Delivery & Pickup
Safe and convenient options for bringing your Ragdoll kitten home, whether you choose personal pickup or professional delivery.
A Safe & Simple Way to Welcome Your New Ragdoll
We work with each family to arrange a pickup or delivery option that fits their location and circumstances.
At Liz James Ragdolls, we understand that not every family lives close enough to pick up their kitten personally. That's why we offer convenient delivery options in addition to in-person pickup.
Our goal is to make the journey from our home to your home as organized, comfortable, and safe as possible.
Delivery availability, timing, and final cost depend on your location and the delivery method selected. We will discuss the available options with you before arrangements are finalized.
Choose the Option That Works for Your Family
We currently offer safe crate delivery and ground delivery, depending on destination and availability.
Safe Crate Delivery
Safe crate delivery is available for families who need their kitten transported to their destination using a suitable travel crate.
Ground Delivery
Ground delivery may be available depending on your location. The final cost depends on the destination, distance, and delivery arrangements.
Personal Pickup
Families who are able to travel to us may arrange a personal pickup appointment to welcome their kitten home.
A Comfortable Way to Transport Your Kitten
For families who cannot travel to pick up their kitten, safe crate delivery may provide a convenient alternative.
Your kitten is transported in an appropriate travel crate that provides a secure space during transportation.
- Appropriate secure travel crate.
- Comfortable bedding or absorbent material as appropriate.
- Safe and organized transportation arrangements.
- Delivery information provided to the receiving family.
- Coordination regarding the expected arrival.
The exact delivery cost depends on the destination and transportation arrangements. We will confirm the applicable delivery fee before the delivery is arranged.

Ground delivery may be available for families who prefer transportation by road. This option can be particularly convenient for destinations within a reasonable driving distance.
Ground delivery starts from $300. The final fee varies according to the destination, distance, route, and transportation arrangements.
Before confirming your delivery, we will provide the applicable delivery information so you know what to expect and can prepare for your kitten's arrival.
Prefer to Pick Up Your Kitten Personally?
Families who are able to travel to us are welcome to arrange a personal pickup.

Pickup is arranged by appointment so we can have your kitten and paperwork prepared and make the handover as smooth as possible.
- Pickup appointment arranged in advance.
- Final payment completed at pickup.
- Kitten and paperwork prepared for the new family.
- Starter supplies provided with the kitten.
