Sierra NV Bengals is a small T.I.C.A. registered cattery located at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Carson City, NV. Our cats are raised in our home with our 4 dogs. They are handled by adults and occasionally children. 

 

Bengals are an intelligent and active breed that requires plenty of stimulation and enrichment. Our setup includes an indoor stud enclosure and a separate cat room. Our female primary free roams until she is due with kittens. The cat room consists of cat trees, climbing shelves, a cat wheel, and toys. We plan on adding outdoor enclosures with additional housing to protect from the elements and predators. 

 

We conduct our genetic health testing for PRA-b, PK Def, coat color, length, and other genetic diseases and traits for all of our cats and kittens via Optimal Selection. UC Davis is another reliable source to test for PRA- b, PK Def, coat color, and length. We also test for Marble carriers and Pure For Spotting patterns through Dr. Chris Kaelin at Stanford University. Our breeding cats are screened annually for HCM.
