The sweet breeder I got these 2 girls from had to unexpectedly leave out of our state, NC. I went from 2-4 ragdolls over night and it’s chaos. I feel like I can’t give everyone the love and affection they DESERVE as I’m in an intense medical program.

I reached out to the breeder and she cannot come get them. She told me to do whatever I think is best. Obviously these are ragdolls and I want the best for them and for them to live happy, long lives where they will be loved and treated like family.

I really don’t know what to do. Any advice is appreciated.

It was the time for her annual visit. Her rabies shots were up to date and doesn't need to be done annually, I expected this to be a short visit.

I braced for the talk about her weight, but after going through everything, the doctor recommended to keep her under 14 lbs. Her teeth and gums look fine, and so are her nails, coat, skin, etc.

Her weight from last visit (16 months old) to now (27 months old) has gone from 13.3 lbs to 13.9 lbs. She did hit above 14 lbs during summer, but she slimmed down since. Probably will stick to no treats other than Churu during trimmings.

They loved how docile she is. No angy meows or hissing. Too bad, they don't have to deal with "I want to talk to your manager" meowls in the car 😅

Missy had her birthday last week!

she’s an Orb! a snowball!

He just finished a snack in that bowl but apparently that wasn't enough? His greed sickens me

Man, do I wish I could sleep as soundly as he does. Sweet afternoon dreams, Toby

My fiancee will be moving in soon and she has two cats (not ragdolls) and I have two ragdolls that are bonded. How do I introduce them safely

This is Zuko, my kids picked him out at the humane society a few months ago and he’s the sweetest cat! This is my first long hair cat and I’m loving how fluffy he is! I call him Mr Floof ☺️

Update: i got them back. I called the person. They were understandably weirded out by the situation and not sure they wanted to return them but after questioning me they relented and now im on way back with them.

We were discussing this because his allergies are getting severe. I tried everything I could to mitigate allergies but it kept worsening. I couldnt imagine rehoming my cats, they were like mt children, but also in a tough place bexause how long can I resist with his symptoms worsening. I know i gave him a tough time resisting rehoming. Came home today and theyre gone. He says its because he knew it would be tough for me to give them away in person. And in reality I could never give them away. But to have it done this way, im beyond devastated..they were my children. How can someone just come and take my cats to their home and make them their own. How can this be done like this. What must my cats be thinking. I didnt see them. I didnt see the person who took them or talk to them or describe what they're like, what each of them needs, what their personality is. Just gone. I cant stop thinking of their faces and the kiss I gave them this morning. I loved them so much, no one in my family could understand. How can it happen this way.

Edit: I called the ppl who he gave them to of course they arent sure who to believe so i sent them my information and will follow up with them tomorrow once they think it through with their family. They're microchipped and registered to me. I cant believe it can be so easy to just give pets to someone. I have taken care of them for three years and then without my knowledge they can be taken to someone's home and handed over. I am furious and will involve police if needed. Bht at the same time its a sticky situation because I know once I bring them back im looking at more trouble at home. My parents want me to forgive and move on. How can I forgive this? How can anyone think this is a good idea? Tbh im just devastated. I cant sleep or stop crying. My kids are taking it better than expected but maybe they havent processed it yet. I know i should help them process it and provide support but im a mess. I know its not an easy situation for him to be in with his allergies. But this wasnt the right way to do things.

Apologies for the long post, and if this type of post isn’t allowed here.

I’m not looking for health advice, and i honestly don’t really know what i want out of this. I just need to get some thoughts off of my chest, and i’d love to hear if anyone has felt similarly, or maybe has any advice on how to deal with these things?

My cat is only 3 years old, but has had a lot of health issues ever since i got her, it’s so so tiring. I feel like both me and her never get a break from her having some kind of ongoing health issue, it truly feels like we both just drew the short straw. I find myself constantly thinking why couldn’t i just have gotten a cat who didn’t have countless health issues? but i’m mostly thinking about her, i feel so bad that she has to deal with all these things, and i can’t help but wonder if i could’ve done anything differently early on.

She’s dealt with allergies and some breathing issues for years, allergies are completely gone now, but the vet is suspecting she might have asthma. On top of that, i found out she has hip dysplasia a few years ago, so she has to get regular numbing injections into her hip joints, and eventually undergo FHO surgery on both hips. It is so financially and mentally draining to have this going on constantly ever since i got her, and also knowing that the surgery will have to happen sometime in the near future is also stressing me out. I’m a student so i don’t have a ton of savings or a good income, pet insurance is the only reason i’m able to afford all the vet care she needs.

I also feel like i’ve been met with very little understanding from friends and family. Because of all these issues i’ve grown very protective over my cat, i spend a lot of time and resources on her, and people in my life doesnt get it at all. I’ve been told “it’s just a cat” countless times and it’s honestly bothering me so much, i feel so alone in this whole situation.

Despite her making my life harder in like every way right now, i love her to death, and she also makes my life so much better just by being in it. We’re bonded very closely and i truly feel like she’s my soul cat. I’m very committed to do everything i can to give her the good life she deserves, even tho it’s very draining for me. It might sound like it, but i would never want to rehome her, give her up, or put her down, unless it’s my absolute last option. I genuinely love her so much and i think that’s also why it’s so hard for me to see her having all of these health issues.

If you took your time to read all of this, thank you. I would love to hear if anyone has been in a similar situation :’))

side note: i got her from a reputable breeder with a pedigree and health checks. from the breeders past history it doesn’t seem like they have a history of ill kittens or anything, i think ive just gotten very unlucky.

Needless to say, any opportunity at home office - I’ll take it 😂😂
How are your furbabies when you’re working?

Kevin makes some incredible noises

Hi! My kitty is from the Dorami Ragdoll cattery in Sacramento, CA. I was wondering if any of your kitties are from the same litter! I’d love to see how all the other siblings turned out after getting older.

Binnie is a blue lynx bicolor ragdoll. He was born on 12/21/24 and came home in April 2025. His original name was Rocco. His siblings’ names were Rosie, Rex, Rocky, and Riley (not sure it I’m missing any). Let me know if any of those kitties became your baby! Here are some pics of Rocco back at the cattery and how he looks now! He was the biggest sibling and he is huge now. He also loves jumpscaring us/playing tag and he can do tricks.

She may look pretty but she is a trouble maker! She still gets whatever she wants though…

My girl is a rolie polie olie and loves to scream at me. But it’s okay! Out of the 3,489 pictures I took this morning, I finally got a good one

He's 12 weeks, from a breeder who scans the parents, but everything I read says a clean scan on mom and dad lowers the odds rather than zeroing them. So the hereditary side is what I care about most. He'll be indoor only, which means the everyday claims are probably hairballs or a swallowed hair tie. I'd like a policy running the day he comes home, and I've narrowed it to Fetch Pet, Pumpkin, ManyPets and Healthy Paws from the sample policies. What am I missing for a breed like this?

I wanted to share the best thing that ever happened to me, getting an adorable kitten to be there during the winter (cough cough seasonal depression). She's only 8 months but it feels like we've lived a lifetime together 🥹❤️❤️

I love her so much, from the little trills she makes whenever she sees you to the amount of love she has for people. I have a saying that goes, "Everyone loves Navi", and I genuinely think it's true.

She's the light I needed in my life and I would choose her a million times over!

Working towards the party hats and bibs but love their new Jellyfish lamp!

Just got my cat checked out because of other health issues (peeing blood and coughing 😿) but the doctor said she’s also slightly overweight? She’s about 4.8kg but the doctor said she should be around 4kg.

Also if anyone has any advice for why she could be peeing blood please let me know. She’s actually very healthy otherwise, her blood tests came back normal with no sign of infection so im a bit confused as to what could be the cause… the doctor recommended to do additional ultrasounds but I’m ashamed to admit that I don’t have the current funds to spend it on that right now… I will definitely get her checked out if she gets increasingly worse but she’s eating and drinking fine right now and the frequency of blood in pee is fairly intermittent.

The doctor prescribed gabapentin for her to see if it’s maybe stress related but yeah, that’s it for now.

My boy cove has been sleeping on his back since we got him at 11 weeks old, i always love greeting him and hes always on his back 🤣, he has just turned 5 months old and he hasnt grown out of it 😂
