Bengal kittens from Jungle Kitten

Moving is always stressful for a kitten. All cats get used to their place of residence very quickly. Also, a small kitten is just a small baby. He was in a familiar environment, with his mother, and siblings, and now he is in a new place, with new smells, new people and possibly new pets. He may meow, hide under furniture, refuse food, etc. Try to help him ajust. Play with him, pet him, show him that it's safe around. The adjustment is considered complete when the kitten begins to eat, use the litter box and explore the area around him. This process can take up to 2 weeks, but in our experience it is 3-4 days, after which the kitten adapts to the new home.

We recommend hiding any small parts that the kitten could theoretically try to eat. Lego parts, small toys, threads, etc. Also, most toys sold in pet stores still require supervision when the cat is playing with them.

The very first thing you need to do in a new home is show the cat its litterbox. Then, continue showing it until the kitten starts using it. Also, for the first few days, it is recommended to limit its space to one room. The room should have a litter box, food, and a cat tree.

It is recommended to introduce them gradually. In any case, it is stressful for both animals. The introduction may take a week or two. You need to introduce their smell, then under supervision, gradually let them get used to each other.

We prefer to use raw food. Over the years, we have tried all the dry and wet premium brands and settled on the raw diet. All our cats are very energetic and do not have excess weight. Their shiny fur and good claws and teeth are an indicator of excellent health.

We use litter boxes with a removable lid that you can find at any Canadian Tire. We fill it with wood pellets. This allows us to avoid unpleasant odors and dust. In addition, caring for such a litter box is very simple and does not take much time.

All our kittens grow up with cat trees and understand how to use them. Of course, in a new home it will take some time to accustom the kitten to such a tree in a new place. In addition, every 2 weeks we trim their claws. They are used to this since childhood and it should not invoke fear in them in the future.

The SBT Bengals we raise are domestic cats. Like any cat, they need respectful handling, a safe space and room to step away when they do not want to be held. Get to know the individual kitten rather than expecting identical behaviour from the whole breed.

Yes, absolutely. Many of our clients not only walk their Bengals outside, but also travel together. Two mandatory rules: a rabies vaccination once a year, and walking only on a leash.
