Fianna Bengals

Kittens available!

2011-09-06T11:59:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone!

I wanted to let everyone know that we have kittens available. Because of my disability due to surgery complications it is hard for me to get around (for those of you that do not know I am currently in a wheelchair) let alone take kitten pictures, but with the help of a dear friend we took a few. The kittens pictured are all male, but we have females available too. If interested please email me at mhgilliam@yahoo.com with KITTENS in the subject line.

Brown marble female Bengal available!

2011-02-20T20:01:00.000-08:00

This is PG (Pretty Girl). She is a gorgeous brown marble tabby Bengal. She has an awesome pattern and beautiful face. Her pattern is super open and rosetted and has a great horizontal flow. She has an outstanding temperatment and is very, very sweet. She is available as a show/breeder and possibly as an outstading pet or show alter.

2011-01-30T17:11:00.000-08:00

I have three gorgeous brown marble girls available right now. Their sire is my very special boy CH Fianna Smoke on the Water. I am in love with this cat. He sleeps with me, cuddles with me, was my pick of the litter when he was born and I love him to death. His temperament is second to none and he passes this on to his kittens. The dam is my 5 year old girl Bengaland Spirit Chaser of Fianna. She is one of the foundation cats of my breeding program and she continues to produce awesome kittens. Please contact me if you are interested in any of these babies.

PG (Pretty Girl)
PG is my pick of the litter. She is a gorgeous cat with an outstanding pattern, very light belly, and a wonderful personality. She is available as a show/breeder or possibly as a cutting edge pet. I am also willing to trade for an outcross brown marble female. She cannot be related closely to the Zendada lines. Head type is very important to me and I especially want a straight profile and a strong chin. I may also consider a brown spotted female that definitely carries for marble. In a brown spotted girl I want smaller spots/rosettes, great contrast, acerage, and excellent horizontal flow. I have a keeper show boy right now that really needs a girlfriend! I will consider kittens as well as young adult females.

Speedy Girl

This is Speedy. She has a lovely pattern as well with great horizontal flow. She has more rufousing like her mom. She is very sweet, playful and just a lovely kitten. UPDATE: Speedy has now been reserved for a wonderful family!

Lil (Little Girl)

This is Lil, she ihas a gorgeous pattern too. As her name implies, she is the smallest, but has the BIGGEST personality. She is not scared of anything and is very adventurous.

New Kittens and Retirement

2009-12-23T20:04:00.000-08:00

So we have new kittens again. Moonie has blessed us once again with 7 beautiful babies. Her last two litters have been with our silver spotted boy Shadow, but this time we decided to go back to our outstanding brown marble boy Catch. We had pretty much decided that this would be Moonie's last litter, but then she decided to give us her best litter yet! I could not be more thrilled with these babies, especially the silver marbles. I am working so hard to improve the silver marble, and I think these babies are just fabulous!

Our lovely silver spotted girl Bluewater Umbra of Fianna is being retired and was spayed today. She had 2 great litters for us, but just had trouble keeping on weight when nursing and keeping enough milk. She is going to a wonderful forever pet home and her little guy Angus from her last litter will be going with her! We are very happy with our decision especially as we transition our breeding program to focus on marbles exclusively. We will miss our sweet, sweet girl Umbra, but know she is going to a great home!

Pegasus and Pup

2009-10-28T12:39:00.000-07:00

This is CH Fianna Celtic Flyer of MacEnvi or "Pegasus." This girl went over to Scotland after the long pet passport process and being bred to my male CH Balicats Silver Shadow of Fianna. Pegasus was voted Breeders' Choice Best Silver Kitten at On Safari last year. I am very proud of this girl and it was so sad when she finally went to Scotland, but I have gained a dear friend in the form of Gillian Cain from MacEnvi Bengals. She had her kittens a couple weeks after arriving and apparantly has taken a special liking to one of Gillian's Chihuahua puppies. I thought these pictures were just adorable!

Baroness: 11 Weeks

2009-10-26T17:36:00.000-07:00

This is Baroness. She is a "soft silver" with hardly a speck of tarnish on her. She has a beautiful straight profile and her pattern is falling out. She is a larger girl and very sweet.

Zarana: 11 Weeks

2009-10-26T13:40:00.000-07:00

This is Zarana. She is INTENSELY black and white, she is sheeted, but her pattern is falling out more and more. She is very spunky and was the first to do everything, eat, use the litterbox, explore outside the kitten box, etc.

Lady Jay: 11 Weeks

2009-10-26T13:31:00.000-07:00

This is Lady Jay. She has a very wild look about her. Her profile is almost completely straight and she has light ocelli on the backs of her ears, more defined than I have seen on any of my other kittens. She is VERY vocal, especially when she is hungry.

Scarlett: 11 weeks

2009-10-26T13:20:00.000-07:00

This is Scarlett. She is the runt of the litter but is very fiesty! She is a total lap baby and loves to cuddle any chance she gets. She has a very warm, reddish brown tone to her fur. She is available at a very reasonable price, especially if she is purchased with one of her sisters.

Favorite Photos

2009-10-22T18:31:00.000-07:00

I wanted to post some of my favorite photos that I have taken over the years. Many times my pets and adult Bengals get overshadowed by all the pictures I take of kittens so I thought I would show off some of my adults and my beloved pets.

This is Khole and Blizzard. They are littermates and were my first Bengals, what got me started in my love for this breed. They are almost five years old and still love each other so much. I will never regret getting littermates and recommend it to anyone getting their first Bengals as pets. They are absolutely our "fur children." Blizzard, or Tailwinds Moonlit Snow of Fianna, is our Seal Lynx point boy and definitely my husband's cat. Khole, or Tailwinds Solar Flare of Fianna, is my baby. His favorite place to sleep is ON TOP of me.

This is our melanistic girl Guin. She had two litters of beautiful kittens for us before she was retired. She has one of the BEST tails I have ever seen on a Bengal. We still have her and she is my silver stud Shadow's companion so he does not get lonely when he does not have any visiting "girlfriends."

I just love this picture of Blizzard. He is one of the reasons I love Lynx points so much, I just LOVE those blue eyes!

This is our stud boy Shadow, or CH Balicats Silver Shadow of Fianna. He is a very sweet boy and LOVES his girlfriends! He and Guin are best buddies and when I retire him I will place them together.

This is Catch, or RW SGC Zendada Sun Catcher of Fianna. This is the classic Zendada "laughing face." There are many other pictures of other Zendada cats making the exact same face. I just love it!

This is my other fur child Harley. He is a white miniature schnauzer. He actually gets along great with the cats, especially our up and coming stud boy Smokey. I don't think any animal could love a human as much as this dog loves me and the feeling is mutual. He is my baby for sure!

This is Catch with our silver spotted girl CH Bluewater Umbra of Fianna when she was a kitten. Catch has always been so great with kittens, male or female. He warms right up to them and never shies away from a cuddle.

This is Danny with one of my all time favorite kittens Tater, or Fianna Fine Design of Adventure Beach. Tater was our girl Chase's second litter and she was a singleton. She was so full of herself, confidant, playful, and just a joy of a kitten to have!

This is definitely NOT a flattering picture of me, but I love how Catch is snuggling with me. He absolutely LOVES to snuggle and especially loves cat shows when he gets me almost to himself

Danny cuddling with two kittens. Danny is so great with the kittens and they always just LOVE him. I can not tell you how many pictures I have of kittens sleeping, climbing, or generally hanging off of Danny!

This is my parents' cat Spencer cuddling with Fianna Quite the Catch of Bahiya, or Sushi, when she was a kitten. Spencer was out of Chase's first litter and was a gift to my parents. Spencer just took to this kitten and hung onto her most of the night while we were visiting.

Chase, or Bengaland Spirit Chaser of Fianna, talking to her kittens. Chase is very mouthy and talks to her kittens all the time. It is very cute to watch!

What's wrong with this picture? This is NOT these kittens' mama! The girl is CH Bosquebengals Moondancer of Fianna, or Moonie. Moonie LOVES being a mom so much she will pretty much let any kitten nurse from her.

Harley likes to climb the cat tree too. I love this picture because the kitten just seems to be looking at Harley and thinking, "what are you doing up here?"

Another hotel photo with Catch and Umbra. All my cats LOVE hotels and love going to shows because they take over the beds! Usually Danny and I get two beds so the cats have more space to sleep.

Catch and Moonie belly up! I love grabbing photos when the cats are asleep. I can usually find them in pretty amusing poses.

8 month old silver female available

2009-10-14T12:25:00.000-07:00

This is Fianna Smoke and Mirrors, or Rosalie. She is out of our CH Balicats Silver Shadow of Fianna and CH Bluewater Umbra of Fianna. We were going to keep her for our own program but have decided to make her available for a very reasonable price. She has no tarnish and a super soft, lush coat. She is 8 months old.

Pictures of Available Kittens

2009-10-13T16:44:00.000-07:00

These kittens are from CH Balicats Silver Shadow of Fianna and CH Bosquebengals Moondancer of Fianna. They are ready for their new homes around Halloween. They are very reasonably priced.

This is Snake Eyes. He is the biggest of the kittens and LOVES to purr. He has such a cute face and a great head and profile. He has only a bit of tarnish down his back.

This is Lady Jay. There is just something about this kitten's face I love. It is so wild looking to me. Her profile is awesome and I love her cool brown color.

This is Scarlett, she is the runt of the litter but such a lap baby. She is available under special circumstances, contact me for details if you are interested in her.

This is Zarana. She is a little girl, but very sweet. She is intensely black and silver.

This is Baroness. She is a "soft" silver but I love her pattern. She has a gorgeous profile as well.

This is Jinx. She is a little tarnished but has great rosettes. She is also incredibly fiesty!

Playful Odin

2009-10-13T07:23:00.000-07:00

Here is a video of Chase and Catch's baby Odin. Odin is reserved for Nichole in Knoxville. Odin has been my buddy since he could walk around. He loves to climb in my lap when I am sitting at the computer.
