Thank you for checking my FOUNDATION REFERENCE page :)

Dear Sandra,
 
     I can't thank you enough for my two healthy F2 girls, Moon and Malaysia. Moon was rehomed from Vegas to me in Phoenix and she rehomed so perfectly well. You did such an amazing job raising them!  I hadn't experienced filials prior, and had heard so much negative talk about their temperaments. Moon is going on 9 months and hasn't changed one bit from the gentle, affectionate, sweetheart she is.  And Malaysia is the same.  They are so responsive and intelligent.  They come running when I call them and have the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.  (More like a bird then a cat)
    And finally, they are gorgeous!  I LOVE type and striking markings, and they have of both.  With their huge eyes and beautifully marked, satiny pelted coats, I stare in awe at them endlessly, feeling so blessed they are with us.
    You are a truly caring breeder with an open and real personality.  Thank you for all your help and support, and I look forward to future kittens from you.  So glad I found you, Sandra.

  Sandra is very proud of all of her beautiful Cats and she should be.... and, I think, especially of her Foundation Cats!  I am very impressed with Sandra, in general, and of her extensive knowledge about Bengals and their care.  She has graciously helped me many times and she has become a good friend.  The F1 that I got from Sandra was her pick to keep, but she decided she just had too many and wanted this one (my girl) to go to a good Cattery.  In the past I had felt that Foundations were only for Breeders to strengthen their blood lines and not for pets at all, but Sandra changed my mind.  It is all in the way that you raise them and Sandra does it better than anyone!  She also taught me how to keep my girl socialized and how to raise my Foundations.  My girl Premiere Cru ("Prima") is the light of my life and of my ex-dog-lover husband's as well.  She is the most amazing creature and, happily, reminds me of when I used to help care for lion cubs, bob cats, and ocelots.  Prima is friendly to everyone:  Cat and human, a like... she looks like those wild critters that I used to care for, but, unlike them, she truly likes me!  She sleeps with us every night, loves to be pet, and loves to play.  It is true that you do have to give them more attention or they can be come aloof and not prefer humans.  F2's and F3's are have more of the domestic genes and are better as pets for the Kitten Buyer who wants a wild-looking Cat.  Someone who goes off to work all day, perhaps is not the best candidate for a F1 or F2 Foundation Cat.  But if someone can give the Foundation the attention that they need - they can be the absolute best companion pet ever!  

  Yes, I have other Cats (15 total right now) and Prima is the most social of all of them.  Having an F1 is more work as they do eat only raw, plus the vitamins for exotic felines and sometimes they can't help them selves and use their water bowl (or your commode) as their toilet, like their ALC father.  My girl, Prima, reliably uses the litter box and sometimes nibbles on Evo dry food.  I think that my F1 is perfect and I couldn't imagine life or the Cattery without her! 

  Check out my Foundation Cats page for photos of her.  She curls up right next to me, while I work on the computer and nestles in with her best friend, Pandora, and they wash each other.  Deciding to get my F1 is one of the best choices that I have ever made and I am hooked, just like Sandra said I would be!

I have had, and met, a few F1 cats over the years. My boy from Sandra is by far the least F1 in behavior than any I have met. Her intense socialization is extremely apparent. This boy will let anyone touch him, will play fetch with anyone, and always comes to greet visitors. We are “his” people though! Mario is not afraid of anything either.

I would not trade him for the world. And I would not go to any other breeder for an F1 cat. The intense time of socialization and bottle feeding is paramount. Sandra does not skip on any of that. I think that is the only reason my boy is still so friendly with strangers.

Mario has also destroyed our carpet from being shut in our bedroom alone on a few occasions. He completely ripped up the carpet by the door so that it exposed the nails underneath. He did this because he loves us, and hates to be separated. He has also eaten the frame of our door to the point it had to be replaced. Also because he was shut away from us and got upset. He hates when we shut a door between him and us. He NEEDS to be with us when he wants, which is most of the time. He is also higher energy than my other cats. Mario has also had obstruction surgery from a blockage from eating something. He goes through toys like no –ones business. More than my dogs. F1 cats like to eat and shred things. However, he will fetch like no other, and for hours at a time. Pick up his toy and he comes running.

Can he be a difficult cat to live with? Well yes. But being 50% wild, that is expected. We adore him. Despite things he does, Mario is the most intensely affectionate cat I have ever had. The head slams into our hands and face, the light chewing and sucking on our hands and nose, the wild biscuit making he does on us, makes everything worth while. Expect to make some changes to accommodate your F1. But also expect to be loved by an animal like you have never been loved before. Because that is an F1. And that is only an F1  that has been raised with the care and time that Sandra does.

These are just my feelings. I was 100% honest in this email about our experiences with him. I would never go back again. Home repairs or not :-) He does not do much of that stuff anymore. Except the door frames still experience his very strong jaws on the rare occasion we have to put him up in the laundry room.


 

 

F2) UniquePrints Moonshine of Kajari - This OUTSTANDING early generation Bengal has the most amazing silky soft pelt we have ever felt. From the minute she came into our house she has been the sweetest and most loving Bengal we have ever experienced. From her highly defined oscelli, beautiful rosettes, thick tail and outstanding head to her silky soft pelt she has everything we could ever ask for. We are so excited to have "Moonshine" in our home and are so grateful to Sandra for allowing her to come to our home. We cannot wait to see the kittens she produces in the future.

Dear Sandra, 
I wanted to take a minute to share my appreciation with you. Throughout the process of looking for a new Bengal baby, answering endless questions, and outstanding communications - I would have to say you are one of the best breeders I've come to know.
 
You have done a wonderful job in keeping me informed of Milo's progress while I anxiously awaited to welcome him to his new home. The tons of photos and videos you've sent me in the meantime I cannot thank you enough for. These little ones can be a handful but yet you've always found the time to answer my concerns in a very timely manner.
 
When Milo arrived home he was very friendly and affectionate - I believe this was do to the love, care, and attention you gave him.
 
Thank you for bringing Milo into our lives, we love him very much. He has adjusted well and is just a very happy baby.
 
Maria

 

 

I just wanted to post an open thank you to Sandra of www.uniqueprintscattery.com
for our new F3 boy.  He arrived Sunday night and I don't think life will ever be the same:)  We are already totally in love with him.  He is gorgeous but also so really loving.  He adjusted to his new litter box immediately ( I know this can be a problem with F cats) and he and my 1 year old, Duma, are already fast friends and are playing until they both fall asleep. 
 
I can tell Sandra did a great job with this little guy - both in breeding and in socialization.
 
THANKS SANDRA!

Greetings Sandra,
 
Let me start by saying the newest member of my family is a bundle of F2 NO-FEAR, from the time he arrived he has learned how to fly, jump and climb, I was thinking of entering him into an Olympic event!!!!  He is very talkative and affectionate with a sincere love for jumping teasing and chasing the two older cats.  Also let me add he loves to sneak up stealth-like when I am sleeping and MEOW loud jumping from the bed into a double summersault.
 
I very much appreciate the personalized time you spent working with me through the process and extremely pleased with the frequent updates and photos you provided before he came home with me.  Thank you so very much for being a reputable and responsible breeder.
 
Yours Truly,
Joseph L. Jackson

Gorgeous F2 Bengal boy at home with Joseph and exploring his yard!

He is soooooooo confident!!!

Did you know F2's could fly?
