Are you thinking about adding a Bengal kitten to your family? Bengal cats are one of the most stunning and intelligent breeds available, but there are a few important things you should know before buying a bengal kitten in Canada. As a trusted Bengal cat breeder in Nova Scotia, Canada, Novacoast Bengals is here to help you understand what makes Bengal kittens special — and how to prepare for your new Bengal kitten.
If you’re searching for Bengal kittens for sale in Canada, read on to learn the top five things to know before bringing home your new companion!
1. Bengals Are Beautiful — and Full of Energy
Bengal cats are famous for their wild, exotic appearance. With luxurious rosetted coats, vibrant coloring, and muscular builds, they truly look like miniature leopards. However, their beauty comes with an active and playful personality. Bengals are highly energetic, curious, and love to climb, jump, and explore.
If you’re considering buying a Bengal kitten, be prepared to provide lots of interactive toys, cat trees, and daily playtime to keep your Bengal happy and healthy. Bengals require exercise and mental stimulation to keep them happy and out of trouble.
2. Choose a Reputable Bengal Breeder
Not all breeders are the same. To ensure you have a better chance for a healthy, well-socialized kitten, always choose a CCA/TICA-registered Bengal breeder in Canada. A good breeder focuses on health, temperament, and ethical breeding practices. Research your breeder! Just because kittens are registered doesn’t mean that the breeder is responsible or ethical! Get to know the breeder and ask lots of questions.
At Novacoast Bengals, we raise all our kittens in a loving home environment. Every Bengal kitten is vet-checked, vaccinated, dewormed, and comes with a health guarantee — giving you peace of mind from the start. We offer a 6 year health guarantee, one of the longest, if not the longest, health guarantee in Canada.
3. Preparing Your Home for a Bengal Kitten
Bengals are curious and athletic, so kitten-proofing your home is a must. Remove small objects they might swallow, secure heavy items that could fall, and offer plenty of safe climbing opportunities. Investing in scratching posts, cat condos, and interactive feeders will help channel your Bengal’s energy in positive ways.
Remember: a bored Bengal can become mischievous — keeping them engaged is key to a happy life together!
Pro Tips: Do not keep a collar on your bengal when unattended. Bengals love to climb and a collar can get caught on things and lead to your bengal possibly getting strangled.
4. Understand the Financial Commitment
When researching Bengal kittens for sale, it’s important to plan for more than just the initial adoption fee. Bengals may cost anywhere from $2 000 to $4 000+ depending on pedigree, coat quality, and breeder reputation.
You’ll also need to budget for:
- Quality food (they should be fed a balanced raw diet)
- Veterinary care
- Toys and climbing structures
While Bengals are a financial investment, the reward is a loyal, affectionate, and strikingly beautiful companion.
5. Bengals Are Highly Intelligent and Social
Bengal cats are known for their intelligence and ability to learn tricks, walk on a leash, and even play games like fetch. They often form strong bonds with their families and love being part of daily activities.
However, Bengals thrive best with companionship. If you’re away from home frequently, consider having another pet (or even a second Bengal!) to keep your kitten company.
