Welcome to the UK Ragdoll Cat Community. Founded in 2004, 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.

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 the following link for details on how we can help you.

I need help to find my Ragdoll Cat a new home

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 us, if you need our help.

Loving Homes needed for Ragdoll Cats

We currently have several needy Ragdoll cats seeking new homes. Like many animal rescues at this time of economic unrest, we are seeing an increase in the number of cats coming to us for help, but a decrease in suitable adopters coming forward, so we are struggling to find new families. To meet the Ragdolls seeking new homes, please click here. To apply to adopt a Ragdoll please visit our Adoption Page.

Ragdolls face the credit crunch too!

As is the case with so many animal rescues, the task of finding the right homes for the cats who need them is becoming increasingly difficult for the UKRCC. The credit crunch is biting us as a charity and we are seeing a reduction in the number of people applying to adopt our cats, especially those who are older or have a history of problems. The UKRCC need your help to raise awareness of the plight of some of these cats. To see how you can help please visit here.

Socrates Appeal

Socs is a 5 year old blue tabby Ragdoll, who has been in the care of the UKRCC since January 2008. He is a poorly Ragdoll, with little hope of ever finding a permanent home, so as a charity we have made a life long commitment to him and he will remain with his foster family for the rest of his life. Socs has asthma and a neurological disease and as such he requires a high level of veterinary care, which is quickly depleting our charitable funds. If you would like find out more about Socs and how you can help us to continue to help him, please visit his Appeal Page or visit his very own youtube page to meet him.

Come and meet us at the Supreme Cat Show 2008

The UKRCC will this year have a stand at the GCCF Supreme Cat Show. We would love to have the opportunity to meet some of you there, so why not come along and support us? For more details, please click here.

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?

We currently have several Ragdolls looking for suitable new families.

If you are interested in adopting an older Ragdoll cat in need please complete our online application form. For more information about the adoption process, please visit our rehoming pages. To meet some of the Ragdolls seeking new homes, please visit our adoption page.

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.
