Are Ragdoll Cats Good With Children and Families?
One reason families become interested in Ragdolls is their reputation for having gentle, affectionate personalities. But if you have children, the question is more important than whether a cat is
A small in home cattery on Florida’s Treasure Coast raising healthy, well socialized Ragdoll kittens in traditional colors. Every kitten is hand raised and placed with care.
While both male and female Ragdolls share the breed’s famous gentle, “floppy,” and affectionate nature, there are a few general differences in personality, size, and style of affection to consider when choosing your kitten.
Goofy, outgoing, and persistent attention-seekers
Gentle, sweet, and gracefully composed
Loving on their terms; prefer lounging nearby or cozying up when ready
Tends to shower equal love on the whole household
Picks one primary favorite person to bond with
15—20+ lbs (Larger, heavier, “teddy bear” frame)
Neutered males are often described as big, goofy “puppy-cats.” They thrive on interaction, will happily follow you from room to room, and aren’t shy about demanding pets or flopping right across your lap.
If you want a needy, highly social shadow who loves everyone who walks through the door, a male might be your ideal match.
Spayed females are deeply devoted and sweet, but tend to carry themselves with a bit more independence and dignity. Rather than constantly vying for your lap, a female is often content supervising your day from a cozy perch nearby, stepping in for warm cuddles when the time is right.
They are generally calmer, less vocal, and form extraordinarily deep bonds with their chosen human.
Keep in mind that early socialization and individual temperament matter most and neutered Ragdolls of either gender make exceptionally loving companions!
Each of our cats and kittens are chosen for temperament first, breed standard second, and genetic health throughout. Full profiles, photos, and pedigrees coming soon.

Bred for temperament as much as looks, Ragdolls are known for going limp when held — hence the name — and for following their people from room to room.
Ragdolls are calm, affectionate, and unusually tolerant. They tend to do well with children, other cats, and well behaved dogs.
Ragdolls follow their people around the house, greet you at the door, and want to be part of whatever you are doing.
Their semi long coat is soft and rabbit like. It mats less than most long haired breeds and needs only weekly brushing.
Naomi was a part Ragdoll we found at the Humane Society. She reached out and pawed at Travis as he walked past her cage. Anissa fell in love. Naomi came home that day.
She gave us several good years. The slow blink in the morning, the quiet weight on the couch in the evening, the way she followed us from room to room. When she passed, the house got noticeably quieter.
What stayed with us was how much one part Ragdoll had given one family. We started thinking about how many other families might want the same. Treasure Coast Ragdolls is the result.
We breed selectively and only in traditional Ragdoll colors. Health, temperament, and breed standard come first. Every breeding cat is genetically tested. Every kitten leaves home with two FVRCP vaccines, deworming, microchip, and TICA registration paperwork.
Our process is built around fit. We want every kitten matched with the right family, and every family ready for the kitten that joins them.
Subscribe to our email list. List members are the first and only people notified when applications open for an upcoming litter.
Applications open once kittens reach 8 weeks of age and we can confirm each one’s color, pattern, and personality.
If your application is selected, you reserve your kitten with a non refundable, non transferable deposit. The deposit is credited toward the kitten’s purchase price.
Balance is due no later than ten days before the go home date. We accept Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal.
We send the adoption agreement for electronic signature at least ten days before pickup. The contract includes our two year health guarantee against inherited genetic disease.
Read the full Conditions of Sale below before placing a deposit.
Kittens go home at fourteen weeks. By then they have had two FVRCP vaccines, are dewormed, microchipped, and spayed or neutered.
Pickup is in Stuart, Florida. We do not ship cargo. Local delivery and flight nanny arrangements are case by case.
We typically have one to two litters per year. Our next expected litter is summer 2026. Waitlist members are notified first when applications open.
We do not ship in cargo. Pickup is in Stuart, Florida. For out of area adopters we can help coordinate a licensed flight nanny at the adopter’s expense, or arrange local delivery on a case by case basis.
Fourteen weeks. By that age kittens have had two FVRCP vaccines, are dewormed, spayed or neutered, microchipped, and fully weaned and litter trained.
The deposit amount is set at the time applications open and is published with the litter announcement. Deposits are non refundable and non transferable, and apply toward the kitten’s full purchase price.
Our contract includes a two year guarantee against inherited genetic disease, plus a 72 hour guarantee on common ailments. Full terms appear in the Conditions of Sale below and are written into the adoption agreement.
Yes. All breeding cats are tested for HCM (the Ragdoll specific mutation) and PKD, plus a broad panel covering common feline genetic conditions. Results are available on request.
For the safety of our kittens, in person visits are limited to confirmed adopters and scheduled pickup days. We share frequent photos and videos with reserved families through pickup.
Look for transparency about registration, pedigree, parent cats, health practices, veterinary care, how kittens are raised and the terms of the purchase. A reputable breeder should also be willing to answer detailed questions before you place a deposit.
Read our complete guide to choosing a Ragdoll breeder in Florida.
Ask about the kitten’s parents, registration and pedigree, health testing, veterinary care, age at pickup, contract terms and exactly what your deposit reserves.
Learn more about the questions to ask before reserving a Ragdoll kitten.
Verify that the breeder can provide current information, photographs or video of the kitten; investigate the breeder’s identity and online presence; review the contract; and be cautious of pressure to send money immediately without documentation.
Every kitten goes home fully prepared. The published price reflects the full package below.
Florida residents add 7% sales tax. A non refundable deposit holds your kitten.
These terms are written into every adoption contract. Read them before placing a deposit.
Plain English summary. All deposits and payments are non refundable. We guarantee against inherited genetic disease for two years. Kittens must be kept indoors, may not be declawed, and may not be sold or surrendered to a shelter or breeding mill. If you ever cannot keep your cat, contact us first.
All payments, including the reservation deposit and any payments toward the purchase price, are non refundable and non transferable. The deposit holds the specific kitten reserved and is not credited toward future litters.
If a kitten dies within two years of the date of sale because of an inherited genetic disease, the purchaser must notify the seller in writing and provide a necropsy report from a licensed veterinarian. The seller will replace the kitten with one of equal or lesser value selected by the purchaser, when one is available. Travel and medical costs are the purchaser’s responsibility.
The kitten is guaranteed for 72 hours from the go home date against upper respiratory infection, internal and external parasites, FELV, and FIV. The purchaser must take the kitten to a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours. Documented health concerns within that window allow the purchaser to return the kitten within seven calendar days for a refund of the purchase price less the deposit.
The kitten will be kept as an indoor only cat. Supervised time on a leash, in a catio, or in a fully enclosed yard is acceptable. Free roaming outdoors voids the health guarantee.
The purchaser agrees not to declaw the cat. Declawing voids all health guarantees and is, in our view, an inhumane procedure.
Under no circumstances will the cat be sold, leased, or given to a pet store, animal shelter, research facility, breeding mill, or similar institution. If the purchaser cannot keep the cat, the purchaser will contact the seller first. The seller will accept the cat back or assist in placing the cat in a vetted home.
Kittens placed as pets are spayed or neutered before going home. Breeding rights are extended only by separate written agreement to other registered, ethical breeders.
If a problem arises, the purchaser will notify the seller in writing and give the seller a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue before pursuing public complaints, chargebacks, or payment disputes. The seller agrees to act in good faith on every concern raised.
The seller is not responsible for injury or illness to other pets in the purchaser’s home caused by exposure to or interaction with the kitten.
