The Ragamuffin, also known as Ragamuffin, is a large semi-longhair cat derived from the Ragdoll breed that has evolved into a completely separate breed as a result of a split-off that formed in the mid-1990s from the original Ragdoll breeding programme in America. Like her Ragdoll relatives, the RagaMuffin is bred for her excellent temperament and is an affectionate, cuddly teddy bear cat with a completely laid-back nature that can take up to four years to fully mature. One of the first concerns was the genetic health of their stock, which was already in the fifth generation of inbreeding, and so they outcrossed with Persians, Himalayans, and domestic longhair cats, making the RagaMuffin more distinguishable from her Ragdoll ancestors. A RagaMuffin is now a distinct breed and not a cross between a Ragdoll and a British Shorthair (or similar). There is now strictly no outcrossing with Ragdolls, and the UK RagaMuffin Club, formed in 2008, is affiliated with the American RagaMuffin Associated Group and has agreed to breed in this country under the same guidelines. Ragamuffins were first recognised in the UK by the Governing Council of Cat Fancy (GCCF) in 2010.

FAQs

How much does a Ragamuffin cat cost?

The cost of a Ragamuffin cat kitten typically ranges from £600 to £1,500, depending on factors such as breeder reputation, coat colour, and lineage, with some pedigreed or rare coat variations reaching up to £2,000 or more. Adult cats usually cost less, particularly if adopting from a shelter where prices may be between £50 and £300. Ongoing monthly care expenses, including food and veterinary costs, can range from approximately £40 to £120.

How can you tell if a cat is a Ragamuffin?

Ragamuffins are large cats with a soft, densely plush, semi-long coat and a very fluffy long tail, often more voluminous than that of a Ragdoll. They have a broad, round face with expressive eyes that can be green, walnut, or blue. The breed is known for its sweet, gentle, affectionate temperament and social nature. Their coat colours and patterns are quite varied, and although similar to Ragdolls, Ragamuffins differ in eye colours and tail fluffiness.

What are the drawbacks of owning a Ragamuffin cat?

Owning a Ragamuffin involves regular grooming to prevent matting and manage shedding due to their long and dense fur, which can be time-consuming or require professional help. They may be prone to certain health issues such as kidney and heart diseases. Their large size means they generally consume more food, increasing the risk of obesity if not carefully managed. The ongoing costs of veterinary care, grooming, and special diets can be considerable, making them somewhat costly to maintain.

What breeds contribute to the Ragamuffin cat?

The Ragamuffin breed was developed by crossing Ragdoll cats with other longhaired breeds including Persian, Birman, and Burmese cats, creating a distinct breed with a large size, gentle temperament, and plush coat. Originating from breeding programmes dating back to the 1960s and established in the 1990s, Ragamuffins carry the characteristics of these breeds while featuring a unique combination of colours, coat texture, and personality.
