Adopting Your Kitten

We’re so glad you’re considering welcoming one of our kittens into your family! 🐾

Before completing the adoption form below, please take a few moments to read through the information on this page. It includes important details about our process and what to expect, helping you make the best decision for your family and your future kitten.

If you have any questions prior to filling out the adoption form, please send me a message here:

Who We Are

We are a small, family-run home cattery dedicated to raising well-loved, well-socialized kittens. Our kittens are born and raised right in our home, where they are part of everyday family life. From an early age they are gently handled and spend time around our children and our dogs, helping them grow into confident, affectionate companions.

The health and wellbeing of our cats is very important to us. Our breeding cats have been DNA tested for common genetic health conditions and show no abnormalities. While our King and Queen are not registered with TICA or CFA, our focus is on raising healthy kittens with wonderful temperaments that thrive as cherished family pets.

As a small home breeder, we intentionally keep our program limited. We typically have two litters per year, with an average of about five kittens per litter. This allows us to give each kitten the time, attention, and care they deserve during their earliest weeks.

We are located in Vancouver, Washington, just north of Portland, Oregon, and are happy to connect with families who are looking to welcome a loving new kitten into their home.

Adoption Process

ADOPTION PROCESS:

 

  1. Litter Announcement
    We announce each new litter when the kittens are one week old. At that time, our Reservation List opens. 

  2. Join the Reservation List
    To join the list, please submit our Adoption Form (linked above) indicating your preferences. Once we receive your form, we will contact you by email to answer any questions and confirm your place on the Reservation List.

    No deposit is required at this stage.

  3. Adoption Fee
    Our Ragdoll kittens are $900 each, regardless of gender or color.

  4. Kitten Matching (6–7 Weeks Old)
    When the kittens reach 6–7 weeks of age, we begin the kitten matching process. At this time, families on the Reservation List will be matched with available kittens based on their preferences.
    A $100 reservation deposit is required once your kitten has been selected.
    Please see the “Kitten Matching Process” section below for more details.

  5. Going Home (8–9 Weeks Old)
    Kittens are ready to go to their forever homes at 8–9 weeks of age.
    The remaining balance of $800 is due in cash on the day you pick up your kitten.

  6. Stay Connected
    For updates, photos, and kitten milestones, please follow us on Facebook or Instagram.

KITTEN MATCHING PROCESS:

  1. Matching Begins at 6 Weeks
    At around 6 weeks of age, the kittens’ colors, markings, and personalities become much more apparent. This is when we begin the kitten matching process.

  2. Reservation List Order
    We start with the first family on our Reservation List and work our way down the list in order. Each family will have the opportunity to be matched with an available kitten based on their preferences.

  3. Finding the Best Fit
    Our goal is to make the best possible match by considering both the kitten’s developing personality and the preferences and lifestyle of the adopting family. We will be honest about what we observe in each kitten to help ensure a happy and successful match.

    While we do our best to consider color and marking preferences, the final match prioritizes temperament and overall compatibility between the kitten and their future family.

  4. Confirming Your Kitten
    Once a kitten has been matched with your family, you will have 24 hours to confirm the match by submitting a $100 non-refundable reservation deposit via Venmo or Cash App.

  5. Deposit & Reservation
    After the deposit is received, the kitten will be officially reserved for your family. If the deposit is not received within the 24-hour window, the reservation will be released and the kitten will be offered to the next family on the Reservation List.

  6. Pickup Scheduling
    At around 7 weeks of age, we will contact you to finalize the time and location for your kitten’s pickup appointment.

  7. Visits
    For the safety and health of our kittens, we are unable to accommodate visits prior to the scheduled pickup appointment.

​​

​​​​​​​PLEASE NOTE:

We believe kittens bond best with their forever families when they join their new home between 8–10 weeks of age. Our goal is to place our kittens within this window so they can begin building a strong attachment with their new family right away.

Because of this timeline, we do not take the kittens to the veterinarian prior to pickup. This allows each family to establish care with their own trusted veterinarian and begin their kitten’s vaccination schedule directly under their vet’s guidance. Starting care with your veterinarian ensures that all medical records and vaccinations are documented from the very beginning with the clinic you will be using long-term.

For this reason, kittens will not have vaccinations or deworming completed prior to pickup, and we recommend scheduling your kitten’s first veterinary visit within a few days of bringing them home.

Our kittens are raised in our home and observed daily to ensure they are active, healthy, and thriving before joining their new families.

At pickup, families will be asked to sign our Adoption Agreement and Receipt of Payment. A copy of this document can be viewed here:
