BENGAL CATS

The Bengal is a medium to large domestic feline that originates from crossings of the small Asian Leopard Cat (ALC) to the domestic cat in an attempt to create a companion with an "exotic" look but a domestic temperament. After four to five generations of Bengal-to-Bengal breeding, the breed is recognized for championship competition by most international domestic cat associations including TICA, ACFA, GCCF, and AACE.

ABOUT ME

I am Brooke Baird a self employed mother of three wonderful children. My husband has been breeding dogs for 25 years so genetics and breeding has been a shared interest in our family for a long time. My goal is to have an award winning show cat in the future. The breeding of Bengal's has become a family hobby, including my dad who has become the "official photographer".

HISTORY

When looking for a new family pet my children and I came across the Bengal cat and fell in love. We decided that we would like to breed Bengal's as a shared experience. The results have given us a great deal of satisfaction and enjoyment. We researched to ensure that our breeding cats came from caring and responsible breeders. We continue to learn from and about these tenacious, fearless and loving cats. We treat all our kittens as part of the family. They are uncaged and hand raised, and they are ready for a new home.

All of our cats come with a full health
guarantee.

George, George, George of the Living Room

Its been a long time. Just thought I would update you on Zen's progress. Well he was neutered about 4 1/2 weeks ago and it went well. A little groggy at first but he was his mischievous self in no time. He is growing really quickly and weighed in at about 7 kg. A big boy. He is really clumsy and seems to just knock down everything in his path. More like a dog really and cute as anything. He doesn't meow much other than when he wants to sit on you. He really is a great cat and continues to play all day with our other cat. They are inseparable. I have attached a couple pictures for you to look at. Hope all is well with you and I will keep in touch.

Smooth Jazz

As promised here are some Jazz pix. She is still a kitten although I'm sure
she has grown since we first had her. Never quite met a kitten so head
strong and vocal. One time we said "no" to something she did....she just walked
away and looked back and meowed at the same time as if to say.."how dare
you"...we laughed about that again this evening in the car ! She likes her
tree very much. I think she prefers to sleep there than on our bed !

Dogs and cats, living together... mass hysteria!

Even more evidence that Zhibzhii Bengals are well socialized before they get to your house.

"Hi Brooke, we just wanted to thank you again for the beautiful kitten...we are just loving him and he seems to be really happy in his new home. He plays a lot with the puppy and loves to run around and explore. We took him to the vet for a checkup and the vet just loved him....said he is a very healthy and friendly boy. I attached a few pictures of him playing in his house with the puppy and will send another update soon. Thanks again. Take care.
Deb & Scott"

Giving respect!

I would like to thank all the breeders who have taken the time to talk to me and help me with Bengal's. Especially Tracey Semchison of Natureworks, without whom I would have given up, and Sheila Love for her knowledge, time and beautiful cats (Azana Bengal's). Their cats are beautiful and their knowledge and love of the breed is exceptional.

Heinrik, Kirby and Winston

These crazy critters ain't for sale! They are cared for by my brother and sister in law in Belmont, California. Heinrik is a bulldog-potato mix. Kirby is a burmese, and Winston is just fat. kidding! he's a british shorthair, and the doctor says he's "just fine". Personally I think Heinrik might be part hobbit.
