Dracarys Bengals

Dracarys Bengals This is the official fan page for Dracarys Bengals Cattery! We welcome all bengal lovers and cat en There are good and bad aspects in every aspect of life.

As owners of the bengal breed, and avid animal rescuers we came up with an amazing idea to start up a cattery that will not only help to keep the bengal breed alive, but also to assist with rescuing unwanted bengals and educating prospective pet owners about them! Our goal is to produce high quality bengals with great health and temperaments that will be loved and cared for just as we have done si

nce they came into this world. We will be representing the breed in both TICA and CFA associations. Because we also do rescue, we do understand the issue people have with breeding. I can honestly say it is very rare to find a true bengal in a shelter and without breeders they could not exist. I know this from first hand experience of trying to adopt a bengal from a shelter over a seven year time frame and never finding one. Just by luck, I found someone who was re-homing one and adopted him. Ryu is a great cat, but he is our personal pet and not a breeder cat. In researching breeding, yes some people do it improperly. That is not our goal at Dracarys Bengals. We have excellent mentors assisting us with our bengal breedings. We will always seek assistance or advice in anything we do not understand from those who are recognized in the community as being ethical. We are also committed to our cats for their entire LIFE. We never want to see one of our animals placed in a pound, or given away or sold! Our babies are always welcome to come back to us for ANY reason and it will actually be required if purchasing a kitten from us. Animals have feelings. They are not objects. We love every one of our animals and want them to be placed with the best possible families. If we deny a sale to you, it is simply because we may not feel it is the right fit for our babies. Our responsibility is to the animals as we are creating them and bringing them into the world. At no time do we ever want anything bad to happen to them. We will rarely sell our Bengals to people for breeding. There are to many people who are irresponsible and we do not wish to contribute to that aspect. We are not implying that we will never sell a breeder, but it will be at our discretion and we will want to consult with others whom have worked with you on a professional level. This will include veterinarians! Finally, we will require a home check for every single animal that we place into a home! Yes we understand that you are paying for a pet, but to us they are our everything and we want them to not only have a good family, but we also have to ensure that they will have a safe area to reside in. We will continue to be advocates for cats in rescue as well as working to perfect the bengal breed.

There is so much magic in the beauty of Christmas. This is still my favorite photo taken of my sweet Mowgli years ago right before he came home. He was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I sure do miss him more than words can comprehend. Mo passed last year at only 7 years old. I know this is one I will never get over, but I have to believe I will see him again someday πŸ“· mickyjanicek

There’s a misconception that breeders don’t love their animals, but for those of us who breed with care, that couldn’t be further from the truth. We love these animals deeply. We care for them, protect them, and do everything we can to give them the best possible lives.

The hardest part of being a breeder isn’t the work or the time… it’s the choices we have to make. Parting with them is never easy, and it’s often the most heart-wrenching thing we’ll ever do. But we do it because we want them to have the best life possible, and sometimes that means letting go, even when it hurts.

When Aletheia was born, I fell in love with her instantly. Her sweet face, her playful spirit she felt like she was meant to be part of my family or a very close friend who I considered family. Ali had traits that I felt would better the breed and so I chose to place her as a breeding queen with

Angie and I always thought she’d stay with one of us, but life doesn’t always go as planned.

Unforeseen events have made it impossible for either of us to keep her, and after much heartache, we’ve made the difficult decision to find her a new forever family. Parting with Aletheia is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. She’s been with me since the beginning, and choosing to find her a new family is a sadness I can’t fully describe.

But… knowing who I placed her with gives me some peace. Angie and Craig have shown me how much they love her, and I know they’re doing everything they can to ensure she has the best future. Even with that comfort, it breaks my heart that I can’t bring her back home…

So now I am looking for a new family for Aletheia… a family with no dogs, a small number of cats.. where she can thrive in a calm, indoor-only environment. It’s going to be incredibly hard to find someone who loves her as much as Angie and Craig, but I’m confident we will find the right family for her.

This decision is for Aletheia’s best future, and I know she will be loved. If you think you could be the right fit for her, please reach out. We want her to be in the best hands possible, and I truly believe there’s a perfect family out there for her. πŸ’•

BAKERSFIELD CA

After heartfelt discussions with Angie, I’ve come to the difficult decision to look for a new forever home for Aletheia. As she retires from breeding, we had originally hoped she would stay with Angie forever or come back to me. Unfortunately, those options aren’t possible at this time, and I want to honor Angie’s wishes as well, since she has been such an incredible second mom to Ali.

Finding a family as wonderful as Angie’s will be no easy task, but I truly believe there’s someone out there who can meet my expectations for Aletheia’s forever home. From the moment she was born, Ali has held a special place in my heartβ€”there’s never been another kitty quite like her. I can still feel her warmth nuzzling my neck or resting in the palm of my hand.

Aletheia has grown into such a beautiful girl, full of sweetness and just a dash of sass (thanks, Momma Star!). She knows she’s a queen and can be a bit dominant, but she generally gets along well with other kitties. One of her most endearing qualities is her nurturing spirit; she’s stepped in to mother kittens in need, showing a tenderness that melts your heart.

I’m reaching out to see if anyone who already has one of my kitties might be interested in bringing Aletheia into their home. I believe she deserves a loving family that will appreciate her unique spirit and all the joy she brings.

Angie was chosen for Ali because she truly is one of the most amazing people I know. I know this decision was not easy for her either. I am looking for an indoor only home for her with no dogs and a small number of kitties that has patience and time to let her adjust. If you or someone you know is interested in giving Aletheia a new forever home, please reach out to me or so that I can begin the questionnaire process ❀️

This needs to be said…

Secondhand smoke is not just harmful to humansβ€”it poses a severe health risk to pets, particularly cats. Exposure to to***co smoke increases the likelihood of developing numerous types of cancer, with the most common being lung cancer. Cats, due to their grooming habits and sensitive respiratory systems, are particularly vulnerable to the toxic chemicals in smoke, which can accumulate on their fur and in the air they breathe.

The risks are staggering: Studies show that cats living in households with smokers are more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases, lymphomas, and even mouth cancer. The carcinogens from secondhand smoke cling to surfaces, carpets, and furniture, creating a toxic environment that continuously affects your pet.

As a responsible pet owner, it’s crucial to be aware of these dangers. To ensure the safety of my cats that leave as breeders or pets, I implement a strict questionnaire process to assess whether there is smoking exposure in the household. This allows me to work with pet owners to mitigate risks and safeguard their cats from the potentially deadly effects of secondhand smoke. Your cat's health is too important to ignore these risksβ€”let’s work together to create a safe, smoke-free environment for your furry companion.

A huge thank you to Phil from Eye in the Sky who used his drone to find my girl when she got outside. I am so very grateful to him for coming out in the middle of the night and assisting with her recovery. Listen if you have a pet go missing don’t wait to call someone with a drone for assistance. Whoever created these devices… they’re genius and thank God we have them. I am so happy she is safely home ❀️
