Well, we're looking for another cat!

My fiancé absolutely loves Ragdolls.... He did have his mind set on breeding them for a while BUT he recently changed his mind on that and now wants to rescue a Ragdoll and have it neutered/spayed if it's not already. He doesn't care about gender, age he says preferably young-ish but doesn't have to be a kitten. The only thing he said he wouldn't budge on is the colour. He wants Seal Point and nothing else(I personally prefer Flame Points ;) )...... So if anyone knows of any rescues that have Seal Point Ragdolls in the Sheffield area- Please let us know.

I'm not expecting to find one, they aren't a knock-off-the-street cat breed but we'd rather rescue than buy from a breeder....

Thanks :)

How lovely that you've decided to rescue. :)

Here's Cat Chat's list of UK pedigree rescues:

Some of the general ones may have ragdolls, and there are 6 ragdoll specific rescues listed toward the bottom of the page.

I also found this rescue while searching on the web:

Thank you :) Will take a look.

Our only issue at the moment is that we live in a one bed flat. We're hoping to only be here for the rest of this year but I know most rescues(the ones I've had experience with anyway) won't re-home to a flat even though ours is plenty big enough for 3 cats to run around in(I know my profile says 4 cats in household but two are fosters) and play, hide, etc..

Ragdolls are often kept as indoor cats aren't they? So the ragdoll rescues might be fine with that. I'd look for a cat that's has always been an indoor cat and is happy with that.
