Asking some relevant questions about their philosophy will ensure you avoid Bengal Cat breeders that do this only for financial gain, not having the interests of the cats or you in mind. Make sure you ask about:
- Health history of the parents and vaccinations. They should have their first vaccinations by the time they're adopted.
- Whether they've bred their Bengal Cats with other breeds (they should disclose this and it would make it not a purebred lien.
- Have the socialized the kitten among other kittens?

Why does it matter if I buy from a registered Bengal Cat breeder?
When you buy from a registered Bengal Cat breeder (with either their local Bengal Cat club, governing body, or TICA/CFA), that ensures that a standard of care and expertise is enforced.

List Author: Michael Steele
I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
