VALLEYKATZ BENGALS

We are a small family Bengal Cat Breeder in the Myakka River Valley, Sarasota, on the Gulf Coast of Florida.   It became clear to us with our first Bengal Cat that no one needs to improve the personality of this wild-looking family pet. Their temperament epitomizes heart, athleticism, and intelligence- bold and affectionate.  It is a pleasure to have these amazing cats in our home.

Silvers are our only focus

It is the striking Silver Bengal Cat that we were most taken with.   And so, our goal is the furthering of this special breed by intensifying the qualities of the lovely Silver Bengal Cat. We hope to improve their color, contrast, and type with our future breeding.

Valleykatz Bengals has had the  TICA Southeast region TOP SILVER BENGAL for

2021, 2022, 2023 & this year 2024 best Bengal and silver Bengal.

To make sure you get a healthy kitten, ALL of our breeding cats are tested negative for:

  • FeLV/FIV    (Feline Leukemia/ Feline immunodeficiency virus)
  • PKdefficiency        (Hemolytic anemia)
  • PRA-b        (Bengal Blindness)
  • And after their 1st year, they are routinely screened for HCM  (Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)

When I first started looking for a silver bengal a few years ago I found this amazing boy

right here in Sarasota  but no kittens available. But clearly it was meant to be! 2 years

later I found a kitten and her father was Steely. He had been placed with Rowan Bengals in

Alabama due to his owners health problems.  Many thanks to Josh and Helen for my lovely girl

and mentoring me thru SO many questions.

Empirical Evidence: Cats Love People

A recent article in the NY Times written by Nicholas Bakalar discusses a study in which 19 out of 38 cats (that’s half!) preferred the company of humans above other entertainment options such as catnip, food, or toys. This proves that cats really are affectionate and love humans!
