Buying A Ragdoll From Villaroyal
  
      I usually have kittens available throughout 
      the year. However, if you wish a specific color and/or pattern, it is 
      advisable to let me know a few months in advance so I will have the kitten 
      of your dreams when you are ready. 
          
Kittens are priced on an individual basis and 
available in three categories: 
      PET QUALITY
        
        Not to be used for breeding; price includes the neuter or spay which is 
        done for your convenience prior to leaving Villaroyal. 
        "Pet Quality" may have less than perfect 
        markings; however the temperament will be as nice as the show quality 
        kitten. 
  
        SHOW QUALITY - ALTER
        
        Not to be used for breeding; price includes the neuter or spay which is 
        done for your convenience prior to leaving Villaroyal.  
        "Show Quality" have perfect markings, 
        outstanding type, size and temperament.  
  
        BREEDER QUALITY
        
        Available on a very limited basis. 
        References and contractual agreement required.

weeks of age.  In addition, you can expect a:

      ADDITIONAL TERMS
        
        Kittens are available to approved homes only. 
        
        I have a NO DECLAW policy and prefer you buy your kitten 
        elsewhere if you feel you must resort to this practice. Declawing is 
        extremely painful, healing requires several weeks to months, and in many 
        cases a cat's feet will remain sore for life. Cats need their claws for 
        daily grooming and for proper exercise of muscles by stretching and 
        scratching. In addition, claws are needed to help the cat balance and 
        jump. Villaroyal Ragdolls are taught from a very early age, that nail 
        trimming is routine and that the scratching post is a rewarding place to 
        scratch.  Please visit my 
        "Feline Scratching" page to learn more about why cats scratch and 
        for informative articles explaining why you should not declaw. 
  
      EARLY SPAY & NEUTER
        
        Your pet kitten will have his or her surgery taken care of before 
        arriving to your home. It is less stressful for a young kitten, rather 
        than waiting until 6 months or more of age. In the past, some have 
        questioned the safety of this practice. If you have any concerns, please 
        take some time to explore the links below. I have spent months 
        researching this subject and firmly believe that it is not only safe but 
        is the best policy for my kittens. They heal under my watchful eye and 
        the loving care of their mothers. Most often, kittens are back running, 
        climbing & playing with their friends the same evening. 
        
        Why neuter & spay? It will help eliminate fighting and the spraying of 
        urine. It will decrease the desire to roam outdoors, thereby decreasing 
        possible contact with other cats, thus reducing fighting and disease 
        transmission. Your pet will be a more loving and content companion. 
        
  
        Hope you enjoy your visit!
