⭐️ June Cattery Update!! ⭐️ It’s been a long winter and our first 2 spring litters didn’t go as planned (again) 😭 Our Queen Vienna had 2 adorable little babies & Queen Carmella had ZERO. She was huge, ni***es pinked up/ dropped and no babies came. Another psudeopregnancy where the queen mates and her body acts as if she’s pregnant but she isn’t. After further testing; we found out that our beloved stud Armani has low s***m count and abnormal motility (movement)
& that is the cause of our queens not being able to get pregnant after several mates. And the 2litters we’ve had (Honey & Viennas) both being TINY litters were from Armanis low s***m count. Every queen we have is a proven queen from another cattery that’s had healthy litters of 4+ babies. And then we have a 2yr old first time queen. All our cats are health tested and so the common denominator was Armani; and we finally figured it out.
Now for the good news!! We have purchased a new stud name Jabari! He’s a healthy big boy and we are sooo excited for many spring/summer litters. Jabari’s last two litters were 7 kittens each! He’s gentle and takes good care of his ladies! So far he’s been with 1 queen and we have 5 more queens ready for summer litters. And then 2 planned Fall litters! We have 3 queens in heat right now and expect successful pregnancies from them all.
For those that have been on our reservation list, thank you for your grace and patience! We have NEVER had any issues in the past with our last stud. All pregnancies and litters went as planned with no hiccups. This has been such an eye opening stressful situation! As stated on our website, we do our absolute best to time out and plan litters, but no perfect date is guaranteed. As you can see- things don’t always go as planned and the unforeseeable happens. Such is life, just like with human pregnancies and infertility. All deposits are non-refundable but in the event that things don’t turn around with our new stud and we still have zero successful pregnancies and kittens by August 31st… then we will work down the list to contact each person to discuss refunding deposits.
Thank you again for riding out this rough season with us! Our hearts are filled with hope that in the next month we will have confirmed pregnancies and healthy beautiful Bengal babies on the way! We will do weekly updates to keep you all posted!
Pray with us 🙏 Here’s some fun Royal Glitter Bengal throwbacks 😻
