About the Ragamuffin

Developed from Ragdoll lines and later established as its own breed, sharing a similarly large, plush build but recognized in a much wider range of colors and patterns. Large and muscular, with a semi-long, rabbit-soft coat.

Temperament

Docile, affectionate, and people-oriented, the Ragamuffin tends to be relaxed and enjoys being held, much like the Ragdoll.

Common health issues

  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • Obesity
  • Dental disease

Grooming needs

The silky, semi-long coat resists matting but still benefits from a couple of brushings each week.
