Questions & Answers

Frequently asked questions

Are Bengal cats hypoallergenic?

No cat is completely hypoallergenic, but Bengals tend to produce less of the Fel d 1 allergen, so many allergy-sensitive families do well with the breed. We always recommend spending time around Bengals before committing.

How much does a Bengal kitten cost?

Pricing reflects pick order within a litter: pet kittens are 2,000 dollars, show kittens are 3,000 dollars, and breeder kittens are 4,000 dollars. Every kitten, regardless of tier, comes home fully vetted, registered, and health guaranteed.

Are your Bengal kittens TICA registered?

Yes. Every Lap Leopard Bengals kitten is TICA registered. Pet kittens are registered with a spay or neuter agreement, while breeder kittens include registration with full breeding rights.

Are the kittens vaccinated and spayed or neutered before pickup?

Yes. Each kitten receives its age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming, a vet health certificate, and is spayed or neutered before going home. Rabies vaccination is given by your own veterinarian after pickup.

How old are the kittens when they go home?

Kittens are ready to go home between eight and eleven weeks of age, once they are fully weaned, vaccinated, and altered.

Do you offer delivery or shipping?

Yes. We offer local pickup, monthly group transport along the East Coast I-95 corridor for 400 dollars, and airport delivery ranging from 450 to 700 dollars depending on destination.

How do I reserve a kitten, and what is the deposit?

After we talk and you choose your kitten and pick order, a deposit holds your kitten. Pet deposits are 300 dollars and non-refundable; show and breeder deposits are 1,000 dollars and follow the refund terms in your contract. Deposits are accepted by Zelle, Apple Pay, or PayPal.
