Our kittens are guaranteed for life against PRA-b (Bengal Blindness), PK-Deficiency (Hemolytic Anemia) and PKD1 (Polycystic Kidney Disease).

Our cattery has passed veterinarian inspections and received perfect scores for the CFA and TICA evaluation programs. 



What medical screenings do you use routinely for your breeding cats? All of our breeders are screened for PRA-b (Bengal Blindness), PK Deficiency (Hemolytic Anemia), PKD1 (Polycystic Kidney Disease), FIV/FeLV (Feline Immunodeficiency & Leukemia Virus) and screened yearly after 12 months of age for HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy - Heart Disease). Test results are posted public as they become available on our Queen and Stud pages. Hard copies of test results are available upon request. For more information on these diseases: CLICK HERE


What is your parasite protocol?  Parasites and bacteria are always present in all animals, it's more of a matter what their levels are and effecting symptoms. We screen regularly for Coccidia, Giardia and TF (Tritrichomonas Foetus) by fecal float or use Zoologix/IDEXX PCRs. For Coccidia, we use either Baycox or Albon at 4-6 weeks of age and then repeat 10 days later. For Giardia, Roundworms, Hookworms, Whipworms and certain Tapeworms they are treated with Panacur for 3 days at 2 weeks of age then repeated every 2 weeks till 12 - 16 weeks of age. For Tritrichomoas Foetus we use compounded Ronidazole (as needed) from a vet pharmacy. Campylobacter is a bacterial infection that is becoming more prevalent in the cat fancy, it's often combated with Erythromycin (Or Tylosin) and Baytril. We recommend monthly Revolution topical drops after going home to prevent fleas, ticks, heartworms, ear mites, and roundworms.

Will the kitten have all vaccinations and wormings appropriate for its age prior to picking up? Yes, all kittens are given their core vaccinations and dewormed prior to going home. 


Are parents on premises? All parents are on premises.


Are your breeding cats kept inside or in outdoor enclosures? All of our breeders are kept indoors either within our personal home and/or their personal indoor cattery. When the weather is good they often play outdoors within a fenced area or indoors with us.


How long have you been breeding? We began breeding Bengals in 2016 after purchasing our own property. Since 2005 we have fostered and worked with feline rescue facilities. 


Why do you breed Bengals? We breed Bengals because of their unique personalities, intelligence, and appearance. Our breeders are our pets and their charismatic behavior is an enrichment to our daily lives. 



What do you breed for? Currently, we are focused on creating a jaguar pattern with ideal Bengal structure. In 2018 we will begin to work in a well-structured paw printed male to influence all offspring and hopefully begin combining traits together. Breeding is a hobby and we evaluate and retain any kittens to pursue this passionate and committed mission.  


How frequently are your kittens handled? Where are they raised? Our kittens are handled daily in their private nursery inside our home by each member of our family. We strive for healthy, well-socialized kittens.

We use Dr. Elsey’s Precious Cat Litter withLitter Robot systems incorporated for our breeders and pine pellets in traditional litter pans for our kittens.
