The  Bengal cat is a wonderful breed combining a bit of the wild from the Asian Leopard Cat and the domestic house cat. The Bengal cat is a beautiful exotic creature with a domestic house cat temperament and with a downy soft coat. (Some have called Bengal cats the allergy free cat...see our letters  or kitten page for more info)


All of our (F5 and later) Bengal cats and kittens are socialized with family, friends, our cats and visiting dog. 

Bengal cats are as much fun as a dog... They come when you call them. Some Bengal cats can be trained to wear a harness and walk on a leash. They'll play fetch with you -- our pet Bengal Lil will play fetch 24 - 7 if we let her. The breed is so smart... Keep up with training your new Bengal and you will be amazed at their smarts. Some of our clients have taught their Bengals to use the toilets.

We treat our Bengal cats like the family pets they are. Yes we spoil them rotten! Yes we talk to them and they talk back.  These cats greet us at the door...chattering telling us all about their day. Most of our Bengal kitties know what "Din Din Time" is and "Who wants treats?", "get the ball".

Our Bengal breeder cats are all SBT (Stud Book Tradition) meaning they are at least 4 generations removed from their ancestors, the Asian Leopard Cat. All of our breeder cats are TICA registered. Our Bengal catas and kittens are as pure as can be. Wild looking, domestic and loving at heart!


If you are looking for a stunning, loving, and incredibly soft kitty, then our Bengal kitties are for you. Keep in mind...once you go Bengal, you won't go back!



This breed of domestic cat is

so smart...
They love water...
They are the
best companions you could ask for.








This breed is so addicting, you will want a couple, if not a few. See our kitten page for available kittens, or check out our adult page to see if we have something you are  looking for. Do stop by our letters page and see what others have to say about the Bengal kitties they have added to their family. On the letter page you will find stories from some of our Bengal parents. Most of our pet families have more than one of our Bengal kitties in their family.



Bengal cats get along with dogs too! Below you see Mickey (Bengal) with Holly, and Nikki with Bindi (Bengal).

There is a lot to learn about HCM...

What I have learned it is not just pedigree cats who come down with HCM. HCM heart disease can strike any cat. I have a client who had a beautiful blue cat named "Gus" who came from the shelter. He passed away at a early age from HCM. We started having our breeder cats HCM screened in 2009. I may not be able to screen as often as I would like, but I do feel screening is important.

Each breeder has his/her way of doing things, and their own comfort zone. Not saying any way is right or wrong, just different... My comfort zone is screening our breeder cats when I can afford to do so. Let it be said, it is costly, and time consuming... Thinking breeders make money hand over fist is so incorrect for some anyway!

Some breeders say they have not had any issues with HCM so feel no need to scan, others say they need more information on it being a genetic issue before they have this added expense.... I'm not really sure the signs of HCM, it is pretty silent...except for maybe heart murmurs in kittens or a breeder cat that died - then a necropsy explains what the cause of death was.

Here are some links with more information on HCM.

Being a breeder, anything can come up with our kittens. The odds are higher because of the amount of kittens born each year. BUT I feel it is how we as breeders react, and ethicly take care of any issues that come across our path. I feel doing the right thing is far better than making a sale on the next kitty. We give a 2 year health guarantee (from contract date) on all of our kittens and cats...even the retirees. Again this is my comfort zone. I feel by offering this to my buyers, I will be contacted should one of our cats pass away and be provided a necropsy which my vet can go over and talk with the vet who preformed it. If I am not made aware of a kitten where something has gone wrong then how can I continue to work on producing healthy kittens. Things happen, but we have to work as a team - you as the owner of a kitty - you need to do your part,  and I need to do mine.




"JJ" is one of our home grown boys. He has been with us for years. He's given us many nice kittens.

Rockie has turned out to be an amazing looking boy. I new from the moment I saw his photo I had to have him.. I was hooked! He has changed so much from those first photos... I love his warm reddish background color with his dark black outlined rosettes. Thanks a bunch to Terra Sinclair of PocketLeopards for allowing this great kitty to live here. He will be a wonderful asset to my program. Moving us forward to the great outlined rosettes we want to achieve.

I took "Rocky" to his first Adult show, and what a job he did...2 days, 5 finals. You Rock!
