Pricing
Our price, what it covers, what it does not, and how to tell whether any breeder's price is fair.
Every Lapdolls Ragdoll kitten is $2,300. That is the same price for every kitten regardless of color, pattern, or sex. A $500 deposit reserves one and comes off the total. Kittens go home between 12 and 16 weeks old.
Pattern-based pricing is normal in this breed. Bicolors often carry a premium, and a rare color costs whatever the market will bear. We do not do it that way.
Flat pricing means nobody pays extra for whatever pattern happens to be fashionable this year, and nobody gets quietly nudged toward a kitten because it is the cheaper one. You choose the kitten whose temperament suits your household. The price is already settled.
Three things, and we would rather be plain about them now than have you find out later.
| Item | In the $2,300? | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| TICA or CFA registration | Included | Your choice of registry at adoption |
| Age-appropriate vaccinations | Included | Given before the kitten goes home |
| Three-year genetic guarantee | Included | Replacement if the kitten passes from a genetic disease in that time |
| Parent DNA testing | Included | Both parents tested and clear. Kittens are not separately tested |
| Socialization and litter training | Included | Raised around children, dogs and ordinary family noise |
| Veterinary exam | Not included | You book and pay for your own, within 72 hours of pickup |
| Spay or neuter | Not included | Kittens go home intact on an agreement. We can arrange it for a fee, which delays the go home date |
| Travel outside the area | Not included | Local pickup and PDX cost nothing. Out-of-state travel is costed separately |
| Insurance | Not included | Optional, and worth pricing before you collect |
Our FAQ covers the policy detail behind each of these, including the vet visit, the spay or neuter agreement, and what the health guarantee actually pays out on.
Price follows what a breeder actually does, not what the kitten looks like. DNA testing both parents costs money. So does registration, decent food, and keeping kittens until 12 to 16 weeks rather than sending them out at eight.
If a price sits far below what you see elsewhere, ask what was skipped. If it sits far above, ask what the extra buys. The useful question is never the number on its own. It is what the number pays for, and any breeder worth adopting from will answer that without getting defensive.
The purchase price is the smaller half of year one. Setup, food, litter, vet care and insurance all add up, and people underestimate them. We have written an honest breakdown of what a Ragdoll kitten really costs in the first twelve months.
Ask us anything about pricing, timing, or which kitten might suit your household.
