We are a small, in-house cattery located in Southwest Michigan, near the Indiana State line, only 9 miles from the campus of Notre Dame. We have been breeding and showing our brown and silver spotted Bengal cats for 3 years and want to share the knowledge and enjoyment of this unique breed. We have 2 to 3 litters a year and the kittens are hand-raised with gentle dispositions. Bengals are active, athletic, and very intelligent. They love to fetch and are attracted to water.

I can't say enough about our 2 new Baby Bengals! And that's just what we call them. Oh wait! Let me re-phrase that: Our CRAZY Baby Bengals! They are so much fun and there is never a dull moment. They are into everything and we expect nothing less! They are a joy to have in our home and keep us in stitches. They greet me at noon when I come home for lunch and they greet both of us when we come home from work. We pick each one of them up individually and say hello to them and hug and kiss them until they can't take anymore and want down! We LOVE our babies and they will ALWAYS be "CRAZY" Baby Bengals!
I could go on and on, but I tried to keep it short. I am a proud Bengal Mama! Can you tell? And Papa Bengal is just as proud. We take them outside on harnesses and leashes. People stop and love to talk about them and pet them. Even the friends we have that aren't particularly cat lovers like Zoe and Dezi.

We are so very proud of our son, Jason Kravetz, a member of the Indiana National Guard, shown here on a C-130 on his way to Iraq.
