Ragdoll Cat Air Travel Guide

Ragdolls are large, placid cats and one of the most temperamentally suited breeds for international travel. They are not brachycephalic, not banned anywhere, and their famously relaxed disposition means they are less prone to severe stress during transit than more anxious breeds.

The size consideration is the same as for Maine Coons: large adult males can reach 8 kg or more, pushing them over in-cabin weight limits. Smaller females and younger cats may qualify for cabin travel. Weigh carefully.

Standard cat import documentation applies worldwide: microchip, rabies vaccination, government health certificate. Australia and Japan add titre tests and quarantine.
