Obtaining a kitten from Foss Mountain Farm

Our pet-quality kittens are $525 and breeder/show kittens are $1200 and up.  We take a deposit of $100 to hold a kitten.

We require that buyers of our kittens sign a contract with us.  It protects the kitten and the buyer.  Our contract guarantees that, at the time of purchase, the kitten is free of the various diseases that strike kittens and catteries and that it is also free of worms and fleas.  It guarantees the kitten is free of inherited defects as well, for up to a year.  It also stipulates that the cat will not be declawed.  Ragdolls are easily trained to scratch on appropriate posts and scratching pads.  There is no need to mutilate their feet to prevent damage to your furniture.

For pet-quality kittens, the contract also stipulates that the buyer agrees to alter or spay the kitten.  It is very important that only serious breeders breed Ragdolls  and use the best-marked and best-built Ragdolls.  We certainly don’t want accidental births to add to the cat population!  As soon as the kitten is spayed/neutered and the buyer sends us proof of that from their vet, we will send the buyer the kitten’s registration papers for C.F.F. and T.I.C.A.

Our kittens are raised here in the house with us and the other cats and are given lots of socialization to get them ready for their new homes.  At about six weeks old they can ‘receive visitors’, so you can come and see the one you want.  At around ten to twelve weeks old, the kittens are mature enough to leave Mama and go to their new homes.  By that time they are litter-trained, eating dry and canned cat food and have been introduced to the scratching pads.

Here are some pictures of some of our kittens in their new homes.  As you can see, they get along with all types of family members.

This is Tybee Sea Parker with his best
golden retriever friend, Navy.
 

This is Elvis at 7 months old, who lives in luxury in Atkinson, NH.  He is truly ‘The King’!

 

This is Stitch, who lives in Skowhegan Maine and keeps one little member of the family company while she sleeps!

 

This is one of our more striking kitten faces, belonging to one of Mandy's son's, Mr. Stitches.  He lives with Elvis, in a household that now has two Foss Mountain Ragdolls!
