Bengal Kittens

Fractal kittens are raised with love and lavished with attention so that they are well prepared to join your family.

Kittens are typically ready to leave their mother and their siblings around 13 weeks of age, after their spay or neuter surgery. Pet kittens are priced individually, typically ranging from $2200-$2500, which includes their vet check, spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, anti-parasite treatments, microchip, and health guarantee. 

All of our breeding cats (the parents of your kittens) are screened regularly for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by ACVIM Board Certified Veterinary Cardiologists, according to their recommendations, typically every 12-24 months. We test for certain genetic diseases using one of several sources of feline genetic testing.

Please complete an Inquiry/Application to be placed on our waiting list where you will get first pick of kittens from new litters. Check our Available pages for current available kittens and cats. Most of our kittens are placed before listing on the web site, and so this is the best way for you to get your first choice of color, pattern, and personality.

Retired Breeders & Youngsters

From time to time we retire our breeding cats to make room for the next generation and to allow our breeders to enjoy the majority of their lives as pampered pets.  Although all of our cats are incredibly spoiled, the retired breeding cats really blossom in a home with fewer cats.  Retired breeding cats are typically young adults (2-6 years old) and will be spayed or neutered prior to placement.

Breeding cats must meet strict criteria in terms of meeting the Bengal standard and health criteria. Often we keep back kittens we intend to show and use in our breeding program, only to find they do not develop as we had hoped, do not have the temperament for living as a breeding cat in a multi-cat household, or do not meet our highest standards for health. The kittens or cats, collectively, “youngsters,” are then placed into a great pet home at prices discounted from the full kitten price. They typically range in age from 9-18 months and are still essentially kittens, just a bit bigger than a 3-month old.

A great choice for your family, retired Breeders and youngsters are available after their spay or neuter, with fees ranging from $200-1500, depending on age.

Purchasing a Fractal Bengal

  1. Upon completion of a questionnaire, you will be contacted with any follow-up questions we have as well as to ask your own questions.  Upon mutual agreement, if there is no cat or kitten you are currently interested in, you can be placed on a no-obligation waiting list for upcoming available litters and cats. If you are applying for a currently available Bengal, then the contract process will be initiated.
  2. For kittens, a contract will be executed and deposits of $400 per kitten will be collected to hold your kitten or your place in line in choosing your kitten. For youngsters or retired cats, a contract will be executed and a deposit may be collected. We do not accept deposits for waiting list or on litters we are expecting. However, you can get on the waiting list.
  3. Bengals will be picked up by their new owners either from the breeder’s house or a mutually agreed upon location. Sometimes we meet people at shows, for example, to decrease your traveling distance.  We do not ship Bengals in air cargo; however, we will consider a flight nanny at buyer’s expense.

Breeder Inquiries

We do not typically sell unaltered cats to be used for breeding. When we do, it is typically to established breeding programs where we have an existing relationship. However, we are open to discussing breeder inquiries and mentoring new breeders. Please contact us at FractalBengals@gmail.com.
