Buying A Ragdoll From Villaroyal
I usually have kittens available throughout
the year. However, if you wish a specific color and/or pattern, it is
advisable to let me know a few months in advance so I will have the kitten
of your dreams when you are ready.
Kittens are priced on an individual basis and
available in three categories:
PET QUALITY
Not to be used for breeding; price includes the neuter or spay which is
done for your convenience prior to leaving Villaroyal.
"Pet Quality" may have less than perfect
markings; however the temperament will be as nice as the show quality
kitten.
SHOW QUALITY - ALTER
Not to be used for breeding; price includes the neuter or spay which is
done for your convenience prior to leaving Villaroyal.
"Show Quality" have perfect markings,
outstanding type, size and temperament.
BREEDER QUALITY
Available on a very limited basis.
References and contractual agreement required.
Kittens are ready for adoption from 10 to 12
weeks of age. In addition, you can expect a:
Written Health Guarantee
Complete Health Exam
Vaccinations
Neuter/Spay of pet and show kittens
Worming
Pedigree
Application for Registration
Starter Supplies of Food, Litter & Toys

ADDITIONAL TERMS
Kittens are available to approved homes only.
I have a NO DECLAW policy and prefer you buy your kitten
elsewhere if you feel you must resort to this practice. Declawing is
extremely painful, healing requires several weeks to months, and in many
cases a cat's feet will remain sore for life. Cats need their claws for
daily grooming and for proper exercise of muscles by stretching and
scratching. In addition, claws are needed to help the cat balance and
jump. Villaroyal Ragdolls are taught from a very early age, that nail
trimming is routine and that the scratching post is a rewarding place to
scratch. Please visit my
"Feline Scratching" page to learn more about why cats scratch and
for informative articles explaining why you should not declaw.
EARLY SPAY & NEUTER
Your pet kitten will have his or her surgery taken care of before
arriving to your home. It is less stressful for a young kitten, rather
than waiting until 6 months or more of age. In the past, some have
questioned the safety of this practice. If you have any concerns, please
take some time to explore the links below. I have spent months
researching this subject and firmly believe that it is not only safe but
is the best policy for my kittens. They heal under my watchful eye and
the loving care of their mothers. Most often, kittens are back running,
climbing & playing with their friends the same evening.
Why neuter & spay? It will help eliminate fighting and the spraying of
urine. It will decrease the desire to roam outdoors, thereby decreasing
possible contact with other cats, thus reducing fighting and disease
transmission. Your pet will be a more loving and content companion.
Hope you enjoy your visit!
