Magnus

Bengal Cats

The list had shortened up considerably, what with current economic conditions. However, the inquiries are really starting to roll in again. Most people are fairly specific about the color they want. We will have all colors avalable in 2024- brown, snow, silver, and charcoal.

In 2023, we added Magnus, Celeste, and Catalina to the program; we got some truly gorgeous snows, and some outstanding browns, as well as charcoals; in 2024, there could be a handful of charcoal snows. If you are very specific about color, this can mean a pretty long wait. But if you are open to different colors, this is a really great time to go on the list, because a lot of people are waiting on something quite specific.

NOTE- if you are thinking about it now, please do contact me! Now is the time, because the sooner you get on the list, the closer you are to the top!

Why Bengal? It's not just about the beauty, though I believe that is why most people are drawn to them. (And the low-allergenic factor sure doesn't hurt.) But the personality on these guys is just so much fun! They have such characters, they are ultra-playful, lots of them naturally fetch, they are funny and entertaining and so worth it! And always remember that they are HIGHLY intelligent.

ALSO NOTE- my price was $600 for over 10 years. As much as I hated to raise it, I ultimately decided sell my kittens at 11-12 weeks with two vaccinations instead of just one. With the insanely high cost of everything these days, and adding a second vaccination to each kitten, I was forced to raise it to $650. *PLEASE NOTE- if you were already on my list as of April 1, 2024, your price is still $600.

If you wish to be added to the list, please contact us! We will be happy to answer any questions! Contact via e-mail is preferred: lorri@coyoteacresranch.com .

Please leave a message if I don't answer, I will call you back. You can also call the land line at 403-884-2625. E-mail is the preferred method.

Before you contact me, please think about gender and color. If you are very specific about color and/or gender, I am going to need to know that. So don't just ask me to put you on the list with no clear idea of what you want. I maintain my list by color!

***ARE YOU ABOUT TO CALL OR E-MAIL YET? ***

Before you do that, please do us both a favor and read the FAQs. The link is with the photos! It may be long, but I promise you the answers to your questions are there.

**One important note- if you have been on the waiting list, a short time or a long time, and then I email you, if I don't hear back from you, you will come OFF the list. ***NOTE- 2024 seems to be starting off as The Year of the TIre Kicker. People are simply not replying when I get in touch. PLEASE, if you go on my list and then you have to back out, or you get a kitten elsewhere, when I get in touch with you, at least have the courtesy to respond. Ignoring my e-mail is rude to me and it is even more rude to the other people who are in line behind you!

*DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. In other words, if I back out, I will refund your deposit; if you back out, I may refund your deposit.

2023 saw big changes in the breeding here. Smudge has retired, Cinnamon was retired and spayed in 2023, and Holly was also spayed.. Truffle and Mel remain in the breeding program. So the focus will shift to Magnus, Celeste, and Catalina, along with Bagheera, Frosty, Truffle, and Mel. These cats will produce brown, snow, and silver, as well as charcoal in all three colors.

Shown here are the cats that are currently in the breeding program.

FROSTY- seal mink snow male who is used to produce all my snow litters. He never disappoints.

BAGHEERA ("Bugsy")- silver smoke male who provides our silvers and charcoals; marble carrier.

MELANIE- melanistic daughter of Bugsy, who is bred to Frosty for brown and snow. She has recently been bred to Magnus for charcoals and charcoal snows.

TRUFFLE- brown daughter of CInnamon; she also carries the dilute gene. She produces lovely silvers, and the most astoundingly sweet temperaments.

MAGNUS- Son of Poseidon and Cinnamon, his color panel test has shown him to be an Apb carrier, like his mother. I have been trying to create a male Apb carrier since I got Cinnamon three years ago, and I have finally got him! He is also a seal lynx snow carrier, which means that he can be bred to Mel for charcoals and charcoal snows. Magnus has beautiful bi-colored rosettes and he is dripping with glitter.

CELESTE- Affectionately known as "Squirrel", this little female seal lynx snow is an Apb carrier, and is another piece of the charcoal program puzzle. Because Bagheera is not a snow carrier, unfortunately for now there will not be charcoal snows from Celeste, but we can get those from Magnus & Mel so that's okay. Down the road the plan is to breed Squirrel to Magnus and get a double Apb that is also a snow or snow carrier. That kitten will ultimately be added to my breeding group. Celeste comes from Autika cattery in Sakatchewan.

CATALINA- our unexpected new addition! Coming from South Isl. Bengals, formerly of Vancouver Island and now just 20 minutes down the very road we live on, this little beauty was too close and too good to pass up. The breeder is retiring from Bengal breeding, so this was my first and last chance to get a kitten from them, and what a kitten! Smashing rosettes and super high-contrast, Catalina is a brown snow carrier, and testing has shown that she too is an Apb carrier! Suddenly we have Apb all over the place! And early in 2024 we found out she is a marble carrier as well.

Please get in touch with me to go on the list, and don't be afraid to keep checking back here for listed kittens!
