TICA registered since 2007
About Us
I am Dr Babus Ahmed and my husband and I started showing Bengals in 2006, and have shown over a dozen Bengals with GCCF and TICA. We are currently a TICA only registered hobby breeder. We disassociated with GCCF last year when they failed to uphold a complaint we made. We primarily breed brown and silver Bengals. Our working stud boys prefer their own space so have their own individual stud houses. Some of our girls also live in outdoor houses for part of the year. All pregnant queens live in the house and rear their kittens indoors with us. We do not breed anything other than full pedigree Bengal cats.
NONE OF OUR KITTENS ARE OUT IN PENS, in fact we do not let our cats go to outdoor pens until they are over a year old, and even then we only place them outside if we cannot keep them indoors due to spraying, or if the cat wants his or her own space.Both of us are professionals, I am a UK qualified medical doctor, I trained at St Mary’s Hospital Medical School at Imperial College, and I am a fully trained General Practitioner. I have worked in Leicester, London and Birmingham teaching hospitals and General Practices for 10 years. We put the welfare of our cats and kittens first and foremost and do not treat this hobby like a business. We take professional standards very seriously and run our breeding programme with strict ethics. Any money we charge for kittens goes right back into our breeding programme, we make no profit, and run at a loss which gets bigger every year. As this is a hobby and not a scheme to make money, we accept that any hobby would cost money. We fund new breeding cats and cat shows out of our own pocket, as well as veterinary charges. It is very important to us our kittens go to good homes where they are treated as part of the family.
We are always available for advise regarding any concerns for the kittens we have bred and enjoy updates and keeping in touch with our kitten owners.
About Bengals
The Bengal breed is a hybrid of the Asian Leopard Cat and a domestic feline. The breed was founded by Jean Mill in 1960s and 1970s, so the breed is a relatively new conception. Bengals have proven to be a very popular breed of cat and can be seen in huge numbers at cat shows around the world.
Popularity of the breed has come about not just due to the striking and beautiful
markings and colours of the Bengal but their playful and intelligent natures which
make them dog-
A Bengal enjoys to be with their family and human company is essential for a sociable Bengal. They like to be involved in whatever everyone else in the house is doing. They love interactive play and will often fetch. Some Bengals enjoy playing in water although almost all have a fascination with playing in the sink!
Bengals are available in brown, snow, silver and blue colours and are either marbled or spotted in pattern. The classification spotted includes rosetted Bengals and rosettes are not seen as a separate pattern, although most spotted Bengals being produced in a good breeding programme are rosetted.

These photos above were taken my our good friend Caterina Ziccardi of Puddywat Bengals at Marwell Zoo. This is a leopard and a lot of the features seen in this wild big cat are what we as breeders of Bengals would like to breed into our cats. Note the broad nose, small rounded ears, thick tail and stunning markings.
