I'm looking into adding a Bengal Kitten to my family some time next year. Although my other half would get me one in a shot I am determined to save up myself but cannot find out approx how much I will need to save. I am in the UK and just need a ball park figure to start working towards.

Does anyone have a rough idea? I will be looking for a pet quality kitty male or female and have no preference in colour.

Also does anyone know of any reputable breeders in the UK, I did an google search and found Tuhina Bengals, any others would be appreciated.

I have so many questions my head is spinning
I guess I'll have to start writing them down!!

Step one, get in contact with a Bengal association:
Click Me!

Or Me!!

or others. They can put you in contact with a breeder and help answer any questions you have.

Or contact the GCCF and request a list of registered bengal breeders.

I found a few

http://www.gaylee.co.uk/
Kittens coming at the end of this month and in April. They don't really say what their price is, but they say "reasonable" so I guess whatever the UK standard is.

http://www.indykatz.com/
They have a really nice looking site and nice looking cats too. They appear to sell foundation kittens as well. Lots to choose from.

I think they specialize in snow bengals. If that's what you're looking for they have a few ready to go as well as some browns.

http://www.tuhinabengals.com/
This one I guess you already found. They have kittens coming in April. Says from 350 pounds +
(Also some adults, one £50, one pretty two year old snow girl for FREE)

Bengals come in
brown spotted
sorrel
mink snow (aqua eyes)
seal sepia snow
seal lynx snow (blue eyes)

and the less common
blue
silver
melanistic (black)
I've heard of foundations refered to as "charcoal"
All come in spotted and marbled.

Any other questions?

Good luck finding a bengal. I would get in touch with the bengal breeder you found and then ask them if there are any bengal breeders local to you.

Heaven help you. I love my Bengal boy with a passion, but he is a hand full.
