Bengal buying questions
How much does a Bengal kitten cost in the UK?+

What should I check before buying a Bengal kitten?+
Kittens should be at least 8–12 weeks old, litter trained, wormed, and ideally vaccinated and microchipped. Ask to see the mother, and request GCCF or TICA registration papers where the kitten is sold as pedigree.
