Jungle Kitten · Ottawa, Canada
Our family, our Bengals, your next companion
We are Anna, Yuri and our daughter Dariia. Our Bengals share our home and our everyday life. All three of us care for the cats and kittens; Yuri also arranges their journey to their new families.
It began with a cat named Java
More than ten years ago, we were visiting friends in Montréal when we met Java. She was a Bengal, and she was magnificent. We fell in love with the breed at first sight. What began with one unforgettable cat became a home filled with Bengals — and a life built around them.
A real home, with two big dogs
Our kittens grow up around people, other cats and our two large dogs. They hear the sounds of a busy home and have daily contact with our family. Watching a kitten discover a new toy, follow us from room to room or find a favourite sleeping spot tells us much more than a photograph can.
That early experience helps us understand each kitten’s personality. Every kitten is different, and introductions to a new home or another pet still need time and patience.
What we look for in our breeding cats
A beautiful coat catches your eye. Living with the cat is what makes you fall in love. We choose our breeding cats for their temperament, body structure and pattern — and for the connection we feel with that particular cat.
Manhattan’s darker coat and broad, masculine nose give him a striking presence. At home, he is our constant shadow. Tokyo combines a remarkably high-contrast coat with the same devotion to her people. They remind us every day that a Bengal’s character matters just as much as its appearance.
The relationship continues after your kitten comes home
Many families return for a second kitten, and others introduce us to their friends and relatives. We still keep in touch with families who welcomed our first kittens more than ten years ago. Sometimes it is a question about settling in; sometimes it is a photograph that makes us laugh.
Our graduates have travelled around the world, explored parks and gone camping with their families. Some also take part in support programs or provide companionship to people with disabilities, including autistic people.
When owners tell us that their home feels warmer, livelier and full of love, it brings us back to why we started.
Support for your Bengal’s whole life
We stay available throughout your cat’s life for questions about settling in, food, everyday care and behaviour. You do not have to work everything out alone. For medical concerns, your veterinarian remains the right person to assess and treat your cat.
From Ottawa to your family
Our home region is Ottawa–Gatineau. We also work with families in Montréal, Laval, Toronto and further afield. Yuri can discuss a delivery to your home or an agreed meeting point, with the route and arrangements confirmed together.
