Four bloodlines
Four unique bloodlines give us room to make thoughtful choices as Leopard Moon grows.
Health, color, and thoughtful pairings
Our Genetics
Our program includes four unique bloodlines. We use genetic testing and HCM screening to make thoughtful breeding decisions and care for the future of our cats.
The simple version
We test our cats and plan our pairings carefully.
Our breeding cats are HCM screened and PKDef/PRA-b tested. Every Leopard Moon cat carries glitter coat genes, and our lines can produce brown, silver, and snow Bengals.
Health testing
We use HCM screening along with PKDef and PRA-b testing as part of our breeding program.
Glitter coats
All of our cats carry glitter coat genes, giving many Leopard Moon Bengals their signature sparkling finish.
Coats in real life
Color is only the beginning.
Warm brown rosettes, pale snow coats, bold facial markings, and glitter that catches the light all look different as a Bengal moves through a real home.
Bengal coat colors
The seven recognized Bengal coat colors.
Bengals come in seven recognized colors, each with its own background tone, markings, and eye colors.
Brown
A warm golden background with bold black or dark brown rosettes. This is the classic Bengal look.
Silver
A cool, icy background with black or charcoal rosettes and striking contrast.
Snow lynx
A pale ivory or cream coat with charcoal or seal markings and bright blue eyes.
Snow mink
A warm ivory coat with soft, low-contrast markings and aqua eyes.
Snow sepia
A rich ivory coat with warm, high-contrast markings and green or gold eyes.
Charcoal
A cool brown background with ghost rosettes and a dark, shadowed appearance.
Melanistic
A very dark, nearly black coat with ghost rosettes that may become visible in sunlight.

Future Coat Goals

Charcoal
Our cats carry the charcoal allele, but we would also need non-agouti genetics to produce charcoal kittens.
Blue
Sherry carries dilute, but we would need another cat carrying dilute to produce blue kittens.
