Wisconsin winters give a Ragdoll the best coat it will ever grow, and then take it all off again in April. Everything else about getting a kitten here is straightforward.

How a kitten gets from Sedona to Wisconsin

Choose a kitten, call us, and a $400 deposit holds it. A flight nanny carries it in the cabin from Phoenix to Milwaukee in about three and a quarter hours. Madison families usually drive the ninety minutes to meet it there rather than take a connection.

Milwaukee, Madison, or over the border

Milwaukee takes nonstop flights from Phoenix, about three and a quarter hours, and is the usual handoff for the southeast of the state. Madison has fewer nonstop options, so most Madison families drive the ninety minutes to Milwaukee rather than take a connection. The northwest corner is closer to Minneapolis than to anywhere in Wisconsin, and Green Bay and the Fox Valley sometimes find Chicago easier than Milwaukee depending on the day.

The winter arrival

A kitten flying from Arizona into Wisconsin in January is making a sixty-degree change in one morning. Cover the carrier, warm the car first, drive straight home, and set it up in one quiet room. By the second evening it will be on the sofa as if it had always lived there.

The coat, through the year

Thick from October, heaviest in February, and then two solid weeks of shedding in spring. A steel comb twice a week keeps it manageable and daily through the change keeps it off the furniture. Indoor heating is dry, so water in several rooms and wet food a few times a week.

Rural Wisconsin and the barn-cat instinct

Plenty of Wisconsin households have always had cats that come and go. A Ragdoll cannot be that cat. It has no road sense, no fear of dogs, and in January no business outside at all. Indoors, or a secure enclosure, and it will be the most affectionate animal in the house for fifteen years.

What it costs, and what is tested

$800 a kitten, every color and sex, with everything on this list. Travel is quoted for your airport and never bundled into the price. Both parents are DNA tested for HCM and PKD, the two inherited conditions the breed is known for. Every kitten leaves vaccinated and wormed for its age with the written record, seen by our vet, microchipped and registered in your name, and litter trained. Everything that travels with it.

Questions from Wisconsin families

Madison or Milwaukee?

Milwaukee, for almost everyone. The nonstop service is better and ninety minutes in the car beats a connection for the kitten. If you are in the northwest of the state, Minneapolis may be closer than either.

Do you ship Ragdoll kittens to Wisconsin?

Yes. A flight nanny carries your kitten in the cabin from Phoenix to MKE, about three and a quarter hours, and hands it to you at the airport. Or you fly to Phoenix, meet your kitten, and carry it home on your return flight.

Which airport should I meet the flight at?

Whichever is the shortest drive from your door. In Wisconsin that usually means MKE or MSN. Tell us which and the flight is booked to it.

How much is a kitten, and what holds one?

$800, every color and sex. A $400 deposit holds your kitten and comes off the $800. It transfers to another kitten if you change your mind about which one. If you cannot go ahead at all, $300 of it is refunded. Travel is quoted separately for your airport. What the price includes.

Are the parents health tested?

Both parents are DNA tested for HCM and PKD, the two inherited conditions the breed is known for. Our cats.

Can I drive to Arizona instead?

Plenty of families do. From Wisconsin it is about twenty-four hours by road, and you meet the kitten, meet us, and take it home yourself. Either way nothing is paid for a kitten you have not seen photographed that day.
