Avondell CashmereBengals
& Snowcubs
Avondell Bengals was founded
in 1993 with the goal of
establishing a family line of cats
who would reflect our motto,
"Temperament First;
Leopard Beauty Always"
The Bengal as a breed has come a long way
since those early days, and the Avondell
family has progressed as well. We feel
that the cats we have today fully represent
both the sweet, gregarious nature and the
true leopard type for which they have been
carefully and selevtively bred for these many
generations. We are proud to present them here for your enjoyment.
Please feel free to contact us with your questions or comments.
While we love our Cashmere Bengals,
and still breed an occasional litter
of of both shortcoated and longcoated
Bengal kittens, our future focus is
on the development of a new breed
we call the Snowcub.
We are working with several
breeders throughout the U.S. in the
development of this exciting new
breed which will encompass what we feel
are the best traits of the Cashmere Bengals
enhanced by the development of a cat of huge size,
extremely laid back and easygoing temperament,
the head and body type and long thick tail reminiscent
of the wild Snow Leopard rather than of the Asian Leopard Cat,
huge polydactyl feet, and glitter on every cat.
The Snowcub is a completely domestic breed
reflecting no "wild cross" generations and will be the cat of
choice for everyone wanting a huge, gentle natured, fluffy
Leopard spotted kitty with big "double paws"and a stunning
glitter coat.

"Cashmere" is the name for
the long coated variety of Bengal Cat,
and the rich plushness of these self
grooming, semi-longhairs makes it easy
to understand why. Because of the
diversity of the domestic cats used in
the foundation of the the Bengal breed,
the longhair trait has always been
present as a recessive gene in our
cats, tho some who like to see
themselves as "purists" prefer to think
it is not in "their" lines (until,
of course, one happens to "pop up" in one of their litters!)
Intentionally breeding for this trait is a fairly new undertaking, but the
results are most stunning -- especially on a beautifully well contrasted
coat with liminescent glitter extending far down the hair shaft!
