How To Buy 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.

The kittens should also have received all necessary vaccinations. One of the most important vaccinations that a buyer must ensure that the kitten has received is the FVRCP vaccine. The most commonly used term for this vaccination is distemper. Also, the breeder must be able to provide a guarantee of two years of birth genetic health. That means that the cat should be able to go for two years without contracting any genetic conditions.

A licensed veterinarian can be hired to carry out the verification of the problem in event the kitten contracts congenital or genetic conditions before two years elapse. The verification must be presented in written form. An individual needs to conduct an autopsy in the event the cat dies due to a genetic condition before achieving two years of age. Autopsy should be done through an accredited laboratory.

For kittens that succumb to death before two years of age, the seller often replaces them. The cat provided as a replacement ought to be of a better or similar quality. If one makes an early diagnosis a few days after the purchase, they are usually given their money back.

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.
