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.

ot be won. For more details of how to get involved, please visit
our Cat Show Page
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.
