Santa Fe Bengal Cattery has signed and follows the TICA "Voluntary Code of Ethics" for Cat
and Kitten care and selling contract guide lines, as well as TIBCS Code of Ethics.
We treat our Cats and Kittens as members of our family
and enjoy every moment that we share with them.
The first step in our adoption process is our application. We prefer your first contact to be via email. If you do not wish to tell us about yourself and your household or fill out our application, then do not expect a response. After your application is approved, then we will wish to discuss your options and learn more about you via telephone and also with a personal meeting.
Once you are approved for ownership, you may then purchase our Kitten Care Course
and be added to the wait list. This purchase is necessary to be added to our wait list and is not refundable or returnable. When you do make a specific selection of a Kitten, you are then required to place a deposit to hold that specific Kitten, until they are 12 weeks of age and ready to go home with you.
At that time, the purchase price for your Kitten is due in full.
Both the Kitten Care Course fee and your selection deposit are deducted from your final purchase price.
We place our Kittens with great care with their New Owners.
All pet Kittens will be spayed/neutered at approximately six months of age by the New Owner's Veterinarian with all Vet expenses the financial responsibility of the New Owner. We feel that true show quality is rare and are extremely selective, when we designate a Kitten as Show Quaility.
The pricing below are guidelines and may vary, as each Kitten is evaluated and graded individually.
Pricing Guidelines for SBT Kittens are as follows:
SBT Pet $1600. to $2300.
True F4 SBT Pet $2500. to $3000.
Snow Leopard Pet $1900. to $2800.
Breeder Privileges $3500. to $5000.
Potential Show/Breeder $4500. to $6000.
To be placed on our wait list, a purchase of our Kitten Care Course is required. This purchase will give you all of the information that you will need for New Bengal Kitten Ownership and this fee will be deducted from your final purchase price of your Kitten. The purchase of the Kitten Care Course will be electronically transmitted to you via email, or mailed to you by US Postal Service, if necessary. Once received, the Kitten Care Course is not returnable or refundable, as you have read and copied the prioritary information. Breeders please contact us for more information regarding the purchase of a SBT Breeder/Show Kitten.
Once your application has been approved, for your convenience, you may use the PayPal button on our website for a secure transfer of your funds to make your purchase. If using PayPal, there is a transaction fee of $6.28 added to the $200., plus GRT (NM State Tax) is required to be added to the purchase fee.
You may also mail us a check for payment of your purchase and for your selection deposit.
Please contact us for the amount.

Prices do not include shipping fees, if a Kitten/Cat is transferred out of state. We only ship Kittens, if the New Owner, or their reprsentative, has visited our Cattery and seen their selected Kitten in person. Click HERE to review shipping information. Shipping fees may vary depending on destination, airline, and current fuel prices. Your purchase of our Kitten Care Course gives you a reservation on our wait list for the next available Kitten that is of your choice of sex and pelt markings or can be for a specific Kitten shown on our Available Kittens page.
Kitten Buyers are contacted to view Kittens for specific selection of an individual Kitten in order by the date of their purchase of our Kitten Care Course. A Kitten Buyer must respond within three days of the email selection notification to hold their place in the selection queue. A Kitten Buyer's place in the wait list queue is valid for up to, but not more than one year from the date of thier Kitten Care Couse purchase, unless other arrangements are agreed to by both parties. If an appropriate Kitten is offered to the Kitten Buyer, but the Kitten Buyer declines, then they may wait for the next available Kitten usually within the one year valid period.
