Magnus

Bengal Cats

The list had shortened up considerably, what with current economic conditions. However, the inquiries are really starting to roll in again and the waiting list is getting longer.

In 2023, we have added Magnus, Celeste, and Catalina to the program; there will be more snows, and some outstanding browns, as well as charcoals, and new in 2023, 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 there are going to be some incredibly beautiful kittens this summer and 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 is still at $600, it has been $600 for over 10 years and it is NOT GOING UP!

2023 has meant a big change in the breeding here. Smudge has retired, Cinnamon was retired and spayed in 2023, and Holly was also spayed this spring. 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.

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.

And Introducing....

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.

And....

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.

And...

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!
