Quality Bengal Kittens

Bengal Kitten Application

Bengal Kitten Application and Membership Interest Form


Our application helps us understand whether our program and guidance are the right fit for you. Submitting an application does not place you on a waitlist, grant you membership, or reserve a kitten. Approved applicants will be invited to join our advisory Membership, which provides education, guidance, early Kitten Selection Day invitations. Membership costs $500 for two years of monthly educational Zoom Calls. In addition, a $500 credit is applied toward a kitten purchase if one is made within the membership term.


2026 serves as a transition year between our former Waitlist system and our new Membership program. For litters in 2026, kitten selection opportunities will be offered first to Waitlist families, followed by Members, and then the general public.


Before completing the Application, please make sure you have read Purchasing a Bengal Kitten, so you know our price and procedure, Thinking about a Bengal Kitten so you understand the needs of a Bengal, and the Waitlist so you understand who is already waiting and what they are waiting for.

Important Information


These next two answers are super important because they will follow you onto the Waitlist if you choose to join our Advosory Mamebrship/Waitlist.


We are going to ask you to pick a gender. This is SUPER IMPORTANT. In order to help people have a better understanding of how long it may take to select a kitten, we separate our Waitlist by gender. We keep more females than males for ourselves. Therefore, the male list nearly always moves faster than the female list.


1. Gender: In general, females are more independent, and males are more needy. There are always kittens who break gender stereotypes, but that difference should be the primary factor when choosing a gender. Are you looking for a cat who will be less demanding? Female. Are you looking for a cat who will be more clingy? Male.


You can change this selection after speaking to us, but for now, this gives us an idea of what you are thinking.


2. Notes: We are going to ask you to put down any notes about things that affect your kitten selection, such as:

  • Timing (If your timing is NOT the next available, please write down the earliest you want to bring home a kitten.)
  • Color if you want a kitten OTHER than brown.
  • Family needs (homes with children)
  • If you have a pre-existing FEMALE cat, note it. Not all of our female kittens can be placed in homes with a female cat.
  • Are you looking for a more hypoallergenic cat? (This will limit your options.)
  • Desired must-have traits


This information does not affect your Waitlist placement, but it helps us and others understand which kittens you may pass on. For example, if you want a kitten six months from now, the people below you on the list can typically count on you not selecting a kitten within the next six months.


THE MORE NOTES YOU HAVE, THE LONGER YOUR WAIT MAY BE TO FIND THE RIGHT MATCH.

We divide out Waitlist by gender. Which Waitlist will you join, male or female? Read the box above to help you understand gender stereotypes before marking this box. Do NOT select female because male cats spray. That is not a factor to consider on sterilized cats. *
Please write down any notes that will help us know traits that would impact how quickly you will pick a kitten. The more notes you have, the slower you are likely to find a match. *
