About Us

The United Kingdom RagaMuffin Cat Society was formed by a group of dedicated breeders, determined to promote and protect the RagaMuffin in the U.K. whilst preserving the health, temperament, size and original colours of the breed. The UKRMCS unifies all those who breed, own or just love the ‘authentic’ RagaMuffin cat.

UKRMCS Founders

Most of the group had already served together in a Ragdoll breed club and worked well as a team, having the same passion for breeding.  They knew  that with a lot of hard work and determination they could reach their goal.  Their hard work paid off when the application for recognition of the RagaMuffin name was approved. It was accepted by the executive committee of the GCCF complete with its capital ‘M’ and was allocated the breed number 60. In June 2010 RagaMuffins were granted preliminary recognition and at the GGCF delegate meeting in June 2015 the breed was promoted to full championship status. More recently the GCCF adopted the EMS cat breed codes.

Our logo was inspired by Ultimate Rags Nikki and the flags represent the RagaMuffin’s ‘journey’ from the USA to UK.

To protect the breed and start with good healthy foundations, all the cats imported into the UK were DNA tested for the known HCM genes and for PKD as will all future imported RagaMuffins.

There is a strict policy of not outcrossing to Ragdolls in the UK which will help ensure that the two breeds will remain as separate identities.

Our breeders are highly ethical people who are willing to stand behind their cats and their breeding practices and have signed a strict code of ethics. Only RagaMuffin breeders who agree to practice under UKRMCS’s high standards are listed on our registered breeders list. Our breeders are dedicated to breeding the finest and healthiest cats.

If you have been searching for cat organisations, RagaMuffin Associations, or cat rescue organisations; we are a unifying group for all recognised  ‘Authentic’ RagaMuffin Cat Breeders and the official group for all those who love the RagaMuffin. The UKRMCS is GCCF affiliated and the only RagaMuffin organisation in the UK.

Janet Klarmann, a founder of the RagaMuffin in the USA who sadly passed away in 2010, had this message for all in the UK…….‘ speaking for both myself and the RagaMuffin community in the USA I would like to convey our pleasure that the RagaMuffin Breed is taking root in the UK and that with the care and nurturing of the UK RagaMuffin Club, it will flourish and prosper, giving those living in the UK the joy of the RagaMuffin Breed’…..
