In 1983, the breed was officially accepted by TICA registration, originally started by Jean Mill. The bengal is a domesticated cat breed from hybrids of domestic cats (utilizing the Egyptian Mau, Abyssinian, American shorthair, etc.) with the Asian leopard cat. Bengals have a wild appearance with beautiful spotting/marbling and rosettes. Bengals from the first 3 generations are considered "early generation" Bengals. To be considered a domestic Bengal by the cat registries, a Bengal must be at least 4 generations or more away from the Asian leopard cat, which would the be considered as Stud Book Tradition (SBT).

There are several variations to a bengals color and pattern. Before picking your bengal you should do your research and find out which kitty best fits you!

VARIOUS BENGAL CAT COATS: COLOR & PATTERN

Bengals are very smart, energetic and playful. They are considered dog-like and because of this, a lot of owners have a really fun time playing fetch with their Bengals without much training necessary. They also love playing in the water. As natural tree dwellers, they really enjoy exploring high places. They are also typically a vocal breed and love to chat with their family. Bengals are generally confident and curious, so a lot of owners will take their Bengals traveling and out hiking.

We breed SBT bengals, this term stands for "Stud Book Tradition" and means they are least 4 generations away from their ancestor, the wild Asian leopard cat. Our earliest generation that we produce here is 5th generation (5G) and as late as 10th generation.

All Bengals are different and the environment Bengal kittens are socialization in at an early age plays a role. We raise and maintain a cage free environment. All of our Bengals are used to being picked up, carried around and have been well socialized so they usually do very well with young children. Bengals are great family pets!

Yes, Bengals are very social animals and they get along very well with most cats and dogs. In fact, many people that purchase one Bengal kitten decide to purchase another one at some point or add another active pet to their home because Bengals are happiest in an active household and don’t like to be left alone for long periods.

Our Bengals met our Husky & Chihuahua when they were 12 weeks old and although it was a scary experience the first day for the kittens after a couple of days our animals where chasing each other around the house for fun! In fact, our adult bengals do better with meeting new dogs than new cats! They love to bump noses with pups!

Bengal are usually the size of a typical house cat, however they can also run a little larger. Bengals are very long in the body and very muscular cats. We feed our Bengals a healthy diet with the best supplements to produce Bengals on the larger side. There is always the possibility of them being bigger or smaller.
