Current Queens
Rainforest Sashimi of Sakura "Sashi"
Early Generation Bengal - 2G/F2
I have always wanted an early generation Bengal female and we finally found the right one at the right time! We love Sashi's many wild traits - small ears, thick low-set tail, large nocturnal eyes, puffy whisker pads...I could go on and on! She has the added bonus of genetic diversity since she is approximately 30% wild Asian Leopard Cat - her mother is an F1 (first generation Asian Leopard Cat X Bengal cross) and father is a G6. Sashi has always been skittish around people and as an adult she prefers not to be near people at all. But since she LOVES other cats, she a has a friend or two with her as often as possible to keep her company. We have had several litters of kittens from her and have used a combination of hand-raising and fostering with other queens to ensure that her babies are well socialized. So far all of her babies have become *excellent* pets and are extremely loving towards their people! Unfortunately Sashi has not had a litter in just over a year (as of August 2024) so while we will keep trying for another year or so, we will not be taking names for our wait list for any of her kittens until after they are born.
Sakura Wakumi "Umi"
Early Generation Bengal - G3/F3
Umi is our G3/F3 Keeper girl from Sashi and Onyx's first litter, which was also our first early generation litter! Umi carries ALC agouti (which can produce charcoal), seal point, dilute, and glitter so she can produce a variety of kitten colors. Her genetic diversity is above average at 37%! Her kittens are SBT Bengals which are considered fully domestic even though they are only 4 generations from the ALC. Umi also carries Ta^M_pb which is a very rare Asian Leopard Cat tabby gene!
***Umi screened clear of HCM by Dr. Peggy Sayer in April 2024 at 2.5 years of age.
Sakura Hikari
Early Generation Bengal - G3/F3
We weren't planning on keeping another female from Sashi so soon, but this girl is absolutely gorgeous and extremely bonded to me, so she had to stay! Her parents are our G2 girl Rainforest Sashimi and our homegrown boy Sakura Secret Ingredient "Roux." Her genetic diversity is far above average at 40%! Her kittens are SBT Bengals and are considered fully domestic even though they are only 4 generations from the ALC. Hikari's golden coloring with white belly is technically brown, but with at least one modifying gene that causes a shift in the coloration from brown to almost red. She is NOT a red Bengal. Her coloring has historically been called "sorrel" by Bengal breeders of the past. Her daughter Sakura Distant Star "Haruka" also has this coloration.
***Hikari screened clear of HCM by Dr. Peggy Sayer in July 2023 at over 2 years of age.
Katzmeow Sweet Jasmine of Sakura "Jazzy"
Jazzy comes to us from our friends at Katzmeow Bengals. Jazzy is a silver charcoal mink who carries longhair, so we have a lot of possibilities with her! She has gorgeous round aqua eyes, thick tail, and beautiful coloring. She is on the smaller side, but very sassy and sweet at the same time!
**Jazzy screened clear of HCM in January of 2024 at 15 months of age.
Upcoming Queens
Sakura Distant Star "Haruka"
Haruka is our keeper daughter from Sakura Hikari and our RW SGC Sakura Starlord "Quill" and we are head over heels for her! She is a beautiful brown rosetted with the same golden "sorrel" coloring and white belly as her mother. She is a 4G (4th generation from the Asian Leopard Cat) which is designated as SBT and eligible for show. She has already attended several shows as a kitten and done quite well! Haruka's golden coloring with white belly is technically brown, but with at least one modifying gene that causes a shift in the coloration from brown to almost red. She is NOT a red Bengal. Her coloring has historically been called "sorrel" by Bengal breeders of the past. She inherited this coloring from her mother Sakura Hikari.
*** Haruka will be scheduled for her first HCM screening in Spring 2025 at one year old.
WildLegacy The Queen Reigns Supreme "Lily"
Lily came to us from our wonderful friend at WildLegacy Bengals when she made the tough decision to retire from breeding. Lily is a beautiful glittered brown rosetted. We plan to have a single litter from Lily at WildLegacy's request and she will then be retired. More information and photos to come.
*** Lily is 2 years old and is scheduled for her first HCM screening this Fall.
WildLegacy Mirror Image "Mina"
Mina came to us from our wonderful friend at WildLegacy Bengals when she made the tough decision to retire from breeding. Mina is a beautiful silver rosetted female who is actually the daughter of our retired stud Rowan Dark Winter "Hunter." We plan to have at least one litter from Mina so that we can carry on Hunter's line. More information and photos to come.
*** Mina is 4 years old and is scheduled for her first HCM screening this Fall.
