Signaturekats Cassiopeia
"Cassi"
Born January 28, 2023
Cassi joined Sierra NV Bengals on April 1, 2023. She is a second generation (2G), high percentage, brown (black) charcoal spotted tabby. Cassi is out of Sora at Signaturekats (3/4 F1) and Spottedenvy Greystone, making her 37.5% wild cat. She has beautiful large nocturnal eyes, amazing nose leather, and such a striking pattern when you see it. She is extremely playful and sweet. She's always purring and making biscuits. Cassi has an outgoing personality and just loves attention. She loves to play and is very hard to photograph because she moves so fast.
Thank you Kat LaDue for such a sweet and extraordinary girl. I look forward to seeing what she brings to our program.

UtopianBengals Figgy of SierraNV
"Figgy"
Born August 17, 2023
Figgy is an F1 hybrid Bengal that joined us in November all the way from Utopian Bengals in Texas. She has soooo much going for her that we believe will contribute greatly to our program. She has beautiful small ears, an amazing puffy nose, whisker pads, and chin. Her head is just gorgeous with a nice round top skull that flows beautifully into her back skull. And her tail is to die for. She has a wonderful pattern with horizontal flow and her whited tummy is drool worthy. Figgy is very vocal and has a lot to say about everything. Her trills are so cute and unique. She likes to follow you around and be your shadow, as well as go for a little walk in the backyard. Her favorite toys are the chirping birds and her best friend is Nora (they are always cuddling).
Thank You Kate Dupnik of Utopian Bengals for entrusting me with this wonderful girl!

Miss Misha
"Misha"
Born February 17, 2024
Misha joined Sierra NV Bengals on May 3, 2024. She is an Asian Leopard Cat that came to us from SignatureKats in Maryland. She has beautiful large nocturnal eyes, amazing nose leather, and beautiful small rounded ears. I loved her two-toned nose and her striking pattern and countershaded belly. She is definitely wild but enjoys the company of dogs and some of the other cats.
Thank you Kat LaDue for such an extraordinary girl. I look forward to seeing what she brings to our program.

Winter came to us from our good friend, Miranda's Ranch. She is a black silver spotted tabby. Winter has an amazing head with a nice rounded top skull, nice large, round eyes, small ears, a nice medium thick tail with blunted tip.
