Ragdolls are trusting by nature, and that is the point to plan around: a good boarding stay is calm, quiet and consistent.
A calm cat in a quiet tower
The CFA says Ragdolls are loving without being demanding, gentle, calm and sociable, and that they adapt easily to most environments and do not need much living space. That suits a cattery tower with four levels, its own litter box and a blanket. One Ragdoll is $35 a night on the 2026 rates, and a second cat from your home sharing the tower is $30.
Size and build
The CFA calls the Ragdoll one of the larger cat breeds, with a broad chest, a long muscular body and sturdy bones. It is slow to mature, reaching full coat color at two years and full size at four, and mature males often reach or exceed 20 pounds. The semi-long coat is mostly guard hairs with little undercoat, so it feels silky. A big, relaxed cat will likely stretch out on a wide shelf of its tower.
A trusting cat and new surroundings
The CFA notes that a Ragdoll's trusting nature means it should be introduced with extra care to other cats and dogs that may not be as gentle. At a kennel, that means a cat stays in its own tower rather than meeting strangers. Bring something that smells like home.
A coat that is easy to look after
Ragdolls have a longer coat but no thick insulating undercoat. The CFA says combing once or twice a week with a steel comb removes loose hair and tangles, and that shedding is usually seasonal. A comb before drop-off is enough to send a Ragdoll in comfortable.
What a stay costs
Five nights for one Ragdoll is 5 x $35 = $175 on the 2026 rates. Day care for a cat that wants to try the place first is $25 for the day. The booking is a request through your online account, and the kennel confirms it.
Paperwork and the day of arrival
Cats need rabies and FVRCP, current through the last day, and must be 16 weeks or older. Upload the records to your account at ProPetware, sign the boarding agreement once and put in a booking request; the kennel confirms every reservation. Medications are given at no extra charge.
