The Adoption Scoop:

​

*The cost of a kitten is $1900, plus Utah sales tax, if you live in Utah.  That includes 2 vaccinations, vet visit and spay/neuter, health guarantee, TICA registration papers, 30 days free health insurance through Trupanion and a blanket and toys.  

​​

*$300 non-refundable initial deposit with signed contract. If you change your mind about the kitten you chose, you can put the deposit towards another kitten (from same litter if one is available, or next litter, transferrable for up to a year) . Contract download here (if you live in Utah). If you live outside Utah, download here. Contact us if you have any questions before signing. If you are interested in a breeder, please contact me. 

 

*Shipping extra, if needed, through a courier service- usually around $450-650. We are located in Orem, Utah, about 40 minutes south of Salt Lake City. 

​

*Please do not vaccinate your cat for FeLV, FIV, FIP. That is rare in Ragdolls and can cause health issues. Doing so will void your health guarantee. Cats usually only contract FIV or FeLV if they are outside cats.

​

 ****You must purchase one bag of Life's Abundance and have it delivered before picking up your kitten. If you choose to change foods, this gives you enough food to transition to another food. Life's Abundance is a high quality food and it is recommended to continue feeding it to your cat.

Why adopt a kitten from Lightfoot Ragdolls?

​

Our kittens are raised uncaged in our home with lots of interaction with adults and children.

​

We have worked hard to bring in genetics that provide healthy, genetically diverse, high quality kittens/cats. We can potentially produce: Seal, Blue, Chocolate, Lilac, Cinnamon, Fawn. Until Merida retires after her next litter, she can produce red and tortie and (lynx- pattern). Patterns we can get are colorpoint, mitted and bicolor. We produce traditional ragdolls from our traditional mamas, and mink and traditional from our mink mama and mink only from our sepia mama. Merida, our sepia mama and Ember, our mink mama retire in 2025.

​

         As of May 1, 2025, TICA is changing the registration for mink, sepia and solid ragdolls to Cherubim. Until that point, they will continue to be registered as Ragdolls. Starting May 1, 2025, Cherubims will be able to be shown and rank at TICA cat shows. Until that point, they can not, as they do not meet the specific Ragdoll Breed Standards of pointed/blue-eyed, even though they are very much Ragdolls. Ember is a mink and Merida is a sepia. They are both retiring in 2025. We will only have traditional ragdolls at that point. They will both have litters the first half of 2025. All of Embers kittens born in March will be registered as ragdolls and the litter from Merida will all be mink and be registered as Cherubim when she has that litter this summer.

​

We allow visits about a week after their first vaccination, but not on the same day you visit another cattery or home where there are other cats. 

​​

Our breeders have been tested and are fully negative for HCM, FeLV, FIV, PKD and MPSVI and over 30 other genetic diseases. Records available upon request.

​

Your kitten will be spayed or neutered before going home. If flying, the kitten must wait 10 days after spay/neuter. If the kitten is not ready for spay/neuter by 16 weeks for any reason, you will have to wait until it is ready to leave, unfortunately.

 

Our kittens can go home at 12-16 weeks, with 2 rounds of vaccinations. The time for homing needs to be flexible, depending on the needs of a particular kitten. If the kitten is still here when the third vaccination is due, it will recieve that before going home.

​

Kittens have a 3 year genetic health guarantee for genetic or congenital diseases, as long as you continue to feed Life's Abundance. Otherwise, it's a 2 year guarantee. Once I retire, I will be unable to replace a kitten. Other arrangements will have to be made, should the need arise. Since 2011, we have never needed to replace a kitten!

​

We offer lifetime support. If you ever have a question about your cat, please reach out to us. We will do our best to impart whatever knowledge we have or can access to help. We will not offer health advice beyond very basic information, due to liability. Please contact your verterinarian for professional medical help. We may not have an answer for you, but we will do our best.

​

We have a no-declaw policy and expect our kittens to be indoor cats in your home.

​

If you have issues keeping your pet, we will accept the cat back. Example: owner passes away, severe allergies, etc. Depending on the situation, there may be a partial refund once the cat has been rehomed. We have legal information in the contract.
