A previous litter of our kittens. There is usually a bit of a wait for one of our kittens ... but well worth it!

Bengal Kittens

Colors: We specialize in silver spotted and gold spotted. On occasion, we may also have marble, and snows.

How much does a Bengal cost?

That varies from breeder to breeder, and overall quality of a particular kitten. In some cases color makes a difference. Our prices DO include spay or neuter. Brown Rosetted is $675 and up. Golden and Silver Rosetted is $850 and up. These are ‘pet’ prices. More for breeding rights.

Do you ship, how much is it and what is involved?

Yes we do! The expenses of shipping are not included in the kitten’s price. These costs are the responsibility of the buyer. A veterinary health certificate is required as well as an airline approved pet carrier. Then there’s the airfare. The actual costs varies. If you do not live in the Seattle area, you can expect to spend an extra $300-375 for shipping within US.

How is shipping done?

The cat will travel on an airplane in a pressurized and temperature controlled section of the plane. The cat is put on the plane in Seattle and you pick it up at your airport. At some airports you will go to their cargo office at others you pick up at baggage claim. No, they do not put animals on the baggage carousel ;-) An airport worker will bring the cat in. You will have to show identification and sign some papers before you can leave with the cat. Air shipping is considered quite safe. We have never lost a cat to a shipping mishap.

Are your kittens guaranteed healthy?

Absolutely! We use a written contract that covers this. No kitty leaves here without it. They are also vet checked prior to leaving here, so we know we are only sending out healthy babies. We also have the kitten spayed or neutered before they go. This gives us peace of mind that it’s done, and saves you the hassle of having to do it. This also helps, not only to prevent accidental litters, but also prevents certain types of cancers and other health problems ‘whole’ cats can get.

Do you sell cats that are not spayed or neutered?

Occasionally, we will offer an extra special kitten with breeding rights. Generally we prefer to place kittens as pampered pets. When we feel we have a kitten that is an extraordinary example of the breed, and if we do not plan to keep it for ourselves AND the RIGHT Bengal breeding home is interested, we will consider placing a
breeding cat. We do have a very strict contract with restrictions, that we insist upon using when placing a cat as a breeder.

How much does a cat cost with breeding rights?

That varies a lot from one cat to another, depending on the overall quality of the cat, the lineage behind it, etc. Ballpark prices – Brown, $1200 & up. Silver and Gold $1600-$2000. Any cat we sell with breeding rights will have no show faults or penalties, however I never make any promise or guarantee on show wins.

How much is stud service?

We do NOT do open stud service. We do have a few select breeders we work closely with, so you may see one of our males as the sire of another breeders litter from time to time when we choose to co-breed a litter, but in general we do not provide stud service.
