We are very proud to be part of the Bengal cat rescue and welfare society, I have just been appointed Welfare Coordinator for the South of England, We aim to help Bengal rescue in anyway we possibly can and anyone interested in re homing a Bengal should please visit the Society website. There are so many beautiful Bengal cats in need of super loving homes with family’s who will love an adore them, opps shouldn’t I say love and slave over them, so before thinking about homing a kitten please visit the society website and see what available adults we have.

Our biggest aim is to produce well-socialised, affectionate, striking, yet wild-looking Bengal kittens. We pride ourselves in the admiration, affection, and passion we feel for this spectacular breed. We purposely select our queens and studs for type first, and then colour and pattern. We aim to adhere to the Bengal standard of points as closely as possible. We prepare our kittens for the everyday hustle and bustle of any household environment and are very proud to say our kittens are “bomb-proof”.

All of our Girls live with us in our home and are loved and cherished as part of our family. Our boys live outside in our purpose built stud pens, these pens are fully heated spacious, and they have all the comforts they could wish for and most nights they get to cuddle with their “Girlfriend” along with having their own personal run we also have a huge play area with a large water fall, climbing platforms walkways, and scratching systems, pictures of their playground and house’s can be found on the Studs page.

When we have kittens, we spend time with mum to make sure everything is ok. All of our girls love to be around people and have their babies in the comfort of our bedroom. Although we also have a hand made kittening pen that Mick made for us, the girls love it in there, they get to chill out with their babies and watch TV with us in the lounge too. We also have the “Nursery” it was our dining room but now it has been taken over with scratching posts and soft beds this is the place the kittens come when they start to find their feet and want to explore, although I would love for them to run around the house I wait until they have had their first vaccination, and then the fun can begin, also leaving it until they are 9 weeks ensures they are fully litter trained.

We spend loads of quality time with our babies to get them used to human contact and give them the usual cuddles, kisses, and time to play games. They will also be exposed to children, the very scary Hoover, the TV we also like to have the music on specially when I am doing the housework so they even get used to a bit of Bon Jovi on a Saturday morning :o)

All of our kittens are treated as if they are our own. We give each and every one the same amount of love and affection to ensure you get a happy, loveable, well-socialised kitten that you will enjoy, love and that will, of course, love you back.

As well as being hobby breeder of the Bengal cat we are also members of the Bengal Cat Club and the Blue Bengal Group, Diamonddustuk is a registered prefix with TICA (The International Cat Association). Upon request our breeding kittens can also be dually registered with the GCCF (Governing Council of the Cat Fancy). We actively show with TICA and we are hoping to attend some GCCF shows later in 2009.

If you would like to come and meet us or our cats, please do contact us. We often have kittens available throughout the year and we do not always have the time to update our website, so please do enquire with us. We may have kittens available on the ACTIVE register for selective breeding programmes. Most of our kittens are sold as pets to pet homes on the NON-ACTIVE register to be neutered. If you would like to speak to us about having a Diamond Dust baby in your breeding programme then please contact us but be prepared for lots of questions :o). We are available by telephone or email anytime and we will endeavour to reply to all emails within 48 hour. However if you do not hear back from us within this time frame then please do call us.

Many thanks for visiting and we look forward to hearing from you soon

Below are some pictures of our home and our cattery

Firstly we would like to welcome you all to our new website.

Diamonddustuk Bengals is owned and run by myself, my husband Mick and our 2 fantastic children Amelia and Connor . We are located in Southsea, Hampshire.

Our love for cats started at an early age, as we were both raised around cats and dogs. It was not until late 1998, that I first came across the majestic Bengal breed. I of course was immediately smitten by this breathtakingly stunning breed of cat. After meeting Mick, we decided to take the plunge and buy our first Bengal. Mia (Glitterglam Safa Malak) came to us in February of 2007, but little did we know that along with her we would be gaining three beautiful Bengal kittens that arrived safe and sound in April 2007. Since that point, we have worked hard to create the perfect breeding programme. I have met a few breeders along the way but none of them as wonderful and as kind and generous as my friend Anne De Berry, Anne is the founder of The Bengal cat rescue and welfare society and she has opened her home and her heart to so many animals over the past 10+ years, Anne is also the welfare officer for The Bengal Cat Club. I’d like to say a big thank you to her for being a wonderful friend in this world of Bengal madness

The play room that our kittens learn to litter train, walk run and play in :o)

The lounge is the heart of our home and its the place the kittens spend most of their time after
9 weeks of age, here they socialise with our other cats and enjoy lots of visits from friends and family!

The outside cattery we used up our entire garden to create spacious chalets and run’s for our
3 handsome boys. We also added a secure run just a few weeks ago to enable the girls and
vaccinated kittens to go outside and enjoy the fresh air on warmer days!
