*We have kittens that need to go home. Adoption fees have been reduced. Please see Merida's kitten page for current fees on her kittens.

*The cost of a kitten is $2200 (plus Utah sales tax of $163.90, 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 toys.

*$500 initial reservation fee 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. If you end up not choosing a kitten by the end of the year, $300 is refundable. (There is $200 admin fee that would be retained by breeder) . If you choose to continue to wait for another kitten past a year, you may, with the $300 refundable should you choose to go off the wait list later. Contract download here (if you live in Utah). If you live outside Utah, download here. Contact us if you have any questions before signing. Once the deposit and contract are recieved and both parties have signed, it is a binding contract. Your kitten won't be reserved until that is completed. Deposits can be done through Venmo or Cash app.

*Shipping extra, if needed, through a courier service- usually around $450-650. We are located in Orem, Utah, about 45 minutes south of Salt Lake City. The kitten would leave from SLC or Provo airport.

*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. If your kitten needs more than one vaccine, please do not do those the same day, but at least 2 weeks apart.

****I am feeding my breeding cats Paw Tree. Life's Abundance is also a good food and can be ordered through us. I highly recommend Paw Tree. They eat a bit less because it's more nutrient dense, and as a result, poop less. I've saved money on litter! If you want to extend your health guarantee, you can feed either food. You will need to purchase a small bag of Paw Tree to be able to change over to Life's Abundance or any other food. If you choose to feed Life's Abundance, you would also want to purchase a bag of Life's Abundance to start the switch. Again, either food will extend the health guarantee.

You must purchase one bag of Paw Tree food 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. Both are a high quality food and it is recommended to continue feeding it to your cat. www.pawtree.com/lightfootragdolls www.lifesabundance.com/lightfootragdolls

Breeding Rights info: We do sell with breeding rights. Deposit is $1000. Pedigree check must be done first to make sure they are compatable. Contact for more info and fees. Our cats are on Pawpeds.

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, well-socialized, high quality kittens/cats. We can potentially produce: Seal, Blue, Chocolate, Lilac, Cinnamon, Fawn. Patterns we can get are mitted, tortie and bicolor. We produce traditional ragdolls. Our breeding cats' pedigrees can be found on Pawpeds under LTFTRAGS.

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 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, unfortunately, you will have to wait until it is ready to leave.

Our kittens can go home at 12-16 weeks, with 2-3 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. To date, 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, a partial refund would be available once the cat has been rehomed, depending on what we can adopt the kitten/cat for and any expenses we incur between recieving the kitten/cat and rehoming. We have legal information in the contract.
