How to price Ragdolls!

Sorry, it is me again.

If my girl had been fully registered I would have sold her kittens for £300 -£350.

Now she is not registered I just wondered about how to price her kittens. I do not wish to be greedy, I do however hope for them to go to a good home.

I plan to advertise in the local pet shop, so hopefully people who are in pet shops at least take care of their animals. Although that could just be my way of thinking.

I have looked at various adverts and see people selling them from £150 (although I wonder if these are crosses) up to £400 (which I feel is a bit too much, possibly ?)

Any help on this matter would be fantastic.

Re: How to price Ragdolls!

I think it depends on things like what age will you be selling them at and will they be fully vaccinated and vet checked. If your girl isn't registered, then technically she isn't a pedigree, as you have no way of guaranteeing her parentage and ancestry.

Oh I see.

Just money for their inoculations then. They will leave here on or around their 14th week.

I will ask for £112 each then to cover this.

See what others doing the same are asking - moggie kittens are going for around that without jabs, so I'd consider £150 ish? maybe £200 as they are definatley pure bred. But I must admit I'm guessing.

Re: How to price Ragdolls!

After speaking to mother-in-law today, I shall have the "mating certificate" tomorrow as she is coming to see us.

I guess I could seel them as half GCCF

Poor Misty, anyway, I have lots of time to think about this. Just another random thought.

Re: How to price Ragdolls!

I would suggest that in order to stop unscrupulous people doing the same as you unfortunately have had done to you that you see if your vet will consider early neutuering your kittens. This will prevent any bybs using your cats to breed willynilly from. You could include the cost of neutering in the price of the kittens. I usually pay around £45 for a female spay at 14 weeks - a little less for the boys. You hang on to the kits for at least another week -10 days after to ensure they are over their op, have a final health check at the vets and then they can go to their new homes. A lot of folk are happy that this has already been done and the recovery of the kittens is amazing.

Obviously this is something you will want to discuss with your vet in detail - the pros and cons but it is well worth giving it some thought.

You could perhaps price your kittens around the £175 inclusive of neutering.

Re: How to price Ragdolls!

That is a very good point, ChinaBlue. I early neuter my kittens too, and they really bounce back quick. Much better than when they're older! Some vets aren't very happy about doing it, because they're not used to operating on such small kittens, but there is a lot of information on the internet now about early neutering, and more and more vets are happy to do it.
