The Safely's Central Coast Cattery is "Consistently Producing the Finest Examples of Bengal Cats Nationwide". This "Family Oriented and Multi-Animal Species Environment" is a breeding ground, quite literally, for Endearing Temperaments, Psychologically Balanced Cats that Neither Hiss nor Hide... not at all... Koppiekatz Bengals possess the most desireable behavioral traits including being Sweet to their Owner, Playful, Respectful and Surprisingly well Housebroken. These Bengal Cats are Friendly, Confident and Uber-Intelligent. I met Bruce and Vickie about 6 years ago and was blessed to be adopting a 9 month Male Bengal Cat named Romeo. They contemplated keeping Romeo to use as a stud in their breeding program however, in the end they decided to adopt him to me. I can not even begin to explain how different the KoppieKatz Bengal Cat Breeding Facility really is and the effect it has, on the early stages of life. Here are some of the most amazing traits that I directly attribute to KoppieKatz Cattery. 1. Romeo is vocal because he is confident. Specifically Romeo always says "Hello", multiple times, whenever he walks into a room. This also shows his intelligence, aptitude to learn from humans and confidence to try. Its true. 2. He never misuses his vocals. Fortunately, he did not learn to hiss at humans or other animals. I believe this directly correlates with the Safely's keeping a wide variety of different types of animals at the facility as well as a lot of contact between humans and animals... which likely contributes to the lack of any skittish behaviors. 3. Romeo runs on a treadmill without being encouraged by treats... he literally, on his own accord, get onto a giant hamster wheel treadmill and runs. I believe he does this because he is seeking attention as the the wheel makes a good amount of noise and helps to get our attention. Suddenly the sound of the giant wheel spinning and Romeo is participating in an activity that he knows his human friends like. 4. Physique. Look at the pictures. Ok... I will say I have tried to get ahold of them through email years later and never received a response, now I don't know what's going on in their lives and so I'm not going to jump to any presumptions nor do I necessarily feel any resentment that I haven't received nor do I necessarily feel any resentment that I haven't received a call back regarding wanting to get a copy of his lineage in pedigree. But if they read this then hopefully they reach out. Another thing worth mentioning is that the best of the best Bengal breeders in California are a network of people who will get cats from each other to keep the Bloodlines pure and free of any interbreeding, and this is a pretty tightly-knit close circle of breeders that I'm referring to... another one worth mentioning being Bishop's Bengals or Karen's Kritters. If you're in the market for a wonderful pet, if you're in the market for a wonderful pet, animals has a animals has a and how's it going keep their owners on their feet and comes from a good stock that has never had a single illness or health condition in 6 years, then you wouldn't do so bad calling the Safelys and getting your next pet cat from KoppieKatz. Cheers... enjoy the pics. read more

I was hesitant to write a review until the whole process of obtaining a Bengal through KoppieKatz cattery was complete. I've had a Bengal from this cattery in my home for two months now and I could not be happier with the entire process. If you want to own a Bengal, but live far and cannot visit this cattery in person, I welcome you to trust my experience. I made an appointment to visit the cattery. When I arrived, I was warmly welcomed with smiles and enthusiasm by both Viki and Bruce. I was overwhelmed by the sweet temperament and visually stunning studs and queens. The pictures you see on the KoppieKatz website, although beautiful, DO NOT capture the exquisiteness you witness in person. The cleanliness of Bruce and Viki's home/cattery is mind-boggling. With nursing mothers, kittens and adult studs and queens, you'd expect the familiar "cat" smell - there was none. No litter/poop smell, no cat hair everywhere, no shredded furniture, floors are spotless, and above all the animals look very healthy and content with zero signs of sickness. I know Bruce and Viki are retired, but I can't figure out how they have the time to raise such stunning, confident, sweet and friendly Bengals. I visited the nursing mothers and their kittens. Not one mother hissed or showed signs of being uncomfortable with my presence. You can see the cats and kittens are handled often and treated as if they are family. Besides having a spotless home, and raising happy and healthy cats, Bruce and Viki took the time to keep in touch with me and often sent me pictures and videos of my little boy. Upon bringing my Bengal home I took him straight to the vet. Not only was the vet amazed by his beauty, he commented on his friendliness, "show quality", fearlessness and amazing health. My boy took very little time to adjust to his new home. I HIGHLY recommend KoppieKatz cattery if you are interested in the breed. I definitely got more than I paid for and could not be more pleased with my whole experience. read more

If you're looking for some of the most gorgeous bengal kittens, look no further. I did months and months of research and never found anyone that produce the kind of rosettes that Bruce & Viki have been able to achieve. Not only do they have the best cats around, they are very nice and care a lot about the cats and where they are going. They sent us home with the best little starter kit and gave Khaleesi (our kitten) her first toys! Bruce & Viki are the real deal. They have even had one of their cats held by the Queen of Spain! They're a very sweet retired couple that just love bengals. Through many, many years of experience, it's clear they know what they're doing. read more

Koppie Katz Cattery - Khaleesi checking out her fountain. - Pet Services Near Me

Well, I have to say that I thought we were in good hands when we chose KoppieKatz. Here's my experience. Last October I talked to Bruce and I asked him what cats he had available. I told him I was interested in a kitten or retired cat. He told me he had a retired cat that would be available early 2022. He showed me the pics on his website, told me all about her personality and we struck a deal. My family and I were super happy. I sent a deposit and we were off getting ready for our new cat. Every few weeks I would keep in touch with Bruce to see how our cat was doing, making sure everything was all good. He assured me everything was great and he would let me know when she was getting spayed. In December, Bruce let me know that she was on the schedule to be done on Jan 18, 2022, and she would be ready 2-3 weeks after. We were getting super excited. We ordered everything for our new cat, even had several items mongramed with our new cats name on it. We set up the house and got everything ready. 2 days ago, I followed with with Bruce again asking how Willow was after her surgery. He responded with an ice cold email stating that he decided he was going to keep Willow and he's sorry. After 4 months of waiting, getting reassured the entire time, by a guy I was told was an honest and good businessman, he decided to go back on his word with zero remorse. I called Bruce several times and he emailed me saying he was busy and he will call me the next day. He did call and the entire time I was telling him how he let down our family and was completely unprofessional, he seemed to just dismiss the entire issue and kept saying "Okay, I'll send the refund today, sorry" as if his apology would make up for giving us his word for 4 months only to rip it away. He blamed his wife Vicki, saying she just decided she wanted to keep her. I want everyone to know that if they wanted to keep the cat, I have no issue with that, but when you tell someone the cat is theirs and make them wait 4 months, there is no excuse I will accept. All they had to do is tell me from the onset that they wanted to keep her, and I could have continued my search and most likely have had a cat already. I suspect that it's all lies, and they either sold her to someone else, or are still breeding her. Just bad business all around and I am totally shocked at their cander. Just be aware if you are looking for a Bengal cat here, there has to be a better place to go where people actually honor their word. Subsequently, I have talked to many breeders today alone, that are totally legit, that were appalled at this and suggested that these people look into exiting the business. read more
