What Does the "F" Stand for?

The F refers to Foundation Generations =
Cross between ALC & Domestic.

F1 - Is the first generation cross, 50% ALC blood. Males are sterile
F2 - Is the second generation away from ALC - Males are sterile.
 F3 - Is the third generation away from ALC - Some males are fertile
F4 - Is the fourth generation away from ALC and is usually the
dilution to produce Bengals with fertile males.

After the F4 you then have the Domestic Bengal Breed also known as a SBT
Bengal.  After the F4 it is not normal to carry on with using the F in front of the
generations, They are referred to as SBT ask your breeder to trace back the
generations for you.

How can I tell if a kitten is healthy?

Handle the kitten. It should have good muscle tone, a clean coat, and bright,
clear eyes. The kitten should not be sneezing or sniffling. Its eyes should be
free from discharge and its ears should be clean and pink inside. There should
be no bald patches or signs of dry, flaky skin. Check behind its ears and low on
its back, at the base of the tail, for flea dirt (which looks like black sand).

When can I take the kitten home?

Most responsible breeders allow their kittens to go to new homes at 8 weeks of
age or older. If you’re used to seeing barely-weaned kittens in pet stores, this
might seem old; but it’s actually a good age to make the transition to a new
home. At 8 weeks, a kitten is weaned, litter trained, and has been vaccinated at
least once. And it still has plenty of comical, lovable kitten hood to go.

What should I do after I bring the kitten home?

When you bring your kitten home, make sure you follow the breeder’s
instructions carefully. Making the transition to a new home can be very
stressful for any cat. Changes in food water, litter, and overall environment can
cause minor ailments, even in healthy cats. (For example, dairy products
usually cause diarrhea, so don’t give your kitten milk.)

How can I tell if a kitten is well-socialized?

Play with the kitten using a non threatening toy, such as a feather or ribbon.
After a period of normal caution toward strangers, the kitten should relax into a
friendly, active and playful attitude. Many perfectly friendly kittens would
rather play than be held; however, after becoming acquainted with you, the
kitten should let you hold it for a short time.


When will I receive the kitten’s papers?

When you get your kitten, you’ll receive its health/vaccination record and a
written sales agreement. After you have the kitten altered and send the breeder
a veterinarian’s certificate of neutering or spaying, the breeder will send you
the kitten’s TICA registration form. To register the kitten, you fill out the
registration form, and send it with the proper fee to TICA.


Why is the breeder asking me questions?

Don’t be offended if the breeder asks you questions (for example, whether you
have other cats, whether your current cat has been tested for Feline Leukemia,
etc.). The breeder is not trying to embarrass or intimidate you; they are simply
trying to determine whether their kitten will have the kind of home they want.
(Remember, to a responsible breeder, a kitten is not a commodity; it is an
individual to be loved.) A responsible breeder strives to find the best possible
home for each kitten.

Why buy from a responsible breeder?

While no one can guarantee that your kitten will never have a medical problem,
a responsible breeder’s commitment to ethical, responsible breeding increases
your chances of getting a healthy, well-adjusted kitten. What about the pet
overpopulation problem? A responsible breeder is acutely aware of the vast
numbers of unwanted cats and kittens, and breeds for quality rather than
quantity. Breeding a cat with less than ideal “show conformation” adds to the
pet overpopulation problem and degrades the overall quality of the breed. Don’
t think you can “offset the cost of the kitten by having just one litter”  have all
of your pet quality cats altered!

Questions to Ask:

What are the characteristics of the Bengal breed?

A responsible breeder will be happy to discuss the breed’s characteristics and
special food requirements with you. For example, Be sure you discuss the
breeds characteristics with the breeder and decide whether they are right for
your lifestyle and personal preferences.



Do you provide a written sale agreement that includes a health guarantee?

A responsible breeder adopts out a kitten only with a written contract that
includes a health guarantee.



What diseases and conditions does your health guarantee cover?

A responsible breeder guarantees that the kitten is in good health.



What vaccinations has the kitten received?

A responsible breeder will vaccinate the kitten at least once against
Panleukopenia (Feline Distemper), Calicivirus and Rhinotracheitis.



How are the kittens raised?

A responsible breeder puts careful thought and much care into raising healthy,
outgoing kittens, and will be happy to discuss their methods with you.



Can you provide references from people who have purchased kittens from you?

A responsible breeder will be able to provide references on request.
