Being a foster for a kitten is a unique opportunity to become part of our breeding family, and at the same time have the joy of a beautiful and loving Ragdoll in your home. As a foster, you take care of the cat on a daily basis, while we as breeders are responsible for the breeding part.

What does it mean to be a forefather?

A foster agreement means that the cat lives with you as your own, but we have a joint agreement that it will be used for breeding for a limited period. For Ragdoll cats with us, this usually means a maximum of 2–3 litters before the cat is transferred to you as the full owner. It is important that the foster owner understands that the cat is not legally theirs until the agreement period is over and all conditions have been met. Only then will the cat be transferred into your name.
