Are Bengal Cats Good Or Bad Pets?

8. They Are Expensive Pets

Bengals are expensive pets. Their value depends on their generation F-number, the coloring of the coat and markings, and if the breeder has won awards for their Bengals.

A female F1 kitten can cost from $2,000 to $10,000. An F1 male sells for less at around $1,500 because they are always born sterile. F2 and F3 generations cost from $1,500 to $5,000 USD. Most Bengal pets are F6 or higher F-number, and the price for these kittens rarely drops lower than $1,500.

Coat color and patterning also factor into their value. The snow Bengal is the rarest coat type and is the most expensive. Bengals with spotted markings are popular now, which has pushed up their cost.
