Raised underfoot
Our cats participate in ordinary family life rather than being managed as inventory.
In the Blue Ridge Mountains
Leopard Moon
Bengals raised as family.
Extraordinary cats, raised underfoot and loved from the beginning.
A small home breeding program
A remarkable cat deserves a remarkable beginning.
Leopard Moon Bengals is a TICA-registered, family-centered breeding program devoted to health, temperament, thoughtful socialization, and responsible placement.
Our cats live with us as beloved house pets. They sleep on furniture, steal our seats, follow us through the house, and appear constantly in the life of Leopard Moon. Everything begins there.
Our story and philosophy
Home-raised
TICA registered
Loved from day oneHCM screenedPKDef/PRA-b testedThoughtfully paired
Our north star
Family first.
All Leopard Moon cats live underfoot as house pets.
They are not breeding inventory.
They are not livestock.
They are members of the family who happen to be part of our breeding program.
Our kittens are handled, loved on, and socialized from day one. They grow up inside the normal rhythm of a household, among voices, footsteps, furniture, play, quiet, and affection.
The Leopard Moon standard
Care with depth. Love with proof.
Beautiful cats matter. So do the lives they lead, the health decisions behind them, and the families who welcome them home.
Health with clarity
Our program uses genetic testing and appropriate HCM cardiac screening
Known as individuals
Prospective families deserve to meet the adult personalities behind every litter.
The adults are never background characters
Meet the family behind the kittens.
We believe a breeding program should show its adult cats frequently, not hide them behind endless kitten announcements. Their personalities, routines, trust, and relationships are part of the story.
Current & planned kittens
A thoughtful beginning, never a rushed one.
No kittens are currently listed. Please check back for upcoming litters or contact us about future plans. We never publish speculative dates, pairings, or availability.
