How To Choose Bengal Kittens

By Rebecca Allen


You have been dreaming of owning a cat that will be putting a smile on your face each time you look at it. Being your first time to own a cat, Bengal kittens would be the ideal breed to start with. With that in mind, you may also want to make sure that you find a good breeder to choose your kitten from. Trying to find the right breeder can prove to be an overwhelming task.

Begin by getting names of the prospective breeders in your area. There are people who already own these cats in your community. Take time to talk to them so you can have a better idea of what it feels like to own this breed. Then ask about the breeder who sold the cat to them. In the event that you are unable to get solid referrals from people you know, consider checking online.

Before visiting a breeder however, you need to determine whether you will buy one or more cats from the litter. If you will be leaving this cat alone for most of the day, it is best that you consider buying two kittens so they can keep each other company when you are away from home. It is also easier to introduce two kittens in the home, especially if they are from the same litter.

Do not feel obliged to buy two Bengals just because your breeder has promised you a great discount. You may want to look for another breed that will complement the personality of the latter. You must however make sure that you introduce these cats in your home at the same time. You do not want one to establish its territory before you introduce its partner.

After determining the number of kitties to buy, it is best that you start telephoning a few breeders to have an idea of their prices. The make arrangements to go and visit the various breeders so you can see their litters. It is recommended that you allow time between the visits so you can wash and have a change of clothes to avoid cross infections.

There are other factors that you have to consider when buying a cat. First off, ask your prospective breeder whether they will give you a purchase agreement upon buying the cat. Secondly, complications could arise with when you introduce the cat in your home. If someone develops allergies with the cat, it is important that the breeder be in a position to take back the kitty.

The truth is that the preponderance of breeders rarely accepts back the kitties they have sold. However, they may help you in finding another great home where you can take the cat in the event that you find problems keeping it in your home. That aside, be sure to find out whether the person will give you a health guarantee for the cats you purchase.

You cannot determine the condition of a kitten by looking at the photo. Visit the breeder to ascertain that their litter is in fact healthy. Ask to see documents verifying the medical tests that have been run on the kittens.
