About us

We are Sabine and Marcus and we lead with lots of love and responsibility the cattery of the “Leopardcats Bengals” (previous name: "Of Wildsafari"). We live in Aachen, a city which is located near cologne. We´ve always been thrilled by several animals and since I was a child, the big wild cats, if only on TV or in a zoo have fascinated me.

Marcus has had cats as child and our first common cat was our beautiful Housecat “Rocky”, who also live with us.

Since I saw some Bengals live at a cat show, their wild and exotic look and their lovely character filled me with enthusiasm. Since the first day I saw them, it was certain for me, that I want also such an adorable cat. I set at my PC and tried to find out all about Bengals that was possible.

It wasn´t easy, because here in Germany are only few breeders and no book about Bengals in german. So I bought 2 books from the USA, spend my free time in the internet and visited some breeders. After long and abundant informations I decided to import our stunning “DK* TROLLSPOTTING RAVENNA” from Denmark. Till today, we don´t want to miss any day with her and are very happy to have her. Bengals are indeed a special one of all breeds. Since September 2003 our Ravenna lives with us. She is a very nice and typey girl and a very caring mother to her kittens. She has had some very beautiful kittens with our boy Xtreme. You can have a look at her kittens in our Gallery. Ravenna has earned the title Grand European Champion on the 16th October 2004. (Meanwhile Ravenna is spayed and enjoys the pampered pet life here with us :o) )

On 2^nd August 2004 we have brought our new Bengal boy home “US* MAINSTREET´S XTREME” from Debbie Corns & Rick Corns (USA – California). Xtreme is absolutely breathtaking and a real stunner!!! He has sired some very amazing kittens for us. We love Xtreme very much, because he not only looks very beautiful – he has an absolutely fabulous purrsonality! Xtreme does inherit very much of his lovely attributes to his kittens. He has earned the title Worl Champion on the 4th July 2006 :o) ! ! !

On 13th February 2006 Ravenna and Xtreme has given us 4 very beautiful kittens. We have kept one very promising young girl for our future breeding program - "LEOPARDCATS LUCKY STRIKE" - which does enrich our breeding program. She has earned the title Champion on 14th January 2007 . Lucky Strike is our only marbled Bengal and she´s already a proven mother, and from her we have kept our newest Jewel from the litter of 6th February 2008 - "LEOPARDCATS EXOTIC DREAM" / aka "Dreamy" - she´s an absolutely dream to have as from her look as well as from her character - we are very proud to have bred such a beautiful girl our own and we´re excited to see how she will develope.

Althoug we don´t have many cats, we want to contribute our efforts in continuing to develop this astonishing breed.

We breed Bengals in the traditional brown color, in spotted, rosetted and sometimes in marbled. Our cats are full family members and can run to our whole flat – also Xtreme. We want to expressly distance ourselves from cage-holding cats!!!!!!!!!!!!

It´s important for us to use queens and studs, which are healthy and fits the standard best. Also important for us is the lovely and affectionate character of our cats, which they will transmit to their kittens.

All our breeding cats are tested regularly for FIV, FELV and FIP as well as screened for HCM on a yearly basis.

We are original members of IG-BENGAL (Schwitzerland) and TICA-Schweiz. And are a Q´Cat© certified Cattery. Also we are proud members of TIBCS and TICA in USA.

Our Breeding goals:

healthy and typey kittens
wild exotic look & affectionate loving purrsonality
a short and silky coat
dramatic markings/rosettes
extreme contrast
Goldglitter

We breed Bengals because we love them and we want them to enlarge, we want to provide information to people interested in Bengals and we want to help to promote the Bengal as breed.

We love our cats very much and if we don´t use them anymore for breeding they will be staying by us their whole lives as neutered cats.

Obvious we take our Bengals to international cat shows (traditional ones and also TICA), so we hear different opinions and judgements from judges, win titles and to show them for spectators, because they are much more beautiful if you see them live!!!
