MSPCA has purbred ragdolls available for adoption soon

The cats were voluntarily given up by the breeder who got in over her head with running a cattery.

45 Purebred Ragdoll Cats up for Adoption after Breeder Surrenders them to the MSPCA-Angell

www.mspca.org

14 males and 31 females. All are in relatively good health and will be spayed and neutered before adoption.

I'm very tempted Two cats with various medical issues is enough though

I'm no where near MA, but I'd be tempted too.
At least go look (I'm not helping, am I.)

It's good the breeder relinquished the cats before things got out of hand, and the cats are in relatively good health. I'm glad they recognized this reality and got the cats somewhere that they will be in a situation where they can find homes.

The last time I went to go "look" I wound up taking a mouse home. It was free adoption day

I'm sure the cats will find homes relatively quickly. With the media coverage, you know people will be bombarding the shelter with emails and phone calls asking about the ragdolls and visiting in person The other non-purebred cats and animals at the shelter just get ignored because they don't get the same media attention.

Maybe they'll be like we are. Show up to adopt one, leave with 3

Aw sweet babies! I would love one or two. They probably will get scooped up fast.

The other non-purebred cats and animals at the shelter just get ignored because they don't get the same media attention.

While I am happy that these cats have more chances of getting homes, this is also equally sad for the other non-purebred cats. Also here, when I post about my street cats that I am looking for homes nobody cares. But wait if somebody posts about a persian or maine coon then so many people would be willing to adopt.

IMO a lot of people just want a unique cat breed, something that few people have so they can post about it on FB / social media and brag Some are just complete newbies and have no clue or even care about the care requirements of a particular breed. Bengals and Savannahs are increasingly popular but both breeds have tons of of energy and needs and wouldn't do well in, say, a small city apartment.

I hope the shelter vets out the serious adopters from those who just want something to post about on social media.

Many people think cats are like dogs, where you have to find the breed that's right for your lifestyle and then find a dog who is at least partly that breed. So when they go looking for a cat, they do some breed research and decide they need that breed. They don't realize that cats are cats. So that's part of it.
