Below you will find the answers to our most commonly asked
questions regarding purchasing a kitten.
Please reach us at wildlegacybengals@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Our kittens are often sold before they are born, via our waiting list. The waiting list is honored on a first come - first serve basis. Those who place a deposit, do so with a specific color, pattern, and gender requested .Once the kittens are born, families make their choice from any available kitten, with their desired traits, at 4 weeks of age.
This allows for families to start watching their kitten develop and play from an early age. Any kittens not chosen by a family on the waiting list, then becomes available to others. Not all kittens may be available at 4 weeks. Some may be held back for breeder evaluation. Breeder evaluation's can be for ourselves, another breeder, or to be shown. These kittens may become available at a later date.
We do allow someone to switch from their chosen kitten to one that we held back if it becomes available. This is also done based off the order of our waiting list.
A deposit amount of $500 is applied to the total purchase price. A second deposit is due at the time of kitten selection or four weeks later after the first deposit. Kittens greater than 8 weeks of age, a deposit of one half of the purchase price is required. The remainder is when the kitten is transferred into the custody of the new family
Before I allow anyone to join our waiting list, we must first talk via phone about what we expect from our kitten families and what they can expect from us.
When you add a WildLegacy Bengal to your home, you join an exclusive group of families. We share, we laugh, and we support each other, through a private Facebook group just for our families. This keeps you connected to us at all times. When you have questions, someone in the WLB family is often able to help you before I can.
If you are interested in adding your family to the waiting list, please contact me via Facebook messenger, email at WildLegacyBengals@gmail.com, or via the Contact Form
* Kittens that are being delivered or picked up via plane do not include the above marked items due to the difficultly of transporting them with us.
All of our breeding cats undergo extensive health testing either with UC Davis, or Optimal Selections.
We scan for the following:
Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, Pyruvate kinase is an enzyme found within red blood cells which enables them to produce energy to survive. If this enzyme is lacking, the lifespan of the red blood cells is significantly reduced, resulting in chronic anemia. PK Def is detected by a saliva sample.

Bengal Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA-b), sadly causes blindness. Most that are affected are blind by the age of two. Thankfully we can test our breeding cats with a saliva sample.

Feline Leukemia, Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a disease that impairs the cat's immune system and causes certain types of cancer. This virus infection is responsible for a majority of deaths in household cats, affecting all breeds. We test all breeding cats before breeding and each kitten before going to their new family.

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, also referred to as FIV. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection is a complex retrovirus that causes immunodeficiency disease in domestic cats. We test all of our breeding cats before breeding.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, can only be detected by a cardiologist. We take all of our cats to a board certified cardiologist before being bred. HCM is a nearly always fatal heart disease, effecting cats at any age.

We do not ship kittens. Each kitten must be picked up in person or hand delivered by us. Delivery by us is best accomplished by the kitten's family paying for and booking travel for us. Families book the flight and the hotel if needed. We fly the kitten in cabin with us and hand deliver it to you at the airport. Some families will use airline miles or points for this. At this time, we also do not use courier services. All kitten transfers must be handled in person.
WIldLegacy Bengals is located in Northwest Florida in the city of Milton. Our cattery is located in our home and as such the address is private. We are not open to the public like a pet store or shelter. Visitation is limited to families that have placed a deposit or those that we have had conversations with and they would like to learn more about the breed. Visitation is limited to two adults only for approximately 30 minutes. Children are allowed on a limited basis, with prior consent.
I am a strong believer that all kittens are worth the same amount. I do not feel any one kitten is worth more than another because it has a different coat pattern or color. A Seal Lynx female kitten is not worth any more than a Brown Marble male kitten, each kitten took just as much time and energy to raise.
Unfortunately, there is no difference in show entry fees, hotel stays, travel time and expense, or health testing of the parents because of what it can or cannot produce color or pattern wise.
All kittens are $ 2100.00
WildLegacy Benagls has been breeding since 2013. We are a TICA and CFA registered cattery located in the Western Florida Panhandle.
