Acaramia Ragdolls of WV is licensed with the State of WV. All catteries and kennels are required to be registered and charge sales tax. It is WV STATE LAW. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Our Ragdoll kittens are ready to go by 12 to 14 weeks of age, give or take a few days. ALL kittens placed for adoption as pets will be neutered/spayed by our veterinarian. This is not negotiable. Your kitten will receive a health record showing the vaccine and de-worming schedule for its litter. All kittens are placed with a written health agreement against congenital disease and are honored for one year from the date of pickup.

Acaramia Ragdolls of WV Kitten Questionnaire
After we have chatted by phone the next step is to reserve by deposit as explained in the next paragraph.
Reserving & Priority Waiting List Fees
If we have no current kittens available, you can request to be added to the wait list. Wait time can be 3 to 6 months or more if you have requested a specific color/pattern and gender.
Priority Wait list fee is $50.00. This fee is FULLY REFUNDABLE, no questions asked. This guarantees your spot on the waiting list and assures me you intend to stay there unless you request a refund. The wait list is NOT bottomless, we only take a reasonable number of families for the kittens we think we may have in a given time period. After kittens are born and are about six weeks old we will begin to match them to waiting families.
Once a kitten is chosen, a non-refundable reservation fee of $300 dollars will hold the kitten of your choice until he/she is ready to leave our home. Wait list fees and deposits are accepted via personal check, money order or, Venmo, Zelle, Paypal (added fees to be included). Priority will be given in the order the fees are received.
You will be given the information on the correct email to use for Paypal or my address to send a check when we chat. DO NOT SEND ANY FUNDS TO VENMO, ZELLE or PAYPAL WITHOUT HAVING SPOKEN TO ME PERSONALLY FIRST. THE ACARAMIA EMAIL ADDRESS IS NOT THE PROPER PAYPAL ADDRESS FOR PAYPAL.
Kitten fees:
Kitten fees are by request to those who have filled out our Jotform Questionnaire. There is a military discount as well as a discount to our families who have adopted with us the past. Included is your kitten’s spay or neuter, vet check, vaccinations, TICA registration and our health agreement. Each kitten is also sent home with a sample of the foods we use, health/vaccination record and a few little gifts from us.
We do occasionally place kittens with established breeders. You must be a registered cattery with TICA and/or CFA and practice early spay/neuter. Breeder Fees range is $3000 and up with a minimum of $500 reservation fee.
Shipping/Delivery
As each family’s needs are different and our schedules change often, it’s best if we discuss this on a per needs basis. We do commonly help with delivery, for example, meeting near the interstate or at our local airport in Bridgeport, WV (CKB). We are near Morgantown, WV, so it’s easy for us to meet via I-79, I-68, Rt. 50, etc. Due to Covid and the various, continually circulating virus issues at present, we are meeting most families in the Bridgeport or Morgantown, WV areas.
We do have a good courier service for intrastate deliveries east of the Mississippi. Expect to add $400 to $600 and up for the couriers services.
Contract
A contract will be provided for each family detailing our policies. The contract is intended to protect the seller, buyer, and most importantly the kitten(s). You are welcome to request a sample copy to preview prior to committing.
Visits
We are a closed cattery. This means that the health and welfare of the cats and kittens as well as of the humans who live here are our top priority. Kittens are chosen using photos and videos and we will do everything we can to make sure you are happy with your new Ragdoll.
