Rules For Breeding Exotic Cats Nebraska

By Raymond Roberts


When considering purchasing or adopting a cat, it is often good to research a variety of breeds. For, like dogs, different breeds have traits that are specific to the line. If planning on adopting a large breed cat, those breeding exotic cats Nebraska can often provide a great deal of information on Bengals and Leopard cats.

These breeds are popular often due to the beauty, large size and leopard or tiger like beauty. Whereas, others like the exotic nature, energy and tender loving nature. When a potential owner combines all of these elements, it can be clear to see how these cats also need a lot of space in which to play, run and roam free.

If the high energy level, intelligence and independent nature are acceptable, then these exotic pets are often a good choice. It should be noted that unlike typical house cats, Bengals love to play and swim in water. As such, if there is a pond or family pool, it is likely the cat will be found sloshing around from time to time.

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.

In Nebraska, those acquiring a Bengal or Leopard kitten from a breeder must wait until the kitten is thirteen weeks of age before taking delivery. While not a state law, it is a condition set by the International Cat Association. The regulation is provided so that the kitten can be litter trained, raised to a solid food diet, de-wormed and vaccinated before delivery. After which, generally the breeder and new owner are generally happier than if this were not the case.
