Bengals and Savannahs are lliving works of art in perpetual motion. Both the Bengal and Savannah breeds are VERY energetic, curious, vocal, and can be very demanding of your attention. They are not content to sit and watch life pass them by. They want to be involved in everything you do. They are very intelligent and extremely tenacious. When they want something, they will find a way to get it. They will, on occasion, find great delight in 'decorating' your house with shredded rolls of toilet paper and paper towels. If a fly or insect is in your home you can rest assured a Bengal or Savannh will spend HOURS hunting it down by any means necessary. Along with this little feats of 'mischief' you will also find them to be extremely loyal and will quickly become your very best friend. They will be waiting to greet you at the door when you come home, will keep you company while going about your daily chores, and will curl up next to you when it's time for bed. These are just a few of the traits that make these cats unique.
The HIGH QUALITY kittens we offer for sale are lovingly raised as part of our family. This means, of course, that we want to place them in a home worthy of them. The people I'm looking for as care-takers of my kittens will not be thinking of them as " just a pet" but as valued companions and family members. Sometimes in the excitement of seeking a new furry companion, we forget that we are dealing with lliving creatures. Are you prepared to care for all of the cat's financial and emotional needs throughout its life? Bengals and Savannahs live 15 to 20 years and this is a serious commitment.

All of our kittens are raised in a warm, nurturing home environment to make sure they are properly socialized. We let our kittens go to their new homes when they are independently eating solid foods and fully litter box trained( approx. 9 weeks of age if picked up in person, 12 weeks of age if shipped). They will have received age appropriate immunizations, deworming, and started on 'Revolution' heartworm/parasite preventative. All pet kittens will be sold under a spay/neuter agreement.
Kittens will be sent to their new homes with a care package containing samples of currently used food, litter, vitamins, toy,a nice vinyl folder with a kitten care booklet, health records, pedigree. TICA registration documents will be sent upon proof of spay/neuter..
We know everyone loves seeing ‘baby pictures’ but not many people realize how time consuming it is to properly care for and socialize the kittens. Not only that, it is VERY difficult to get good photos of kittens that move at the speed of light. Initial photos are posted at approx. 3 weeks of age. We then try to take new pictures every 10 days or so, however, there may be occasions where there simply isn't enough time in the day for photo sessions. Please accept our apologies if we aren't able to send updated photos as frequently as you‘d like.
ALL KITTENS ARE SOLD WITH ACONTRACT AND HEALTH GUARANTEE .
Please add 3% fee if using paypal.
PRICES
THE DISTINCTION MADE BETWEEN THE QUALITY OF A KITTEN IS IN APPEARANCE ONLY AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH OR TEMPERAMENT.
Whether you're seeking a beloved pet or show cat, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Raising Bengals and Savannahs is a very expensive and time consuming hobby and we simply do not have 'bargain' kittens available but we don't overrate or overprice, either. We evaluate and price our kittens fairly.
Our pet quality kittens have beautiful colors and markings but fall short in some small way of the breed standard. They may posess a minor flaw ( tail may be too long or too thin, they may have a rib stripe or two, or the ears may be the wrong size) that you, the pet buyer, may not even notice. These kittens make gorgeous pets with terrific personalities and are reasonably priced at $500 - $800. Kittens that meet or exceed the breed standard, have the best markings, brightest colors, and best structure, are our breeder/show quality kittens. These kittens purchased as special pets are priced at $800 - $1200. Pet kittens are sold with the agreement that they will be altered no later than 6 months of age.
We believe only the very best examples of the breed should be used in breeding programs, therefore, we will only sell show quality kittens as breeders and our Breeder prices start at $1800.
PRICING AND INFORMATION ON EARLY GENERATION (F1 - F3) KITTENS/CATS
Early generation kittens are very unique (F1-F3). They are the best of both worlds...wild and mild. They retain many of their wild ancestor's traits and the closer they are to their wild counterpart, the stronger the instinctive behaviors and the less likely that they can be modified to fit the owner's expectations. The Foundation Cats are very intense felines that can make a fascinating addition to the appropriate home, however, these very same idiosyncrasies can also make life very uncomfortable for both owner and cat if the household is unprepared to accept them. A true Foundation Cat enthusiast does not expect the cat to change to fit the owner's lifestyle, but rather is willing to change their lifestyle to accept the behavior of the cat. In general, while later generation cats adapt readily to new situations, new people and new places, Foundation cats find it more difficult to do so and are much more easily stressed by those changes. We spend countless hours handling and socializing our early generation kittens. They are bottle fed, will follow us around the house, sleep in our beds, give head butts, climb our legs, sit on our shoulders and our laps. They love attention and love to be petted but they rarely enjoy being 'held' or restrained. We want to know that you are committed and prepared for the lifelong responsibility of owning one of these exquisite felines and that you are not making an "impulse buy", therefore, we require several extended conversations and a 25% deposit before we will reserve a foundation kitten.
Pet prices for early generation (F1 - F3) Bengal and Savannah kittens start at $1200. Breeder prices start at $2000. The avg. pet price for a 50% F1 Bengal kitten is $2000. The avg. pet price for a 25% F2 Savannah is $3000. Our rare 75% F1 Bengal kittens start at $5000.
We are not breeding for F1 Savannahs at this time.
We prefer kittens to be picked up in person so you can see the clean, healthy, and nurturing environment where they have been raised. We know sometimes this isn't possible so shipping can be arranged for approx. $235 - $275 (cost of crate $25, health certificate $50, flight $160 - $200 depending upon the weight of the kitten). We use Continental Airlines PetSafe program out of Shreveport, Louisiana. If we have to ship from DFW International, the cost is approx. $120 higher to cover our fuel/expenses for the 8 to 9 hour round trip.

Even though I do not believe in the practice of declawing, I would rather educate you than prohibit this procedure. Please visit the link below before you decide declawing is right for your cat.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
It will take a little time for your kitten to adjust to his new home. Remember, everything the kitten has grown accustomed to has changed.
Before you bring your new kitten home, you should set up a small, quiet room with a litter box, food and water bowls, and a bed. Kittens/cats should remain isolated for a minimum of two weeks to allow for adjustment to its new home. Each cat/kitten will differ in the time it needs to bond with its new family and new surroundings. Your cat/kitten needs to feel safe and secure to develop it's unique personality.
You will need the same type of food the kitten is used to eating so you won't upset its stomach by changing diet suddenly. Please adhere to the recommended feeding instructions of the cat/kitten for a period of no less than 30 days. Our kittens eat Royal Canin Baby Cat. We will send the kitten home with a small bag of food but be sure you have extra on hand. I also suggest using bottled water until kitten is adusted.
It is important to use the same litter cat/kitten is accustomed to with having one litter box per cat/kitten. Cat/kitten is currently using Pine Pellet Cat Litter.
If you have other cats or pets , you need to plan for a slow introduction. PLEASE keep your new kitten away from all of your other pets for at least two weeks. This gives the kitten a chance to feel safe. It also allows your other pets to get accustomed to the smell of the new kitten. Be sure to supervise the introductions and be prepared to put the kitten back into it's room if things get too rough. Do not leave your new kitten alone with other pets until you are absolutely sure that they will get along.
We will do our best to educate you about the physical characteristics, traits, and temperament specific to your breed of cat/kitten. It is important to continue socialization of the kitten and provide a safe, exploratory environment.
MAINTAINING HEALTH
Your kitten's future health will be directly influenced by the quality of his/her care. You should have a licensed veterinarian lined up for your kittens health care needs.
Vaccinations are essential for keeping your kitten healthy. Before leaving our home, your kitten has been vaccinated to prevent feline Panleukopenia, Rhinotrachetis, and Calicivirus. A booster at the age of 1 year should be provided. Rabies vaccinations should be given according to your state's legal requirements.
We will send your kitten home with a small bag of the food he/she is accustomed to but if you should decide to change your kitten's diet, make the changes gradually. Kitten's should be allowed unlimited access to dry kibble during the first year of it's life. Allow plenty of freshwater at all times.
A well-groomed kitten is a healthy kitten. Grooming not only keeps your kitten looking it's best but it also makes you aware of any changes in skin, coat, ears, etc. Bathing is not generally necessary but most Bengals and Savannahs will enjoy playtime in the water. Occasionally you will need to clean your kitten's ears using a warm, damp cloth or a baby wipe and a q-tip. Nails need to be trimmed approximately every 3-4 weeks. You can use regular nail clippers to snip the sharp tips being careful not to cut too close.
Adding a new kitten or cat to your home can be a very rewarding experience if you plan ahead for the new member of your family. IF YOU FOLLOW THESE FEW SIMPLE RULES, YOU WILL FIND BRINGING A NEW KITTEN INTO YOUR HOME WILL GO EASILY AND SAFELY.
We use and recommend the following products for our kittens....
