How To Purchase Ragdoll Kittens For Sale In Tennessee

By Kathleen Cox


A major challenge for people intending to own cats is finding where to buy them from. It has become so rare to encounter a legitimate breeder and it has become harder to distinguish bad breeders from good ones. The reason for this is that both types of breeders carry out similar advertising as they have access to similar media outlets. Thus, one has to be on the lookout not to fall for their tricks. What to know before considering ragdoll kittens for sale in Tennessee.

Ragdolls are beautiful cats that many people prefer to keep at home. To benefit the most from them, it is important to buy a high-quality kitten from a legitimate breeder or source. Many at times, people buy other breeds of cats thinking that they are ragdolls. This is because it may be hard to tell if the cat is a ragdoll by just looking at it.

Most legitimate breeders ensure that the cats they sell to their clients are authentic and purebred. This is done by hiring a veterinarian to do thorough examination of all cats to ascertain their genetic makeup. This is usually done on ragdolls when they are still young. When buying kittens, it is important to ensure that there are FIV/FELV negative.

Also, one needs to ensure the kittens have undergone all essential vaccinations. The buyer should ensure the kitten is vaccinated with FVRCP vaccine. This vaccine is among the most vital vaccinations. Distemper is the common term used to refer to this vaccination. Two years guarantee of birth genetic health must be provide by the breeder too. This tells that the pet can take two years without suffering from genetic problems.

On contracting any congenital or genetic condition, one is advised to take the kitten to a licensed veterinarian for verification. The verified condition ought to be presented in writing. In some cases, the cat succumbs to death from the condition before attaining two years of age. Here, one must conduct an autopsy. The autopsy needs to be from a credited laboratory.

Kittens that die of congenital or genetic medical conditions before attaining the age of two years are usually replaced by the seller. The quality of the cat provided as a replacement should be of the same quality or better. In the event where a genetic condition is diagnosed within a few days of purchase, one should be able to have their payment returned.

Ragdolls having being registered as a breed should be accompanied by registration certificates from the seller when buying. One is also advised to inquire on the parents of the kitten and proof of their registration certificates. It is a norm for the purchase to exclude delivery and shipping costs. To avoid such costs, one can personally pick up the kitten from the breeder.

A seller that does not provide a money back guarantee or a two-year birth genetic condition guarantee should be avoided. Also, sellers who demand very large deposits are to be avoided as well. Lastly, when making payments, it is important to do so using a payment option that can be traced to the receiver of the money.
