Prices are based on the overall quality of the individual kitten. Each kitten is evaluated at 4 weeks 6 weeks, and some as late as 10 weeks before a definite classification is assigned to it, pet show or breeder. Kittens go through many growth changes so re-evaluation is sometimes needed. We usually know early on as to the quality but every once in awhile, a slow kitten excels later or a kitten thought to be a show kitten just falls short. We therefore will adjust the price accordingly. If a deposit is placed on a kitten that develops better than we thought, the price does not go up. If the kitten develops somewhat less than expected, we will reduce the price.

The kittens that are closest to the Bengal Standard, have the best coloring and markings, conformation and pattern, are the most expensive. They will be classified as show or breeder. At times, we do sell the better ones at a discounted price if the buyer does not want to breed and agrees to spay/neuter their kitten. Kittens that are not quite as flashy for show but are outstanding in other qualities of the Bengal Standard are our breeder kittens. They may just have a rib bar that would go against them in the show competition. Our pet kittens are often as beautiful as the show kittens but may possess a fault that would render it "not showable", such as a tail fault. These awesome kittens are striking and beautiful examples of the breed, just not ones that should be bred, or shown.

The deposit (holding fee) is non refundable as the kitten is being specifically held for you. A change of mind can very often make it difficult for that kitten to be offered to another buyer who already has been told it is spoken for.

Deposits are completely refundable if we cannot deliver a kitten for any reason.
