Can a Cat Be an Emotional Support Animal?
Yes. Emotional Support Animals are not limited to dogs. Many people choose cats because of their affectionate nature, indoor lifestyle, and companionship.
Emotional Support Cats
Our Ragdolls make terrific EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS to adults, children and the elderly. People who suffer from stress, depression, loneliness, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD or other life circumstances have shared how much comfort and companionship their Ragdoll provide. Many families consider Ragdolls the best cat breed for emotional support because of their affectionate, gentle, and people-oriented nature. Dogs are often thought of first as Emotional Support Animals, but they come with a lot more constraints and responsibilities (4 walks a day minimum whether it rains or it is scalding hot out, they cannot be left home alone for more than 6 hours etc). In comparison, Ragdolls are indoor cats, and can generally adapt well to many household schedules while still enjoying close companionship with their families. They are a lot easier to handle, do not require to be trained, and will follow you around and cuddle with you. They will undoubtedly be your best friend. Many families describe their Ragdolls as their closest companions.

Why Fluffs of Love Ragdolls Are Different
Not all Ragdolls are the same. That very sweet ragdoll temperament is genetic, but unfortunately not all ragdolls have that quality. We have worked very hard and selected the best breeders to ensure your kitten has that desired personality that you read about and look for. Our prices are a reflection of the amount of time, expense and care that go into our kittens.
