Your vet should be able to suggest a good groomer. And, some vets do offer grooming. Whatever you decide to do, it's time for you to learn about grooming and make sure he is brushed well at least once a week. Good Luck! Your Ragdoll can be shaved and his fur will grow in just fine.

Unfortunately you may have to have him shaved. The fur should grow back just as long as before as the fur length is in it's genetic makeup. It definately would be better than leaving the mats in of course. Be sure that once it has been shaved though, that you brush him out regularly to prevent him from rematting. Also, if possible, keep him out of water(tubs, sinks, etc) as when their fur gets wet and doesn't get brushed out right away, it tends to mat up. I have 2 long hair cats that LOVE to lay in the tub and the sinks and I am always struggling with mats on them. Good luck to you!

Brushing daily will help. I shaved the knots out, the fur grew back just fine. Brushing daily will help.
