About Brigite's Bengals

Welcome to Brigite's Bengals, a small cattery located in Calgary, Alberta, CA. We are dedicated to raising healthy and playful cats through specialized diets and kitten playtime. Our cats receive regular veterinarian examinations and are housed in comfortable lodgings.

Bengals are an affectionate and curious breed, and our cats and kittens are no exception. I wrote a blog post recently about my own personal reason's for getting into this business. You can read it here.

 

Our cats are harnessed, trained, and taken on walks regularly, and daily exposure to outside play in all types of weather and environments makes them wonderfully behaved, safe, playfully active, and lap cats. Our loving cats spend time with our dogs, so they are naturally dog-friendly.

At Brigite's Bengals, we take a home-cooked approach to cat food. Our cats are fed homemade cat food, which is reflected in their beautiful, shiny coats and playful demeanour. If you choose to continue their diets, we can explain why this is beneficial.

Our kittens do not leave our cattery earlier than three months, so that their immune systems can develop and strengthen with their mother's and to make time to administer the required vaccinations. They also benefit from peer socialization with their siblings and parents, learning the necessary skills to be on their own and in your care. After the kittens transition into your care, we continue to be a support to new Bengal owners. Here is a GUIDE on what to expect after bringing your new addition home. 

Brigite's Bengals is registered with the international organization TICA, The Canadian Cat Association (CCA-AFC), and the European WCF system (World Cat Federation). Our cats travel with us and are accustomed to carrying and long travel. They lead an active lifestyle, going on walks outside the city and playing outdoor games.

Your kitten will grow into a forever companion, and you will know that their short time here was filled with love and care. If you have any questions or would like to receive pictures and videos of our current litters and newborns, please don't hesitate to call or text us. This page lets you know what to expect after you bring a kitten home.

Our Approach to Feline Care

At Brigite’s Bengals, we take a whole-cat approach to care—one that balances nutrition, enrichment, and environment. We believe feline wellness is built through thoughtful daily practices, including fresh, gently prepared food, consistent play, and opportunities for safe exploration.

Play is not optional for cats; it is essential. Structured play supports physical health, mental stimulation, confidence, and emotional balance, particularly for intelligent, high-energy breeds. We emphasize interactive play that engages natural instincts such as stalking, chasing, and problem-solving, helping cats stay curious, calm, and connected.

We also support harness and leash training as a form of controlled enrichment when done gradually and respectfully. For many cats, supervised outdoor exposure or new environments can provide mental stimulation and confidence without compromising safety. While not every cat will enjoy harness training, we view it as one of many tools that can enhance a cat’s quality of life when approached patiently and on the cat’s terms.

Although our experience is rooted in raising Bengal cats, this philosophy is not breed-specific. A balanced routine—grounded in nutrition, play, and enrichment—can support the wellbeing of cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments.
