GENERAL INFORMATION
ALL KITTENS GO TO THEIR NEW HOMES AT 12 WEEKS OF AGE. HE/SHE WILL BE FULLY VACCINATED WITH A FELOVAX F4 (FELINE RHINOTRACHEITIS VIRUS-CALICIVIRUS-PANLEUCOPENIA VIRUS AND CHLAMYDIA PSITTACI), AT 8 WEEKS OLD AND BOOSTER AT 12 WEEKS OLD. KITTENS ARE WORMED AT 4, 6, 8 AND 12 WEEKS OF AGE WITH FELEX PLUS ALL WORMER. HE/SHE WILL BE DESEXED AND MICROCHIPED.
A CAT CARRY BOX WILL BE NEEDED TO TAKE YOUR NEW KITTEN HOME IN THIS WILL MAKE SURE IT WILL BE SAFE, WONT BE ABLE TO ESCAPE AND CAUSE HAVOC IN THE CAR.
INCLUDED IN THE COST OF THE KITTEN , NEW OWNERS WILL TAKE HOME A KITTEN CARE PACK WHICH WILL INCLUDE PRO PLAN KITTEN DRY FOOD, A FRONTLINE PLUS KITTEN PACK, KITTEN CARE BOOKLET, SMALL BAG OF BREEDERS CHOICE KITTY LITTER AND 6 WEEKS FREE HEALTH INSURANCE.
KITTENS ARE FULLY TOILET TRAINED. I RECOMEND AND FEED PRO PLAN KITTEN DRY FOOD AND FRESH BEEF OR CHICKEN WINGS, ALL KITTENS ARE WEANED ONTO PRO PLAN KITTEN DRY FOOD. PRO PLAN KITTEN DRY FOOD SHOULD BE FED UNTIL APPROX 12 MONTHS OLD AND CAN THEN BE FED ON PRO PLAN ADULT CAT CHICKEN & RICE OR SALMON & RICE.
YOUR BENGAL KITTEN ONCE TAKEN HOME WILL IDEALLY BE AN INDOOR PET, NOT ONLY WILL THIS ENSURE IT WONT GET STOLEN BUT ALSO KEEP IT SAFE. CATS WORST ENEMYS ARE CARS AND OTHER CATS. AS A QUALIFIED VETERINARY NURSE I HAVE SEEN MANY HORRIBLE AND PREVENTABLE OUT DOOR INJURIES WHICH HAVE BEEN INFLICTED BY CARS, DOGS AND OTHER CATS. AND LIKE ME I AM DEVASTED WHEN ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY PETS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE FAMILY AND YOU LOVE THEM VERY MUCH.
YES CATS LOVE THE OUT DOORS AND YES THEY CAN BE KEPT OUT DOORS IN A SECURE OUT DOOR CAT RUN WHICH CAN BE CONECTED TO THE HOUSE SO THEY HAVE THE RUN OF HOUSE AND OUT DOORS. THUS A HAPPY AND SAFE CAT!
BENGAL KITTENS CAN BE TRAINED TO WALK ON A LEAD AND HARNESS. MY BENGALS LOVE GOING FOR A WALK AND THIS KEEPS THEM HAPPY AND THEY DONT MIND BEING INDOORS THE REST OF THE TIME.
IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU STILL WANT YOUR CAT TO BE ALLOWED OUTSIDE YOU MUST CONSIDER VACCINATING AGAINST FELINE FIV AND FELINE LEUKAEMIA VIRUS. THESE VIRUSES ARE CONTRACTED BY FIGHTING WITH INFECTED OTHER CATS. ALSO YOU MAY WANT TO CONTINUE ON WITH THE PET INSURANCE ONCE YOUR FREE PERIOD HAS FINISHED AS SOME CAR ACCIDENTS CAN BE COSTLY AND REQUIRE BIG EXPENSIVE SURGERY. YOUR KITTEN WILL BE MICROCHIPED BUT ITS A GOOD IDEA TO GET YOUR KITTEN USE TO A COLLAR WHICH YOU CAN HAVE A ID TAG AND THE MICROCHIP TAG ATTACHED TO IT. THIS WILL ENABLE YOUR CAT TO BE RETURNED TO YOU QUICKLY IF IT GETS LOST OR INJURED.
NOW JUST A WARNING BENGALS HAVE AN INFATUATION WITH WATER. TOILET SEATS MUST BE KEPT DOWN AND WHEN RUNNING A BATH WATCH OUT WITH HOT WATER. OH AND A SECURE LID ON YOUR AQUARIUM IS A GOOD IDEA OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE A KITTEN SWIMMING AROUND TOO. BENGALS ALSO LOVE PLAYING IN THEIR WATER BOWL SO MAKE SURE ITS A HEAVY BASE WATER BOWL SO THEY CANT TIP IT OVER.
BENGALS ARE VERY INQUISITIVE AND WANT TO CHECK AND EXPLORE EVERYTHNG OUT SO THE SAME AS CHILDREN BE CAREFUL WITH OVEN HOT PLATES, HOT IRON, HOT WATER.
WHEN INTRODUCING YOUR NEW KITTEN TO OTHER CATS/DOGS IT NEEDS TO BE DONE SLOWLY OVER A FEW WEEKS AND ALWAYS SUPERVISED. CATS ARE TERITORIAL AND DONT LIKE NEW ADITIONS IN THE FAMILY. THEY WILL GET USE TO EACH OTHER OVER TIME THIS MAY TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS BUT BE PATIENT. YOU WILL GET LOTS OF HISSING, SPITTING AND GROWLING AGAIN BE PATIENT MAKE SURE ALL CATS HAVE THEIR OWN SPACE IN THE HOUSE THEY CAN FEEL SAFE AND CALM.
