Major League Bengals WV

03/23/2023

Howdy friends and followers 🤠

I realize that I haven’t made a post updating everyone on our whereabouts lately. As of Fall 2022, Major League Bengals are retired!

We feel absolutely blessed to have been able to bring such beautiful creatures into the world. Each litter was special in their own way, and it was so fun seeing each kitten develop both in looks and personality. They definitely kept us on our toes and we wouldn’t have had it any other way. Breeding was an absolutely worthwhile experience that taught us so much.

While I will never regret breeding, it goes without saying that doing things the right way can be exhausting. Every spare second was spent socializing kittens, providing prenatal care for moms, staying up all night supervising labor/birth, monitoring and observing babies, researching best practices and nutrition, veterinarian trips, screening potential adopters, preparing contracts, making goody bags, and constantly educating myself to be a resource for my adopters. We put so much into this cattery, and it was a hard decision to hang the hat up. Ultimately, we wanted a sense of normalcy for both us and our cats. Their health and happiness is always our top priority, and all are thriving since being spayed/neutered.

I am of course still always here for any of our previous adopters. I don’t have a personal Facebook, so I don’t actively get notifications here. My cell phone number is on your contract, please feel free to reach out to me at any time with any questions, comments, or concerns, no matter how small, especially if you need a response timely since I don’t always see messages here. If you need my number, shoot me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

I will continue to keep the page open and hope to periodically post photos of our babies, updates from previous kittens/litters, and fun Bengal related facts and tips.

Thank you all for your support over the years. Whether you’ve experienced the love of one of our babies, or simply shared one of our posts, we appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts.

UPDATE: Allie has found a perfect home. Fingers crossed for a smooth transition for her. Thank you to all who reached out. ♥️

Hi, friends—

After much consideration, we are putting out feelers for interest in Allie. She is 1 year and 4 months old, born here July 25, 2021. She had one litter in June 2022, and was spayed in September.
We LOVE her, and this has been a hard decision but ultimately her health and happiness is always the priority. Unfortunately, Allie is just not the biggest fan of living with so many other cats (we have 6 total). I don’t mean that she is aggressive at all, in fact quite the opposite. While everyone else lays together and plays, Allie is usually off by herself.
I really started considering this earlier this month when the three younger boys were gone for the day getting neutered, leaving Allie and the two older girls. She really came out of her shell and was a lot more social than usual. When the boys got back home and started their typical tomfoolery again, she went back to staying hidden away the majority of the time. It just makes me sad to think about. I think she would thrive somewhere with maybe another submissive but playful friend or two. I think she would do well with a calm dog. She has never been around kids, and I think small children may scare her.
That being said, she does love to play and would need parents willing to spend time doing so every day. Feather toys are her absolute favorite, and she can jump amazingly high. She also likes running on the cat wheel, so that would be a huge bonus. She likes to look out the window and chirp at the birds. She gets in moods where she wants to talk to you about anything and everything, so be ready to carry on a conversation. Oh, we haven’t put up the Christmas tree yet, because we have to get a new one… because Allie made ours look like a Charlie Brown tree last year, she loved climbing in it.
She has never used the bathroom outside the litter box, and is the only one that doesn’t really have an interest in human food and won’t pester you while you’re trying to eat.
As previously stated she is fixed, and has had her yearly exam and rabies vaccine. She is microchipped. TICA registered and Optimal Selection genetic tested, clear for all conditions tested. She is to be indoor only.

We love her so much, and would love to see her in an environment where she thrives and can be the star of the show. If you or someone you know may be interested, please send us a message and tell us a little about yourself and your lifestyle, such as other pets, etc. We are in absolutely no rush, and she will be loved for as long as necessary until we find the perfect fit for her. ♥️

“Talk to me, Goose!”
Re-introducing sweet 18 week old boy Goose. He is a bit of a special kitty. For some time now, he has been noticed squinting his eyes quite a lot. He sometimes gets skittish if you approach him too fast. We think he may have some issues with his peripheral vision. Once you start petting him, he purrs like a machine, it just takes a little patience getting there. That is the only time it affect him, and he eats, runs around, climbs, and plays without any issue. We held off on posting about him until we could get him in at the vet, which was yesterday. Thankfully, the doctor said his eyes look pretty normal, with no inflammation, no redness, no scratches and no infection, pupils were a good size, equal, and reactive to light. She stated there is a specialist in Pittsburgh that may be able to dig deeper and make sure there are no other issues causing him to squint. It is worth noting that progressive retinal atrophy is a disease prevalent in Bengals, however both of his parents are negative and are not carriers, as found from their DNA testing. Promisingly, he hasn’t been doing it as much the last week, as you can see in the below photos from yesterday (except the last photo, which is an example of his squint), so hopefully it is something he may outgrow, we just don’t know.
He is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL blue with gorgeous contrasted rosettes and glitter. We recommend a home with a low stress level and no dogs. Could you be the forever home for this sweet, special boy? 🤍

Okay friends. These three have been ready for quite some time now, and while all have had interest, they STILL have not found forever homes.

Brown female is 19 weeks. She is so sweet and calm. She loves to be near you and loves to purr. She has a wild face that reminds me of the Asian Leopard Cat. She is our last available female.
Darker blue boy is super chill and laid back. He likes to play, but isn’t super crazy. He is a solid, chunky boy. Beautiful bright eyes and glittery coat. 16 weeks.
Lighter blue boy can be timid, but he has came out of his shell quite a bit in the last few weeks. Once you pet him he purrs and rolls over on his belly. He may take a bit to warm up, but once he does he is great. Very vocal. Has BEAUTIFUL rosettes and glittery coat. 16 weeks

Please reach out if you are interested. Prices are lowered and all are ready to go immediately. Application still required.

Since you can’t post photos and videos in the same post for some reason, here’s a video from yesterday of the female in our last post. Check it out to see the photos! Copy of the caption:

“This sweet girl is 17 weeks old and has no idea how she hasn’t found her forever home yet. She is so calm, cuddly, and a purring machine. She has a very wild-looking face, and her eyes remind me quite a bit of the Asian Leopard Cat, as compared in the last photo. She loves to sit with you, and is laying on my feet while typing this. Fair warning, as you can see in the photos towards the end you may lose her in a leopard print blanket! She truly is a sweet baby and is the last female we will have.”

Please send us a message if you are interested or have any questions.

SPOTLIGHT SUNDAY: ✨ blue bengals ✨

The unique blue Bengal can be produced only when both parents carry at least one copy of the dilute gene. For example, in this litter, both mom and dad are brown, but carry dilute, which resulted in three beautiful powder blue/gray toned babies. Their coats are gorgeously contrasted and full of shine. They possess all of the same amazing Bengal traits.

We have three blue males available!

Mint collar: lots of striking rosettes. He has really came out of his shell the last few weeks, and loves to cuddle on your lap just as much as he loves to play. Very curious and follows you around.

Orange collar: acts like he’s tough, but as soon as your hand touches him he melts and starts purring. He may take a little to warm up, but once he does he will make a great addition to any family. He also likes to watch TV.

Blue collar: sooo chill. Loves sleeping and cuddling. Would make a great companion pet. Rolls over to let you pet his belly. Has the sweetest face with striking eyes.

All kittens have had two sets of vaccines, are microchipped, dewormed, and vet-checked.

This could be you!

All kittens pictured, except for the brown sitting on the knee playing with the toy, are available. All of these blue males are g o r g e o u s, the red collar brown male is sooo sweet and has an amazing personality, and the older female still left from Chloe’s litter is so calm and cuddly.

PM for more information!

Update: he has found his forever home! 🥰

The last of his litter mates is leaving today, but this pretty boy is all dressed up with nowhere to go and can’t figure out why! I mean, sure he’s missing the tip of his tail (momma mistook it for the umbilical cord at birth) but he thinks it makes him special and unique. He will be your best friend if you have any kind of toy, especially feathers, and will curl up next to your legs. Very mischievous but in the cutest way. He has beautiful markings and a wild looking face. He can’t wait to find a family to call his own ♥️

Message if interested!
