A warning to potential new owners

Please do not buy from "backyard breeders" who sell very cheap kittens with no papers. At best these kittens are probably being bred from cats on the non active register and should never be bred from. At worst, the kitten you’re buying may not be 100% Bengal. You cannot buy a pedigree cat without paperwork; the papers act as certification proving your kitten’s pure pedigree heritage.

In most cases they may have been kept in poor conditions, fed poor quality food, neither wormed or vaccinated, and probably never even seen a vet.

Most unscrupulous “backyard breeders” will allow the kittens to leave at only 6-8 weeks old. A kitten this young is too vulnerable to be leaving their mother and litter mates and will not have been vaccinated, putting their very lives at risk.

Make sure your cats have full papers, are registered, vaccinated, wormed and guaranteed.

They are fed on the very best, kittens start off on Hill’s Science Plan Kitten Food. Also Felix as good as it looks and the occasional treat of tuna and raw meat.

Our cats/kittens are vaccinated , wormed, treated for fleas, vet checked and come guaranteed.

We cut no costs on quality of breeding stock, food , health care and environment.

Why does a pedigree cat cost so much?

To care for a kitten for the first 12 weeks of it's life can be quite expensive. For each kitten you need to take into account;

  • Essential balanced vet approved diet - £60
  • Virus Screening for parents prior to breeding - £30
  • Kitten milk (to aid weaning) - £15
  • Cat litter - £35
  • Vaccinations and vet health checks - £100
  • Regular worming and flea treatment - £15
  • Registration - £15
  • Electrical costs to run heated bed for 3 months - £40
  • Hygiene supplies (Sanatizing gel, gloves, cage cleaning disinfectant, etc) - £25
  • Kittens packs (paperwork, food samples, photos, etc) - £20
So, before you even pay for your kitten, the breeder has paid £345! This isn't even including the stud fees (avaerage £400) to impregnante the queen and any travel costs incurred travelling to and from the vets.

Breeding pedigree cats takes a lot of time and patience; to ensure the best possible job is done, we interact and socialise with the kittens as regularly as possible, and we believe that this is priceless.

Breeding is not a way to make a "quick buck"; this is what real breeders do to ensure that the kitten's best interests and health are properly taken into account.
