❤️ About Our Kittens & Program
Are your kittens raised in your home?
Yes — every kitten is raised right in the heart of our home, surrounded by love, our dog and grandchildren, and everyday life. This helps them grow into confident, affectionate companions.
Are your breeding cats health tested?
Absolutely. All of our queens and studs are screened for HCM, PRA‑B, and PKDef, and we proudly maintain N/N results for all genetic conditions we test for.
What age do kittens go home?
Kittens go home at 12–14 weeks, depending on their development and readiness. We never rush this stage — those extra weeks help them become well‑adjusted, social, and emotionally secure.
🐆 Adoption Process
How do I reserve a kitten?
Start by submitting a Kitten Application. Once approved, you can join our waitlist with a reservation fee that goes toward your kitten’s final price.
How does the waitlist work?
Families choose their kittens in the order of the waitlist. When a litter arrives, we contact families in sequence with photos, updates, and personality notes.
Do you offer breeding rights?
Breeding rights are available on a very limited basis and only to approved registered programs that share our values of health, ethics, and responsible breeding.
🌿 Kitten Care & Preparation
What supplies do I need before bringing my kitten home?
We’ve created a gentle New Kitten Supply Checklist to help you prepare with confidence — from litter and food to cozy beds and toys.
What food will my kitten be eating?
Your kitten will go home with the food they’re currently eating. If you choose to transition to a new brand, we’ll guide you through a slow, gentle process.
Are Bengals hypoallergenic?
No cat is fully hypoallergenic, but many families with mild to moderate allergies do well with Bengals. They tend to shed less and may produce fewer allergens. We’re happy to help you explore this gently.
