About the Ragdoll
The Ragdoll is a large cat breed originating in United States (California). Adult cats typically weigh 10 to 20 pounds and live 12 to 17 years. Typical traits: docile, people-bonded, limp-when-held, gentle.
Calm households where the cat will be indoor-only. Ragdolls are famously docile and easy to handle. Outdoor-access homes — the breed lacks survival instinct and shouldn't roam.
Adult Ragdolls need about 25 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent cats typically need 30 minutes. The coat is long-coated with moderate shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
LocalPetFinder aggregates adoptable Ragdolls from rescues across California, Colorado, and Texas into one searchable place. Use the city links above to narrow to your area, or browse the full list below.
