Tyler has contributed to our program in a big way! He was our first stud in "Phase 2" of our cattery and gave us many beautiful rosetted kittens with his super sweet personality! He was the first boy I had shown in many years and even though he only went to a limited number of shows he still became a Triple Grand Champion and 3rd Best Brown Bengal in our Region!

"Hunter"
Retired King
Silver Spotted Tabby - retired Fall 2021
Hunter was the last link to our original breeding cats from "Phase 1" of our cattery in 2009. We are so grateful to Joshua Dabbs for preserving our lines from Hunter's great grandfather QGC Sakura Midnight Sun "Max" and sending us Hunter when we got started with "Phase 2" of our cattery in 2017. Hunter has produced many gorgeous kittens, some of which will carry on his legacy in our program and others. Unfortunately, Hunter passed away at his retirement home in late 2022 at the young age of 4 due to an accident. I will always miss him, particularly his kitten months when he would jump into my arms and ride on my shoulder.

"Andi"
Andi had one litter here with Onyx and was a fantastic mother to them and Sashi's G3 babies that she raised with her own litter. When we decided to focus more on our Browns and Early Generation Bengals, we arranged for her to go to our friends Alexa and Tony at Bougie Bengals. Andi had one beautiful litter there and then went to a wonderful home as a spoiled pet.
GRC Elysian Stardust of Sakura
"Lyra"
Gone too soon 3/2/2022
Our hearts were broken when our beautiful, sweet, and feisty "Lyra-Belle" passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly. Just two days after giving birth to her final litter, she didn't want her dinner and I knew something wasn't right. We took her to the vet who discovered a very aggressive infection in Lyra's uterus. She was put on IV fluids and antibiotics, and immediately underwent an emergency spay. The spay was successful, but sadly the infection had already taken a huge toll and Lyra passed away only a few hours later. She was an amazing girl full of personality and an excellent mother to her kittens. She loved chattering at bugs and birds and loved burrowing under blankets. She was really fun to show - the judges loved her huge wild eyes and sweet expression. We are beyond devastated to lose her and will miss her always.
Lyra's children and grandchildren that are carrying on her legacy in our breeding program and others are listed below:
Sakura Winter Star "Maia"
(former queen here)
Sakura Luna of MirandasRanch "Luna"
(current queen at MirandasRanch in NV)
RW BW SGC Sakura Starlord "Quill"
(current stud here)
DGC Sakura Showgirl "Gina"
(current queen here)
Red Sea Captain of Sakura
"Nemo"
Retired Summer of 2022.
Nemo is a domestic shorthair that I adopted and registered as a Foundation Cat for use as part of our outcross program. He is a super sweet boy with a nice thick tail, broken mackerel tabby pattern, and medium-small rounded ears. We hope that his litter with Sakura Northern Lights "Nola" will produce some very genetically diverse kittens for use in our breeding program and others.
2023 Update: Nemo and Nola's son Arturo was a keeper and we planned for him to continue the outcross line. However, Arturo was bit by a brown recluse spider on the scrotum. He got very sick and the necrotizing skin and tissue had to be surgically removed along with his testicles. Luckily he survived and recovered quickly although he never produced kittens.
Gulfbeach Tempest Lady of Sakura
"Tippy" is an F1 Bengal which means she has one "domestic" Bengal parent and one Asian Leopard Cat parent, making her more than half ALC. She is the aunt of our G2 Sashi. Tippy came to us later in life and was past the point of being able to produce kittens. She will stay here indefinitely rather than retiring to a pet home, since she does not at all act like a pet and it is extremely difficult on F1s to be moved to a new home. She prefers not to have much interaction with people but does enjoy having male cats with her. She loves the fresh air, mountain and forest views, and freshly killed mice, chicks, and quail that we can provide for her. We will give her the best care even though she never produced kittens for us. Tippy has now been spayed, but still enjoys having a boy cat to keep her company.
Sakura Winter Star
"Maia"
Retired in January 2023
Maia is our homegrown keeper girl from our TGC Oaklandhills Wild Rumpus "Tyler" and our GRC Elysian Stardust "Lyra." We love her fiesty personality, beautiful coat, strong chin, and fantastic profile! She showed well as a kitten, but did not get to continue her show career due to the pandemic of 2020-2021. Maia is now retired and living in Charlotte, NC.
Maia's children that are carrying on her legacy are listed below:
RW BW SGC Sakura Starlord "Quill"
(current stud here)
DGC Sakura Showgirl "Gina"
(current queen here)

Retired in October 2023.
Nola was our keeper girl from a one-time-only pairing of Hunter and Zhara. She has an absolutely phenomental golden glittered coat which she gave to almost all of her babies! She is a super sweet girl and is full of personality! Nola and her "husband" Roux are now living as spoiled pets in Georgia.

"Roux"
Retired in February 2024.
Roux was my keeper boy from Stella and Tyler - as part of our outcross program he has a much higher than average genetic diversity for a Bengal! His COI is 15.5% and he has 37% genetic diversity. He has puffy whisker pads, nice profile, thick rosetted tail, and medium-large rosettes with no rib barring. He also has obvious whited expression on his face with nice goggles and white whisker pads. He is just the sweetest boy! Roux and his "wife" Nola live together in Georgia.
Roux's children and grandchildren that are carrying on his legacy are listed below:
Sakura Luna of MirandasRanch "Luna"
(current queen at MirandasRanch in NV)

Sakura Argenis of Elitebengalcats
(future queen at Elitebengalcats in Virginia)
We hope to have a grandbaby of Willow's to join our program in the future!
Sakura Windsong "Aria"
Soon to be at EliteBengalCats
Aria is a beautiful silver girl with a super sweet personality and high genetic diversity at 39%! She is a C0N level outcross with American Shorthair and Egyptian Mau several generations back. Because of this she is not eligible to be shown, but she has produced some gorgeous show quality kittens for us! She has lovely horizontal flow to her pattern, thick tail, and puffy whisker pads. Aria is PRAb clear and PKDef negative.
***Aria screened clear of HCM by Dr. Peggy Sayer in July 2024 at over 4 years of age.
Aria will soon be going to our wonderful friends at EliteBengalCats for one last litter and will then be retired before she turns 5 years old.
