Retired Bengals

We honor the Kings and Queens who helped us build the foundation of our breeding program. They now live happy lives as spoiled pets.

Retired Bengal Stud – Apache

When it comes to Bengal cats for sale with award-winning bloodlines, our retired stud Apache stands out as one of the finest, Sired from Bishops Bengals. With a commanding presence and extraordinary performance in the show ring, Apache earned his Triple Grand Champion title at the Lafayette, LA show, and achieved Double Grand Champion status in Richmond, VA, where he was also awarded Best Cat in Lisa Dickie’s ring.

Apache’s rise in the show world was fast and impressive. By his second show in Schaumburg, IL, he had already become a Grand Champion, placing 1st in Breed and Division in 9 out of 15 rings, and finaling three times. At just 9 months old, he debuted as an adult in Atlanta and quickly earned his Champion title in the first four rings. He went on to place Best of Breed and Division multiple times and reached the finals in both all-breed and specialty categories.

Apache was not only a showstopper — he was a cornerstone of our breeding program, passing on his striking pattern, structure, and confident temperament to his kittens. His legacy continues in our current and future Bengal cats for sale, making him an essential part of our cattery’s foundation.
Retired Bengal Queen – Toshani

If you’re looking for Bengal cats for sale with exceptional lineage, our retired queen Toshani is a beautiful example of the Bengal breed at its finest. Toshani had a stunning appearance — big, puffy whisker pads, a tight, silky coat full of golden glitter, and rich, mahogany-centered rosettes. Her exotic look and wild elegance were consistently passed down to her kittens.

Toshani wasn’t just known for her looks — she was an incredibly intelligent and nurturing mother. She actively taught her kittens through play, often selecting toys for their developmental stages and showing them how to use them. She communicated with her babies constantly and remained attentive throughout their growth.

Her bond with people was just as strong. She loved to be wherever we were, often hopping into suitcases to make sure she—and her kittens—weren’t left behind. A true travel companion, Toshani even delivered litters in several states, always calm and happy as long as she was with us.

Toshani leaves behind a legacy of beauty, intelligence, and loving temperament in her offspring — traits we continue to cherish in our current and upcoming Bengal cats for sale.

Retired Bengal Stud – Takao

For those seeking Bengal kittens with international lineage and unforgettable looks, our retired stud Takao represents the very best of the breed. Large, muscular, and striking, Takao was known for his thick, lush coat, glittering sheen, and bold, painted-on rosettes that made him truly stand out. He had a strong, thick tail, small ears, and a wild yet refined appearance — a perfect example of the Bengal standard.

But Takao wasn’t just beautiful — his friendly, affectionate nature made him beloved by everyone who met him. His easygoing temperament was passed on to many of his kittens, along with his stunning physical traits.

Takao fathered kittens both in France and California before joining us at Shere Khan Cats, and we are deeply grateful to Jean Mill of Millwood Bengals for sharing this incredible male with our program. His legacy lives on through the exceptional quality of our current and upcoming Bengal kitties.

In Loving Memory – Takigi (2001–2016)

Though no longer with us, Takigi remains an unforgettable part of our Bengal breeding legacy. For anyone looking for Bengal cats and kittens with lineage rooted in true Bengal type and wild elegance, Takigi’s influence still shines through.

The daughter of Millwood Toshani and Trendar Zeigmeister, Takigi was our very first kitten — born in 2001 — and she set the bar incredibly high. Her coat featured beautiful, well-defined rosettes with open mahogany centers and plenty of acreage. Her wild look was completed by puffy whisker pads, a strong, muscular frame, and graceful, agile movement that truly mirrored the jungle cat.

Takigi passed these exceptional traits on to her kittens, making her the kind of Bengal every breeder hopes to produce. Her brief show career was impressive: first place in 8 of 12 rings, second in the remaining 4, and three final ribbons — a testament to her beauty and conformation. Takigi also had a wonderful personality. Alongside her sister Tiara, she loved to mimic human behavior, explore cabinets, and travel with us across the country. One of our favorite memories is seeing the two of them, along with their mother Toshani, peering out of car windows, watching the world go by. They often shared the care of their kittens and would even bring them to us — or to our elderly Siamese male, Takoda — for babysitting.

Kigi lives on in her descendants and in the heart of our cattery. Her legacy continues to influence the Bengals Kittens here at Shere Khan Cats , both in beauty and in spirit.

Retired Bengal Stud – Ziggy

If you’re drawn to Bengal kittens with both charm and pedigree, Ziggy is a name worth remembering. Known for his big, bright eyes and photogenic personality, Ziggy was always ready to pose — a true camera ham with a striking look to match.

His clear, glittered coat developed into a beautiful pelt full of rosettes and bold contrast. Like all Bengals, his coat matured over the course of a year, revealing a strong, muscular frame beneath his playful spirit. Though built like a champion, Ziggy never outgrew his love for fun and affection. Ziggy was more than just good looks. He had a gentle, nurturing personality and often helped with parenting duties. It was common to find him babysitting kittens, patiently watching over the den while the mothers took breaks. The queens trusted him so deeply, they would sometimes leave entire litters in his care, even with newborns.

He also proved himself in the show ring, earning placements from 1st through 5th in Best of Color, Breed, and Division. His offspring carry his striking looks and loving temperament, continuing his legacy in our current and future Bengal cats for sale. Now retired, Ziggy enjoys a wonderful life with his forever family in Las Cruces, New Mexico, but his impact on our program remains strong.

In Loving Memory – Shabeel Tiara (Deceased 2017)

At Shere Khan Cats Bengals, we believe every cat has a story — and Tiara’s is one we’ll never forget. For anyone seeking Bengal cats for sale with rich lineage and strong character, Tiara’s legacy continues through the generations she helped shape.

The daughter of Millwood Toshani and Trendar Zeigmeister, Tiara was the full sister to our beloved TaKigi. Her coat featured arrowhead-shaped rosettes, deep rich coloration, and a pelt that was silky soft and glittering with gold from head to tail. Her look was stunning, but it was her story and spirit that made her truly unforgettable.

Sadly, Tiara was once sold to an unfit home and was returned to us under heartbreaking circumstances — thrown through our front door by an abusive buyer. In an extraordinary moment, she ran straight into our arms. Her mother and sister welcomed her back instantly, as if no time had passed. With love and care, Tiara slowly returned to the curious, playful, and outgoing Bengal we had raised.

She remained with us forever after that.

Tiara was highly intelligent, playful, and endlessly curious. She loved to open cabinets and drawers, often watching people closely and mimicking their actions. Like her sister Tikigi, she was a skilled jumper — clearing nine-foot heights with ease, always showing off her wild elegance and athleticism. Tiara’s strength, beauty, and resilience left a lasting mark on our breeding program. While she passed away in 2017 due to cancer, her grace, gold-glittered coat, and unbreakable spirit continue in the Bengal lines we raise and cherish today — a powerful influence on our current and future Bengal cats for sale.
