THE PET WAIT LIST
(updated daily)

**Please note that the Waitlist Deposit is $500 and the Kitten Reservation Deposit is $1000.  These Deposits are considered part-payments toward your kitten purchase and are non-refundable should you forfeit them during the process.  They will remain on deposit however for the future purchase of a kitten if you choose to reactivate them within 12 months of forfeiture. They may also be transferred to a friend or family member as long as that person submits our Kitten Questionnaire and is accepted.**

**If you are on our Wait List and we consistently (2X in a row) do not receive any response to our communication efforts, we will place you on our "Dormant" list below, so that our new waitlisters aren't deterred by the length of the waitlist.  When/if communication with you resumes, we will put you back on the Active Wait List (with a date adjusted to the date that communication resumed, to be fair to the others who have been actively communicating and waiting on kittens). **

Kitten waitlist and Breeder Evaluation Process

At Jewelspride Bengals, our waitlist and evaluation processes are carefully designed to ensure that every kitten is matched with the right home or breeder program. Here’s how it works:
1. Breeder Evaluation ProcessWe occasionally reserve certain kittens for potential breeding programs. This process takes time and involves several important steps:
  • Notification of Breeders: We inform breeders actively searching for kittens about new kittens available for evaluation. Currently, the breeders on our list are located in Europe, so communication can take time.
  • Evaluation Period: If a breeder expresses interest, the kitten is placed under evaluation for several weeks. During this time, both we and the breeder assess the kitten’s development, health, and characteristics.
  • Genetic Testing: Samples are sent to the UC Davis Genetics Laboratory in California for analysis. This step ensures the kitten meets the breeder’s specific genetic requirements.
  • Decision and Deposit: If the kitten meets the breeder’s needs, they place a deposit to secure their interest. If the kitten isn’t the right fit, we offer it to the Pet Waitlist instead.
This process is essential to ensure breeders invest in the perfect addition to their programs. As breeders ourselves, we understand the importance of patience and diligence when selecting breeding cats from around the world.
2. Pet Waitlist Process For families on our pet waitlist, here’s how the selection process unfolds:
  • Kitten Announcement: When kittens are 2-4 weeks old and have their eyes open, we send an email to everyone on the waitlist. This email includes photos and details of the available kittens.
  • Expression of Interest: Waitlist members are asked to:
    1. Confirm if they’re interested in choosing a kitten during this round.
    2. Share their preferred kittens in order of preference (if applicable).
  • Response Time: We allow 24-48 hours for responses, depending on the timing (e.g., holidays or summer weekends).
  • Selection Process:
    • We start with the first active person who responded and proceed down the list.
    • Each person selects their preferred kitten and pays a deposit to reserve it. The kitten is then marked as “Reserved.”
  • Sequential Selection: This process continues over a few days until all active responders have made their choices. It’s ideal to offer multiple kittens at once, as it increases the likelihood of people choosing their originally desired kitten instead of opting for a different one due to limited options.
  • Health and Safety: For the health and safety of the kittens, no visits are permitted until the kittens have been vaccinated. Instead, kittens are chosen via multiple photos, videos, and conversations with us. This process works very well and ensures the safety and well-being of the kittens.
3. Managing Waitlist Preferences
  • Preferences shared during the announcement are not binding. They help us gauge interest but often change during the actual selection process.
  • No one can skip ahead of others on the waitlist unless higher-priority individuals explicitly pass on the kittens being offered in writing.
4. Dormant List PolicyIf someone doesn’t respond to two separate kitten offers, they’re moved to the Dormant List. Dormant List members won’t receive further waitlist emails unless/until they contact us to reactivate their spot.

​We understand that this process might seem complex to new waitlist members. Rest assured, we’re here to guide you every step of the way and ensure everything is handled transparently and fairly. If you have additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

If you have read through all of the information on this page and the rest of our website and feel that you are ready to commit to adopting a kitten from us in the future, please feel free to send in your application to join our Wait List.  As discussed on the "Adopting a Kitten" page, the Wait List Deposit never expires and it will secure your spot in line to adopt a kitten from our current or upcoming litters. ** Your position on the Wait List is determined by the exact time and date we recieve all three of the following items from you.LICATION STEPS

3 steps to join our waitlist:

Effective June 1, 2022 the Waitlist Deposit is $500 Cdn.  This is to ensure that anyone joining our waitlist has put a lot of thought into adopting one of our kittens and is serious about the committment of purchasing and owning one. We build our breeding program around the number of people on our waitlist and do not want to have kittens waiting to find homes when the time comes to leave us. 
*If you join our Wait List today, we estimate that you may be offered a kitten anywhere from immediately to 5 months from now, depending on how restrictive your preferences are (colour, gender, etc) and what kittens we have available at the time you join our Wait List.  We offer kittens to the waitlist when they are about 4 weeks of age and they are ready to leave us at 14 weeks of age)*  Please have a look at the current Wait List prior to placing your deposit:  ​
DISCLAIMER:
​*Please note that we reserve the right to hold back up to 25% of our kittens for our breeding program and that of the other breeders who are waiting on our kittens for their breeding programs.
**Please also note that in the event of a former client's kitten becoming ill or deceased, we reserve the right to provide a replacement kitten to that person ahead of those names appearing on the current waitlist.
***We cannot predict the speed at which you will move up on the waitlist as it is completely dependent on the number of litters expected and the number of live kittens successfully delivered in those litters
