Rules For Breeding Exotic Cats Nebraska

By Raymond Roberts


When planning on adopting a large cat, it can often be difficult to know which breed is best for a pet. Those breeding exotic cats Nebraska often recommend a Bengal or Leopard kitten. For, while these felines will grow into large exotic cats, most make good pets.

Bengals are often popular because of tiger like size and appearance. While this is the case, there are many other reasons people desire to own this breed though most often it is because of their tender loving nature. At the same time, it is important to note that these cats need a great deal of space to roam, run and play.

With high energy personalities, it is important to realize that kittens and cats of this breed are going bounce around and knock things off shelves, etc. As such, it is recommended that individuals not leave anything of value in an area in which these kittens or cats will be playing on a regular basis.

Due to other factors, the breed is not as plentiful as others and can not generally be found at animal shelters or pet stores. One reason this is the case is that Bengal breeders are few and far between. As such, finding a reputable breeder can often be difficult. Other reasons locating an exotic cat can be difficult is due to local and State laws with regards to owning these and other exotic pets.

Breeders are often the most common way individuals acquire these rare felines. For, some areas have local and State laws related to owning exotic animals including these felines as pets. It should also be noted that there are two types of Bengals, an early generation or late generation. In most cases, early generation kittens maintain more of the wild inborn nature than do those of the late generation. As such, most breeders only provide late generation kittens to be raised as pets.

Bengals and other exotic felines often have specific markings. By knowing these markings, it can often be easier to assure one is acquiring an actual full bred feline. In most cases, Bengal and Leopard kittens will have a spotted or tiger like marking mixed in with luscious background fur of a white, beige, cream or bluish color.

In most cases, the background fur will have a golden hue, soft white or walnut background. Although harder to find, there are also some rare kittens which have a tinge of a blue or cream colored background. In either case, it is good to research the different colors and markings to determine the most desirable based on whether the cat will be kept inside or outside the home. For, in some cases these cats can be mistaken for cougars, thus putting those with similar coloring at danger in areas which are heavily populated with mountain lions, lynxes and other wildcats.

Lastly, as Nebraska breeders are under the guise of The International Cat Association, potential owners are not allowed to take delivery of the breed until kittens are 13 weeks of age. For, the association requires that the kitten be brought up to solid food, litter trained, de-wormed and vaccinated before owners can take delivery. In some cases, reputable breeders will also provide insurance for a specified period of time though this is not always the case.
