Ragdoll Colours and Patterns...

Ragdolls are an aesthetically pleasing breed with colours and patterns to suit just about any preference. Our breeding program consists of blue and seal point Ragdolls in all 3 patterns; bi-colour, mitted and colour point. In addition to these traditional patterns and colours, we also have the more contemporary lynx and tortie points, and we are currently introducing the chocolate and lilac colours to our breeding program.

It is important to note that Ragdoll kittens are born white and they develop their colour gradually. A Ragdoll should develop full colour by 2-3 years of age. All Ragdoll cats are pointed cats with blue eyes. The following descriptions are based on the CCA, TICA, and CFA Ragdoll Standards. For further descriptions please see the full Ragdoll Standards for these associations on our Breed Standards page.
