Bengarlis Bengals breed outstanding Bengals from award winning Sires and Queens. We are located in Melbourne, Australia.
I have own, shown and bred the wonderful Bengal for more than fifteen years (since 1991). We were known initially as Australis and are now known as Bengarlis.
We brought the first & original pair of Bengals into Australia. Glamourcats Roosevelt (F4) and Leopardline Bettina (F3)who came imported from Jean Mills (USA), they gave us only 2 litters.
Their daughters Australis Chelsea Blue, Sunbright and Ladybird were the ambassadors, along with our English imports Starwinds Dynamic Design and Starwinds Golden Aura, were the first Bengals in Australia to be registered with the governing council, and so the registered Bengal in Australia finally had acceptance as a registered purebred.
One of the most terrifying experiences would have to be having the Bengal cat road tested on Burkes Backyard. Between 13 mischeivous bengals,camera crew, lighting crew, director and staff – throw in 4 curious children and half the primary school and you have chaos waiting to happen – quite an experience. But again we endured.
As the children grew and departed our, cats stayed home and consoled us, pleased at the extra beds to sleep on. Roosevelt lived to be a good age and only went to cat heaven recently.
Our love for the Bengal and the wonderful experiences that have delighted many happy homes has been a very forefilling experience. One of our British imports Starwinds Dynamic Design is still producing beautiful kittens competing along with his sons Largerfeld and Nomattawott as dad of the year.
Our aim has always been to produce beautiful bengals.Even as an experienced breeder it is impossible to predict what sex,colour and type of kitten produced. We strive for excellence, not only for type but temperment, and the luxurious, glittered pelt that is highly desired.
Our kittens are raised indoors and under foot and are well socialised with children and animals. Our present head midwife is an 8 year old shihztu,who oversees all new arrivals and takes her nanny role very seriously.
As kittens are born they are posted on our web site,for all to share in watching them go through their various changes. Pet quality kittens are some times available and come fully vetted and desexed. Show/Breeding quality also come fully vetted. For prices and availablilty,please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thanks Phil for our beautiful girl Bronte aka Destina she has fitted in with our dogs wonderfully well and I am sure she will be keeping them in line very shortly as well as helping to train our Seeing Eye Dog puppies.
What a wonderful addition to our household
Thanks again

Thankyou again Phil for another beautiful Girl Chardy after losing our wonderful Bronte we were heartbroken, but Chardy is worming her way in to our hearts and helping to mend them also that of the Seeing Eye dogs who she is keeping in line even though she is such a tiny dot. Wandering around their legs and playing with their tails then if they get too cheeky she just hisses and walks away leaving them looking after her.
She has fitted in so well it is like she has been here forever not just a couple of weeks.
Thanks again Phil for breeding such wonderful and loving Bengals

Hi Phil,
Thank you again for Bernard (formally ‘True Grit’) he’s been an absolute wonder. He’s adapted perfectly with our home and family. He’s got the dog sorted but him and our lorikeet still aren’t to sure about each other. He’s very adventurous and explores all morning, has a long nap in the afternoon and then more exploring at night. Although we’ve had him for almost four months now he still discovers something new everyday and is fascinated by almost anything.
Thanks so much,
Em and the family
