Kittenry
Terms & disclaimer

The plain-English version

No dense block of legal text you'd never read. Here is exactly what a Kittenry listing means, what it doesn't, and where our responsibility ends and yours begins.

Last updated 4 August 2026.

1. What Kittenry is

Kittenry is a directory. We publish information about Bengal catteries so buyers can find them. That's the whole product.

We are not a party to any sale. We do not breed, own, board, transport, sell, or broker cats. We do not employ the breeders listed here and they do not act on our behalf. Any agreement you reach is between you and the cattery, and only between you and the cattery.

2. What a listing does and doesn't mean

Before a cattery is listed, we do the following:

  • Confirm their TICA or CFA cattery registration against the registry ourselves.
  • Collect health testing documentation and check it names their cats, comes from a recognised lab or named veterinarian, and is current.
  • Confirm they accept card payment by checking the payment method works.
  • Collect their written statement on how kittens are raised, placement age, vetting, and contract terms.

We do not do the following, and a listing should not be read as implying we do:

  • We do not independently authenticate laboratory or veterinary documents. We are not a lab and cannot detect a competent forgery.
  • We do not confirm that the cat named in a document is the cat being advertised or the parent of any given kitten.
  • We do not visit catteries or inspect the premises. We have not seen where these kittens are raised.
  • We do not supervise, monitor, or control any breeder's ongoing conduct.
  • We do not assess the health, temperament, pedigree, or quality of any individual cat.

A listing means a cattery met our published requirements at the point we checked. It is a filter, not a warranty. The full standard is public so you can judge for yourself how much weight to give it.

3. No guarantee, and no warranty

Kittenry is provided "as is." We make no warranty, express or implied, about any cattery, any cat, any information on this site, or any transaction you enter into. We do not guarantee the health, temperament, registration status, pedigree, lifespan, or fitness for any purpose of any animal.

Information is supplied largely by breeders and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. Availability, pricing, and program details change constantly and we may not know.

4. Legality is your responsibility

Laws on owning Bengals and other hybrid cats vary by state, county, and city, and they change. Early-generation cats (F1–F3) are regulated as exotic animals in many jurisdictions and prohibited in some. Even later-generation SBT Bengals are restricted in places, including New York City and Hawaii.

We label generation on listings so you have the information you need. We do not give legal advice, do not determine what is legal where you live, and are not responsible if a cat you buy turns out to be prohibited in your area. Confirm the rules with your local authority before you pay anyone. Any permits, licences, or registrations are yours to obtain.

5. We never handle your money

Kittenry does not take deposits, hold funds in escrow, process payments, or receive any commission on a sale. You pay the cattery directly.

This is deliberate — it keeps your card issuer's chargeback rights intact rather than routing your money through us. It also means we cannot refund you, reverse a payment, or recover funds on your behalf. If a transaction goes wrong, your remedies are with the cattery, your card issuer, and if necessary law enforcement.

6. Do your own diligence

You are buying a living animal, usually sight unseen, for a significant sum. Please treat our listing as a starting point and not the end of your research. At minimum, before paying anything:

  1. Do a live video call and ask for something specific and unplanned.
  2. Ask the breeder to send health results to you directly from the lab, or verify the order number yourself.
  3. Read the contract in full before paying a deposit.
  4. Pay by credit card so you keep your chargeback rights.
  5. Check your local ownership rules.

The buyer guide walks through all of this in detail. Purchases are made at your own discretion and risk.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kittenry and its operators are not liable for any loss, damage, injury, cost, or expense — direct or indirect — arising from your use of this site, from any listing, or from any dealing with any cattery found here. That includes money lost to fraud, veterinary costs, the death or illness of an animal, and legal consequences of ownership.

8. Breeders

Listed catteries are responsible for the accuracy of everything they give us and for keeping it current. Supplying falsified documentation, selling kittens under 12 weeks, or a pattern of substantiated buyer complaints will get a cattery removed without a refund. Listing is not an endorsement by us, and it is not transferable.

9. Reporting a problem

If a cattery listed here didn't match what we've published, please tell us at hello@kittenry.com. We investigate every report. This directory only works if people tell us when we've got it wrong.

10. Changes

We may update these terms. The "last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version. Continuing to use the site means you accept the current terms.
