T-Rex is an 11-year-old registered mitted blue point Ragdoll I adopted over a year ago. Unfortunately he has been very unhappy in my small condo and desperately wants more attention and interaction than my work schedule allows. He came from a three-story townhouse where he grew up with a German Shepherd, and I believe that he really misses both the space and the companionship of a dog.
I discovered that T-Rex has Feline Herpes Virus after I adopted him. The disease is only transmittable to other cats, not dogs or humans or other animals, so he needs to be either the only cat or with other FHV+ cat(s). His eyes tear but it is not severe. He is on Z/D allergy cat food and Prednisone to help keep the disease and stomach sensitivities under control.
T-Rex craves attention and will let you brush, body/nail clip, and even bathe him without scratching. He's a big boy at over 16 pounds, which is typical of Ragdolls.
T-Rex needs to be in a home where he will have more attention and companionship. Can you provide that for him? If so, I will provide his bowls, food and water dishes, Z/D food, Predisone allergy prescription, scratching posts, brushes, cat tree, beds, blankets, window perch, toys and extra-large litter box. Small re-homing fee will be donated to the Fairfax County Animal Shelter.

Long gone are the days where cat climbing trees were made to look plain, unfinished, and boring. Nowadays, there's a cat tree for just about every personality. From chic to eclectic, not a single cat will go unpleased.
For cat trees that take the form of stacked boxes, check out the Designer Pet Products Designer Cat Tree, which comes in black or white can features six levels to it. Bowser's Replus Cool Hues Cat Tree is another great buy as well. This one has only five levels but comes in a variety of colors for a more brightening look. Catty Stacks Modular Cat Condos also feature the box look and allow for more boxes in any different color to be attached when necessary.
Now for the pet owner with quite the eclectic taste, the Modern Cat Designs Tall Modern Cat Condo would be a great purchase. This design is not boxy in the least, and in fact, it features large cylinders with padding in them. There is one on the bottom, as well as one up in the air for cats who like to survey the area from above. This cat condo is truly one of those cat tree houses unlike any other, especially because it is scratch resistant.
For cat lovers looking for cat scratch furniture that is more straightforward and less fancy, there are several types of cat trees made of wood. These models typically feature a main pole with shelves at different intervals so that your cat can decide how high up the tree he or she wants to go. Many times, these shelves will be carpeted so that your cat has something to scratch. These products may not blend in as well with your home decor, but cats will nonetheless adore them!
Because of its neutral colors, it could easily match any given room's decor without becoming an eyesore. You can also place artificial plants inside of it to give it a little something extra. The style of the Hourglass design in particular is rather curvy, allowing your cat a range of options for scratching angles.
In addition to its beautiful design, the Blow Molded Scratcher serves its function well. Unlike the cat scratching pole you will find at the local pet store, this one is incredibly stable. Once you set it upright, your cat shouldn't have any problems, but if you've got a heavier cat, you can also place a weight inside it for added stability. If you want to get your cat even more interested in this cat scratching tree of sorts, add some catnip into the mix. Your cat won't hesitate to tear into this one when a little 'nip is involved!
The levels featured in this cat tree can be used for climbing and playing, and the first one consists of a sisal material that is perfect for scratching. The second and fourth levels have carpet on them and could even be used as comfortable cat window perches to allow your cat a wonderful view. The second level doubles as a hiding place with an entrance hole in it for your furry friend. This hole is 7.5 x 8 inches so that even larger cats can fit inside it and won't feel left out.

The Fling-ama-String Toy is a motorized cat toy designed to play on your cat’s natural instincts to bat and lunge. Feather cat toys can hold a cat’s attention for a little while, but all too often they lose their appeal far too quickly. Cat Climbing Trees and Lotus Cat Trees can offer a chance to climb and scratch, but do not do anything for a cat’s desire to stalk and pounce.
Fling-ama-String Toys hook over any standard doorknobs and the motorized toy dangles, flicks, and twirls a string in a tantalizing dance that will grab any cat’s attention. Watch as your cat stalks and pounces again and again.
The simple design will keep even the laziest of cats coming back for more. This toy is a great easy to encourage exercise among lazy cats and interaction for the home that has multiple cats.
The unique twisty shape of the lounge offers multiple uses for your cat. The contours offer multiple places for your cat, depending on its size, to lounge the day away. The contours also offer places for smaller cats to curl up in for a little privacy. Scratching needs are also taken care of with the lounge’s unique surface material.
The large size of the lounge makes it ideal for a home with larger cat friends or multiple cats. The PetFusion Cat Scratcher Lounge – Deluxe is also reversible. Once the top side has been worn and scratched within an inch of its life, simply flip the entire thing over and start all over again with a fresh scratching surface.
Look around online for examples of this beautiful cat toy and you will be sure to find cats of all breeds, Tabby cats, Persians, and you will probably even find Ragdoll cat pictures, all of them enjoying this innovative ad must-have toy!
If you’re looking for a one-stop shop with regards to your Ragdoll cat then the Aristopaws Cat Boutique is definitely worth a look. Here you’ll find handcrafted cat beds and other types of cozy cat furniture, designer food and water bowls, scratching posts and trees galore, feathery toys, sisal rope toys, and more Swarovski crystals than you can ever imagine.
The boutique stocks items from a range of designers and so prices do vary quite considerably, but there is something to suit most budgets.
One of best the cat products at The Aristopaws Boutique has got to be the Puppy Angel Cherry Berry Spa Robe for cats. These cute little robes come in blue, pink and white and each has a cherry berry glittery appliqué on the back. The robes are made from absorbent cotton towelling with a contrasting gingham binding. Easy and fun to wear, there is a single button at the neck and a matching belt for extra security.
This is just one example of what Aristopaws has to offer, and if you really want to push the boat out why not visit their diamond, Swarovski and gold section.
Scratching in particular seems to be at the top of their list. The problem is getting them to scratch the right things and not your favorite chair or couch.
The Combo Cat Scratching Platform seems to be just what is in order. This system comes with two scratching surfaces one in front and one in the back. Unlike most cat climbing trees, you can also adjust it to sit at an angle or flat so that your cat can have a variety of angles from which to scratch. The frame is solid wood and comes in two finishes.
The footing is non-slip so your floors will be protected. So finally you can have the peace of mind that your cat is occupied with scratching without doing damage to your furniture. There are also replacement parts available should any component become damaged or just worn out because kitty loves it so much. This is a must have item of cat scratch furniture to keep your cat happy and healthy and your furniture in great shape throughout the years. She will love you for it and so will your couch.
If this isn’t the ultimate design in cat tree houses then who knows what is! With its three condo houses, three baskets, three ladders, two hanging ropes and an impressive 12 sisal cat scratching posts, your cat, or cats, will never get bored or fight for the same lounging spot again. It is quite a big thing but for multiple cats it means you only need one tree and not several dotted around the house.
Obviously with the price being as reasonable as it is, the condos and platforms aren’t covered with thick luxurious carpet as some more expensive cat climbing trees are, but apparently the faux fur is good quality and very warm and comfy for your kitties. The best feature though is the top pole, which is adjustable to fit most rooms and keeps your cat tree stable and firmly where you put it…even if you do have three or four excitable kitties jumping around on it.
There are hundreds of cat climbing gyms available on the internet but this one stands out as having everything needed to keep a multi-cat household happy, and it doesn’t cost the earth to buy or ship.
Cats love to be in high places so that they can look down and watch the world go buy. Also it is a great vantage point for pouncing particularly for Ragdolls. This item is not only climbing equipment it is an actual tree with a tree-house for your cat built in. This cat tree house was built with your cats every need in mind.
The Pet Tree House is for indoor use in a control environment. The tree will adapt to it's environment and change with a slight turn. There are three sizes available, The Sapling Cat Tree, The Medium Cat Tree and The Large Cat Tree which is particularly well suited for multiple cat homes. The Large CatTree is a piece of unique cat furniture, standing a whopping seven feet. There is plenty of room to explore and play.
The leaves are synthetic silk and the branches make for great scratching. There is also plenty of plush carpeting. Not only are these trees great for your pet, they are also a handsome addition to your home decor. Each unit is one of a kind crafted by artisans. Your cat will have a place to engage in her natural inclinations of climbing, playing, hunting and generally lounging around in her very own tree house.
If you’re looking for cat gyms with a difference then the Jungle Gym from Go Pet Club is worth a look. With its fake leaves, brown and black faux fur coverings, white sisal cat scratching posts, and ultra-sturdy construction it is definitely different from most cat trees out there.
The Jungle gym stands over 6ft tall so you’ll want to make sure you have room for it. Plus, it packs a lot of entertainment in for your kitties. There are numerous large platforms, two cat condos big enough for adult cats, hammocks and baskets, so even multi-cat households will be satisfied.
It is quite a hefty piece of equipment and according to reviews it is very well constructed from quality materials. So, whether you have one pampered Ragdoll or a whole family of furry feline friends it will easily be able to take the strain of a good exercise session.
As cat climbers go it does seem to be very good value for money, and especially since it is half price when bought online.
It isn’t difficult to find cat gyms to accommodate multiple cats but it is quite difficult to find large gyms that don’t require huge amounts of floor space. This 6ft tall gym is the epitome of cat climbing trees and yet it only requires an area of floor space measuring 17 by 17 inches. So, if you haven’t got room to spread out why not go up?
This particular gym has enough hidey holes for five cats, plus it has a dangling play ball and a cute mirror in the back panel for your Ragdoll kitties to look at their pretty faces. You can choose from beige, brown, blue, grey and green, and what’s more the manufacturer, New Cat Condos, is offering free shipping. Each of their cat tree houses is custom made to order though so delivery is normally 7 to 10 days.
This gym acts as a bed, a play area, a scratching post, a lookout tower and most of all a place for your cat to sit where it can’t possibly miss out of some love and attention. Plus, when you compare it to other similar style gyms it really is very reasonably priced.
***OWNER DECIDED TO KEEP***
Kitson is a one year old lilac bicolor ragdoll male. He celebrated his one-year- old birthday on November 14, 2011 (He was born on November 14, 2010). We adopted him on February 11, 2011 at three months old.
We love Kitson very much, but are choosing to have him adopted for multiple reasons. We have a newborn baby in the house and Kitson is not getting the love or attention that he deserves. I am so busy all day with our son, and my husband is at work all day. I have been back and forth about finding him a better home for months, but we recently decided that we are moving out of New York and this made up my mind for me. We are planning a move to Georgia and plan on driving there with a U-Haul and do not want Kitson to suffer in a cat cage for 18 or more hours. Also, we do not have air conditioning in our apartment, and Kitson was very hot last summer with his long hair. We would prefer if his new owner had air conditioning (we understand if that is too much to ask). Kitson has never been around any other animals besides other ragdoll cats such as his litter-mates at his breeder's home. We do not know if he would do well with dogs, or cats of another species.
Kitson is VERY loving, and we want him to go to a home with an owner who will shower him with affection. He is more like a dog than a cat when it comes to loyalty to his owner. He follows me from room to room, and even sits by the bathroom door while my husband shaves his face. He is definitely not the type of cat where you don't know where he is because he is always right by your side! Kitson will even sleep on your pillow if you allow him to. We used to sleep with him cuddled up with us, but we have a newborn baby so unfortunately Kitson sleeps on his own in the living room now. He will even clean you as if you are one of his own. Since he is still young, Kitson loves to play. He has never attacked, and has never hissed once. I don't think he knows what hissing is. He has never intentionally scratched or bit us or broken our skin. He will only nip or accidentally scratch if you are playing rough with him, but other than being playful, he has never done anything like that which is rare in a cat! He never gets angry, not even when I clip his nails or brush him, or wash him in the bath tub (I only did that twice when he was a kitten and he got a little dirty)! Also, he is very good with children. My newborn pulls his hair (by accident), and Kitson does not budge. Of course, I separate them as soon as my son does that.
Medical History: He was neutered at three months old. He has completely received the following mandatory feline vaccinations: Panleukopenia, Rhinotrachetis, and Calicivirus; all were received at 2, 8, and finally 12 weeks old. He also had Nemex 2 at 6 weeks old, and deworming at 9 and 12 weeks old. We chose not to give Kitson a rabies shot because he is strictly an indoor cat, and we do not have 
any other pets. We have his pet papers to give to his new owner.
Certificates: We have a Pedigree Certificate which lists his family tree/blood line. We also have his blue slip to prove that he is registered with The International Cat Association, Inc. We also have his contract/guarantee from his breeder: Kitson has a two year replacement guarantee against hereditary or congenital defects that affects the life of the cat.
Food and Litter: We feet Kitson Nutro Max Cat dry food, and Fancy Feast beef chunks in gravy wet food. He is very adaptable in changing to new dry food if you do not feel that it is nutritious enough for him. I know that many people prefer higher end grain-free brands and I'm sure he would enjoy it more. When it comes to wet food, he loves his chunks in gravy and will NOT touch the pate, or blended cat food. He has to have chunks. I also add a little water to his wet food to increase his water intake a bit. As for litter, he uses Tidy Cat scoopable. Kitson does not have any litter issues and is well trained.
Shedding: Kitson DOES shed. Upon adopting him, we were told by our breeder that ragdolls do not shed, but this is not true. When I have spoken to other ragdoll owners, they confirmed that ragdolls indeed do shed. I swiffer once or twice a week and use the pledge sweeper on our couch, and there have not been any other problems. It is not excessive cat hair, but I just feel I should mention it in case you are under the impression that ragdolls don't shed. He has a very big tail! His hair is beautiful and the softest fur you will ever feel! He is knot-free too :) I also have brushes that I can give you for him.
Adoption Fee: We are asking for $400 for Kitson because he is a purebred pedigree cat for which we paid $800 for. We thought this to be fair since he is just one year old and is still under his breeder's guarantee. However, it could be negotiated. I will draw up a contract for both of us once we discuss all the details and agree on all terms. Also, Kitson does not have scratching issues. The only time he ever scratched furniture was when we didn't have a scratching post for him (shame on us!) and he leaned up and kneaded the tip of our couch by where I sit. We then bought him a scratching post and put it right next to that spot on the couch, and now that is what he leans up and scratches all the time. It is against our contract with his breeder to declaw him or allow him to go outside due to his gentle and naive nature. Also, in some pictures, Kitson has a short haircut (a one time idea on our part). His long, soft fur is fully grown in again, beautiful as ever.
