Ragdoll cats, known for their gentle nature and striking blue eyes, come in three main color patterns: Bicolor, Colorpoint, and Mitted. Among these, the Bicolor Ragdoll typically commands the highest price. Generally, a Bicolor Ragdoll from a reputable breeder can easily fetch prices exceeding $1,500 USD. Colorpoint Ragdolls are usually priced around $700, while Mitted Ragdolls tend to be in the range of $1,000 to $1,200.
Ragdoll Cat Color Classifications and Market Prices
1. Bicolor Ragdolls
Bicolor Ragdolls are arguably the most sought-after color pattern. They appear as if they’ve playfully dipped into a cream pool, leaving adorable evidence. These cats have white legs, chest, abdomen, and an inverted "V" on their face. Their back might have very minimal white markings. The characteristic features of a Bicolor Ragdoll include beautiful and symmetrical dark markings around their eyes (sometimes described as a mask), dark ears, a dark back, and a dark tail. The rarity of the Bicolor pattern often pushes their price into the higher range, usually between $1,500 to $5,000 or even more, depending on bloodline and pedigree.
2. Colorpoint Ragdolls
The Colorpoint Ragdolls have darker colors on their face, ears, paws, and tail, much like the Siamese cat. The body is lighter in color, gradually becoming darker from the paws upwards. Although their bodies are predominantly of another color, their chest and abdomen remain white. A defining feature of the Colorpoint is their striking deep blue eyes. Colorpoint Ragdolls are generally more affordable than Bicolor Ragdolls, typically ranging from $500 to $800.
3. Mitted Ragdolls
Mitted Ragdolls give the impression of a cat that just dipped its paws into cream and got caught, resulting in their charming "white gloves", "white boots", and a white chin. There isn’t any "bicolor mitted" or "mitted bicolor" distinction; however, the Ragdoll's legs may have large spots. The defining traits of the Mitted Ragdoll include the presence of a white chin, white mitts on the front paws, and white boots on the hind paws. Mitted Ragdolls are usually priced at $1,000 and up, reflecting the precision of their white markings and overall beauty.Don’t miss out on this:Pet Breeding
