TomiFerr Bengals
A cattery specializing exclusively in the genetic development of Bengal cats.
The breeders Edevar Tomiozzo Júnior and Maíra Ferrarin have always been passionate about cats, and from this passion the TomiFerr Bengal Cattery was born.
Edevar is the only Brazilian breeder who is a member of the international council for the Bengal breed at the International Feline Federation - FIFe.
With the goal of exclusively developing the genetics of Bengal cats, prioritizing health, temperament, and breed standard , they periodically participate in international-level feline beauty competitions , obtaining various evaluations from expert judges who analyze and suggest the best combinations for the genetic improvement of the Bengal breed.
The TomiFerr Bengal Cattery is located in the state of Santa Catarina , in the Southern region of Brazil. It is uniquely honored to be part of the KungsgardenCats team from Sweden , through an important partnership with breeder Ulrica Granlid (Ullis) . Together they have developed the current best genetic quality of Bengal cats in the world, WORLD CHAMPION 2022 and 2023 ( FIFe World Winner ), unique since 2009.
A non-profit organization aiming to develop, improve, and promote the Bengal breed with a focus on genetic excellence, Gatil TomiFerr Bengal is registered with the International Feline Federation (FIFe) , adhering to all ethical recommendations. It does not condone "backyard" breeding, cage breeding, uncontrolled reproduction, breeding females without recovery periods, inbreeding, or breeding without genetic testing and traceability. All proceeds from kitten sales are reinvested in genetic improvement and quality of life for the breeding stock and kittens.
Only thecub to a new family upon realizing that they will care for them with lots of love and care. Personal relationships with customers are positive, not ending with the sale of a puppy, asTomiFerr Bengals offers continuous support, through social networks, phone calls, emails and WhatsApp.
All stud dogs and dams are tested in the USA for genetic diseases csuch as Pyruvate Kinase Enzyme Deficiency (PKdef) and Progressive Bengal Retinal Atrophy (PRA-b). Diseases common in the Bengal breed, especially in Brazil where many breeders do not have genetic care in mating.
We deliver background checks, proving that the purchased puppy does not have the disease, and ensuring that it does not go blind or die prematurely, due to simple genetic carelessness.
Echocardiodoppler exams are also carried out annually to rule out possible Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) in all stud dogs and dams. Bengal cats of certain genetic lines that are not periodically tested have a high probability of developing the disease, which generally appears between 1.5 and 2 years of age, and is fatal.
Carrying out exams on stud dogs and dams is extremely important for managing crosses, ensuring greater genetic security for puppies.
TomiFerr Bengal Cattery is associated with the Brazilian Cat Club (CBG) , Gato Grupo and Gatarina Clube, members of the Brazilian Feline Federation (FFB) and the International Feline Federation (FIFe) , therefore it follows all recommendations, guidelines and rules, so all kittens are delivered only after 4 months of age and after neutering/spaying.
This measure, adopted internationally by serious breeders, aims to preserve the healthy development of the breed. Unneutered kittens are only available to "serious breeders" or those intending to become "serious breeders," and are delivered under contract and with breeding monitoring, adhering to all rules and guidelines, as per the TomiFerr Bengal Cattery breeding policy.
