Ragdoll cats typically cost between $1,200 and $5,000 depending on their quality and purpose. The price can be broken down as follows:

• Pet quality (altered) Ragdoll cats generally cost $1,200 to $2,800. These are purebred cats suitable as pets, often spayed or neutered.
• Show quality (altered) Ragdolls, which have perfect markings for shows but are spayed/neutered, range from $1,500 to $4,000.
• Breeder quality Ragdolls, suitable for breeding and tested free of genetic diseases, usually cost $1,800 to $3,000.
• Show/breeder quality cats, which have excellent markings and are fit to breed, are in the $2,300 to $5,000+ range.

Pricing depends on factors like color pattern rarity, breeder reputation, location, and whether the cat is intended for show or breeding. Adoption from shelters or rescues can be much less expensive, sometimes $50 to $500 for adult Ragdolls. In some cases, prices for exceptional breeders or highly prized lines can reach as high as $6,000 to $7,000.
