We are honoring the work of Jaen Treesinger of Rainforest Bengals at the closing of her cattery. We came to know Jaen very early on in our breeding journey. I was enamored by how she captured the wild essence of the bengal breed like no other breeder could. Her cats were in my eyes, absolutely impeccable for which I was in complete awe. Looking back at the pedigrees I studied, all paths circled back to Rainforest Bengals. The influence Jaen had on the Bengal breed has been palpable with numerous breeders across the globe sending tributes recognizing sincere gratitude for her work with the modern bengal reflecting on Jaen's signature "wild type" noting it to be present on the pedigrees of their most "typiest" cats
January 2025 brings about dismal stormy weather on the central Washington Coast but it doesn't dampen the circle of life at Stratokatzter Bengals where we are celebrating the prospect of parenthood for our Stratokatzter studs and their queens at our cattery. Late January 2025 we hope to debut the first snow (lynxpoint) Bengals born at our cattery as we are excited to announce our newest arrival Search is pregnant with babes from Stoli.
So many of our followers have reached out to us in sincere concern re: the recent H5N1 flu outbreak linked to commercial raw food produced in Oregon as well as the recent outbreak at the nearby Feline Advocacy Center on Hartstine Island in Shelton, WA . Tragically a house pet succumbed to the virus in the Portland area when it was believed to ingested commercially prepared contaminated frozen raw turkey from a well know, reputable manufacturer in Oregon. Closer to home at the Feline Advocacy Center in Shelton, WA 20 wild cats at a sanctuary became ill and passed of H5N1. It is unclear whether their tragic demise was food born or a natural exposure.
Stratokatzter Bengals is thrilled to announce our WW Kangchenjunga Diamonds and Rust is officially a LCWW World Winner for the 2023-2024 show year.

I get several inquiries every month from people identifying as breeders asking the question, "Do you sell breeding cats?" We welcome breeder inquiries with a "Preservation Breeder" mindset for general inquiries regarding our kittens. Preservation Breeders work to preserve the essence of the Bengal; from the wild look, to the breed standard, preserving the history of the breed without sacrificing the health of the Bengal.
So often we are contacted by people who suffer cat allergies in hopes of obtaining hypoallergenic or low allergenic cat for their household. It is estimated that cat allergies are second only to dust mites in causes of common household airborne allergies causing respiratory distress. While bengals seem to fall on the list of low allergenic cats, it is studied and believed they have less of the Fel d 1 protein which is linked to cat allergies in humans.
This new and improved version seems to be a bit more intuitive than past versions and will allow a more seamless end user experience so they say. My favorite feature is the breeder listing where we had a wonderful opportunity to showcase our cattery and cats at Stratokatzterbengals.com.
