Request Family Matching Access

Two calm Ragdoll kittens symbolizing the thoughtful, personality-first family matching process at Shades of Sapphire Ragdolls.

An optional next step for approved families who wish to stay connected as our program develops.

The Family Matching Program is designed for families who have already submitted an adoption application and would like to stay informed, connected, and prepared while waiting for the right kitten match.

Participation is completely optional and does not guarantee a specific kitten or placement timeline.

Who This Is For

✔ Families who have already submitted an adoption application
✔ Families comfortable with a calm, personality-first placement process
✔ Families who value transparency, education, and thoughtful planning

Participation is by invitation once an adoption application has been reviewed.

What Family Matching Access Provides

Early insight into planned pairings and upcoming litters

  • Ongoing communication and thoughtful updates

  • Time to share preferences and lifestyle details

  • Guidance and education before matching begins

This early connection allows families to feel confident and prepared — without pressure or obligation.

What This Is Not

This does not reserve a specific kitten

  • This does not guarantee placement order

  • This does not replace the adoption application

All placements remain personality-based and guided by what is best for both the kitten and the family.

Program Fee

$50 Family Matching Access Fee

  • Applied toward the total adoption fee if a kitten is placed

  • Non-refundable once access is granted

  • Helps limit participation to ensure personalized communication

If no suitable match becomes available within 12 months, families may request a refund, provided no kitten has been formally offered or placed on hold.

When you’re ready to proceed, you may request access below.
Submitting payment confirms your interest and allows us to continue the matching process thoughtfully.
