Lalu x Ludo Silver/Silver Charcoal Kitten Litter Announcement

We are so excited to share that Lalu and Ludo welcomed four beautiful babies on May 24th

We have two boys and two girls, and all four are already showing gorgeous silver or silver charcoal spotted patterns. Their markings are starting to come in beautifully, and they are happy, healthy, content little babies. Lalu is doing such a wonderful job with them and has settled into motherhood so naturally.

These kittens will come available to those on the waitlist first before ever coming available to the public. While we do have families currently on our waitlist, some are waiting for specific traits such as a particular color, pattern, gender, or future pairing. Because of this, we currently have 1-2 available spots on our waitlist for this litter.

Kittens from this litter will begin becoming available to families on our waitlist to reserve between July 5th and July 19th, when they are between 6 and 8 weeks old. This gives us time to watch their personalities, structure and overall development so we can help guide families toward the best possible match.

This is a very special pairing for us, not only because of how beautiful we expect these kittens to be, but because of the temperaments behind both parents.

Lalu is a TICA Champion and earned 2024 Best Seal Silver Mink Bengal of the Year. She comes from a very meaningful line for our program, with beautiful genetic diversity through her sire, Elysian Bengals Cthulhu, who comes from a long outcross project incorporating Egyptian Mau and American Shorthair genetics. Her mother, Talulah, is from our own program and comes from highly decorated Bengal lines, including RW SGC Exotiquesbengals Helios and TGC Amazonbengals Cruise of Lunakatz.

Lalu is truly beautiful with her aqua eyes, strong contrast, dark markings, spotted legs, rounded expression, puffy whisker pads, and sweet feminine look. But what we love most about her is her personality. She is friendly, social, affectionate, talkative, playful, and loves being part of everything. She enjoys traveling, going to shows, meeting people, playing in water, cuddling with us, and interacting with our other cats and dogs.

Ludo is our glittered silver king, and he is just as sweet as he is stunning. He has a bright silver coat, beautiful glitter, dark dense markings, strong horizontal pattern flow, a thick tail, rounded green eyes, puffy whisker pads, and a gorgeous expression.

His temperament is one of the things we love most about him. Ludo is gentle, affectionate, emotionally connected, and incredibly trusting. He loves attention, softly chats when he wants affection, and will happily relax upside down for belly rubs. He is playful and enjoys his cat wheel, but he also has a nice medium energy level and loves to snuggle.

Ludo is also wonderful with other cats. He is kind, calm, and gentle in the way he interacts, which is something we deeply value and hope to see passed on to his kittens. Ludo also has shined in the show ring, he earned his Champion title in his very first adult show receiving 3rd best in show for all breeds, as well as best of breed, color and division impressing judges with both his beauty and presence.

With this pairing, we are expecting kittens with beautiful silver contrast, spotted patterns, possible charcoal expression, glittered coats, strong breed type, expressive faces, and affectionate family-centered temperaments.

At BougieBengals, our kittens are raised in our home as our family. We focus on so much more than just appearance. Our goal is to raise kittens who are beautiful, healthy, confident, emotionally connected, and ready to become deeply loved companions.

Our program has a strong natural rearing and holistic focus. We care deeply about nutrition, immune support, emotional development, social confidence, and giving each kitten a thoughtful start from the very beginning. Our babies are handled gently, raised around normal household life, and given the time and support they need to develop into confident and connected kittens.

One of the most meaningful parts of our program is the lifelong support we offer to our families. Our relationship does not end when your kitten goes home. We are here to help guide you through the transition, nutrition, behavior, development, bonding, and any questions that may come up as your kitten grows. With a specialty in animal behavior, cognitive development and species appropriate nutrition, we are able to support our families in a much deeper way than simply placing kittens. Our goal is to help each kitten thrive for life, not just while they are here with us.

If you have been hoping for a stunning silver or silver charcoal Bengal from our program, this is a wonderful time to join our waitlist. Families on the waitlist will have first opportunity for kitten selection from this litter. We are so excited to watch these babies grow and share more updates as their personalities and markings continue to develop.

If you feel one of these babies may be the right fit for your family, we invite you to explore our website and learn more about our program, placement process, pricing, about the breed, cat nutrition, health testing, cat enrichment, natural rearing and our waitlist.

These pages will walk you through how we raise our kittens, how selections work, what is included with each kitten, and how to apply for one of our upcoming kittens or retired adults.

Once you’ve had a chance to review everything, you’re welcome to submit a kitten application so we can learn more about your family.
