the veterinary care he needs to live a full and happy life, but as a charity we have limited funds. We have launched an appeal for Socs to raise the money we need to meet his growing vet bills. To read Soc's story and for information on how you can help us, please visit our Soc's Appeal page

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 contact us and we shall do all we can to support you. Please call on 0870 766 9823 or email us.

Please note: While the majority of cats we rehome are Ragdolls, we also work with other breeds. We are always happy to help secure a new family for any pedigree cat, so please do not hesitate to contact, if you need our help.

Please do not use our emergency telephone helpline for general advice or general adoption enquiries.

Is the Ragdoll Cat the right breed for you?

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

If you are interested in adopting an older Ragdoll cat in need please visit our Ragdoll Adoption page for more information about the adoption process, to find out how to register your interest as an adopter and to meet the Ragdolls currently seeking homes.

Please note: We do not home cats on a first come first served basis, but arrange adoption to the home which can bestmeet 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.

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.
