About Our Ragdoll Kittens
When you choose to adopt a Ragdoll kitten from Bayou Dolls Ragdolls, you're not simply bringing home any ordinary kitten. You're welcoming an exceptional Ragdoll kitten into your life—one that epitomizes health, care, love, and embodies the finest traits of the breed standard.
​
We have an immense adoration for these beautiful cats, and it's both our passion and privilege to raise them, nurturing them with utmost care and affection to prepare them for their forever homes.
​
Our Ragdolls are not just pets; they are integral members of our family. They spend their days surrounded by our children, who play with and cuddle them endlessly. Our kittens receive abundant attention and companionship, benefiting from the extra time our homeschooled children can provide.​
Selective Breeding for Temperament
At Bayou Dolls Ragdolls, we take great care in selecting our ragdoll breeding parents. Only cats with the very best of temperaments are chosen to be part of our breeding program. This meticulous selection process ensures that we continue to produce Ragdoll cats, also known as "floppy cats" or "puppy cats," with exceptional personalities.
Puppy-Like Personalities
Ragdoll cats are often likened to dogs for their friendly and outgoing nature. They love nothing more than to snuggle, be held, and have their bellies rubbed. Their affectionate disposition means they don't mind being picked up and will often go limp, earning them the "floppy" nickname. This unique combination of traits makes Ragdolls a joy to have as companions.
Prioritizing Well-being and Socialization
At Bayou Dolls, we prioritize the well-being and socialization of our Ragdoll kittens by raising them inside our home, where they are integrated into our family life from the very beginning. Unlike some catteries where kittens and parents may be confined to cages, our Ragdolls enjoy a free and enriching environment where they can thrive.
​
Living inside our home allows our kittens to benefit from constant human interaction, helping them develop into well-adjusted and sociable companions. They are exposed to the sights, sounds, and activities of daily life, ensuring they grow accustomed to various stimuli and experiences from an early age.
​
Our Ragdoll parents also play a crucial role in nurturing their offspring, as they are active members of our household as well. By allowing them to coexist in a natural family setting, we foster positive behaviors and social dynamics that contribute to the overall well-being of our kittens.
​
We believe that raising our Ragdolls in a home environment promotes a sense of security, trust, and affection, laying the foundation for strong bonds with their future adoptive families. From the moment they are born until they are ready to embark on their new journeys, our kittens experience love, care, and attention every step of the way.
​
By providing a nurturing and supportive home environment, we ensure that our Ragdoll kittens grow up to be happy, healthy, and well-adjusted companions, ready to bring joy and companionship to their forever homes.
Providing the Best Nutrition for Ragdoll Kittens and Cats
Our ragdoll kittens and adult ragdoll cats are raised on the best quality diet. We feed our ragdolls cats Royal Canin dry food, high quality grain free wet food, freeze dried raw diet cat food, and fresh cooked chicken to ensure that all of our ragdoll kittens arrive to your home in optimal health.
Comprehensive Health Testing
We prioritize the health and well-being of our Ragdolls through comprehensive testing protocols. Our ragdoll cattery has been extensively tested for a range of health conditions, including Feline Leukemia (FeLV), Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), PK Deficiency, Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). In addition to these essential tests, we go above and beyond by conducting extra testing on all of our adult ragdoll cats for 50 different less common genetic ragdoll cat issues. This meticulous approach ensures that our cats are free from potential health concerns and genetic abnormalities. By maintaining rigorous health testing standards, we strive to produce healthy and genetically sound Ragdoll kittens for our adoptive families, providing them with peace of mind and confidence in their new furry companions.

At Bayou Dolls, we believe in keeping our prospective families involved and updated every step of the way. That's why we regularly share weekly pictures and videos of our adorable ragdoll kittens on our social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

What Age Should A Ragdoll Kitten Be When I Bring Them Home?
Ragdoll Cats Mature Slower Than Other Cats
Ragdoll kittens, with their fluffy charm, require a bit more time before they're ready to join their new families compared to other cat breeds. It's common practice among Ragdoll breeders to wait until the kittens are at least 8 weeks old, or even older, before posting pictures of them as available for adoption. This delay is because Ragdoll kittens can be a tad delicate during their early stages of development, emphasizing the importance of allowing them to stay with their mothers for an adequate amount of time. Ensuring they receive the proper care and nurturing early on sets the foundation for healthy and happy companionship in the future.
Color development of a Ragdoll kitten
Ragdoll kittens enter the world as adorable bundles of solid white fur, but their true colors and patterns begin to emerge gradually over the first few weeks of life. Typically, it's around five to eight weeks of age when the distinctive coloration and patterns of a Ragdoll start to become apparent. However, the evolution of a Ragdoll's coloration doesn't stop there. Over the next year and a half, their hues continue to develop and intensify, adding depth and richness to their already stunning appearance.
Ragdoll kittens are smaller in size than other kittens
Despite being the second-largest breed globally, Ragdoll cats follow a unique developmental trajectory. Unlike other cat breeds, they mature at a slower pace. Ragdoll cats continue to grow and develop until they reach around four years of age, a significantly longer period compared to most other breeds. As kittens, Ragdolls may appear more petite in comparison to kittens of similar ages from different breeds, reflecting their gradual and extended growth process.
Ragdoll kittens can take a little longer to wean
You may observe that our Ragdoll kittens are made available at a slightly older age compared to some other breeds. This is because Ragdoll kittens have a slower maturation process, requiring a bit more time to safely transition from their mothers. It's essential for kittens to be adept at eating dry food independently and maintaining a healthy weight before they leave their mother's care. This cautious approach ensures that our kittens are fully prepared for the next stage of their lives and can thrive in their new homes with confidence.
Best age for a Ragdoll kittens to go to their new homes
We adhere to the principle that Ragdoll kittens should ideally be a minimum of twelve weeks old before transitioning to their new homes. This ensures they are fully weaned, proficient at eating solid food, and maintain a healthy weight. It's crucial not to bring home a Ragdoll kitten younger than twelve weeks old, as this time allows for crucial development and socialization under their mother's care.
If you come across Ragdoll kittens aged between 12-16 weeks, please don't overlook them. This age range is often what's best for the kitten's well-being and development. Despite their age, Ragdoll kittens of this range are still considered small and may appear larger than they actually are due to their fluffy coats, which can obscure their actual size in pictures and videos.
