In this video, we share the “why” behind our Bengal program, what we care about in terms of health, how we raise our kittens, and the kind of home that tends to thrive with a Bengal.

Update July 16, 2026.

We are excited to be working through a new Website system.  Most of these kittens have owners.

Liam and Little Louie are Available. 

Please submit a Kitten Application if you are interested in Liam or Little Louie.

Liam and Little Louie are ready for their new homes in August and are open for placement. Anyone is welcome to apply. You do not need to be on our Waitlist.

Thank you for your patience as we transition to our new platform. We are excited about the changes, but need some time to learn the new system. 

Bengals are intelligent, energetic, and highly interactive cats. Many challenges people experience with Bengals are not breed flaws, but preparation gaps.

Before committing to a kitten, we encourage families to learn about play routines, feeding choices, and environmental setup. Preparing in advance leads to fewer behavioral issues and a smoother transition for both kitten and household.

• How to Establish a Healthy Bengal Cat Play Routine
• What is the best cat food to feed a Bengal?
• How to Create an Enriched Environment for a Bengal Cat 

We focus on health testing, temperament, and responsible breeding practices. Our program emphasizes long-term well-being over trends or volume.

We believe it is better to say no to the wrong match than yes to a rushed placement. That philosophy has shaped our program and the relationships we build with the families who choose to work with us.

• Decades of health testing of the lineage. Not only do we do genetic testing (PK Def, PRAb), but our testing goes much further than that. We heart (HCM) test and follow our breeding cats’ health throughout their lives. Most breeders stop breeding and testing a cat at age four, providing minimal information about their health. Look at our list of cats tested to age five or older. 
• Purposefully breeding for genetic diversity. To increase genetic diversity, we outcross to a diverse leopard cat lineage and domestic cats. When you combine this with our health testing track record, our cattery can’t be beaten in the steps we take to produce healthy cats. 
• Five-year Health Guarantee. We are confident we are doing ALL we can to produce healthy cats, so we give you a five-year health guarantee.  Read our Kitten Contract. 
• Specifically selecting for personality. Have you had the chance to meet our cats at the show halls? If not, come on out to a TICA, or CFA Northern California show. If you want a cat for a specific purpose – to travel, to fit in with your other cats, to accept small children – we can produce what you are looking for as long as it fits within the typical range of a high-energy, intelligent cat. 
• Critical focus on a small, nocturnal, tree-dwelling wildcat look. Too many Bengals look like tabby cats with rosettes. You will not find that ordinary look in our cats. We keep the large eyes, large nose, horizontal flow, and intricately detailed patterns that are features that should distinguish Bengals from other tabby cats. Most cats on the internet that equal our cats’ wild faces are early-generation, photoshopped, or tightly inbred cats. We do it for real at the SBT level without the inbreeding through careful selection and purposeful breeding. 
• Over 20 years of experience. Spend twenty minutes on our website, and you will see that no other breeder can provide you with more knowledge and experience on the breed. We are here to support you throughout your cat’s life. 

Please complete a Kitten Application if you are interested in one a Bengal kittens. If you have your eye on a specific kitten, please tell us which one in the comments.  

We’ve just launched a new page featuring our available adult Bengals. Head over and take a look! Bengals often thrive best in pairs. If you’re interested in a kitten but find the cost of two kittens daunting, we have a special offer for you: adopt a kitten, and you’ll receive an adult Bengal for at a reduce price – potentially free. It’s a wonderful opportunity to give a loving home to both a kitten and an adult cat, ensuring they both have a companion.

Bengal cats brought our lives together; they will remain in our lives until we leave this earth.  

Consistent quality draws people to our cattery.  We specialize in retaining wild essence – the look of tree-dwelling small wildcats – combined with confident, intelligent, outgoing personalities resulting from selective breeding and intensive socialization from being raised underfoot in our home with our family – including dogs. Our breeding cats are tested for PK Deficiency, PRA-b, and HCM.  Heart testing since 2004 has resulted in multiple generations of cats whose hearts are disease-free. 

We show in TICA and CFA. We participate as voting members of the CFA Bengal Breed Council. Robyn was elected by Bengal breeders worldwide to represent them on the TICA Bengal Breed Committee, and Jon serves as the Health Liaison between The International Bengal Cat Society and the veterinary world. You will not find two people more dedicated to the health, welfare, and betterment of the Bengal breed.   

Please read  Purchasing a Bengal for more information about how the Waitlist works.  It also explains the payments and our one price – $2500 – method. Anytime you send us money, you receive a digital, legally binding contract to assure you we are not a scam.

While we do not ship our kittens, people fly to us to pick up their Bengal kittens.  Look around; our Bengal cats are different.  We are different.  We encourage you to look elsewhere.  We challenge you to find wilder-looking SBT Bengals and more thoughtful, experienced Bengal cat breeders in any other program – worldwide.  People who spot the difference choose us.
