The best way to secure a kitten is to place a reservation deposit. Ragdolls are in high demand, and most of our kittens are reserved before birth—sometimes even before conception.
Only a small handful of kittens ever become available to those not on the reservation list, as 99% of kittens are chosen by deposit holders. If a kitten does become available, it typically goes to one of the top three approved adopters who have completed an adoption application and stayed in contact with us. In other words, unreserved kittens usually find a home within hours of being made available.
If you're serious about adopting a Ragdoll kitten, get on a breeder’s waitlist and place a deposit as soon as possible.
Even if you decide not to adopt from us, we’re happy to review other breeder listings for you. We can often spot scams before you do, and we'd rather help you avoid being scammed than see you lose money.
Be Careful. Know Your Breeder. Do Your Research.
✔ Never buy a kitten on impulse.
✔ Never purchase from someone you haven’t thoroughly investigated.
✔ Scammers and kitten mills are everywhere.
✔ Pet Kitten: Total adoption fee: $2,000 (includes $1,000 deposit) *2200/1100 Jan 1
Runt/retiring breeder: 1000$ deposit. *1100 Jan 1 Breeder uses the deposit to update their health care prior to go home. A good home is the priority for these cats.
We have usually spent a lot of time with runts and our kings/queens and they have been part of our family. We are PICKY about who they go to. We want a quiet home where they can be the center of attention like they so deserve. Usually are adopted to homes that have already adopted one of our cats, have no children under six, and have maximum of one other cat.
Your deposit secures your place on our waitlist and allows you to choose from available kittens when they are between 4–5 weeks old. At this stage, their markings, color, and personality become more visible.
If the current litter doesn’t have the kitten you want, you may pass and wait for a future litter without losing your deposit.
We have litters throughout the year.
Because… kittens make people’s brain cells stop working! 😆 We know how easy it is to get caught up in excitement, but adopting a kitten is a big commitment. Wading through the info ensures that your decision is well thought out, and it allows getting to know and trust us; which is key to sending a complete stranger all that money.
Why Are Deposits Non-Refundable?
Unfortunately, we’ve had trusted adopters change their minds or disappear after we’ve already invested in raising their kitten. The reality is, real breeders make very little profit—our costs for high-quality food, supplements, vet care, and registration usually exceed what we charge.
The saying “If you’re making money, you’re probably not a real breeder” is more accurate than most people realize! We breed because we love our cats, and the joy they bring to their new families.
Your deposit locks in your kitten price for one year.
Due to rising costs (vet care, genetic testing, etc.), we occasionally increase prices. If you have not chosen a kitten within a year, your price will be subject to any increases.
However, if you cannot take a kitten for a serious reason (e.g., illness, family emergency, or delayed litters), we may extend your deposit at our discretion.
📢 Price Increases & Update of Policies
Depositors may change their preferences for sex, color, coat, or markings at any time. We love knowing your preferences to guide you toward the right litter, but we don’t hold you to them. Ultimately it is the kitten or cat that wraps its paw around your heart that is chosen.
Aside from other breeders (who get first pick for breeding programs), our kittens are offered in the order deposits are received—this is the fairest way to do it.
Payment plans are available at our discretion.
Typically, payment plans are for deposit only ---to hold the adopters spot on the waitlist at the highest position
We always prioritize great homes over finances, so if you're experiencing financial hardship, just talk to us!
We always strive for the best adoption experience, but life happens. Here’s how we handle unforeseen situations:
✔ If your reserved kitten passes away, becomes severely injured, or develops an incurable genetic condition, you can have :
Adopting a kitten is a commitment, not an impulse decision. If you’ve read this far, thank you—your dedication tells us you're the kind of adopter who truly cares.
If you’re ready to start your journey toward adopting a healthy, well-socialized Ragdoll kitten, we’d love to welcome you to the Azure Sky Ragdoll family!

All our kittens are examined thoroughly a minimum of 3x by our veterinarians. Kind, caring and truly knowledgeable; we are extremely glad to have them.
Most other catteries send kittens home with perhaps one worming and one set of vaccines. Kittens have little defense against the viruses they will encounter if they have only 1 vaccination. .
Deworming at week 6, week 8 and week 12 based on their weight:
All kittens need worming at least twice to cover all life cycle phases of worms. All should have protection against round, tape AND heart worms . Most other breeders provide 1 worming and only against round worms.
Even though your cat is an indoor cat, they still require worming as worm eggs can be brought into the house on owners’ shoes or other pet’s feet. Always follow your veterinarian’s advice and we recommend purchasing your at home wormers from your vet. They tend to cover more types of worms, and be more effective. Wormers, flea, and tick medication can be lethal if administered incorrectly so always weigh your kitten first and follow your veterinary staff directions.
Flea, Tick Mite Protection:
Prior to going home kittens are also given protective anti flea, anti tick and anti mite protection. This is especially important for kittens going to the coast.
1st set of vaccines FVRCP @ 8 weeks (feline rhinotracheitis, calcivirus and panleukopenia) with a veterinary health check, paid by us.
2nd set of vaccines FVRCP AND initial leukemia @ 12 weeks (FRCVP booster and initial leukemia vaccine) with a veterinary health check. Paid by us also. All kittens may react strongly to this set because they now have antibodies.
3rd set of vaccines FVRCP, Leukemia booster AND Rabies vaccines @ 16 weeks (Leukemia Booster) with a veterinary health check, paid by us.
Current practices recommend redoing all vaccines in 1 year and then every 3 years.
We do not crate train your kitten, but we do make them comfortable being in their crate. All kittens are introduced to sleeping and playing in a crate starting from the first month. That way your kitten has its own safe spot when it goes home AND the trip home will be much easier.
You may buy one of our gently used crates for your kitten if you need.
Your kitten is gradually transitioned from all nursing to nursing and wet food and then onto a mix of dry and wet (canned) food. We initially feed the kittens 6x a day and then gradually bring it down to 4x a day and a 50/50 mix of canned food mushed into high quality dry food. Your health record will list your cats food regime.
High quality dry kitten food is ALWAYS available; free fed to ALL cats here...queens, kings and babies.
Lactose Free Formula that has extra calcium and probiotics in it when they are being weaned.
Friskies canned; any flavor
Canned water pack Sardines
Unless an early go home has been approved, our kittens will be spayed/neutered prior to going home. We get that out of the way for you. There will be no kitty feeling poorly and hating its cone in your home. We do it all for you and we do it well.
Since our kittens are part of our home, they are socialized to all the strange noises and sights that most homes have. They are also socialized to living with dogs. Sophia (head nanny), and Bear (assistant nanny) of course are constantly “on the job”.
The socialization that we do is extremely important to having a well- balanced, happy kitten later that transitions smoothly into your home and with the least stress.
Very important learning and socialization goes on between week 8 to 16. Because we only release kittens to to our Forever homes later than other catteries, they get to stay with mom longer AND spend time with dad longer (something most kittens do not get). During this time they are learning how to be a "proper" cat; in other words cat "etiquette" so they know how to get along with cats not in their immediate family better. They are handled daily and played with. We change out their toys to keep them mentally stimulated; adding new ones daily, and they are very happy kittens.
All kittens are completely litter trained before they go home. Your cats litter regime is listed in your health record.
As you wait for your kitten to come home, we keep you updated on the progress of your kitten. You may set up live audiovisual visits with your kitten once your choose it or visits to choose your kitten. We appreciate your patience in not taking the kittens too early, but we understand you do not want to miss out on any of their babyhood.
When its time for you to take your kitten home, we arrange a mutually agreeable pick-up time, date.
We can connect owners for Kitten Pooling. There is usually one each litter to the coast. This save owners time, money, and is less stressful for the kitten because it is traveling with a sibling. One person drives and the others share the gas costs.
Kittens flying
We prefer to not ship our cats. Cats with an escort is best. In Cabin flights are allowed out of our airport. so if you or someone you know is travelling through Kamloops we can bring your cat to the airport.
We can usually find you a cheap but gently used airline approved crate for your kitten to go home in, and make sure your cat has a health certificate, rabies shot as needed. .
We prepare you for Go Home We try to cover all topics most adopters need. If there is something specific to you just let us know.
Breeder support is for the life of your cat. We do not disappear when your kitten goes home!
You can call us 24/7during the first week after go home and anytime you are worried about your kitten. Often we can save you time, money, and worry by helping you decide if something is a "must see the vet" or "not.
If you are unsure of something such as introducing your kitten to other pets in your household, just call us. We love to know how our kittens are doing and can give helpful tips.

When can my kitten go home?
Kittens usually go home after they are spayed/neutered, microchipped and their 3 sets of vaccines are complete. We ask you to wait 3 days after neuter for boys, and 7 days after spay for girls because spaying is a more invasive surgery. Early go home at week 13 is at breeders discretion and you must complete any incomplete health care (alter chip shots).
What is a ragdolls personality like?
Ragdoll cats are known to be gentle, loving and sociable.
Do you adopt out retired kings or queens?
Yes we do and we usually retire them when they are about 3 years old so they are still young and can have a nice long life as a pet with their Forever Home.
Can I breed my Ragdoll?
Unless sold as a breeder to another ethical breeder, all kittens come spayed/neutered.
Are your cats tested for diseases?
Tica mandates the breeder to strictly follow certain rules. We never want to breaks some ones heart and sell you unhealthy cat. We DNA test all parents for 40 different genetic defects and as negative for feline aids or leukemia before they are allowed to breed.
Should we get a male or a Female?
We have truly found no difference between how social or loving they can be. If you prefer a specific sex, we can hold one from the upcoming litters if one currently isn't available.
How long do ragdolls live for?
Ragdolls are actually one of the longest living cat breeds, they generally live between 15-20 years.
What is Tica

All adopted kittens must be kept indoors except on a leash or in a carrier. Indoor cats live on average 10-15 years, while outdoor cats live on average 2-5 years.

No, this myth comes from their lack of an undercoat. Shedding this undercoat is what causes many allergies. Ragdolls are known to cause less allergic reactions however.
