Hello all,
I've recently been looking into getting a Bengal Kitten (the tame cats that look like mini leopards). But curiously, no ones ever gives me a price for them!?
Is this a case of "if you have to ask you can't afford it"? What can I expect to be looking to pay for a Bengal Kitten?
Thanks in advance!

They are very expensive. Prices can range from $1000 to $4000+ easy.
But, you can also try and find a rescue group and see if there are any Bengals available for adoption. Rescue groups are not in it for the money.
Go to: http://www.mypetnanny.info/PD/Rescues.htm
Also do a serach for Bengal rescue groups. These cats do end up in animal shelters and rescue groups too.
They are very beautiful, aren't they?

My ex boyfriends parents had a Bengal cat - it was GORGEOUS. It had been breed as a show cat but wasn't 100% perfect so the woman who owned the cat gave it away! Apparently they can cost around £5,000 if pure pedigree and up to show standards. Hope you've been saving your pennies or get a bargain!

For an average one, we've seen people pay up to £1200, for pure bred ones with perfect markings £5000-£6000 is not uncommon - thats a lotta cash for a puddy tat - but they are gorgeous and generally soft natured.

you should check out www.gumtree.co.uk, you will find listings for Bengal kittens. They're about £350 for one you'll keep as a pet but not to take to shows. A word of caution though about that particular breed. They're extremely hard work as pets, they're loud, needy and demanding. It's not like having a normal moggie and it's generally recommended that if you buy one you should have previous experience in the breed as they're quite hard to train. My friends snobby sister insisted on getting two of them and now she's got two cats that go to toilet all over the house and scratch peoples faces.

between 300 and 550
they are not the nicest cats too get, too load and have a mean streak
working in a vets for 3 years and havent met a nice one.
a good old tabby is the best cat to get but if you want pedigree a burmese or rag doll

It depends on the breeder. Mine was $500 without papers for breeding. if you want to breed it, $1000 +...And word of advise, for all you people who want to get one just because they look cool, you better be expecting it not to just sit around and look nice...They are very active and they cause distasters in your house...I love mine and would never get rid of it, but there are times where I wanted to UPS it back to asia.

why don't you go to the shelter and adopt a cat that needs a home.
