Dedication to Low Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI)

We have a Low COI Focus – We place strong emphasis on breeding SBT Bengals with SBT Bengals which have a low coefficient of inbreeding (COI). This protects the future of the Bengal breed by ensuring diversity within our pedigree lines. Maintaining genetic variety is vital for the long-term health, welfare, and sustainability of the breed in Australia.

A low coefficient of inbreeding (COI) refers to the practice of pairing cats with minimal shared ancestry, resulting in kittens with greater genetic diversity. This is crucial because it reduces the risk of inherited health problems and strengthens the immune system, ultimately ensuring the Bengal breed remains healthy, robust, and vibrant for generations to come.

Our Bengal Cats are Heart Screened (HCM)

At Ashmiyah Bengal Cats, we place a strong emphasis on heart testing as a core part of our breeding program. This dedication ensures the wellbeing of our Bengal cats and gives every kitten the healthiest possible start in life.

We have been HCM testing since the early 2000s, ensuring generations of healthy, reliable bloodlines.

✅ Heart Screening (HCM) – Our breeding cats receive a full echocardiogram by a specialist cardiologist every two years to screen for heart soundness and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). This condition affects the heart muscle in some Bengals, By regularly performing these scans, we ensure that only cats with confirmed heart health and specialist approval are included in our breeding program.

DNA Health Tested – UC Davis in California

We have DNA Test for known genetic conditions since the conception of our breeding program. This has all been done at UC Davis in California as they are known for test accuracy.

✅ DNA Testing – We ensure the genetic health of our Bengal breeding cats through a rigorous DNA testing protocol. All breeding Bengals in our program are either direct descendants of cats previously tested or, if they represent new bloodlines without verified and up-to-date results, they are tested at UC Davis in California.

✅ PRA-b (Progressive Retinal Atrophy) – a hereditary eye disease causing vision loss.

✅ PK Deficiency (PK-Def) – a genetic disorder affecting red blood cells.

This commitment helps us continue to cultivate healthy, thriving bloodlines within our cattery.

✅ Routine Health & Viral Screening – Cats are vet-checked regularly, vaccinated, microchipped, and treated prophylactically for any conditions that could be passed on to kittens via their mother’s care during gestation, birth and development.

This robust program gives our Bengal kittens a strong, healthy foundation for life.
