Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) is one of the most significant health concerns for Bengal breeders and buyers. Bengal Kittens Breeders Home is proud to be the only Bengal breeder in the UK who guarantees that every kitten leaves us FCoV clear — a distinction that sets us apart from every other breeder in the country.
Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) is a common viral infection found in cats worldwide. In the vast majority of cases, FCoV causes mild or no symptoms. However, in a small percentage of cases — estimated at between 5% and 10% — FCoV can mutate within an individual cat to cause Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a serious and historically fatal disease.
FCoV spreads primarily through faecal-oral contact, making multi-cat households and breeding catteries particularly susceptible environments. Many breeders either do not test for FCoV or simply accept its presence as inevitable. We do not.
Bengal Kittens Breeders Home operates a closed, controlled breeding environment with a structured FCoV elimination protocol implemented in collaboration with our veterinary practice and following guidance from Dr Addie at The University of Glasgow — one of the world's foremost authorities on Feline Coronavirus.
Our protocol includes strict biosecurity, environmental management, and ongoing monitoring within our breeding cats. Prevention is not assumed. It is actively maintained through discipline, veterinary oversight, and an uncompromising commitment to the health of every cat in our care.
When you bring a Bengal kitten home from Bengal Kittens Breeders Home, you receive written confirmation that your kitten has tested FCoV clear prior to leaving us. No other Bengal breeder in the UK offers this guarantee. This means you are bringing home a kitten with the best possible start in life — free from a virus that represents a genuine health risk in less carefully managed breeding environments.
Every Bengal kitten from Bengal Kittens Breeders Home leaves with an FCoV clear certificate — a written guarantee that is unique in the UK Bengal breeding community. This is our commitment to the health and longevity of every kitten we produce.
