How can I reserve an Available kitten?So you've found the kitten who you believe will the the purrfect furriend for you, that's great! To reserve the kitten before someone else does, make sure to send us an inquiry via the Inquiry Form. Make sure to mention the specific kitten you are interested in when submitting the form. We want the best for our kitties, and therefore the inquiry is a chance for us to get to know our potential new owners besides you just making a reservation. We reserve the right to refuse placement of one of our cats with anyone, as the kittens' well being is our priority. We require a deposit of $500 to reserve a kitten ($400 if you have already deposited the initial $100 for joining the Wait List). This amount will be deducted from the total price of your future Bengal kitten you choose. All deposits are non-refundable

To join our wait list you will need to submit a request via the Inquiry Form. We require a deposit of $100 to join our Wait List.

-
Why do you ask so many questions as part of your inquiry/reservation form?We reserve the right to not place our kittens with any family for any reason we see fit - we want to make sure that it is a good fit for both our kitten AND for you, and that is why we like to get to know our potential new owners. Thanks for your understanding.
-

-
Is a Bengal the right kitten/cat for me?PLEASE do your research on this breed. They are Amazing cats, however they are definitely not for everyone. If you are just looking for a mellow lap cat that will sit in one spot all day and not give a care about where you are, then this is probably not the right breed for you. Bengals are active, energetic, intelligent cats who can form very affectionate bonds with their owners, and they need stimulation and a way to get that energy out. Toys, play time, cat wheels, space to run and play, and things to climb, as well as Water (they love water, contrary to some other cats), are all necessities for having a healthy happy Bengal. If this is the type of cat that you are looking for, then you will not be disappointed by our kittens.
-
Where can I find out more about the Bengal breed?There is a lot of good information existing already around the Bengal breed, and therefore we don't see much value in paraphrasing this information into our own words. Here are some great articles/posts for additional information: Breed Introduction - by TICA Caring for your Bengal - by Alan Brown Safe Room - by Quality Bengal Kittens
-
Are Bengal cats Hypoallergenic?No. You may find some people on the internet claiming that Bengal cats are indeed hypoallergenic however this is not a claim that we will be making. It is true that many people suffering from allergies have found the Bengal breed to cause less of a reaction/no reaction compared to other cats they've encountered. If you have allergies, we cannot guarantee that you will not have an allergic reaction from one of our kittens. We also do not offer our kittens for any trial period of sorts where you'd be able to return the kitten for a refund were you to develop allergies toward our kitten. Please make sure to consider this when making your decision.
-
Do you have a sales contract that I will need to sign?Yes, we have a sales contract that we will send to you with the kittens information pre-filled once you have decided on a kitten and sent us an inquiry for more information. You will need to fill out information pertaining to you and then scan and email the completed contract back to us - we will only sign the contract once we have a signature from you, and full payment. Our contract is non-negotiable.
-
Do you have a Health Guarantee on the kitten?Yes, we provide a Health Guarantee on all our kittens against cogenital defects only, for the first year of the kitten's life. The Guarantee is included in the Sales Contract, and is VOID if any of the terms in the Sales Contract are not fulfilled or broken. A vet check is required within the first 3 days of the kitten going home, and proof provided to us, or the Health Guranatee is VOID.
-
What do you feed your cats?Cat food is always a touchy topic as everyone has their own opinion. We feed our cats Raw. As in raw meat. One of the best decisions we've made is switching over to raw-only from wet canned food (Friskies brand for example). There are immense benefits to feeding raw to cats - PLEASE do you research on this topic. Cats are obligate carnivores, so they need to eat meat to live a good life. Feline Nutrition is a good place to start. Here is another article as well. At the end of the day, the choice of what you feed your cat is up to each pet parent, however if you are getting one of our amazing kittens, it will be important for you to wean them from their current diet to the new one.
-
What do you use for cat litter?Not fans of clay. At all. We use wood pellets, and we Highly recommend them for any one. They are available in any farm supply store. We use the Natures Bedding brand - this brand is only available on the West Coast however, so if you live elsewhere you should be able to find a similar alternative. Reasons: Scent: even the 'unscented' version of clay still has its own peculiar scent to it. The scented versions? I would have the smell of them in my nostrils for hours after cleaning the litter boxes, which brings us to the next point - dust. The pellets on the other hand have a nice nature smell to them. Dust: Even the "99.9% Dust Free" clay litters have a lot of dust - which easily gets kicked up by the cats when they are digging in the litter or covering a done deal. Pellets are pressed wood particles, so yes they produce dust as well, but no where near the amount clay does, as most of the litter is pellets. Absorbent: The pellets break down when they come in contact with moisture, and work really good to absorb that moisture. Environmentally friendly and cost effective: Let's face it - if you're getting an cat, you're making a commitment to buying litter for years and years - which adds up to a Lot of litter. The pellets are wood - and can be thrown into your yard debris bin, being friendly to the environment. The added bonus to pellets is that they are actually Cheaper than clay litter as well! Win-win in our books.
-
Are your kittens well socialized?Our kittens get loved on daily by us and our two little girls, so they are also great with children. Bengals are very active and therefore do fantastic with children, as they keep each other well entertained :) That said, as with any cat, children must also learn to be respectful toward cats, and not provoke them with actions such as pulling on their tail, ears, etc.
-
When will I be able to take my kitten home?Our kittens are all healthly, well socialized, up to date on their vaccines, and are litter-box trained by the time that they are ready to go to their new "furever" home - after they have received their 2nd vaccine booster shot at 12 weeks of age.
-
Do you deliver your kittens domestically/internationally?We are licensed by USFWS to import/export our Bengal beauties, and can ship our kittens to you, for an additional cost, with a few exceptions for countries we do not ship to. Please send an inquiry to confirm whether we can ship to your location. We also can deliver locally, for an additional cost associated to driving there. Otherwise for local pickups, we will meet in a mutually agreed upon location.
-
Can I change my cat's name when I take them home?Yes! Once you buy your kitten and take them home, you may name them however you want. You will receive a registration slip from us, which you will use to register your kitten with TICA. You kitten is also microchipped, and so you will be able to also update the information stored on the cat's chip such as cat name and owner details, in case your cat ever goes missing, and for ease of identification at the vet's.
-
Is it okay to let my cat outside?ALL of our cats and kittens are INDOOR-ONLY, and we Highly recommend you to keep your cats indoors as well, aside from when you want to travel or walk (yes you can train your cats to walk on a leash!) outside. Ultimately the decision is yours, we currently don't have a clause in our sales contract against it. Benefits of an indoor-only cat: live longer than outdoor cats better daily health fewer illnesses, infections, injuries flea-free no threat from predators avoid poisons/poisonous plants avoid theft from strangers can't get lost can't get run over by a car and many more!
-
Do you offer a trial period, where I can return the cat if it's not what I was expecting?"All sales are final, and not refundable. If you are not satisfied with your kitten, we will gladly take it back to place with a more suitable family, however kittens are sold in their prime and not everyone is looking for a cat that is already grown - for that reason we do not refund, due to the lost opportunity to have placed the kitten with a different family.
