Questions? We've Got Answers!

We recommend starting your kitten in a small, quiet room with their litter box, food, water, toys, and the blanket we send home with them. Spend plenty of time in the room playing, cuddling, and helping them feel comfortable.

Most of our kittens settle in very quickly, but every kitten is different. Some may be a little nervous or want to hide at first, and that’s completely normal. Give them time and let them move at their own pace.

Once your kitten is confident, curious, and ready to explore, you can gradually give them more access to the house. If you have other pets, introductions should be done slowly rather than giving everyone free access to each other right away.

Every kitten is different. Many of our kittens walk into their new homes like they own the place, while others may need a little more time. 

It can take a few days to a couple of weeks for a kitten to feel completely comfortable. Hiding, being a little quieter than usual, or eating less the first day can happen during the transition. Give them time, lots of reassurance, and a quiet place to settle in.

If something doesn’t feel right or you’re concerned about how your kitten is adjusting, please reach out to us.

Introductions should always be done slowly and at your pets’ pace. Start by keeping your new kitten in their own room and allow everyone to get used to each other’s smells before meeting face-to-face. 

Short, supervised introductions are best at first. Some hissing, growling, or uncertainty can be completely normal while everyone figures each other out. Don’t force interaction and make sure each pet has a place where they can get away and feel safe. 

Some pets become friends almost immediately, while others may take a few weeks. Patience usually makes for a much smoother introduction.

Our kittens are weaned onto Dr. Elsey’s Clean Protein Chicken canned food and Wellness Chicken dry food. We recommend having both on hand before your kitten comes home so their diet stays consistent during the transition.

If you decide to change foods, always do it slowly by gradually mixing in the new food over several days. Switching foods too quickly can cause stomach upset or diarrhea, especially while your kitten is already adjusting to a new home.

You can find links to the foods we use, along with some of our other favorites, on our Things We Love page.

Our kittens are litter box trained using Cat Butler pea-based pellet clumping litter. We recommend having the same litter ready when your kitten comes home so their litter box feels familiar during the transition.

If you prefer to use a different type of litter, give your kitten time to settle in first and then transition gradually. Keeping things familiar in those first few days can make adjusting to their new home much easier.

You can find the litter we use on our Things We Love page.

Yes. Our kittens are placed as indoor-only cats. Bengals and Devon Rex can both be curious, adventurous, and very social, which can put them at risk if allowed to roam freely outdoors.

That doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy the outdoors! A secure catio, enclosed patio, or properly fitted harness and leash can be great ways to safely give them some fresh air and enrichment.

Just be warned — once some Bengals discover outside adventures, they may become very good at reminding you when it’s time to go again. 

You don’t need to buy everything in the pet store before your kitten arrives!  Start with the basics: the same food and litter they are already used to, food and water dishes, a litter box, scratching areas, a comfortable place to sleep, and plenty of toys.

Bengals and Devon Rex both enjoy climbing and interactive play, so a sturdy cat tree and good enrichment are definitely worth having.

We’ve put together a Things We Love page with the toys, cat wheels, scratchers, food, litter, and other products we personally use and recommend.

Yes! Both breeds are very social and enjoy being involved with their people, but Bengals especially need plenty of physical and mental stimulation. Interactive toys, climbing spaces, scratching areas, puzzle toys, and regular playtime all help keep them happy and entertained.

Devon Rex are playful too, but they’re also known for wanting to be close to their people. Sometimes very close. Don’t be surprised if your Devon decides your lap, shoulder, or under your blanket is their new favorite place.

Neither breed is a great choice if you’re looking for a cat that simply keeps to itself most of the time.

Absolutely. Bengals are known for being very vocal and some have an entire vocabulary of meows, chirps, trills, and other interesting noises. They may “talk” when they want food, attention, playtime, or simply because they have something to say.

Some Bengals are quieter than others, but having a talkative Bengal is completely normal. You may even find yourself having full conversations with them — and they usually expect you to answer. 

A sudden change in how much your cat is vocalizing is different. If your normally quiet cat suddenly becomes extremely vocal, or the vocalizing seems related to pain or distress, that’s something worth paying attention to.

Yes! Bengals love being up high and will often find their way onto cat trees, shelves, window ledges, cabinets, and sometimes the top of your refrigerator. Climbing and exploring vertical spaces comes very naturally to them.

Providing tall, sturdy cat trees and other safe places to climb gives them an appropriate outlet for that instinct.

And yes, if there’s a spot in your house that makes you think, “There’s no way the cat can get up there,” your Bengal may take that as a challenge. 

Very normal! Bengals are athletic, energetic cats and sometimes that energy comes out in full-speed zoomies through the house, usually at the most convenient time possible. 

Daily interactive play, climbing opportunities, toys, and plenty of enrichment help give that energy somewhere to go. A cat wheel can also be a great outlet for many Bengals.

If your Bengal suddenly becomes unusually restless or their activity level changes dramatically from what is normal for them, that’s different and may be worth paying attention to.

Many Bengals are fascinated by water! You may find yours playing in their water bowl, investigating the sink, watching the shower, or trying to “help” while you’re running a bath.

Not every Bengal loves water, but being curious about it is completely normal. A cat fountain can be a fun way to give them access to moving water while encouraging them to drink.

Just don’t be surprised when you discover that buying a Bengal apparently means you no longer get to use the sink alone.

Because you have a Devon Rex.  Devons are incredibly social and affectionate cats that love being involved in whatever their people are doing.

Don’t be surprised if your Devon follows you from room to room, curls up in your lap, climbs onto your shoulder, or tries to sneak under the blankets with you. Many would happily spend most of the day touching their favorite person if given the chance.

That closeness is one of the things we love most about the breed, but it also means Devons generally aren’t cats that are happiest being left alone for long periods without companionship.

Bengals can be very energetic players, especially as kittens. Chasing, wrestling, pouncing, and flying through the house after toys can all be completely normal.

This is one reason interactive play and plenty of enrichment are so important. Another playful cat or kitten can also be a great outlet for all that Bengal energy.

Play should still be fun for everyone involved. If another pet is constantly hiding, frightened, being injured, or unable to get away, that’s more than normal rough play and should be addressed.

Devon Rex have a very fine, thin coat, so they tend to seek out warmth more than many other cats. Sunny windows, warm blankets, your lap, and cozy beds are usually favorite spots.

Don’t be surprised if your Devon burrows under the covers or finds the warmest place in the house to curl up. Providing plenty of soft, warm places to sleep will make them very happy.

And if there’s a heated blanket available, just accept that it probably belongs to your Devon now. 

Devon Rex are fairly low maintenance, but their unique coat and skin can need a little extra attention. Because their coat is so fine, oils may build up more noticeably than they would on a cat with a traditional coat.

Some Devons may occasionally need a gentle wipe-down, while others rarely do. Their ears and nails should also be checked regularly, as oils can build up there too.

Avoid over-bathing or excessive brushing—their delicate coat can be damaged easily, and every Devon is a little different.

Bengals and Devon Rex are both sometimes described as being more allergy-friendly than other breeds, but no cat breed is truly hypoallergenic. Cat allergies are most commonly triggered by proteins cats produce, rather than simply by their fur.

Some people with cat allergies may find that they react less to Bengals or Devon Rex, but everyone is different and there are no guarantees.

If someone in your household has cat allergies, we strongly recommend spending time around the breed before bringing a kitten home to see how they react.

Both Bengals and Devon Rex are very social breeds and often enjoy having another cat or kitten as a companion. That doesn’t mean you have to bring home two, especially if someone is home often or you already have another friendly pet.

Bengals can really benefit from having a playmate to wrestle, chase, and burn off energy with, while Devons often love having a buddy to play and cuddle with when their people aren’t around.

This is one reason we love seeing two kittens go home together — and we offer $200 off the second kitten when two go home together.

Our kittens typically go home between 12–14 weeks of age. We know waiting is hard, but those extra weeks with mom, littermates, and our family are an important part of their development and socialization.

Before going home, kittens will have received their age-appropriate vaccinations and preventative care and will be spayed or neutered and microchipped.

We’ll stay in touch as your kitten grows and let you know when they’re ready for their big move home.

Your kitten will go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and with their age-appropriate vaccinations and preventative care completed. You’ll also receive their TICA registration, health information, and our health guarantee.

We send each kitten home with a personalized kitten pack and a familiar blanket carrying the scents of home to help make their transition a little easier.

Your kitten will also receive 30 days of pet insurance so they have coverage during those first few weeks at home.

Bengals and Devon Rex definitely have their quirks, but being a unique breed doesn’t mean every unusual behavior should be brushed off as “normal.”

A sudden change in your kitten’s usual behavior, refusing food, repeated vomiting or diarrhea, unusual lethargy, difficulty breathing, straining or having trouble urinating, or signs that your kitten is in pain should always be taken seriously.

You’ll get to know your kitten’s normal personality and habits pretty quickly. If something just doesn’t seem right, trust that instinct and contact your veterinarian. And of course, you’re always welcome to reach out to us too.

Scratching is completely normal cat behavior. Cats scratch to stretch, maintain their claws, and leave both visual and scent markings, so the goal isn’t to stop scratching — it’s to give them better places to do it.

Provide several sturdy scratching options throughout your home, including both vertical and horizontal scratchers. Tall cat trees, sisal posts, and cardboard scratchers are all great choices.

If your kitten chooses the furniture, calmly redirect them to an appropriate scratcher and reward them when they use it. Keeping their nails trimmed regularly also helps.

Declawing is never an appropriate solution and is not permitted for our kittens.

Absolutely! Our relationship with our kitten families doesn’t end when your kitten goes home. We love hearing updates, seeing photos, and watching our babies grow.

If you have questions about settling in, behavior, food, or anything else along the way, please reach out. We’re always happy to help when we can.

For medical concerns, your veterinarian should always be your first call, but we’re still here to support you throughout your kitten’s life.
