Price Factor

Qualitative

The quality of the kitten that you are looking at is a reflection of how well the breeder cared for them (which we will talk about in a moment). You’ll want energetic, healthy kittens with beautiful, straight coats once they are past the fuzzy stage. Breeders who breed quality cats must pay high prices (sometimes in the thousands) to obtain quality lines. Breeders breed Bengal cats to preserve the breed. However, they must charge more for kittens from quality lines.

Age

Growing kittens is expensive and time-consuming. If a kitten is allowed to go home before 8 weeks, it’s a red flag. This is a sign that the breeder is trying cut costs, but not at the cost of the kitten.

Demand

The cost of certain Bengals will rise depending on how much demand there is. There are many coat colors available for Bengals, including brown, silver, snow, charcoal, and melanistic. You can also choose from spotted or different rosettes and marbling patterns. Different coats and colors could be “trending”, which could result in a higher demand but also a higher price. Cost can also be affected by the rarity of certain colors.

Generation

SBT Bengals are the most common type of Bengal kitten. These kittens are bred from Bengals and Bengals to produce them. They are at least four generations away from the Asian Leopard Cat. These kittens are usually more expensive and require additional care if you find Bengals of higher generations (called F2 Bengals or F3 Bengals). SBT’s are the best option for pet owners.

Additional Bengal Cat Characteristics

You don’t have to be overwhelmed by all the variations, there are many more features available for the Bengal Cat.

1. Glitter

Although not all Bengals have this effect, some Bengals have a shiny, glittery coat. This shimmering, sparkling effect is noticeable even in low lighting. This rare trait was first observed in Bengal cats. Although it looks stunning and dramatic, there is a simple explanation. Random translucent hair shafts in the cat’s coat cause the “glitter”. The shafts reflect and catch light, making the hair shimmer and shine.

2. White Stomach

Breeders have tried for years to introduce the white-spotted stomach of Asian Leopard Cats to the Bengal breed. However, it is extremely rare and highly sought after.

3. Long-haired Bengals.

Cashmere Bengals are known for their long, silky Bengals. It is believed that the Bengal breed was created from a variety of domestic cats.

4. Primordial pouch.

The primordial pouch is another trait that the Bengal’s wild ancestry has given to them. It can be found on both males as well as females. The primordial pouch is found on the cat’s stomach and appears as a flap of skin between the back legs. It is often mistaken for a cat who is overweight or lactating. However, it does have a few biological purposes.

5. Frosted phase

. Bengal kittens often experience a unique stage of growth called the “frosted phase” or “uglies” at around three weeks. This is when the kitten’s hair becomes fuzzy and messy, much like the way Asian Leopard kittens look in the wild. This stage is believed to improve the kitten’s camouflage in this vulnerable stage.
