We are a small in home cattery located a stones throw from NASA in Houston, Texas. We are in love with our Bengals as well as our Domestic cats. Our Bengals, however, have become a passion. The cats are an amazing animal of exceptional intellect and an uncanny ability to think problems through and find solutions. They are talkitive and will do a pretty darn good job of telling you what they want. They are very athletic and are a joy to watch.
#1 Bengal in South Central -
#9 Bengal Internationally
Tested normal for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) (click for report)
I know, your thinking "all
kittens are.." and they are, but the Bengal takes intelligence and play to an entirely different level.
We are commited to breeding quality Bengals with great bloodlines, superior temperment, health and beauty. Our kittens are raised underfoot in our own living room with all our family around, including other cats. They are handled everyday to ensure great socialization and extremely friendly and loving personalities.
We do screen each potential new home to ensure our babies go to a great forever home. Each owner will recieve a great deal of information regarding their new kitten as well as having unlimited access to us and our network of breeders for information throughout the life of the cat. All kittens are health guaranteed
and have had their first vaccinations and worming.
See our cattery construction progress here. Exciting changes in our home for our cats. We try to always provide them with the best we can.
