Colours & Patterns
Our kittens are raised inside our family home — never in cages or isolated enclosures. From birth, each kitten is handled daily by us and our kids, exposed to household sounds, and movement. This home-based socialisation produces Bengals that are confident, curious, and deeply bonded to humans.
Socialisation
All Bengal Best breeding cats are tested for HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), PK-Def (pyruvate kinase deficiency), and PRA-b (progressive retinal atrophy). Kittens receive full veterinary examinations, age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipping before departure.
Health Testing
Bengal Best kittens are ready for their new homes at a minimum of 14-16 weeks (approximately 4-3,5 months). By this age they are naturally detached by their Bengal mother, and they're to start an independent life. By then they are fully vaccinated, socialised, litter-trained, and prepared for travel. You can join our waiting list at waiting list.
Age & Readiness
Bengals are highly social and intelligent. While not strictly required, having two Bengals greatly enriches their quality of life — especially if owners work long hours. Bengals easily bond with other species with active lifestyle, like dogs, in our home, after the vaccination, kittens live with our Rottweiler and are completely used to his presence and even love to play with him. We can advise on compatible pairings and can even deliver two kittens simultaneously in one personal trip.
Lifestyle
Bengals are more suitable for allergy sufferers due to their short, pelt-like coat that sheds minimally, and minimal diffusion of the allergen Fel d 1. However, no cat is 100% hypoallergenic. If you have allergies, we recommend a test visit or consultation before purchase.
Allergies
Phasing is a temporary camouflage period unique to Bengal kittens, where their vivid spots or marble pattern appears dull or "fuzzy", and their coats are covered by tiny white fur. This is a natural instinct inherited from wild ancestors to protect young cubs from predators. The full adult pattern emerges by 4–6 months of age. Meanwhile, the complete developpment concludes at around 2 years.
Breed Specific
Bengals have a digestive tract approximately 30% shorter than most domestic cats, making diet critically important. It is crucial to feed them according their needs, that are very similar, if not identical to those of their wild ancestors. Their diet should contain high-protein products of animal origin, grain-free wet food or a raw/BARF diet. However we highly recommend a meet based diet that closely mirrors what wild felines eat in nature, as long as usually we are not able to incorporate every element required (contained in organs, the heart, the liver, kidneys etc.) we recommend the use of the right supplement according to the diet.. We provide personalised nutrition guidance with every kitten placement.
Nutrition
Yes — Bengals are famously fascinated by water, often pawing at water bowls, joining their owners in the shower, or playing with running taps. This trait is directly linked to their wild Asian Leopard Cat ancestry and is one of the breed's most charming and distinctive characteristics. However, just as with humans, each Bengal is different, - some love water annd some don't, according to their personality.

After-Sales
Bengals are a hybrid breed developed from crossing domestic cats with the Asian Leopard Cat. They combine a uniquely wild appearance — glittered spotted coats, athletic muscular build — with a highly intelligent, playful, and interactive personality unlike any other domestic breed. They are vocal, curious, and deeply engaged with their human family. They have a certain similarity with dogs, in their behaviour.
