Two-Year Health Guarantee
The health and wellbeing of every Ragdoll kitten we raise is extremely important to us. Our kittens leave our home prepared for their transition to their new families and are covered by our two-year health guarantee.
A Healthy Beginning for Your New Family Member
We believe every kitten deserves a careful start and a loving, responsible home.
At Liz James Ragdolls, our kittens are raised in our home with our family. We provide attentive care throughout their early development and prepare them for their transition into their new homes.
Before a kitten leaves our care, we make sure its age-appropriate vaccinations are up to date and that it has received appropriate deworming and parasite treatment.
Our kittens also receive early socialization, human interaction, litter training, and everyday care appropriate for their age.
Families should carefully review the written guarantee before completing their purchase.
Health Preparation Before Leaving Our Care
We take several important steps to prepare our kittens before they join their new families.
Vaccinations
Kittens are vaccinated and kept up to date with vaccinations appropriate for their age before leaving our care.
Deworming
Appropriate deworming is provided as part of our preparation for the kitten's transition to its new home.
Parasite Treatment
Appropriate parasite treatments are provided before kittens leave our care.
Health Records
Applicable veterinary and health documentation is provided with the kitten's going-home paperwork.
Early Socialization
Kittens receive regular human interaction, gentle handling, affection, and age-appropriate socialization.
Litter Training
Kittens are introduced to litter-box habits and potty pads so their families can continue familiar routines after they arrive home.
Our Two-Year Health Guarantee
Liz James Ragdolls provides a two-year health guarantee for our kittens, subject to the terms and conditions of the written health guarantee agreement.
The purpose of our guarantee is to provide families with additional peace of mind when welcoming one of our Ragdoll kittens into their home.
The guarantee begins according to the date and conditions stated in the written agreement provided with the kitten.
Because every kitten and situation can be different, families should read the complete written health guarantee before finalizing their purchase.
Your Role in Keeping Your Kitten Healthy
Good health continues with proper care after your kitten joins your family.
Once your kitten goes home, the new family becomes responsible for continuing its veterinary care, nutrition, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and general wellbeing.
- Schedule a veterinary examination after bringing your kitten home.
- Continue vaccinations according to your veterinarian's recommendations.
- Follow appropriate parasite-prevention recommendations.
- Provide a nutritious, age-appropriate diet.
- Provide fresh water every day.
- Keep the kitten's litter area clean.
- Provide a safe, clean, comfortable home environment.
- Provide regular grooming and appropriate coat care.
- Monitor your kitten's health, appetite, behavior, and development.
- Contact a veterinarian promptly if your kitten becomes ill or shows concerning symptoms.
Our health guarantee does not replace regular veterinary care or veterinary advice. Your veterinarian should remain your primary source for medical decisions concerning your kitten.
Spaying & Neutering
Our kittens are still young when they leave our care, and we do not spay or neuter them before they go home.
Families should discuss the appropriate timing for spaying or neutering with their own veterinarian based on the kitten's age, development, health, and individual circumstances.
