Process to Getting A Bengal Kitten
1. We highly recommend getting 2 Bengal kittens if there are no other companion pets at home that can keep up with the energy level of a Bengal. This will make life a LOT easier, to understand why please read the following Blog article: Why get 2 kittens
Getting Onto The Public Wait List:
Please print, fill, scan, and email back the contract (one per kitten) and leave a deposit. Email: LapLeopardBengals@aol.com
Deposit requested is $200 for a PET kitten and is Non-Refundable and $1,000 for a kitten with First Pick/Breeding/Showing rights, which is refundable after 12 months, that guarantees top quality. The First Pick list is a good option for those seeking a specific color/gender/look in the least amount of time possible. After the deposit is received, your place in line on the Public wait list will be locked and nothing else is due until you pick up your kitten in person. The wait-list is determined by the order we receive deposits.

Deposits can be taken online via Paypal:
-We are a Paypal Verified Business, therefor, all transactions are backed by Paypal. However, Paypal charges an additional 3% extra fee for their service. This fee has been added within the Deposit payment. |
2. Pricing & Transport:
All PET kittens are priced at $1,700 regardless of color or gender. First Pick and Altered Show Kittens are priced at $2,700. Breeding Rights are $3,500. Prices are locked on the contract. Click Kitten Pricing for further information.
We personally offer a ground transport service from GA to CT for a minimal $250 fee. Therefor, we can offer to all the states along the entire East Coast as well as all of New England! We also work with another pet transporter. that can ground transport to the western states for $300-$500. Additionally, we can personally fly you your kitten to your local airport for the additional cost of the plane ticket plus $150 for our time. This is for those that can't fly to us. We refuse to offer Cargo transport for we believe this is a dangerous method that can lead to serious injury or death.
3. The Claiming Process:
The Available kittens page will always be updated on a regular basis to reflect when litters are born and when queens are breeding or confirmed pregnant and their due dates. Once a litter turns 4-5 weeks old, it is deemed old enough to showcase personality and reliable quality indicators. YouTube Videos will be taken and uploaded to both the YouTube channel as well as the Available kittens page. At that point, we start the "Claiming Process" and will be working our way down the First Pick/Breeder's Rights/Show Rights list and then the Pet Deposit List to get the kittens claimed.
Please subscribe to our YouTube Channel for the latest updates. Names will be given to the kittens based upon a theme for identification purposes only.
Please note, for purposes of streamlining the claiming process, that Lap Leopard Bengals will be contacting people according to their listed gender/color preferences (Desired kitten section on Contract). Please become familiar with all of our colors that we breed for and choose your preferences carefully as your wait time and whether we contact you regarding available kittens will all depend upon that. You can change your preferences at any time. The colors we breed for currently are: Brown, Silver, Snows (Sepia, Mink, Lynx), Charcoal, Charcoal Snows, Blue, and Charcoal Blue, Melanistic/Panther. To see examples of these colors, please view our Colors & Patterns page.
So how my process works is you give me your preference and if there are any available kittens that match your preference by the time I get to you on the list then I contact you. At that time, you get to pick out your kitten or choose to Skip.
4. Here's the scoop on SKIPPING:
You are allowed to voluntarily Skip what is available at the time I reach you on the list should you not like what you see or for any personal reasons (timing/vacations, moving, ect). Should you decide to Skip, you will not loose your place in line. Once the list becomes readjusted after all those ahead have been removed because they have already received their kittens, then you will move up the list. In this manner, everyone can get exactly what they want, it's just a matter of time and rising in the list to get more choosing power.
Also of note, should you take a gamble and decide to voluntarily skip on a current litter in hopes of a better outcome on a future litter then you have forfeited your rights to that litter. You will not have the ability to take away any claimed kittens from those underneath you on the list during the "Claiming Process" should the future litter be born and the outcome be not desirable. It is for these considerations that sometimes we hold off the start of the Claiming Process if another litter is Due relatively soon to minimize unpleasant gambles. However, we can't hold the process off forever and we feel it is unfair to take away claimed kittens by those that have voluntarily skipped.
You will be automatically skipped if:
a) there are no kittens available because they have all been claimed by those ahead
b) there are kittens available, but they don't match your listed preference
5. Preparing For Your Kitten:
Please read Kitten Care to prepare for your Bengal kitten's arrival. We also send out an email a week before pickup with lots of links for resources. When you arrive to pick up your kitten, please bring a carrier, a cooler with ice pack for your included intra-nasal vaccinations, and the remaining amount due in cash. No checks accepted for the final payment.
We use to reserve an hour when you picked up your kitten to go over basic Kitten Care Education. To Streamline the process and get you your kitten faster, we now have this 1 hour Pet Education tutorial available on video as part of our YouTube Education Series. This way, you can take advantage of our knowledge and recommendations all while in the comfort of your own home and have it for a refresher course. Prior to picking up your Bengal Kitten, please take the time to watch these 2 videos:
