We let the kittens go to local homes at about 12 weeks of age. At this time,
they are eating well on their own, using the litterbox, and have had
vaccinations started. If air shipping is required, we like to wait until the
kitten is just a little older before letting him go. Our kittens are
guaranteed healthy on arrival. But we recommend that you have your new
kitten checked by your veterinarian within 72 hours after its arrival.
Additionally, we guarantee our kittens against congenital defects, that
might not be obvious at an early age, for 6 months.
When your kitten arrives, he will have a list of the vaccinations he has
received, and recommended future boosters. Also, he will have the proper
registration paperwork, depending on whether or not he was purchased for
breeding purposes. Any kitten purchased as a pet,will be altered before
leaving pendekar cattery.
 Pricing

|
Our kittens are individually evaluated, and priced accordingly. Those that
meet the Bengal standard best, have the best markings, pattern, coloration,
and conformation, are our best quality kittens and therefore our most
expensive. These are considered our "show quality" kittens and prices can
start at $2000 for these exceptional babies. Occasionally, we will sell show
quality kittens as special pets, at a reduced price, if the new owners agree
to alter the kitten.
Kittens purchased for breeding purposes must be good examples of the breed,
and have the potential to produce top quality offspring. These kittens may
fall short of being show quality by having a rib-stripe or two, or perhaps
the color or contrast is not as flashy as would be necessary for showing.
Breeder kittens will range from $800-1500, depending upon the color and
markings.
Good Bengals are not inexpensive---you generally get what you pay for. It is
true, you can sometimes find Bengal kittens priced very low, but in most
cases, these will not have the bright colors and vivid markings that you see
on Bengals pictured on websites or in magazines. There is a lot of expense
involved in raising quality kittens, more than most people realize.
Kittens go through many stages as they develop, so we are continually
re-evaluating them as they grow. With our years of experience, we can
generally tell at birth, what to expect from a kitten, and we price
accordingly. But they sometimes surprise us, by getting better than we
expected, or not as nice as we'd like. So we reserve the right to re-assess
them as they develop and price accordingly. Once someone has put a deposit
down on a kitten however, the price is locked in and will not increase. If
we find that kitten is not living up to our expectations, we will reduce the
price.

Shipping
If a kitten must be shipped to its new home, we make all the arrangements.
The buyer pays for any shipping expense.
We can safely ship kittens to any cities in Europe using Malaysia airlines
and if we need to ship kittens to USA, we can only ship to either Los
Angeles Airport or Newark Airport. After the 9/11 incidents, Malaysia
airlines refuse to do the inter connecting service thus purchaser in other
city in USA would have to come to either LAX airport or EWR airport to
pick up their kitten or get some one to re ship the kitten to the final
destination in USA.
