About Wild Grace Bengals
Wild Grace Bengals is a home-based Bengal breeding business in North Melbourne, Victoria. We raise our kittens as part of everyday family life, with a focus on health, temperament and getting to know each cat as an individual.
Our approach brings together thoughtful breeding decisions, hands-on care and a considered match between each kitten and their new family.

Our story
From Bengal owner to breeder
Our approach draws on more than seven years of experience with Bengals, including four years of breeding. Living with Bengals before breeding them has shaped our understanding of their needs and the guidance we share with prospective owners.
At Wild Grace Bengals, daily care, thoughtful pairing decisions and getting to know each kitten go hand in hand. We use those everyday observations to help match kittens with families who can meet their individual needs.
Wild Grace Bengals is our business name. FCCV membership and registration are held in our breeder’s personal name, rather than under the Wild Grace Bengals name. Official pedigree and registration documents issued through the Feline Control Council of Victoria (FCCV) are supplied to kitten purchasers.
A home shared with Bengals
Our cats primarily live indoors and have access to a secure outdoor lawn. The kittens grow up inside the family home, experiencing household routines, human contact, gentle handling and play.
Children, other adults and resident cats are part of that environment. We introduce kittens to everyday care such as brushing, paw handling, scratching surfaces, litter trays and carriers, while recognising that confidence and habits develop at an individual pace.
Getting to know each kitten takes time. Those everyday observations help us explain a kitten’s personality, familiar routines and preparation to their future family.
What guides our breeding
The appearance of a Bengal matters, but it is part of a wider picture. Our priorities are health, temperament, breed-standard structure and responsible pairing.
Health and genetic wellbeing
Adult breeding cats undergo HCM heart screening and DNA testing, including PRA-b and PK deficiency. Screening follows veterinary recommendations, and results are considered individually alongside overall health and veterinary advice.
Character and suitability
Friendly, confident temperament is a breeding priority. We get to know our cats through daily care, handling and play, and consider the needs of each individual when making breeding and placement decisions.
Thoughtful pairings
Genetic diversity and breed-standard appearance and structure inform our breeding plans. We discuss the parents and relevant health-testing information for the kitten a family is considering.
Kitten buyers receive a summary of the parents’ health testing. Screening informs decisions; we do not describe every breeding cat as having the same result.
The right kitten for your household
A good match starts with a conversation. We ask about your home, the people and other animals in it, your expectations and when you would like to welcome a kitten.
Together, we consider your preferences, the kitten’s temperament and whether the home can meet a Bengal’s needs. We discuss daily interaction, play, enrichment and secure living arrangements before you make a commitment.
You can get to know a kitten through photos, videos and regular progress updates. Live video calls are available by arrangement. We do not offer visits or meet-and-greets before collection.
Support beyond homecoming
Preparation, familiar routines and someone to ask
Before a kitten leaves, we explain their care, provide the relevant records and share guidance for settling into a new home. Familiar food, toys and a scent-bearing blanket are included in the kitten starter pack.
Kittens usually go home at around 12 weeks, following a veterinary examination and clearance. Collection is by appointment; interstate delivery can be arranged in advance, with transport costs paid separately.
Our support continues after homecoming. We regularly follow up during the initial settling-in period and offer ongoing general care and settling advice. Your veterinarian remains the first contact for health concerns.
If you become unable to keep your Bengal, you must contact Wild Grace Bengals first. We help find a suitable rehoming solution, taking the cat’s needs and circumstances into account.
Tell us about the home you can offer
