You guys Sorry for the question if everyone is going to get offended. I am a crazy cat lady and what every kittens I would have I would keep. I own my home and I have three kittens already. I am finacialy able to support more. Just a couple more I would not mind. But maybe you guys are right. I should just buy a pure breed I hear they run for about 700. Thank you anyways I understand your points of view. When every I try to adopt they make it so complicated and time consuming all this proof and time and papers. Too much. If it were easier I would rather adopt.

To adopt is not that easy there is proof and verification, paperwork, to see if you even qualify then you need to be checked on for about a year someone keep coming to the house and its just so complicated and time consuming.

I find it interesting that other people you've never met seem to know what you want and don't want.
Check the web for cat shows in your area. That is where breeders "hang out" and someone there will be able to assist you.

Hi! I believe if you goal to produce purebred kitten, it is entirely
your decision. However, if you are going to have ultimately
a non-purebred, I agree with most of the board it is best to
adopt or save another homeless ragdoll or siamese. I am aware
that somepeople unfortunately only want kittens. Once they are
adult cat, they lose interest. Some people even give away or take a small donation for their purebred cat because it is not as "cute"
as when it was a kitten. Please keep in mind we all should committed to provide a forever home for our pet(s). If you are
financial, emotional, and time resources to adopt another kitten
or cat, I congratulate you. Please make sure if do adopt or obtain
a kitten/cat from a breeder that they are checked out entirely for
parasites (tapeworms, roundworms, heartworms, ear mites).
By the way, shy away from any kitten with cool or cold paws.
It is a bad sign. Good luck to you and the board!

So, let's get this straight. You want to bring more kittens into a world already full of homeless animals, using a purebred 'just' to mate once with yours to produce non-purebred kittens?
Then what? Are you going to keep all the kittens, or only the ones that come out the way you want? Where does the dad go after he 'just' mates?
Here's a better idea. You're close to a major metropolitan area, and it's still kitten season. How about going to your local shelter(s) to see if they have a colorpoint kitten or cat in need of a home? It's faster, easier, and creates less problems than trying to make your own.

Unless you are a serious cat breeder and your female is purebred, which I doubt since you said either a Ragdoll OR Siamese male and serious breeders don't cross those two because they can't be registered . . . visit your local animal shelter and ask them how many cats and kittens they had to put to sleep today. Even if you will "find good homes for them all," they will only add to the problem of too many kittens, not enough homes.
Please spay your female. Every heat cycle she has increases her chance for getting breast cancer (always a death sentence in cats), a serious uterine infection (pyometra), ovarian cancer, and uterine cancer. If she's an indoor cat, she will come into heat multiple times during the spring/summer months, will call all night and drive everyone crazy. Besides the overpopulation issue, there are many health reasons to spay your cat. Please be a responsible pet owner.

Adopt a Siamese or Ragdoll. Don't breed. It's ''kitten season'' and the adult cats in need of good homes are being overlooked.
Get your cat spayed, it'll make her life so much easier and happier.
Think about it....how would you feel if someone made you get pregnant just because THEY wanted a baby around the house.

Buy a magazine called "Cat Fancy" and look in the back at the classified. However, there are tons of unwanted cats already, why not wait for a Ragdoll or Siamese to come up for adoption at the Humane Society?

there is no such pedigree cat - what you've is a mixed breed. for ideas on respected Ragdoll cat breeders see RFCI (Ragdoll Fanciers club international), RFW (Ragdoll Fanciers international), RI (Ragdoll international) or RFC (Ragdoll Fanciers' club). you could also study breed descriptions on TICA (The Interntional Cat association), CFA (Cat Fanciers association), or CFF (Cat Fanciers Federation). TICA, CFA and CFF are valid cat registries. a respected breeder could have a freelance to guard the cat, and it may well be neutered or spayed. anticipate to pay about $seven hundred-$800 for a purebred kitten and make positive you've a health assure. It disgusts me even as innocuous human beings consisting of your self are ripped off even as there are a form of respected breeders who passionately guard, health examine and tutor their proper, purebred Ragdolls. regrettably, now and again each and every individual is purely searching for a "good purchase" and finally end up with some outdoor breeder who misrepresents the breed. there is also a Ragdoll Rescue you could contact....

Isn't there a By-law as to how many animals you may own in one dwelling? If not, there ought to be.
Adopt kittens from shelters and you will feel much better about yourself rather than trying to breed the perfect animal. You may even be in luck and find what you are looking for. Please, adopt and help those animals in need.

I think its great that u love cats and that u want to have more in ur life. I dont' think its cruel to breed ur cat if she is in good health and all. If u want more kittens with the same personality as ur wonderful cat there is no wrong in that. I would try and google ur area and what ur looking for. Somtimes u can find good animals on the computer. I had two wonderful ragdoll cats and i know the love and joy they bring into ones life good luck and i hope that you can find one to breed with ur cat.

If you want kittens go adopt some. It's kitten season...meaning there are millions of kittens flooding local shelters...many of these wont have a chance at life and will be euthanised because no one will adopt them because people think its cute to breed their cats, or they want their kids to watch "the miracle of life". Don't breed your cat. they have plenty of mixed and pure breed kittens in shelters. seriously. You want kittens go adopt them. Save a life...don't create another one. Get your cat spayed...it also prevents against uterine cancer.
