TESTIMONIALS

We are so thankful for each and everyone of our families that have chosen to adopt and spoil one, if not several of our Bengal Babies. We have met so many wonderful people who have only further enriched our Bengal experience. Thank you for the kind words you continuously share with us and the public!

Many of our kitten owners couldn't get enough becoming second (2 stars)  and third ( 3 stars ) time kitten or retired adult owners!

Alexa R. June 30, 2024 ★★
This is my second kitten from Meghan with Elysian Bengals that joined my breeding program. I would always recommend her to anyone looking for a healthy, well socialized and fun Bengal baby. She is always so helpful for learning pet parents, fellow breeders and offer lifetime support.


Sophia. P. June 30 2024 ★★★
I’ve been really happy with both of my cats! They came well socialized and adjusted quickly without any trouble. They’ve been a joy to live with and Meghan has been and continues to be a fantastic resource.


Saray Dean June 30, 2024
I really enjoyed the live videos and updates on all of the kittens, not just the one we got. I felt like there was a connection made between buyer and seller. I also enjoyed the communication before and after purchasing a cat and the group with fellow Elysian Bengal owners. I found it [the books] very informational and I appreciated a breeder who took the time to help out a new cat owner. When I got our other cat she just gave her to use and had us sign the contract with no tips or information. Elysian Bengals was the best choice we could’ve made when looking for our second cat. The owner and breeder was very friendly and informative when we first connected and specially chose a kitten she knew would thrive best in our home. It was an absolute pleasure working with her and continuing to hear from her and others who have kittens. We will always be grateful for Elysian Bengals!


Jillian L. June 30, 2024 ★★
I’m apart of a general bengal cat group and all too often I see people posting about how their cats have a lot of behavioral problems. I’ve never once had any with the boys I’ve gotten from Megan. They are both so sweet and special. Bengals from Elysian are unlike any others. Well mannered and sweet, these cats have something incredibly special about them. I’ve never once experienced “bengal issues” such as behavioral problems or aggression with any of Megan’s cats. They’re very intelligent and will keep you on your toes but have an instinctually empathy I’ve never had in a cat companion before.


Jessica D. June 30, 2024 ★★
Your responsiveness and willing to work with us when Cortana had her issues. You supported us fully and didn't blame or shame. Heero is exactly as described. Bengals are a very popular breed. It's hard to shift through and find an ethical breeder that checks all the boxes: shows, health tests (heart and genetic screening), socializes and offers full breeder support. So many cut corners whether in showing or health testing. Elysian Bengals truly loves the breed and kittens they produce and breeds for the betterment of the breed. Their commitment is apparent in every aspect of the cattery. They set a high standard and I'm so happy we got kittens from them.


Sarah W. June 30, 2024
Seven has turned out to be an extremely confident and loving cat!


Jennifer O. June 30, 2024 ★★
We own 2 cats from Elysian Bengals. When I started my search for an NR breeder, Elysian became my top choice. The transparency and communications with Meghan have surpassed any experience I've ever had with a breeder of any species. She excels at being a true representation of the breed, and her knowledge cannot be beat. She cares deeply about bettering the breed and works with owners from first communications throughout your bengal owning experience. Cannot recommend highly enough. I traveled from Canada to pick up my second bengal from Meghan. I hope to own another from her, one day! [The Book was] Thorough and enough valid information that I passed on to my once conventional cat vet. He's now recommending everyone feeds raw! I wish I had this when I got my first bengal! NR! Communications! Transparency! A true love for the breed and striving to improve genetics.


Aaron H. June 30, 2024
Elysian Bengals is amazing! Amazing, healthy, happy, and beautiful kittens. They have stayed involved with all of their kittens


Macy F. July 1, 2024 ★★★
Meghan is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to her cats. She goes above and beyond to provide the best care possible. I have had the privilege of getting to know Meghan as a friend over the years, and the amount of love she has for her cats is second to none. She will never hesitate to do what is best for her cattery, and that is something I find incredibly valuable. She is a breeder that considers the best interest of her cats in every single decision.How much you care for the kittens and genuinely want was it best for them. I greatly appreciate the care you provide them including feeding raw & not vaccinating. But above everything, the amount of love you have for your cats & kittens was incredibly evident and what I valued most. I always knew you would do what was in the best interest of the animals!


Amelia S. July 1, 2024 ★★
I absolutely love my two boys from Elysian Bengals! Logi (Jumanji) and Koda (Nazar) are exactly as she described. They are so incredibly sweet and laid back for the breed. They love to cuddle and be loved on. Elysian cares about every single one of their cats and is a great wealth of information and help. They truly want the very best for their cats. You can tell that this cattery runs on passion and love. They are truly special. I love them both! The kitten book is perfect for new owners and there is nothing on the market that even compares to the information in the recipe book! Love it! The passion for cat health. The hours of reading materials on the website, the book, how much you care about every single cat. I was interested in getting one eventually but wanted to wait until I had less cats and my health problem cats passed. Then you slashed prices and I absolutely had to get them both! It will definitely be a while before I get more cats, but if you're breeding in 5-9yrs I definitely will consider getting another. My main thing is keeping my cat expenses reasonable (food/vet) and 6 cats is definitely my limit. 4 is definitely a very comfortable number but that didn't last very long last time.. I added my two boys from you!! :)


Marc G. July 1, 2024
Elysian Bengals was an outstanding breeder to work with. From picking the kitten to the time I got my kitten home was great. They provided great updates every week, live video sessions with the kittens, lots of socialization and information on nutrition. I would recommend them 100% for someone looking for a Bengal kitten! I think the cats are first class. They are well socialized and gorgeous. You provided tons of information and the life video sessions were great.


Lynnette W. ★★★
Elysian Bengals is very knowledgeable about the breed, their cats and don't cut any corners! I now have 3 cats from Elysian Bengals all from different litters. They all have bonded well with each other and our crazy busy family life. Thank you so much for all you do with your program! You are very knowledgeable and don't cut corners in your breeding program. I had called multiple breeders and they all cut corners at some point! Congrats!!


Rosa Elena R. July 1, 2024 ★★
Ony/Chitsa has been a delight and a terror (normal for a kitten) she is super loving, and let me handle her easily. She had to have an extensive treatment (FIP) and endured it like a champ letting me give her a shot every morning without me having to fear it. Meghan was super responsive and a wealth of information and a great support during a stressful time. Even though she contracted FIP at no point I blame her, as I understand it can develop for external factors. She has been super supportive and guided me to find the help we needed and at the end I have an amazing kitten that is a joy! I would recommend her anytime to prospective owners.


Clarence S. July 1, 2024 ★★★
Very beautiful kittens and Meghan is very nice. I highly recommend Elysian Bengals! Meghan is absolutely wonderful! I bought three kittens from Meghan. My first was a silver Bengal Suri. Then I bought a brown charcoal Bengal Zenith and a brown Bengal Caspian. They are all three amazing and beautiful cats. Unfortunately I don’t have room for more then three otherwise I would absolutely buy another! I think our whole experience was wonderful so I don’t see a need for improvement.


Jared M. July 1, 2024
I was very pleased with Elysian Bengals, and Nova is my first cat and I love having her around, a great addition to my family!


Cindy. A July 1, 2024
If I were younger, I wouldn't hesitate to get another kitten. Gypsy is purrfect!


April H. July 1, 2024 ★★
I skimmed through them [the books] to be honest . I feel like before zoe came, you had answered and gave me all the info I felt I needed when it came to feeding raw. You even helped me address concerns I had with Gemma who I got just before zoe and she wasn't even from you. I appreciate that! The love and care you put into the babies! You can absolutely tell that it's not just about money. When we got into the vehicle with zoe, one of the first things my honey said to me was : if we ever get another bengal, we're going through Meghan (and we did! ) I loved how you answered all my questions without judgment and you were very thorough. I love the compassion you have for the babies. I loved the pictures and the videos. I love the check ins. I love the calendar and how you have the Facebook group for all the owners. I love how you are so on top of who all the babies are, you remember the names you gave and then their new names. Idk how the hell you do that! I love that you are honest and trustworthy. We never even met but right away I could tell you were a straight up open and honest person. I was actually kinda sad when you posted you weren't gonna be breeding anymore. Not that I need anymore cats right now lol but should I ever, I'll be reaching out to you regardless! As I'm typing this, Zoe is curled up in my lap. And they told me bengals weren't lap cats! They are when Meghan is their other mama! Breed again lol. Otherwise nothing, I have no complaints!!!


Nirvana P. July 1, 2024
I loved it [the book] as I’ve adopted other cats and have never been provided in depth information of the breeder or the cats. Great details of what to expect, how to keep the kitties entertained, healthy, and some home remedies. Information that I look back at every now and then that would have taken me a very long time to research and verify the source by myself. Super transparent and open: got to see my baby grow up even though I wasn’t there. The love for the cats: breeding wasn’t just to make money there was true love and passion. The knowledge and education: I was provided with or had access to a lot of information I never knew. I would highly recommend Elysian Bengals (if they start breeding again)! From start to finish, my experience was outstanding. I received extensive information about the health and care of Bengals that I hadn't known before. I had the pleasure of watching little Onyx (formerly Balthazar) grow from birth until I could bring him home. He is not only adorable but also a sweet and playful boy who quickly bonded with my other cats. Meghan is incredibly passionate, knowledgeable, and caring, even sending birthday wishes for Onyx. Start breeding again in a couple years when we want another kitty (lol). I don't have anything its been a great experience.


Racquel F. July 1, 2024
Meghan picked out exactly the cat I was looking for! She made the entire process of purchasing and shipping my cat to me extremely easy. Loved receiving weekly pictures and updates on my cat! Sterling has the best personality! Love how friendly Sterling was. He has a great personality and is exactly what I was looking for. You made the entire process very easy


Chris R. July 1, 2024 ★★
Nothing negative to report, I love these fur babies, the breeder is such an amazing person, she did such a great job with these fur babies, she’s such a caring loving person, she has such good knowledge about about animals, and raw feeding, all the information she sent home with you kittens was great information to know .


Cheri P. June 30, 2024
She is the sweetest calmest cat I’ve ever seen. Nothing fazes her, she isn’t afraid of anything and lets the neighbors little girl (she’s 2) pick her up and love on her as much as she wants. She usually sleeps cuddled up with Freja all night. Rho is spoiled to no end.


Kat. W June 30, 2024 ★★
Elysian Bengals goes above and beyond to produce healthy and well-socialized kittens. Not only are they beautiful but they have amazing personalities. On top of that, Meg cares about all the kittens and has been helpful and supportive as any additional questions and situations have come up. Many, many thanks!


Ashley G. July 14, 2024
Elysian Bengals are the best! They have the most socialized and beautiful cats. Elysian bengals has also taught me how to raw feed, and helped me troubleshoot transitioning my other cats to raw feeding. They have an extensive health testing system that ensures their cats are set up for healthy, happy lives. 100% would recommend! I liked that you were very knowledgeable in my cattery goals! I also was extremely impressed in the health tested you provided. Your care and dedication to your cats definitely shows based on the kitten I purchased.


Sylka J. July 27, 2024
Meghan is extremely passionate about Bengal cats. She supports you in any step of the process, answer questions, helps you understanding every single aspect about your new baby cat. I had really bad experiences in my past with another breeder and Meghan, without knowing me, stepped in to supports me when crying about the lost of my first 2 cats. I will always be grateful with her, because of Chemo and because the way she is, so professional, amazing and supportive. She is the best one and anyone looking for a Bengal cat will go to love her and will never regrets about having a Bengal from her.

Amber H. January 15, 2023
I love that this is the most extensive application that I've had to fill out for a pet. I realize that having 2 young kids might hurt our application odds. We talked to a bengal rescue local to us and they won't consider adopting to us due to our kids being so young. Your website is great and very informative. I especially like that you let people know that it's not always rainbows and sunshine and make them aware that there could be behavioral issues with the cats. Socialization is very important and I'm glad that you keep the kittens as long as you do before they go to their new homes. We need a breeder that is available for any questions and concerns that may come up. I don't want someone that just sells me a cat and deletes my contact info. Reading the testimonials on here and your Facebook page that doesn't seem to be the case at all.


Alexa R. January 31, 2023 ★★
I met Elysian Bengals in 2020. I was kindly educated and mentored to learn in depth about the breed and how to improve my own breeding program. In 2022, I got a Genesis x Soahc daughter and couldn’t be happier with this girls personality and beautiful attributes to the breed. Meghan has become my biggest cheerleader and she inspires me to continue improving!


Lorie R. January 30, 2023
Easy to work with, knowledgeable and informative throughout adoption process. Highly recommend!


Lauren B. January 31, 2023
Very responsive and ethical breeder who cares about where their cats go and that they are well matched to their families bc our cat is a perfect match for us. He is so loving and cuddly. We had a very good experience with our first bengal


Jade. H January 31, 2023 ★★
Meghan is always attentive and responsive to any of my questions and ‘needs’. She works closely with you to ensure that the kitten you choose is purrfect for you. Meghan is extremely passionate and knowledgeable to which I appreciate beyond words. I have two kittens from her and she has always been attentive and very direct with their needs. I couldn’t ask for a better breeder!


Brandon C. January 31, 2023 ★★
It was overall a Great experience getting my two kittens even though I didn't expect to get two. It however was an amazing journey and I have recommended and will continue to recommend Elysian to anyone looking!


Sophia P. March 13, 2023 ★★
So a couple years ago I was given an adult Bengal by a friend of mine and made a post in one of the purebred groups asking for help with some behavioral issues. This was my first cat and I felt way out of my element. Meghan Waals answered my post and spent weeks trouble shooting and supporting me, despite having no connection to me or this cat, other then it being a Bengal. As a breeder myself, it really meant something to be that another breeder would care so much about her breed to go the extra mile for a total stranger. Fast forward to now and I own three Elysian Bengals, two of which are show quality cats we co own together. We spend hours discussing pedigrees and genetics within our respective programs and have learned so much from each other. I consider Meghan one of my closest friends and wanted to share how we met and this photo of her cuddling with one of my afghans at my house this weekend. As breeders, we like to say we’re the stewards of our breed, but how many of us go the extra mile to help people new in our breed when there’s no clear benefit for us personally? I think it’s easy to get caught up in the drama and politics of working and raising dogs and forget that we were once that new person, starting with something because we struggled to get established people to take us seriously. Yes, sometimes it takes more time and energy to be nice, and there might not be obvious gain for you, but it most likely will mean everything to that person. 💜

So I’ve come to the conclusion that bengals are like twice exceptional children. They sound good to most and I’m guessing are a bad fit for most as well. Most people (aside from committed bengal owners and really smart dog breed owners) really want average. Smart pets are a handful. I’m grateful I have a lot of educational training. I see how amazing and how freaking brilliant bengals are at baseline and understand they need challenges, mental stimulation and games to stay out of trouble. They are such a handful but I absolutely love watching their little minds calculate and figure things out (they are horrible liars) and happily intervene if they are setting themselves up for potential injury. I absolutely adore Kona and Kai. They are incredibly intelligent, interesting, interested and social. One of them is always at my feet and they are both such good “helpers.” 😁 when they can’t find me, they call for me and then rub all over me like it’s been weeks ❤️ Both are exceptionally affectionate as well. Very efficient biscuit makers! Their antics make me giggle, shake my head and Smile. There is nothing average about the average bengal. I know how much work you put into your kittens and we are reaping the rewards of such a fantastic start. Thank you again. Bengals. Unapologetic. Magical. Exceptional.

Caryl B. May 5, 2022 ★★
I have 2 cats from Elysian Bengals. They are amazing animals. They love their humans and cuddle time. We’ll mannered for nail clippings and socialized to the point even the Vet remarks how well they were raised. Meghan is so supportive of our needs before and during the selection process of the animals and following their progress. I would highly recommend and will be back for more.
Caryl B. May 5, 2022 ★★


Jillian L. May 5, 2022
Such a passionate and dedicated breeder. Meghan obviously wants the very best for her babies and goes above and beyond for them. I’ve actually been recommending the cattery to anyone who mentions wanting a cat like Cas.
Jillian L. May 5, 2022


Angie G. ★★
The amount of care that goes into the cats. It's obvious from just interacting with them that they are 100% confident and loving animals. Not even the vacuum can scare them. That's a first. Also the transparency and understanding. Any question you might have is answered. If you're looking for a breeder that will be with you through every step of the process, contact Elysian Bengals. Meghan and the team that went into raising and socializing these cats are absolutely phenomenal. Joker and Revali are practically bomb proof and take new situations in stride. I've never owned more confident or smart cats in my life before. They love everyone they meet and everyone loves them. I recommend Elysian Bengals to everyone who is looking for a bengal.
Angie G. ★★


Ro T. May 5, 2022
The transparency was key to me choosing your cattery. You are very knowledgeable and seem to care rather than just doing it for the money. My kitten from Elysian Bengals changed my life. Getting to watch the kittens develop emotionally and socially in videos made me feel solidified in my kitten choice. Seeing the stimuli exposure list helped assure me that I was bringing a well adjusted cat home, Previous cats I I’ve had in my life had unknown attitudes to me because the shelters or catteries were not transparent. Communication was great, and the next time I’m looking for another kitty companion I will be heavily considering Elysian again
Ro T. May 5, 2022


Laine B. May 5, 2022
The excellent communication and the beauty of the kittens. Elysian Bengals was an amazing experience. They made the whole process enjoyable, and I could not be more pleased with my cat.
Laine B. May 5, 2022


Sophie K. May 5, 2022
Meghan is amazing and so very responsive to any little requests I had. I don’t know how she does all that she does at once. Tango is a cat full of temperament, love, curiosity and fits right into our little circus. He obviously had a great “childhood” as he is not afraid of anything and very flexible. Our cat is everything we hoped for and more! Megan helped us pick the perfect one for our family and we could not be more pleased. Even though we never met him before he got delivered we had so much information (month worth of pics, videos and Meghan’s opinion) that we had a pretty good idea of who we were getting. He arrived well adjusted, curious, affectionate and so much more. He is forgiving with my youngest child which speaks volumes. Thank you so much for all you have done for us Meghan!
Sophie K. May 5, 2022


Raven W. May 5, 2022 ★★
The weekly videos / live videos were amazing! The communication and knowledge of the breed throughout the whole process made us feel at ease. We were a bit nervous bringing home 2 kittens, especially of a new and such high energy breed, but we have had the most amazing experience and know it was the best decision we could have made Meghan does such an amazing job with her kittens. They were well socialized and adapted so quickly to their new home! We were surprised at how comfortable and sweet they were the second they came in the door. They’re so sweet and greet everyone they meet with a head but and purrs. The process was so easy and the communication was absolutely incredible. Would 10/10 recommend Elysian Bengals to everyone and wouldn’t go to anyone else! Update: I have to give you kudos in exposure to the “scaries” when it comes to sounds especially with these babies! So yesterday (my birthday of all days) our apartment flooded! We live on the 3rd floor so this is something I never thought I’d have to deal with BUT never say never I guess. The apartment above us had some issues with their water heater and it exploded on them yesterday and flooded all of the floors below! (I’ll attach a video to show you what we came home to). In the midst of all of the raining indoors AND the maintenance people in and out to clean up all of the water and dry out the apartment, the boys have been nothing but sweet towards them, curious, and such good boys! The big dryers were a tad s

Meghan has devoted every fiber of her being to making sure you get the healthiest, friendliest, smartest, most socialized, beautiful kittens, that you can possibly adopt.. And that is exactly what I got. Two amazing kittens. I would never adopt anywhere else.


Vanessa R. May 13, 2022
Meghan is absolutely amazing!! She's very professional at what she does. My kitten Stella is very social and a very sweet baby. Meghan has answered everything I've asked her to the best of her knowledge. This cattery is absolutely the best!!!


Kellie N. November 15, 2022
Finnegan is amazing!  We love him so much and he's got the most amazing personality.  Although he's not a lap cat, he loves attention and head rubs. He lays by me on the bed and cuddles at night.  He follows me around the house and he's definitely my baby.


Emily D. December 16, 2022
Thank you for trusting me with your kitten Meghan! He is an absolutely amazing boy. He did so well through the airport and plane flight - I was incredibly impressed. He is a self assured, happy, and inquisitive kitty - an absolutely fantastic temperament. He is settling in so easily. He's already learned how to sit - much smarter than some dogs I've worked with. I am so excited for everything we will do and experience in the future together! We are just going to have so much fun.

Adrianna J. March 16, 2021
I wish I had discovered Elysian Bengals sooner. I would have gotten all of my Bengals from Meghan! My girl Khaleesi is so smart and so much fun and of course beautiful. She loves to play with all her "siblings" and cuddles with me every day. She cannot go without sleeping in my lap. She is a true companion and is just a joy to have.

The dedicated areas in her house, her cats. How much time and effort she puts into all the cats. She remembers every single kitten, their litter name, new name and new parent name. This is someone who is passionate.

I cannot recommended Meghan at Elysian Bengals enough!

The relationship that Meghan has with her families who purchase a kitten. She always responds quickly to emails. Meghan is Extremely knowledgeable, so dedicated to her kitties. Meghan is always striving to make things better and constantly looking on how to keep Elysian Bengals the best cattery. Meghan is 100% committed to her cats and their owners.

 There’s not enough time or space to write how wonderful Elysian Bengals is. I am completely in love and couldn’t be happier with my cat and the experience with Elysian Bengals. If you are finally ready and decided to join the family of Bengal lovers you have to be a part of Elysian Bengals. I can promise, you won’t be disappointed. All questions, concerns and advice are always addressed promptly to satisfy your needs

Elysian Bengal is an outstanding company. The knowledge and love for bengal cats is satisfying when you are looking for a bengal kitten. They provide weekly pictures and videos of your kitten from the time they are born to the time you receive your kitten. The community of elysian bengal owners os amazing, to see how each and everyone has there own special personalities is great. year ago i got the most loving cat a person can ask for. He is truly the best and i couldnt be any happier with the decision i made. I dont consider elysian bengals to be just an ordinary business, i consider them a family.

I am beyond thankful I was referred to your cattery. The quickness or responses, communication was amazing, and the constant updates on the kittens was much appreciated. The page was easy to navigate and constant updates and posts on Facebook make it easy to see how our new baby was. I also really like that you stay in contact even after I received Gryffin and the Facebook page for all your breeders is fun and great for staying in touch and seeing how all your different parings are growing and changing. I would 100% recommend you to anyone else and I look forward to eventually buying a charcoal from you. The social skills of your kittens is outstanding and you can tell you put your time and love into each and every kitten. Thanks for all you did with Gryffin he’s my baby.

Overall knowledge of the breed also we're on the same wavelength as far as feeding and vaccinating cats go so I really appreciate it that there were other contracts that I have seen where it required multiple vaccinations and other nasty things for the cats that I wasn't interested in and I'm glad that we're on the same page. My first Bengal was not from Elysian. I was astonished at how well socialized my kitten was from Elysian. There was no adjustment. He did not hide he did not need to be acclimated to a new place he was instantly friendly with all of my kids my dogs everybody. To this day he is my cuddle boy he plays fine with my other Bengal when she wants to play he plays with the dogs when they want to play he does his own thing he's perfect I cannot wait to get my next cat. I'm being objective here and there is nothing that I think could be improved on the contact that you have with your cat families is fantastic. The information you provide is fantastic. Kovu came home with fleas from the pet transport thing you offered to reimburse me for my stuff to clean my house which was insane obviously I did not take you up on that but your passion bleeds out everywhere and I appreciate it.

From our first phone conversation I knew Elysian Bengals was going to be where I was going to get our Bengal addition from. Meghan doesn't cut corners to save money she does the best for her cattery. Another cattery told me to save money to feed raw in AM and kibble in PM. You didn't mind me asking questions and actually thanked me for asking the questions I did. You have a lot of info on website which helped but talking one on one was the icing on the cake for me. Thank you! When we brought our Sir Louie home he took no time to warm up our crazy household. He fit right in with our two senior DSH cats, 2 chinchillas, Rottweilers, turkeys, and four special needs children. He bonded himself right to our daughter. At night time if he can sneak into our son's room he'll sleep with one of our sons. I can't thank Meghan enough for her amazing socialization program! I have never done raw diets for any of my pets before. Well I'm into a year of it and going great! We started out purchasing pre made meals and now we make over half our proteins ourselves. Meghan has great resources to help you be successful with a balance raw diets.

Macy F. October 3, 2021 ★★
I adopted Hex, who was a special needs kitten. Meghan did a wonderful job communicating everything about Hex’s needs & requirements. She consistently facetimed me and kept me up to date with his needs/condition. It is clear how much Meghan cares for her kittens. She truly is willing to go above and beyond for them, and does everything in her power to get them prepared for life! She gives them an amazing start to life with raw food & her holistic approach to medicine. Meghan is a wonderful breeder whose love and kindness is very evident!!

Lacy M. and Maddy S. October 3, 2021 ★★★★★★
Before I got the boys it was the videos and pictures and all the questions answered. After it was that I have the best boys. Even when they are bad they are still my best boys. Hank is just a love bug. He has to be with us. He must be loved. Charles LOVES Maddy. He has given her something noone else has. Charles is her cat and she needed that. That's the whole reason we got our first cat. But she didn't get that with them. And honestly I think Charles knows that. Jack is just bad. 🤣🤣🤣 But NOT with Elsa. It's honestly amazing. So that's what stands out now. When you get a kitten from Elysian Bengals you aren't just getting a Bengal, you're getting a family member.

Elysian Bengals provided us with all of the information, insight, and support we needed before, during, and after we welcomed Mason into our home. He is loving and EXTREMELY healthy, and our vet is amazed at how well he behaves during exams and such. We love him!

Getting a kitten from Elysian Bengals was wonderful experience. Lots of transparency throughout the whole process. Meghan is very responsive and was able to answer all of our questions. Love the amount of information that made me feel prepared to provide a great home for our new addition. The kittens seem very well loved and socialized and healthy. My vet commented that they've never seen such a well behaved Bengal. Also your passion for shepherding the breed. If we ever have the ability to take care of another cat I would consider coming to Elysian again.

I love my other Bengals but their temperament is not like Kylo. He was loving and affectionate right from the start. Kylo allowed me to hold him and trusted me immediately. He’s high intelligent and will accept commands similar to a dog. I have had cats in my family my entire life. My experience was Elysian was different right from the start. The knowledge and patience level was off the charts of Elysian. She showed kindness and understanding despite my dozens of questions during the process. I loved receiving frequent photos, updates and watching live videos as well.

The commitment and passion Elysian Bengals shows towards her cats was evident the second we held our kitten. We always get asked how we trained her to be so social, easy going, and unafraid, and we also point them towards our cats breeder. We could not be more pleased with our little Luna.

Elysian Bengals is top notch! The breeder Meghan is amazing to work with. She answered all of my questions, kept me in the loop on my kitten and loved on them so much before they came home, that my kitten was so well adjusted. I wouldn’t go with any other breeder

Ok so I don’t have one of your kittens but you have felt like my breeder. I have learned so much from you! You have always been helpful and available when I’ve had questions, even when it was about someone else’s kitten. You never pressured us to get your kitten but absolutely have the best interest of the breed at heart. While your kitten didn’t work out for us it was obvious that he was well taken care of and socialized but most importantly he was loved!

From day one, you have made me feel like my questions matter. I was super skeptical about a breeder soo far away from my home state since I was close to being scammed before. So I needed soo much reassurance and you gave that to me. You’ve been interested in my story and needs, and I know you care. We have been looking for something specific in a Bengal and you’ve given us that. On top of that, your knowledge of this breed is incredible. I’ve already learned soo much. You are engaging and positive. You are ridiculously prompt in your communications. It’s clear you are excited in what you do. And you want to give buyers everything they could possibly need to have the best experience. I can’t wait for our babies to come to us. Thank you for everything!!

Goodness where do I begin. Back in November I lost my Bengal Sinclair at the age of 5 years old. Heartbreaking is saying it mildly. He was my world. Since then I’ve been researching many breeders, adoption, rescue etc for another bengal. I alway enjoyed reading on Elysian Bengals page and posts, so I decided finally to fill out the application to get on the waiting list. To much of my surprise I had a response in that same day from Meghan. I was beyond excited. From that point on it’s been amazing. I had a ton of questions and we were going back and forth for hours onto the next day. Never did I feel I was a bother. The web page is so informative and if you’re still not sure of a question she’s always there to answer it for you. I would highly recommend checking out their web page Such an amazing experience so far. Hoping to get my little nugget mid summer

Megan of Elysian Bengals is a very passionate and knowledgeable breeder and advocate of the bengal breed. I appreciated all her patience with my millions of questions and her willingness to share information and her care and attention to her cats and kittens. She puts great attention and energy into her work and goes the extra mile to ensure a good match between kittens and their forever home. Her kittens seem very loving and well socialized. I am a fan! Also wanted to add: Her website and blog enter keys are a great resource for anyone interested in Bengals. And her knowledgeable of genetics and nutrition are very helpful for any new cat guardian.

I'm so so glad I found your cattery! Throughout this process I have felt so informed and received so much guidance on not only the breed but the best kitten for my home. You truly care so much about what you do and your efforts and knowledge show! #ElysianBengalsForever. You are always answering my questions and refer to any additional education info to help and its so nice to have support in that way with anything. I can't say enough good things. I have learned so much. Also, the daily updates on quirks/providing pictures it makes the process of a new kitty addition much more personal and it's so appreciated! I feel like even though Norinco was ready to go home months ago, although I haven't "met" him yet, I feel like Ive been able to grow along with him and see him develop and that means so much to me. You truly are an ethical breeder and have everyones best interest at heart. I'm so proud and thankful to be part of the Elysian Bengals family  And if i'm making additions.. know where to look!!!!

I knew lil Nova was the sweetest kitten ever! She is so careful with her nails! she kisses my nose after I kiss her. she is adjusting quite beautifully. Luna loves her except I have to separate during feedings, but I am so used to that anyway...thank you helping me complete our lil family!

So it's entirely possible that Genesis may have also found her forever home with us  She has my husband wrapped around her little paw, I dont think hed be able to tell her goodbye lol He LOVED Ella (our first Bengal who passed unexpectedly a few years back) and I haven't seen him to bond to another Bengal like this since then

Absolutely! Dont get me wrong, she is an absolute pain in the ass, self entitled, always getting into everything, no sense of boundaries or rules. But she is just wonderful, everyone who has met her always says she is their favorite of all our Bengals. Honestly she is priceless, I doubt I could ever truly repay you for her but thank you!

Meghan Waals you are a huge part of why this lovable lil monster is here with us. I honestly never thought a bengal would be a good match for this madhouse despite having fallen in love with the breed after Kat first brought Linkin and then Astryd home to live with her. I still remember watching your live video Friday when you first were talking about her original contract falling through but it was ok because you already had an idea of where she may fit right in... Then later that night while getting ours nails done Kat was like “so Meg thinks she might have a kitten who would be perfect for you” lol 
Your fantastic. It’s one of the first things I tell people when they as me if I like my breeder. You pay attention and you care so much about your kitties that you do everything in your power to make sure they all end up in the right homes. ❤️

Meghan is so wonderful to deal with! She’s knowledgeable, thorough, caring and friendly! The love she has for her cats is apparent and our kitten came home fully adjusted. She is an extremely loving creature and it was obvious she was raised from day 1 with the best process and intentions. We HIGHLY recommend Elysian Bengals!! Our non Elysian Bengal wakes us up very early in the morning...anywhere from 3:30am-6am for his breakfast. I do not give into him but he is relentless. I was resigned to it and thought “that’s just cats,” since Loki was our first cat ever. Then we got Vignette from Elysian Bengals. Vignette is very patient for her breakfast and will sleep with me until I wake up or quietly play until I’m ready to get up. So now I’m asking, is there a way to redirect or retrain Loki to be more patient in the morning so we can get more sleep? LOL

Meghan I would just like to say thank you not only for your deep commitment and love of animals but for going above and beyond for our son Norinco 'Atticus'.. ....you have organized so much as far as the arrangements for payment, travel and everything in between. I want you to know I will love him with all the love I have and take good care of him always. I will keep you updated on all of his antics with photos and make him as spoiled as humanly possible. Lol. These babies rule this roost and I'm like their toy/maid. So thank you for the way you run your business and thank you for always putting these beautiful babies first. You are appreciated and I'll never forget all the lengths you went to just to get that baby into our home and into our heart. You my friend are a rock star.  Update: September 26, 2022 I know a lot of the Elysian Tribe knows recently we took in a new beautiful boy. Yes we worried how a new 16 lb 4 yr old would meld with our other Elysian babies. Welp... once again proof that Meghan Waals Elysian Bengals raises perfect, kind, loving and tender Bengals. I'd never ever think of another Bengal from anywhere

I’m so grateful to have found a breeder who love my girls as much as I do. They are so well rounded. You can tell they had a wonderful temporary mom till they came home to me. The owner is so kind and has always been there for us. If I ask a question and she is always quick to give me help and new ideas to help me be a better parent to all my cats. It’s not just a transaction! It’s becoming a big family.

Elysian Bengals is one of the best breeders we have dealt with. The owner is extremely knowledgeable about genetics and species appropriate nutrition and its link to the animal's health. She is a responsible breeder who strives to ethically improve the breed responsibly with the wellbeing of her animals as her first priority. The cats she produces are well adjusted and she makes sure to expose them to a lot of different situations. There are several of her animals that are being used as emotional support animals because the temperament of the cats she produces.

Elysian Bengals breed beautiful, healthy and very socialized Bengal kittens. Meghan is very knowledgeable in all phases of professional breeding including nutrition and medical screening. I have a very smart and affectionate kitten from one of the 2018 litters. I am thrilled I connected with Elysian Bengals for my Bengal girl.

Without a doubt Elysian Bengals is one of the top catteries in the United States! Buy with confidence that you will have an amazing pet, endless support, and be a part of a family that is truly special! Thank you Meg for what you do! ❤️

Your dedication to the further education of the buyer is fantastic. I loved that you provided materials for our education, as well as spelling out the reasoning behind raising natural and raw feeding. Your caring and involvement in the process was fantastic, and the whole experience was very professional and awesome. Even the kit you sent home with us (with toys, food, blankets, etc.) was so sweet and showed just how much you love and care for your cats. Delta is a total sweetheart, and your early socialization efforts with him really shows - he quickly (within about two days!) became best friends with our other Bengal. We see so much difference in him from our other Bengal, who wasn't socialized quite as much as a kitten (even though she came from a seemingly reputable breeder). So all in all, the whole process (and the wonderful family member that we gained) was fantastic. We'd love to get another cat from you - but two is a good number for us for now :) However, if we talk ourselves into a third, you'll be the first we reach out to.

Meghan has always been an animal lover. I call her Dr. Doolittle as she speaks the language and understands the needs of her cats as if one of them. Meghan is so attentive to their feeding needs with the best raw diet. She socializes them so they are ready for their new home with intellectual play and petting. I highly recommend Meghan and Elysian Bengals.

Reputable, gives back up and provides a wealth of information. She understands the needs of the breed, All pairs are health tested before breeding, kittens are health tested before leaving and what I respect most is that kittens don't leave till they are 12 weeks or older ensuring they are all well socialized and healthy before starting their lives in their new homes.

I love live video Friday’s!! It makes such a real connection with the kittens  All the way from Canada  they fill my heart with so much joy  It’s so awesome to see them in such a loving atmosphere   All the attention they get and the care they receive to get them ready for their human family’s is just amazing The little tagy blankets they get to take with them is just the icing on the cake

Just brought home my silver charcoal baby! I brought her home at 16 weeks, and let me tell you, this little gem is SO well socialized! She withstood a 12 hour car ride without any accidents, or getting sick! AND an additional hour long ride the next day, and she's still be just as playful, eating well, and drinking normally! She's encountered two very large dogs, and a 4 year old toddler, all without a hiss! Healthy baby, might i say! Pearly whites, short and rounded nails. Bright ROUND eyes. Beautiful glittered coat. She talks to us, and gives us kisses. She's uses to being held like a baby, and used to belly rubs. Meghan sent us tons of photos and let us even facetime our bundle of joy. Great cattery, they really do socialize their kittens to all things, clean establishment, and Meghan has kept in touch even after the "transaction", and has answered any and ever raw feeding question I've had in a timely manner!

Meg takes excellent care of all of her cats. She is caring, organized, and does whatever she can to make all of her cats happy. The cattery has separate gated rooms and each have their own toys to make the cats feel at home. Meg is constantly finding ways to improve her cattery. She’s great at communicating with clients and is clearly knowledgeable in that she can answer any question with ease. If you’re looking for a cat, definitely look into purchasing one with Elysian Bengals!

As a first time Bengal owner it was important for me to find a reputable breeder, one who is very knowledgeable about the Bengal breed and I found just that - Elysian Bengals. The care , time, and love Meghan puts in with her kittens is amazing! You are sure to receive a healthy kitten. One that has been properly socialized, confident and fed a species appropriate diet. I am so in love with my Bengal that there is no question where to go if I get another one.

We’ve had our new guy a few weeks and we couldn’t be happier with our new family member. Xander is healthy and well adjusted and everything a Bengal kitten should be.  Communication with Meghan has been ongoing for many months even before deciding to adopt a new member of the family. She is very knowledgeable about a species appropriate diet for Xander and even with the rest of our guys. She is quick to respond to any questions I have had over the last 8 months or so that I have known her.  Meghan keeps prospective parents “in the loop” as the kittens grow with lots of photos and updates of their antics. She includes all of her photos on a CD, and genetic testing of the kittens, and an assortment of other goodies in her “kitten bundle.” A very thorough person and experience! Thank you!

Meghan does an amazing job of breeding quality cats. From the very beginning she spends quality time handling and introducing her kittens to different textures and sounds. She knows each and every cat/kitten and their purrsonality 😉. I was worried traveling with a kitten by air all the way on the other side of the United States, Meghan assured me I shouldn’t have any problems and I was pleasantly surprised on how well my addition did on the airplane. Meghan is also extremely knowledgeable in color characteristics and genes. She offers her advice and opinions, but will give you all of the information to form your own and is very supportive of the program and characteristics that you are looking to achieve.  She provides you with the knowledge of raw nutrition and the options of recipes and vendors that are available. She is quick to answer questions, even if they are not cat related, and is a great mentor. I am very happy with my choice of inquiring and purchasing a beautiful, feisty girl from Elysian Bengals.

The time one has spent breeding does not automatically equate to an understanding of breeding, animal husbandry, or selection.  Many “old timers” can’t work a line to demonstrate improvement - even after years of breeding. In contrast, some new breeders enter our world and can improve cats in a generation or two. I’m quite confident in Meg’s ability to mentor based on what I know of her formal education, her ability to THINK, her clarity in communication, her willingness to share her time, her passion for breed improvement, and her selection decisions thus far.

I highly recommend Meg at Elysian Bengals. I have been on the FB Bengal page for years looking at posts from breeders and cat lovers. I have been looking for the perfect silver charcoal Bengal kitten and Meg’s caught my eye with their beauty initially. When I began following her page I learned so much about her excellent love and care for Bengals. She is consistent in updating her page with photos and videos sharing her amazing cats and their routines. After seeing a few liters and all the Friday videos I had to have one. This past week I brought home Archie our charcoal Bengal. He is a loving, playful and handsome guy. He is perfect! I value Meg’s expertise, passion, and support. She is more versed on the breed, cats, and raw feeding than anyone I have come across. Meg has been an amazing resource to us in choosing our Bengal and also answering questions to transition him home. She is honest, patient, fun, and easy to work with. I feel if you are going to invest in bengal why not have the best breeder possible. After searching throughout the US we found our match and the best out there. My 14year old Bengal is like clockwork every am ready for his breakfast too. Sometimes he walks on our head and pushes off stuff on nightstand onto floor next to us. Other mornings he just sits and waits patiently staring at us. 😂 My young Elysian boys sleeps and waits till we wake up. He begs for food whenever he desires. When he wants food he whines or attempts to jump on my back. So they

Hope you are settling in with your family! Sadira is now Astryd. :) She did great at the vet, who was great about not vaccinating or worming. We discussed titers instead. She asked me more about the raw diet, since it was homemade but was happy with everything I told her about it. Said her only concern was to make sure we cleaned up well, for human exposure. :) The vet also raved about how healthy she was. Apparently she has another client with 3 Bengals who came in horrible shape from a local breeder, at least 1 died. And she loved the Optimal Selection testing. So you're a hit up here! ;)
