OUR HOME
and CATTERY
Welcome to
our home and cattery.
We are located in the Dallas/Fort Worth
area.
As much as
we love to have our Bengals running with us in our home - it is not
possible with every cat
and at all times. Intact male AND female cats will spray. In
order to keep our home as clean,
sanitary, and safe as possible for our cats and kittens - we have an
in-home and an
outside cattery. All of our kittens are raised
in our home - never in cages!
Our
queens have their own rooms to give birth and raise their kittens for the
first several weeks. This
gives them the peace and quiet they desire. The rooms are complete with an
exercise wheel
to remain in prime condition prior to giving birth. There are also
human beds,
so I can keep an eye on birthing girls throughout the night.
As kittens become mobile and start investigating outside their nest, mom and her
kittens are soon moved
to a playroom with lots of toys
and stimulation. They
remain in this playroom until they are
fully litter box trained and are
ready
to graduate to the full run of the house.
Our kittens are socialized by our nieces and nephews,
as well as
our dog, Riley. Meet Riley.
He thinks he is a Bengal cat. He loves to wear leopard
clothes. Why? Because he likes attention too!
Below
are
interim enclosures for spraying females in heat. Each
enclosure was
custom designed to allow for the largest amount of space possible.
They
are
also complete with lofts, windows and lots of toys!
We have
outdoor houses for spraying
males. They have a nice indoor space,
heated and cooled, as well as an attached outdoor run.
We have 10x10
playpens
to enjoy fresh air and sunshine.
They love to sit
and bird-watch. We have pretty cardinals that visit often.
I think they like the color red because they get really excited!
They also like it
when the horses and squirrels come right up to them.
Below is a kitty
play yard. It is designed with special fencing to
prevent cats
from escaping over or under the fence.
The kitties love the
freedom and exploration. However, it is not safe for cats and
kittens to
be outside,
alone, unsupervised. Our cats are only allowed outside under our close supervision.
Not all of our
cats live with us. If so, we would have far too many cats for one
family to care for.
Therefore, many of our breeding cats live with
co-owns. Co-owns are dear friends that desire to
have maybe a litter or two a year under our supervision. This
allows our queens to live in
homes with loving families
and get the special attention Bengals require and deserve.
