Factors To Consider When Choosing 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.

A great way to find the right breeders is through seeking referrals from friends and neighbors. There must be people you know who own the same breed of cats that you want to buy. Ask them about the breeder that sold them their cats. If you cannot find reliable referrals, you may as well choose to visit online sites. Most breeders have informative websites that you can use.

Most people buy kitties only for the cats to start feeling lonely because they are not home most of the time. If you are such a person, you should be considering buying two kitties. They will keep each other warm in your absence. You do not want to come back home to find your cat missing because it went out trying to find company. Introducing two kitties from the same litter is much easier.

Buying two cats can easily earn you a discount. That aside, cats can be territorial. Therefore, when buying two cats, make sure that you introduce them in your home at the same time or within some weeks of each other. It is not necessary that you buy two Bengal kitties. You can look for another breed that has the right personality for your home.

Now that you are certain of the number of cats you want to buy, begin phoning some of the breeders in your community. Find out how much they are selling their cats for. When visiting these breeders, always allow yourself time to go and wash and most importantly put on different clothes. This ensures that you do not aid in cross infection of the various breeds.

While talking to your prospective breeder, you may also want to find out whether they will give you a purchase agreement. You want enough proof from the breeder that you have bought your cat from them. As if that is not enough, you should also find out if the breeder would accept the cat back in the event that someone in the home develops allergies with the cat.

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.

When meeting a potential kitten, be sure that they are healthy and alert. Play with the cat to see how they react. Confirm that the breeder has run tests for various diseases. Do not feel rushed into making a decision.
