Why Choose Notahill Bengals?

We do not breed for quantity; we breed for quality. A quality kitten is one who is healthy, sociable, exhibits traits and qualities which are true to the breed standard and is ultimately a happy cat! That's what any new kitten family should be searching for. When you purchase a Notahill Bengals kitten you are invited to become a part of our cat-family, whether your kitten is showing with TICA or happy just being your family pet, we are proud to share your kittens journey and progress on our website and social media platforms.

Can I visit Notahill Bengals to view kittens before I purchase one?

It is a big responsibility ensuring our cattery stays healthy, especially when we have young kittens. Until kittens have received all of their vaccines, they naturally have a lower resilience to viruses, infections, and parasites. This is why we do not allow in-person visits to our cattery. We are more than happy to do video calls, send videos and pictures of the kittens to anyone thinking of buying a kitten.

What care and attention does my kitten receive from the time of birth until I take him/her home?

The care for your kitten starts before it is even born! Our breeding mommas are fed the best food, administered the correct vaccines at the right time, treated for parasites on the correct regime, monitored all the way through their pregnancy and given lots of love and attention.

Then, from the moment your kitten is born it becomes the focus of our day, every day. We do daily weigh-ins until the kittens are 7 days old and if they are gaining weight at the right rate we continue to record their weights every 7 days. This means we can check they are getting the right amount of food daily and to ensure they are getting their fair share of mommas milk! Our kittens are raised in our home receiving daily interactions and playtime.

What age do the kittens leave for their new home?

Kittens are able to leave us from 12-13 weeks old. By this time they are sociable, 100% litter trained, eating very well and strong and healthy. They have also had their vaccines. We neuter / spay every kitten before they leave the cattery. At 12 weeks we have found recovery is a breeze, and families don’t have to worry about a precocious heat, or a randy teenage boy trying to mark!

What health guarantees does my kitten come with?

As detailed in our contracts, all kittens come home with a 2-year health guarantee against HCM and congenital defects. Our kittens leave with the first of their FVRCP vaccines completed and have been on an appropriate deworming program.

Is my kitten registered with a breed association?

All our kittens are eligible to be registered with TICA -The International Cat Association and with some of our kittens also the CFA -Cat Fanciers Association. Your kitten will come home with a “Breeder Slip” with their litter registration number. This is not your kittens registration, but where we notified TICA of the birth and rights to register kittens from the litter. The Breed Slip allows you to register your kitten directly under your name and with the name of your choosing. If I had to choose names, they’d all be named after snacks!

What is a waitlist and does it cost me any money to join it?

Joining our waitlist requires a 10% deposit Our waitlist is a way for customers / clients / families to secure their spot in line to choose a kitten when they become available. Our kittens are much sought-after so we advise clients to join our waitlist to avoid disappointment. This secures your place in line to choose your kitten when the time comes.

How much does it cost to buy a Notahill Bengals kitten?

From 2026 our kittens will start at $2500 for brown and $3000 for snows or charcoals. Within that cost kittens have received their first vaccines, been spayed or neutered, microchipped, received correctly scheduled deworming treatment and are litter trained and sociable.

When do I have to pay and what method of payment do you take?

To join our waitlist, please pay a 10% deposit. At 8-9 weeks of age, it is time to select your kitten! At that time an installment of up to 50% of the purchase price is due. Please due this within 24 hours of choosing so that we may offer the remaining kittens to their families in a timely manner. The remainder of the balance is due for payment at the time of collecting your kitten. We take payment in many different options. Venmo, Zelle, Cash, Check (to be received at least 7 days prior to collection).

Are 'payment plan' options available?

We offer a weekly/monthly payment plan option for new owners to make payments before their kitten is available to take home. This is offered at no extra charge. Payments are nonrefundable if you were to change your mind on purchasing a kitten. The total cost of your kitten must be paid by the time your kitten is ready to come home. Kittens will not be released until the total cost is paid. If the kitten is ready for its new home but the total payment has not yet been met, there will be a $50/week fee for boarding fees for your kitten, until collection. To keep everything in order, we provide a separate contract for payment plans, which is available upon request.

What should I expect after I join the waitlist and how do I choose my kitten?

After kittens are born, you’ll see notifications of everything! We get SO excited! Between 8-9 weeks of age, the kittens will be ready for the choosing process. We contact the clients on our waitlist in order of priority with pictures and details of our available kittens. We do this by email but always give a text message 'heads-up!!' We ask for a quick response due to the number of people waiting to choose. You are welcome to pass and wait for the next litter if you do not see a kitten you want. Please let us know immediately if your situation has changed and you do not wish to purchase a kitten from us anymore so as we can move on to the next people waiting. If we have tried multiple times to contact you and have had no response, we will move on to the next person in line.
