Winter Waitlist Special

Do you plan to get a Bengal kitten in spring or early summer of 2024? Join our Waitlist during the months of December and January and you will get $300 off of our Bengal kitten price.  Instead of paying $2500.  You will pay $2200. 

Why?
December and January are when Spring kittens are conceived. It is best for us to know in advance how many kittens we have homes for so we do not end up with more kittens than buyers. While we are always breeding in hopes of the next show cat or breeding cat, most of our kittens are sold as pets.  If we do not have enough homes lined up for the kittens we are not keeping, it becomes expensive to run additional advertising and to continue to feed a surplus of kittens until they are matched with their perfect home.  Kittens who go to their new homes before July are conceived by February.  We will use our Waitlist to determine how many cats should breed and who should breed based on what people want. 

Are there exclusions?
Yes. We are not including snow kittens or breeding kittens in this special.  We already have enough people on our Waitlist who are waiting on snow kittens. Therefore, anyone wanting a snow kitten may not get their kitten until the Fall of 2024. This price also does not apply to kittens that are currently for sale. 

Are there terms and conditions?
Yes.  If we offer you a kitten that fits what you are looking for regarding color, gender, and personality, and you turn it down, you lose the $300 discount. You will have to buy your kitten at the regular $2500 price.  The purpose of a Waitlist is for us to know how many kittens have homes before they are conceived.  When people turn down the kittens they are offered, our Waitlist loses its purpose. While seemingly incomprehensible, we have people join our Waitlist only to discover it is never “the right time” to bring home a kitten.  We only want people joining our list if they are serious about bringing a kitten home by July of 2024. 

Does the discount for multiple kittens still apply?
Yes. For previous customers, we will reduce the price by an additional $200, and for people who purchase two kittens at once, we will reduce the price by $200 for each kitten.  Therefore, you end up paying $2000 for your kitten. 

How does the Waitlist work?
We explain the process on our Purchasing a Bengal Kitten page. The one thing that is different is how much you pay.  You will pay $500 to go onto the Waitlist, $850 when you select your kitten, and $850 when you pick your kitten up.

Quality Bengal Kittens Waitlist

Kitten Pricing

  • Our kitten price is $2500
  • For previous customers, we take $200 off of subsequent kitten(s)
  • If you purchase two kittens at once, you get $200 off of each kitten

The $500 Waitlist fee goes towards the purchase price of a kitten. The Waitlist payment is a down payment toward the cost of your kitten. To keep the list accurate, the Waitlist payment serves as your pledge to purchase a kitten; it is not refundable. The highest number of kittens go home in the months of June and November. 

Disclaimer

  • We may hold back up to 25% of our kittens for breeding purposes. 
  • We reserve the right to provide a replacement kitten ahead of those on the Waitlist.

NOTE: If you want a brown spotted/rosetted kitten, we have some available. You do not need to join the Waitlist unless you have a specific timeframe or want a different color or personality from the kittens who are available.

What is the expected wait time? The fewer restrictions you have on what you want, the faster you will bring home a kitten. We could send you home with a kitten within a few months. This would likely be a brown spotted/rosetted male kitten, as that is what we offer most frequently. If you want a snow, the wait could be a year or longer due to the number of people waiting for snows and the inconsistency in when we get snow kittens. The estimate is harder to determine if you want a marble Bengal because we get fewer of them.

Note: Gender must be decided before joining our list because the speed at which we offer females is slower than the speed at which we offer males. Even if a note says the person is flexible on gender, they will not be offered the other gender unless all people waiting on that gender have passed. 

Six-Months Notice - Life happens. We privately maintain a list of people who, for unforeseen circumstances, are not ready to pick a kitten, but they routinely respond to our communication. These people will give us six-month notice of when they plan to be prepared for a kitten. At that time, we will put them back on the list based on their original down payment date; however, they will have a note that they are not ready for a kitten for six months past the date they go back on the list. This allows those who have recently joined the list an opportunity to be offered kittens before the newly rejoined member. As long as communication is maintained, these people retain the price they locked in when they went on our Waitlist.
Ceased Communication 
If someone does not respond to three consecutive communication attempts, we place them on a Ceased Communication list. When communication resumes, we will put these people at the bottom of our list. The kitten's price will be adjusted to the current price when they restart communication and return to the list.
