Please read the info on this page before scrolling down to the kittens & cats available.

We raise our kittens in our home. We are not a cattery who houses our cats and kittens in an out building. I start holding the kittens at a very young age right up till the time they leave... The kittens are raised in our living room, kitchen, dining room, almost every room of our house. We want to raise our kittens in an environment as close to the one they will be spending the rest of their lives in. Only with a few more playmates inour house then in your house. This helps to socialize the kittens/cats to get along with other pets in the home.

We work hard to mold our kittens to be the kitties we would want to add to our own family. Socializing and teaching them all the right things comes with time. A breeder has a 24/7 job. It's not a 9-5, we've  done many all nighters. It's pretty much a lifestyle. We do our very best to teach the kitties all the right things to become  the well adjusted, well behaved pets you want. We supply them with many cat condos which are used daily in training our kitties.

Once you take your kitty home, our work has ended and your just begins. He/she will take over your heart. But training and socializing a baby is so important. A young pet of any kind needs A LOT of attention and care. Please NOTE it is NOW up to YOU to continue them on the path we started.

If you work long hours and do NOT have the time to invest in a baby, please consider an older kitten or young adult. You'd be surprised how much easier the transition is for an older kitty to bond with you! Babies need to be fed more often, trained more on good habits, and needs a lot more attention.

We have adults and retirees on the adults page, click here to check them out.

This information is to help keep your Bengal in your family, not needing to be re-homed, or returned to the breeder. This is a life long commitment, please take it seriously.

Bengal cats are higher energy than your average cat. When they are awake, they are ready to go, they think nothing about pouncing on their playmates. Bengal cats - cats in general do better in numbers. Bengal cats love to splash in their water bowls, hang out in with you when you shower, play fetch, play, play, play.

If you are looking for a cat that is not interested in you,  then a Bengal is not for you. Do your research on these cats. They are stunning looking, but high energy too.

****Before we will display our available kittens they will get at least one wellness checkup from the vet. I want to know all checks out okay with their hearts, lungs and over all wellness. Most times our kittens will see our vets for a wellness 2 - 3 times before they leave for their new home.

All of our kittens and cats come with an age appropriate contract, they will get a few wellness check ups for the vet, be up to date on vaccines, and be FIXED before they leave for their new home.

----Kitty will NOT be able to freely roam outside.

----Kitty will NOT be de-clawed. Buyer will supply kitty with a cat condo for his/her nail scratching/sharpening enjoyment - not your furniture!

----Kitty will NOT be re-homed without talking with me first OR you will work with me to find a new home for kitty.

----Kitty will be fed the same food as kitty ate here. Life's Abundance. Click on the bag of food n kitten page to order. Once you have put a down payment on your new Bengal from Poolside order your food so it will be in your home ready for your new kitty.

----No Refunds!

----A 2 year health guarantee, should the kitty pass away from a congenital disease, the kitty will be replaced with same value of kitty you bought - once a necropsy is supplies in writing by your vet.

Cats get lonely when they are home along while we are off to work all day doing our thing. It is proven that pets live longer healthier lives when they have playmates. Also...Idol time for a Bengal is the devils workshop!

We would much rather offer a discount on the second full priced kitten/Cat for a playmate than to have a kitty be an only cat-kid.

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 incorrect!

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.

Bengal & Savannah cats and kittens are not inexpensive... Prices for Bengal cats and kittens vary. The more exotic looking the kitty the pricier it is!   We price our kitties according to their purrsonality too. We work hard on raising the best possibly social Bengal you can ask for.

A breeder spends A LOT of money on their breeder stock, testing  breeder cats and the supplies - along with special things needed for the kittens.

When kittens grow they get more exotic looking. This tends to raise the price of a kitten. So it is important to consider putting a down payment on a kitten when it is young. As the kitten matures, it tends to get better looking and therefore the price increases. Once a deposit is placed on said kitty, that price is locked in. No matter how amazing the cat turns out to be.

Things you need to do before you bring your energetic Bengal home is kitty proof your home. Get down on the floor and look around at a cats level. What do you see that can cause harm to your new friend? Now look up high, if you have breakable items on shelves high up, you may want to put them away until you are sure you Bengal won't break the items. Bengal cats love high places too! They will get into anything and everything...

Go shopping for your new Bengal.... Order Dry food (link below), bowls, litter boxes, and scoopers. Litter, toilet brush, bleach, toys, cat condo, treats.

A little tid bit on litter boxes... Go to your local Walmart and get sterlite storage containers. 18 gallon. They run between $4-$6 depending on where you live. These will be your litter boxes. Cut a large enough opening in the lid so your Bengal can get in and out. Bengal cats are long torso cats and regular litter boxes don't cut it. You should have one litter box per cat plus one. One cat 2 boxes, 2 cats 3 boxes. Buy several boxes, this way you will have a back up while you are cleaning the used ones with Bleach and toilet brush. Good litter box habits for the human is to clean out the boxes twice a day.... Bengals do NOT like smelly boxes. If we can smell it they can smell it more. This practice will help keep your Bengal in check with good bathroom habits. Place litter boxes in several different places around the house.

We now use Equine Pine Pellets for our litter, we get 40# bags from Tractor Supply. ($5.99) We also use  Yesterdays News, and Pearls crystals for birthing moms and kittens coming back grom surgery.... A large pale or find someone who had Tidy Cat litter pales....This will now become your cat diaper pail so to speak. These make great buckets to carry around to the litter boxes when scooping the waste out of the litter boxes.    

Tidy cat containers have many uses... BUT be careful, be sure if you get a large one which has a flapping lid, you remove the lid completely if you leave this container around the house. A cat could jump in and another could jump on the lid, closing the cat in tight without air. Just like thinking for babies you have to think the same for your new cat.

Cat condos are a must for your Bengal. Our Bengal kittens are raised with many cat condos. We find this will help the Bengal to respect our human furniture and enjoy theirs. The higher the better! Remember Bengal cats are exotic, from the Asian Leopard Cat which hang out in tree tops. We offer multilevel cat condos for sale.

We've changed our cat food for the kitties. We find this new food to be better than the foods we were feeding our cats and kittens. For many, many years we have been an Iams family. Then one day Iams Hairball just didn't work anymore for my cats. I found they were walking away form the food, started throwing up, and the stools had changed.  Some of the food even became moldy within hours of being in a bowl. After pitching 3 different bags from 3 different stores, I knew this wasn't working anymore. I added new breeder cats to my program and one came with a zip locked bag of Life's Abundance. Our original cats chewed a hole in the bag, opened it up and it became Din Din time.

With this food, weaning my kittens seems to be much easier, no upset tummies, solid stools, and happy kittens. So far this food seems to give me less vet visits, shinier coats, hardly any throwing up, and the shedding is less. Those of you who know me, know I am a big coupon - sale shopper. I will go around to the stores for the best price on things for my cats....I only speak from my experiences with products.  This food seems to be a hit with our cats and kittens, so we are sticking to it. And....I don't have to go to the store to get it, home delivery EVEN BETTER! With auto ship too! The food is good for both kittens and cats, that's nice! We have noticed it seems to urge them to drink more, which is better for them. Anything that makes the cats drink more helps to flush their system. I have had clients call me asking questions about diet and urinary issues... After talking with several vets about cats and UTI, they have all said one thing that sticks out.... get them to drink water more to flush out their system. The first 5 ingredients in a pets food is the most important information! I've been able to cut back on canned food feeding. Win! Win!

Click on the bag of cat food below to check out the food, if you like what you see order a bag. When compared to the Royal Canin I used before, even the Iams, this food is a better buy, the cats seem to eat more of the cheaper commercial foods. One thing I found interesting, most of the foods we buy in the stores are older....some even a year old. No matter what, if the cats aren't eating the food, no matter how cheap, it's not worth it.... If they like it, they eat it....end of story. It's up to us their care takers to give them the best we can... Just like with us, eat better feel better, less doctor visits.

All Pet kittens leave Fixed, no exceptions! At one time we did sell our kittens at a younger age with a Spay/Neuter contract. But over time we found that other vets did a chop job on spaying our girls we placed. I got tired of helping the pet owner get the girl better, for a pretty bad spay. So we found a couple of vets who will spay/neuter our kittens at a fairly young age. Kittens will not be fixed until they are 12-13 weeks, and will not leave until they are healed. All of this is included in our prices...




This information is for the first time Bengal owner want to be. Do - your - homework!

Bengal cats are a wonderful breed. They are active, exotic looking, and a lot of fun to have in your life. Bengal cats are not considered to be an inexpensive breed of cats. Are Bengal cats worth the price? You bet! Bengals are now the #1 breed of cat!

Although our prices are reasonable - we do NOT have kittens for shelter prices.
No kittens for $100 - $300. All of our pet Bengal or Savannah kitties are fixed and up to date on all vaccines. This is expensive and included in our prices. Our kitties are priced appropriately for their exotic look, loving purrsonality, and age.

It is up to you to decide if you are willing to offer a fantastic cat a lifetime of love and attention in your home.

I am not the only Bengal breeder around - as you know! Remember you get what you pay for!

Our Bengals have made many lives richer and happier. (Check out the letters page!) I feel you are investing more than money into your new pet family member. I put my heart into our cats & kittens, so you can have a Bengal cat to love you for many years to come. It's up to you to take this commitment as a serious one!


OUR Bengal kitties are loving cats and kittens. If you are a cat owner of another breed and your cat is not nice to other cats, please don't apply for one of our cats. It's not fair to the incoming kitty to go into a home where there is a bully cat. We raise our cats to be loving and friendly. Do we have the occasional cat not like this? Yes, but rarely! I will do my best to place the cat that will work best in your pet family, but be honest, if you have a troubled rough cat, or one only being best as an only cat - go to a Bengal rescue or shelter for a cat to try with your cat. Rescue and Shelter cats need homes too!

If we feel the home you are providing to one of our babies is not appropriate I will not sell you a kitty. We ONLY want the best possible homes for our cats and kittens.
