Tips For Choosing The Right 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.

That notwithstanding, there are a number of ways through which one can find the right breeder in their community. To begin with, talk to friends who own breeds similar to the one you want to purchase. Do not be hesitant to ask questions that will give you an idea of what it is like to live with that particular breed. You will be surprised that most people will be too happy to discuss this with you.

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.

Most of the breeders will give you a discount if you are buying two kitties. However, both cats do not necessarily have to be Bengals. You may consider another breed that gets along well with other cats. Then ensure that you introduce them at the same time or within a few weeks of one another. Do not introduce a cat to an established territory of another.

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.

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.

While most breeders may not take back the kitties they have already sold, they will help you find another home where you can take the cat. This is very important in ensuring that you do not have a difficult time exiting the cat from your home. You may also want to find out from your potential breeder whether they will give you a health guarantee.

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.
