🐾 Our First Encounter With A Bengal
Our first bengal, Paris … Ch Soldierfires True Love Of Novacoast (pictured at 5 months old)
I still remember the first time I saw a Bengal cat. Their wild appearance, silky coat, and striking rosettes caught my eye instantly—but what sealed the deal was their playful, dog-like personality. It was love at first sight.
🧬 From Cat Lover to Ethical Breeder
Becoming a breeder wasn’t a quick decision. After years of research and learning about the breed from bengal owners and breeders, we decided to take the leap! We are true believers in doing things properly, so when we were ready we added our first bengal, Paris, to our home.
Paris was a beautiful seal lynx point bengal with the most amazing blue eyes! He came from Soldierfire Bengals in the US. Paris walked out of his crate when we arrived home from the airport and acted like he had lived here his whole life! It was love at first sight for us and we haven’t turned back since! These amazing cats have been a huge part of our life ever since. If you ask any ethical breeder, breeding isn’t a hobby, it’s a way of life. You are dedicated to your breed and to moving it forward, producing better examples of the breed with each generation you produce.
We have put a lot into our breeding program. We weren’t just interested in producing kittens—we wanted to raise healthy, well-socialized, top quality Bengal cats that thrive as part of a family. And that is exactly what we have been doing!
“Our cats are not just pets—they’re family from the very beginning.”
