About

The Ragamuffin is a large, friendly cat breed celebrated for its affectionate personality, luxurious coat, and striking appearance. Developed from Ragdoll-related bloodlines in the United States during the 1990s, the breed quickly gained popularity for its gentle nature and adaptability.


Ragamuffins have a sturdy, muscular build with broad chests, large expressive eyes, and a soft, rabbit-like coat that comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Unlike some long-haired breeds, their silky fur is relatively resistant to matting, making grooming easier than expected.


Known for their exceptionally loving temperament, Ragamuffins form strong bonds with their families and often seek out cuddles, lap time, and companionship. They are patient, gentle, and sociable, making them excellent pets for households with children, seniors, and other animals.


Despite their relaxed nature, Ragamuffins enjoy interactive play and remain playful throughout much of their lives. They are intelligent cats that adapt well to indoor living and appreciate toys, climbing structures, and family activities.


The Ragamuffin cat price in India typically ranges between ₹45,000 to ₹1,50,000 depending on breeder quality, lineage, and location. Monthly maintenance costs range from ₹4,000 to ₹12,000 including food and healthcare.
