ZawieCo Bengals has been breeding bengal cats in Florida for over 25 years. We are a small bengal breeder devoted to raising healthy, happy and very well socialized Bengal kittens in our home. We love the variety of Bengal colors and here at ZawieCo, we produce beautifully rosetted bengal kittens in Brown, Snow (seal lynx, seal mink, seal sepia) bengal kittens, Charcoal bengal kittens and Silver bengal kittens. Our kittens are always born in our bedroom where I give extra attention and love and can rub mommy’s tummy as she prepares to deliver her kittens. Once the kittens are old enough, they are moved into the dedicated kitten rooms where they climb on the big Molly trees and learn to run on their Cat Wheels!

We ensure to handle our Bengal babies from day 1 as we believe this helps them form early human bonding. So when you purchase a kitten from ZawieCo Bengals, know that your new family member comes from a home of love with over 25 years of Bengal breeding experience. Our bengal cats are members of our family and are never caged.

Although we have had many people fly in from out of state to pick up their new bengal kitten, we primarily place to homes in Florida. Some of the areas that our bengal kittens now call home include Miami, Boca Raton, Port St Lucie, Jacksonville, Tampa, Sarasota, Fort Meyers and anywhere in between! Prior to leaving us, each kitten is fully veterinarian health checked, vaccinated and tested for felv/fiv. Additionally, my kittens come with a lifetime of support from me to you!

Before moving to Stuart, Florida, we lived in NY, on eastern Long Island... We had a vet there that we admired greatly due to his knowledge and compassionate nature. When I got my little Seal Mink spotted girl, I had just lost my 19 year old Calico, Daisy.
Dr. Zawie had been his kind, caring self as he did the best for Daisy (and me). He touched my family and me greatly, and we named the little girl Zawie, in his honor.
Zawie is now Momma Zawie, and the matriarch of the cattery.
Hence the name Zawie and Company...... ZawieCo.

All of our bengal kittens are examined (and played with:-) by our wonderful vet, Dr. Joan McMindes

Bengal Cats are a hybrid cat breed from crossing an Asian Leopard Cat (Felis Bengalensis) with a domestic cat. This small, elusive ALC wildcat is found from Siberia, Pakistan, Tibet and India, Burma, Thailand, and parts of mainland China then south to Sumatra, Java, Borneo and the Philippines. They can thrive in a variety of habitats... dense tropical forests, scrub, semi-desert and agricultural areas.

The species Latin name (bengalensis) is derived from the first Leopard Cat that was discovered swimming in the Bay of Bengal.

The early generation Bengals are called Foundation Bengals, or "F" cats, and represent Bengals that are 1, 2, or 3 generations removed from the ALC. A Bengal is considered domestic (can be registered and shown) when it is 4 or more generations removed from the ALC.

Bengals love to jump, and they are excitingly good jumpers! Watch them show off their strength, beauty and agility in these videos.
