Our 1-Year Genetic Health Guarantee

Our 1-Year Genetic Health Guarantee

Each of our Ragdoll kittens comes with a 1-year genetic health guarantee.

Our kittens are guaranteed against the genetic conditions of HCM and PKD for their first 1 years of life, which are two of the most prevalent health conditions in the Ragdoll Breed. We take precautions to decrease the odds of producing Ragdoll kittens with genetic disorders by testing every cat in our breeding program prior to breeding. This genetic testing does not guarantee that your kitten will never develop HCM or PKD, but it significantly decreases the risk.

Our 72-Hour Health Guarantee

Fully outlined in our Ragdoll Adoption Contract

Each of our Ragdoll kittens comes with a 72-hour health guarantee.

Our kittens are guaranteed for 72 hours against FIV, FeLV and serious, life-threatening health issues. If a licensed veterinarian finds that your kitten has FIV, FeLV or another serious, life-threatening health condition, a refund will be given upon return of the kitten. Your kitten must remain quarantined from all other pets and animals during this 72-hour time period, or else you forfeit the ability to use this guarantee.
