How to Reserve a Kitten
- 1
Submit an Application
The first step in adopting one of our kittens is completing our required application. Applications are reviewed and prioritized, but submitting an application does not guarantee adoption.
Because we receive a high number of inquiries, the application allows us to efficiently review and respond to just the approved adopters. Please answer all questions honestly and provide as much detail as possible to help ensure approval.
It is important that you review our policy page during this step - you will be asked on the application if you've reviewed it.

Joining the Priority List
Our Priority List is how families reserve their place in line. A $500 deposit holds your spot and is applied to your kitten's adoption fee. We only open it once kittens are born or a pregnancy is confirmed, so you're usually weeks, not months, from choosing.
To join, you must place a non-refundable deposit of $500 via Zelle. You must be an approved adopter before we give out our Zelle details. Once received, you will be placed on our Priority List. Once kittens are available, we'll share photos and updates with our Priority List families.
If you are reserving from our Ragdoll Kittens For Sale page, then you will skip this step and jump straight to step 4.

Kitten Contract Agreement
Kittens become available to Priority List families at 8 weeks of age, in the order deposits were received. You will be contacted with kitten availability.
Once you select your kitten, we will send you a contract agreement to sign. You will have 24 hours to finalize your decision and return the signed contract. Please review our Priority List instructions for more information prior to joining.

Kitten Reservation
Once the contract has been signed and returned, you must send a non-refundable deposit via Zelle to secure your specific kitten. For those on the Priority List, the deposit is $500. For those not on the Priority List and reserving a kitten directly from our Available Ragdoll Kittens page, the deposit is $1000.

Remainder Payment
The remainder payment must be sent 3-7 days prior to pick-up day, using the same payment method. Payment must clear no later than 3 days before pick-up.

Pick-Up Day
The big day is here! Not all litters are raised in the same home, so pick-up is either at our vet office in Basking Ridge, NJ or in Upper Saddle River, NJ. Your kitten's pick-up location is listed on its litter.
Go-home add-ons
Add a few extras to make your kitten's homecoming even easier.

Nationwide Adopters
We love connecting our kittens with families across the country! Families flying in or using a flight nanny can meet us at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).
Nationwide delivery is by flight nanny. Our recommended flight nanny is SkyPetz LLC — we've used them several times, as do many breeders. You're also welcome to choose your own. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) handoffs are available only for families who are flying in or using a flight nanny. A carrier is essential for a safe trip home - feel free to browse our shop if you'd like us to provide a new one for you at pickup!
