Our 1-Year Bengal Kitten Health Guarantee
At Royal Bengal Paws, we understand how important your kitten's health and well-being are to your family. Learn about our one-year health guarantee, available health documentation, veterinary care and what to do if a concern arises.
A Health-Focused Start for Your Bengal Kitten
Welcoming a Bengal kitten into your home is a long-term commitment. Understanding your kitten's health history and ongoing care needs is an important part of that responsibility.
Royal Bengal Paws offers a one-year health guarantee for its kittens, subject to the terms of the written agreement.
We encourage prospective owners to review the guarantee carefully and request available veterinary documentation before completing a purchase.
A health guarantee provides contractual terms but cannot ensure that a kitten will never become ill.
Understanding Our One-Year Health Guarantee
The one-year health guarantee is intended to provide a written framework for addressing qualifying health concerns. Specific coverage, exclusions, documentation requirements and remedies are determined by the signed agreement.
Written Agreement
Review the health guarantee terms before completing your kitten purchase.
Veterinary Assessment
A licensed veterinarian can evaluate concerns and provide appropriate medical documentation.
Clear Communication
Contact Royal Bengal Paws with questions about the guarantee or a reported health concern.
What Health Information Should Buyers Review?
Before purchasing a Bengal kitten, buyers should understand what veterinary records and other documentation are available for their selected kitten.
Veterinary Records
Ask about available veterinary examination records and the kitten's documented health history.
Vaccination Information
Review any vaccinations already administered and discuss the next steps with your veterinarian.
Relevant Health Screening
Ask what screening or testing information is available for the kitten or its parents.
Health Conditions Bengal Owners Should Know About
Like other cat breeds, Bengals may be affected by inherited or acquired health conditions. Understanding breed-relevant concerns can help prospective owners ask informed questions.
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)
HCM is a heart condition involving thickening of the heart muscle. Veterinary cardiac screening may be relevant in breeding programs.
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA-b)
PRA-b is an inherited eye condition associated with progressive vision loss. Genetic testing may help identify relevant variants.
Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency
PK deficiency is an inherited condition that can affect red blood cells. Genetic testing can provide information about the relevant variant.

What to Do If You Have a Health Concern
If your kitten develops a concerning symptom or receives a veterinary diagnosis, prompt medical attention and clear documentation are important.
Contact Your Veterinarian
Seek veterinary advice promptly. Urgent symptoms require immediate veterinary attention.
Keep Medical Records
Retain examination findings, diagnostic results and relevant veterinary documentation.
Contact Royal Bengal Paws
Provide the kitten's name, identification number and relevant documentation so the concern can be reviewed under the agreement.
Does TICA Registration Guarantee a Healthy Bengal Kitten?
No. The International Cat Association (TICA) maintains cat registration and pedigree records, but registration alone does not guarantee a cat's health.
Buyers should consider registration information, available veterinary documentation and the written health guarantee as separate parts of the purchase process.
