Price Reflects Quality

Please be aware, our kittens are priced to reflect their quality, our imported lines and the investment of care and time we give to them and to you.

Kittens are posted with their photos on

Due to the requirements/FB bans of postings on Facebook you will not find photos posted on our Facebook page of kitten updates/who's available.  Instead all kitten photos, updates and assignment details are posted on Instagram. 

If you see "Yet to be assigned" or "AVAILABLE" the kitten is FOR SALE and you may contact us for pricing and further details on 0401 383 969, by email or FB messenger or Insta messenger.  Text or phone call is preferred.

Kittens are priced within their price range as seen below.

There is preference in the placement of our pick of litter show quality kittens into homes that intend to show and promote their cat but it is not required.

Because we have been breeding Bengals for show since 2009, the majority of our kittens are "Show Quality" as this is our planned effort, so it is more likely that your kitten will fit into this category. 

If you've seen a stunning show or breeder quality kitten "Under Evaluation" that's listed and just want the best of the best lounging in your home for your enjoyment please inquire to the possibility of the kitten's availability to be altered (desexed) for you.

Adelhills Bengal Kitten Price Ranges

Australian residents please add GST

Desexed Snow, Brown & Silver Kittens (Rosette Spotted & Marble & Charcoal patterns)
$2500+gst  Please note we have specialized in the best quality bengals as possible and breed for Show & Breeding quality kittens and have been breeding towards this goal for over a decade now. We do not specialize in Silvers which means we only have a couple babies usually arrive in silver colouring each year.  The waiting period for silvers from us is usually 3-4 times longer than snows and browns for this reason.

Desexed Rare colours; Blue & Blue Snow Kittens (Rosette Spotted & Marble & Charcoal patterns)
$3000+gst  Please note we breed for Show & Breeding quality kittens and have been breeding towards this goal for over a decade now. We have just recently started breeding for blue now that it is a recognized colour with the ACF here in Australia.  So while we do plan on having blue kittens in the near future, they are rare and not common.

Desexed Rare Cashmere (Longhair); any colour (Rosette, Spotted, Marble & Charcoal patterns)
$5000+gst  While we have a couple breeding pairs that can produce cashmere kittens it is only a 25% chance of having any cashmere kittens arrive in these pairings due to the recessive Longhair genes required, they are rare and not common.

FCH – Family Care Home Program (for SA families only)
$300+gst Please read below about our Cattery program for female kittens to local area families.

Entire Show Breeding Quality (ALL patterns)
$5000+gst (N/K) - $6000+gst (N/N) - $7500 +gst Cashmere (Long Hair Bengal). Please note we have been breeding bengal cats over a decade now and our lines are several generations of our efforts and work. This means we usually have a very good idea of what a kitten will look like when it matures.  This benefits you as you are able to specify necessary traits you need and we, on the most part, will be able to confirm if the kitten you're interested in will mature with these traits. Further all breeding kittens sold come with access to our mentoring and assistance. There is an application for breeding (entire) kittens, which includes requirements of being a registered breeder with ACF, CCCA, CFA, TICA or FIFE affiliated cat councils, a registered prefix and further questions will be asked. I prefer phone interviews for sales of breeding kittens so please feel free to ring me +61 401 383 969.

Home Raised

Our Bengal kittens are raised in our home with our four children, our dog and their Mothers. The temperaments of our breeding stock along with our constant handling and socialization, done by both adults and children, helps ensure that our babies come to you prepared as much as possible to enter your life and homes. When getting an Adelhills baby you can be assured of the quality in temperament, health and looks for your Bengal Cat.

In the Litter Box

Kittens from Adelhills Bengals are started training form a young age, approx 3-4wks, how to properly use the litter tray. We limit their access when they are very young so that the litter tray is only a quick trip for them so they never learn "not to use it". Once they are a bit older we give them free access to our kitten lounge. This is a normal lounge size space, where they can fun playing, learn to use the climbing tree, but are still within a close dash to the litter tray. Remember 90% of all training in animals is avoiding them learning bad behavior, so we strive to give them good litter habits right from the start. Remember when a kitten comes to you they are still a little baby! Add that to the fact that your home is a new location, their litter is in a new location, so you want to set them up for success by limiting their space those first few weeks so they only continue learning in their new environment good litter habits. Our kittens come with lifetime breeder support so if you have a question or a concern we are always only a phone call away.

Early Desensitization Training

We spend a lot of time handling our kittens and exposing them to household sounds and expectations so that they come to you as much as possible ready to fit into your household environment. We make sure your kittens are use to having their feet and claws handled so that future trimming is an easy task. we handle them all over from nose to tail, not forgetting to get them use to having their mouth opened and fingers in their ears and their tails handled. We use clipnosis, a veterinary used and recommended technique when handling and training our kittens. Just like a horse trainer rubbing a horses wither to calm them so does clipnosis work to relax kittens. Just like their mothers who use the same technique when the kittens are little carry them we utilize this natural technique to train our kittens to give in to training techniques and to relax into them. Raising kittens in the house isn't enough, bengal kittens require a lot of hands on handling, play affection, training and love. The more the hands on the kittens the better and with four kids in our household it means our kittens are very well socialized.

Bengals with Show and Breeding Quality

If you are interested in an altered (desexed) show Bengal kitten we would be more than pleased to assist you. We love to see our babies out there showing and seeing their owner's enjoyment of their success.

We only sell entire show and breeding kittens to registered breeders who we feel strive for the highest Cattery standards and ethics. If you are a Bengal breeder and are interested in working with us and our lines we look forward to hearing from you. We do not tend to advertise when we have breeding quality kittens, as that is not a focus for our cattery. However, if you are a quality breeder and you are interested in a kitten or mature breeding cat from us please feel free to inquire. Our entire kittens/cats ALWAYS come with a breeding limitation contract if you are located within Australia, for a sample copy of our contract and expectations please email us a request.

Interstate and International

If you are not a resident of South Australia and are unable to come to us to collect your kitten, we can fly your kitten to you. Adelhills will ensure that your kitten safely arrives to you with all necessary documentation. For interstate families we will organize all the transport for you, You will receive your transport confrontation directly from the transport company and pay them for any transport. We organize all transports as part of our customer care but we do not collect funds for transport. Kittens will always be transported in a new pp20 crate that you will be able to keep and use for the lifetime of your cat for any vet visits or future travel or transport. Your transport fees will include the purchase of your kittens crate. Are you international? Don't worry we are also able to organize flights for most international destinations depending on the quarantine restrictions and regulations of your country.

Continuing to Breed Top Quality Bengals

To ensure the continuing quality lines of our breeding program, Adelhills reserves the right to retain any Bengal kitten necessary for the development of the Bengal breed.

This assures that Adelhills is able to maintain a high level of quality and direction for our future program and the careful continued development of the Bengal cat breed. Adelhills reserves the right to refuse a sale or application at their discretion.

Cattery Program

We strongly believe that if we are to produce the very best temperament Bengals then our breeding cats need to show themselves to be family pets before we breed with them. For this reason as much as possible our breeding queens live with families as their pets under our Family Care Program (FCH).

This means our baby girls from the time they’re 3 months old and allowed to leave will go live with a family as their forever pet, and when they at approximately 12 months of age they come back for a “visit” with the boys. Then a week before they are due the pregnant girls return here to nest and settle in for birthing. I do all the midwifing and birthing of the babies. Once the kittens are weaned the queens go back home to their families!  Usually after lots of photos and videos and cuddles of "their" girl's babies as our FCH families are allowed kitten play time from 8 weeks of age.

Because we are the "first" home for our girls when they travel between our home and their family care home it is relatively stress free as they know both households and the people.  However, this is after many years of doing the program and selectively breeding mentally stable cats who can handle these changes.  Many breeders don't give their cats room to show how they deal with stress and change and so are unaware of their lines mental stability or lack thereof.  I have found over the years that cats with anxiety and who don't handle change are likely to pass that in some degree as it's hereditary and so in my opinion they should not be bred from. The FCH program gives me another check and balance to make sure we are breeding with mentally sound cats so that we produce sound healthy mentally stable kittens. 

We are most interested in the perpetuation, protection and development of the Bengal breed, and so we limit the number of litters (up to 4) from our (FCH) queens so they can be desexed while still young and continue their happy lives in their forever home.  I have found that within this time frame I am able to asses and move forward in generations to better the breed and protect the bengal future with quality healthy lines.

Because of the loving environments of the FCH this allows us to focus on the cats living with us and raising the babies. It also allows for a diverse breeding program and varied genetics.  We have a large genetically diverse breeding program to ensure best practices for genetic and hereditary health for our cattery and the kittens we produce.

If you are interested in being in the Family Care Program the participation cost is $300+gst and it is available to local Adelaide area families (must be within 1.5hr drive of our location).

FCH Program requires a phone interview 0401 383 969, FCH application, along with further info and review of our sample FCH agreement so that you know exactly what our expectations are melinda@bengalcatbreeder.com.au

If you have other pets, that's ok so do a lot of our FCH families, we will review our policies and requirements with you.
