Boarding a RagaMuffin cat

A RagaMuffin cat stays in its own four-level cattery tower at $35 a night on the 2026 rates. Unlike a Ragdoll, the RagaMuffin the CFA describes has a medium to medium-long coat that resists tangles and a build that matures over up to four years.

If you read our Ragdoll page first, the stay is much the same. The differences are in the coat, the history and the age at which the cat is fully grown.

How a RagaMuffin differs from a Ragdoll

The CFA says the RagaMuffin traces to breeders who left the Ragdoll registry and worked with chosen domestic longhairs, and was accepted for registration in 2003 and championship in 2011. Its coat is soft, dense and silky, often compared to a rabbit's fur. For the stay itself, the differences are the coat and the growth curve.

Size and slow growth

The CFA lists a medium to large breed with substantial bone, males up to about 20 pounds and females closer to 15, taking up to four years to reach full growth. A young RagaMuffin may look full-sized and still act like a kitten. A large adult male can take a lower tower level.

Coat: a comb, not a daily brush

The CFA says the fur resists tangles and mats, so daily care is not needed, and suggests combing once or twice a week with a long-toothed comb. Most RagaMuffins only need occasional baths. A comb before drop-off is enough.

A trusting lap cat

The CFA calls the breed docile, people loving and affectionate, trusting, and not unduly vocal, and says it gets along with dogs and other cats if introductions are managed so the cat is not dominated. At a cattery each cat has its own tower. Tell us if yours is a shy one.

What 3 nights cost

Three nights for one RagaMuffin is 3 x $35 = $105 on the 2026 rates. A second cat sharing the tower is $30 a night. Check-out is by 11:30 AM, and afternoon pick-up is half of the nightly fee.

Food, medicine and records

House food is pate plus chicken-and-rice kibble at no charge, and your own food is welcome in its original bag with amounts in cups. Medications are given at no extra charge. Rabies and FVRCP must be current through the last day.
