We have silver and snow bengal kittens available from a collaboration with our breeder partner, Janos Fabian.
Here’s how the reservation from this collaboration works:
- these kittens are growing up with Janos Fabian
- the kittens belong to him and me, they belong to both of us, since the parents also belong to both of us
- it is possible to reserve a kitten from this litter through us
- for booking I am the contact person
- On request we will send videos of the available kittens.
A visit with us is also possible where we introduce the kittens and Janos Fabian through a video chat - for the kittens bought through us, our contract and warranty applies
- the kittens are 3 times vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and receive a european passport a kitten kit and a pedigree with them
- the kittens grow up in the living room and are socialized with love
- the kittens can go to the new home at 4 months of age.
Until then we will send weekly videos and bring the kitten to your home by car - a name for the family tree you can choose yourself
- the parents are tested for all known hereditary diseases, these tests can be viewed on my website or I will send them on request
- the kittens grow up entirely in accordance with my values and have my guarantee
- Janos also has his own website (but it is not up to date) Kittens (bengalheaven.hu)
- References we can provide upon request of previous kittens from this partnership from the new owners

Why a bengal kitten from Praslin Bengals
Healthy cats
All kittens are vaccinated twice, dewormed four times, microchipped and given a passport.
All adult cats are regularly tested for HCM/PKD, PRA/PKDef, FeLV/FIV, TTF, cryptosporidium and giardia.
They are vaccinated and checked annually by our veterinarian.
The kittens are sold with a contract which is also your certificate of guarantee.
Of course you will receive a pedigree.
Social cats
Our kittens grow up in the living room in the company of the adult bengals.
They get used to all noises, such as vacuum cleaner and washing machine and are therefore not afraid of anything.
They are taken in the hands of our family a lot, so they develop a loving character.
We breed with care for our cats.
That means we only take a few litters per cat.
active communication
We send new photos every week.
We take these with a professional camera.
We post daily on social media about life within our cattery.
We respond to your emails within 24 hours.
You can also contact us after purchase for questions and advice about your kitten.
New list of domestic and hobby animals effective July 1, 2024
Bengals are allowed as pets from F5
Laws and regulations
Minister Henk Staghouwer has announced that as of July 1, 2024, only 30 species of mammals may be kept as pets.
This new Domestic and Hobby Animal List, drawn up by a group of independent experts, aims to improve animal welfare and protect human safety.
This will make it impossible to keep, breed or trade exotic mammals in the future.
This means, for example, that animals such as the serval, Russian dwarf hamster and hedgehog will no longer be allowed as pets.
This new list raised many questions among breeders of bengals and their buyers.
Therefore, we have inquired with the RFO.
The following applies to bengals. With effect of the Home and hobby animal list on July 1, 2024, it is no longer allowed to breed with the Bengal tiger cat (the wild ancestor) and with the first 4 generations of their hybrid offspring (F1-F4) in the Netherlands. Hybrids already in the Netherlands on Jan. 1, 2024, or with an animal pregnant on Jan. 1, 2024, are still allowed to keep, but not to breed further. Crosses of the fifth generation or higher are considered the domesticated species Felis sylvestris catus (domestic cats) and are still allowed to keep, sell and breed after July 1, 2024.
So in short, in the Netherlands, but also in Flanders(link) and the Brussels Capital Region(link) the bengal is allowed as a pet from F5 .
The bengals we breed are from the 10th generation and up (from F6 all generations are referred to as SBT – Stud Book Tradition).
the character of bengal
Does a bengal suit me?
Bengals are active and curious cats.
Are you someone who likes to connect and play with your cat?
Do you appreciate when your bengal greets you when you come home?
And can you laugh when a cat looks in on you with every cabinet you open?
Then you are in the right place with the bengal breed.
We still sometimes hear or read that a bengal is portrayed as an extremely energetic cat with all its drawbacks.
Not our experience at all.
Bengals are curious and involved, but also very gentle.
Bengals love the company of people or other cats, or dogs.
That also means they need a playmate.
They love to play, but are cautious with children.
Bengals are sometimes called “the dogs among cats.”
They are intelligent and can learn to fetch and open doors if you practice that with them.
They can learn to walk outside on a harness, much to the amazement of other people on the street.
Bengals can live just fine in an apartment.
You don’t have to have a house with a yard.
They find proper high places more important, so hang some shelves and put up a high scratching post.
We do not recommend leaving your Bengal cat outside alone.
They can get stolen, run over and contract diseases.
