How Much Is a Ragdoll Without Papers?
July 14th, 2010
I have a Ragdoll Kitten thats 10 months old and I dont have papers on her but the vet said she is full blood ragdoll.. I want to sell her on craigslist but I dont know how much I should ask for since I dont have papers on her…. Can someone help me out that knows about ragdolls… Thank you
Probably $2-300 depending on how much someone wants it and doesn’t care about the papers.
Why are you trying to sell her?
isnt’ she your pet?
I got one for $35 before… but someone else will ans/ (and give you grief about this one)
Sorry, there is no way to prove a Ragdoll is a Ragdoll without papers and therefore she isn’t worth much (in terms of money). No ethical breeder would let kittens go without papers, though, so either she’s a cross or her parents were not supposed to be bred in the first place. There are many cats that have Ragdoll features, and Ragdolls are not the only long-haired cats that can go limp when held.
Most people who have done there research would not pay for a "purebred" without papers and a health guarantee. Purebred 3-month-old kittens with the whole package average $600-700. You may be able to get a couple hundred from a less experienced buyer if you’re lucky and one comes along at the right time.
I’ve only met 1 vet in my life (42 years) who actually knew what a purebred Ragdoll actually looked like and she was a Ragdoll breeder. Vets are NOT trained to do breed identification. Without registration papers and pedigree, she is not going to be considered a purebred Ragdoll regardless of her parentage anyhow.
If you need to rehome your kitten, you’ll be lucky to just find a nice responsible kind home for her. She has no monetary value as a domestic longhair.
