Our Breed Statement and Purpose

Our breeding program is committed to producing healthy Bengal kittens with the utmost care and dedication. Our primary purpose is to prioritize the well-being and health of our cats and the kittens they produce throughout the entire breeding process. We believe that breeding and maintaining healthy Bengal cats is a responsibility and a fundamental necessity for the betterment of the breed.

To achieve this goal, we adhere to the following principles:

• Healthy Bengal Cats: We conduct health tests for our breeding cats, including regular veterinary check-ups and genetic testing of common breed-specific health conditions. By ensuring that our breeding cats are healthy and free from known hereditary issues, we aim to reduce the risk of passing on any potential health concerns to future generations.

• Selective Pairings: We carefully select mating pairs based on their individual, temperaments and their conformation to the International TICA breed standard. We keep our breeding coefficiency as low as possible and often use imported pedigree lines to maintain our high standards. Our focus is on preserving and improving the breed’s health by selecting cats with robust genetics, strong immune systems, and excellent overall health.

• Proper Nutrition and Care: We provide our breeding cats with a balanced and nutritious diet, along with regular exercise and mental stimulation. Their well-being is our priority and we provide a safe and clean environment that supports their physical and emotional health.

• Responsible Breeding Practices: We ensure our Bengals have adequate downtime between litters to recover and maintain their overall health. We also limit the number of litters we produce per year. This gives us ample time to share ourselves between our beloved Bengals and the kittens we produce.

• Collaboration with Veterinary Professionals: We work closely with experienced veterinary professionals who specialize in feline health. Their expertise and guidance help us make informed decisions regarding breeding, health management, and the overall care of our cats and the Bengal kittens we have for sale.

• Continuous Learning and Improvement: We stay informed about the latest research and developments in feline health and breeding practices. By continually educating ourselves and staying updated, we strive to implement the best possible strategies to enhance the health and well-being of our Bengal cats.

Ultimately, our breeding statement emphasizes our unwavering commitment to producing healthy Bengal cats as future family companion pets. We believe that responsible breeding practices and prioritizing the health of our cats contribute to the long-term welfare of the breed, ensuring that our kittens are not only visually stunning but also physically and mentally robust companions for their future owners.
