After you
have been bewitched by this breed, no other cat will you ever want to
own.
They are
simply the Cat of Love
You will not
find this Breed in a Pet Shop, or advertised in any newspapers, it's
availability is limited to just a few.
Singapura Cats
The
Singapura Cat is the Worlds Smallest Pedigreed Cat, as the name implies,
it is a native of Singapore, where it is known as "Kuchinta"
the Cat of Love. They are also known throughout the world as
"little Puma Look a Likes" & the Monkey Cat
due to their desire to sit perched up on your shoulders, as close to you as they
can possibly get.
The
Singapura is well named as the Cat of Love - full of affection,
wonderful with children and other pets, and still
very rare in
Australian homes.
They are not for the families who have no other pets inside,
i.e. another cat, as this breed will get very lonely if left every day for 8
hours by them selves, therefore two Singa's or another cat to keep them company.
Remember Singapura's are not your ordinary felines, they are devoted to their
human parents, you will find yourself feeling guilty leaving them at home by
themselves.
The
Enchanting little Singapura will win the hearts of all it meets,
8 out of 10 families who adopt a Bengal or a Devon kitten come back for a
Singapura, as they are so bewitched by them when meeting them at Mangalakatzs.
The Singapura Cat/Kitten have soft voices and will chat away to you and
your visitors providing hours of entertaining antics. They are the perfect
family Cat or Kitten, Singapura's prefer to be on your shoulders
supervising your chores and are ever eager to lend a paw to help
and love to snuggle into your neck for long cuddles.
It may be the Worlds Smallest Pedigreed Cat but the Singapura or
Singa as it is affectionately known, has the biggest heart with loads of
love that they willingly share with everyone.
Singapura Kittens are so very Enchanting with their exquisite looks
and inquisitive natures.
It is just about impossible to explain in detail about this
intriguing little breed of cat, they are truly Mystical, Enchanting, Intuitive
and like no other Cat you will have ever met before.
Easy to care for with minimal to no
hair shedding, due to a very short close lying coat. These are a
tropically born cat, so they do not have the normal thick double coat as
other short coat breeds do, simply wipe over with a damp chamois or a
piece of silk cloth to bring up a beautiful lustre to the coat and
remove any dead hairs, when ever you think it is needed. This is because
you will have your hands on them constantly keeping their coat in tip
top condition.
These little cats are so very playful and entertaining.
Singapura kittens are wonderful companions for children, so very tolerant and
easy to please.
This breed fits in well with other family pets, like the dog
or other cats in the household.
The only clause in owning a Singapura is that if both
adoptive parents work full time, you will need companionship for your new kitten
while you are not at home, be it the family inside dog or another inside cat.
This breed adores and needs company, it would break their
little heart to be shut up all day at home by themselves, so thusly l do not let
any kittens go to homes where this is the case.
Once families have visited the Cattery, they understand why
this is so important, and consequently they usually buy a pair.
The hardest part then is choosing two.
Because this is such a small breed, kittens are not desexed
until between 14 & 15 weeks of age, at this stage they are still smaller than a
Bengal or a Devon kitten at the 10 week mark.
So please do not think your kitten will be grown up when you
collect her or him, it certainly is still such a small kitten.

We are Australia's own Specialist
Breeder of these Rare and Endearing little Critters, with many of our
kittens now in Paris, Germany, Japan & Lithuania and of course
throughout Australia.
The Bengal Cat was created
by the hybridization of the wild and
shy small Asian Leopard Cat
,
known as Felis Bengalensis
Perhaps you are interested in a wild looking
cat, with a gentle temperament and dog like traits, then a Bengal Kitten
may be what your family is looking for.
We breed Brown spotted Bengals, Tri coloured
Marbled Bengals, Snow
Spotted Seal Mink Bengals
and Snow Seal Mink
Marbled Bengals. We also have the rarer blue-eyed
Seal Lynx Spotted Bengal kittens occasionally.
The Bengal Cat is a great lover of water, so
taking a bath or a shower alone may be a thing of the past when owning a
Bengal cat.
The Bengal kitten/cat has a luxurious soft
coat which is called a "pelt". Only well-bred Bengal kittens will
have a true pelt with glorious glitter through-out - glitter refers to
that fabulous golden sparkling threads found
through the pelt that makes the Bengal shimmer
in the sun light.
Bengals, with their pelt rather than fur are
also the perfect cat
for many people with allergies.
The Bengal kitten is the perfect partner
to the Singapura kitten - together
they provide wonderful companionship & hours of fun together
for many years.
Taken by the charm
and cuteness of E.T. Then the Devon Rex
is a must for you!
The Devon Rex cats and kittens are wonderful
with children and get along brilliantly with other cats and dogs.
The Devon Rex cat is very dog-like in its behaviour and tolerates
children's games of 'baby in the pram' so very well.
The Devon Rex kitten is also recommended for
those families who have allergies to cats. The smooth soft coat
of the Devon Rex means minimal coat
shedding - so no fur on your furniture, clothes or
carpets.
So comfortable is the Devon Rex cat with
people, it is often used in patient therapy in hospitals.
The Monash Medical Palliative Care unit in Melbourne often make use
of the Devon Rexes wonderful nature and character as they love to laze away
the day in patients' beds (no fur in the beds)
- they make wonderful hot water bottles to snuggle up to!

Our Mission:
All our kittens are raised in the home, not in a Cattery or the back bedroom!
Kittens are bought up with us under foot together with the family dog and get to play with the grandchildren
and socialize with the other house cats as they develop into confident little
kittens.
We aim to raise socially well adjusted kittens that are use to such
things as the vacuum cleaner, children, dogs, lots of music and most of all lots
of love and cuddles.
We believe by raising kittens this way it is less stressful
on them and they will settle quicker into their new adoptive homes.
Why choose Mangala Katzs for your new kitten?
We are registered Breeders that
do Show regularly.
I am at home full time to raise and put in that extra special effort that is
required to breed and raise healthy well adjusted confident kittens with lots of
personality.
We are not part time hobby breeders that are at work outside the
home, our kittens are not left to raise themselves. We are with them every step
of the way, from birth till they leave home.
Being a retired Veterinary Nurse, l have a good understanding of diet requirements,
hygiene in the home and in the management of a Breeding Cattery itself.
Our Vet
is available for us 24/7 and no kitten/cat if unwell is left till the next
business day to be seen. All these issues matter a great deal in breeding
healthy kittens.
All breeding queens and studs are FELV & FIV negative.
All kittens are desexed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, regularly wormed and
have had flea spot on treatment all completed before they leave home.
There is no extra costs to the new adoptive parents, till 12
months from their last vaccination in which then they require a booster F3
vaccination.
All our babies are adopted as inside only companions.
Outdoor enclosed
enclosures for daytime fun is an option to allow some safe outdoor playtime.
Although l do have mixed feelings, as some cats will then spend more
time out in the outdoor enclosure than inside with the family, this has been particularly
noticeable with Bengal juveniles. I advised that all cats should not be allowed
free access at night to the outdoor play area, night feed time comes and the
outdoor cat enclosure is shut off, (be strong about this please)
Another point of interest is also not to take your kitten/cat to the
enclosure via the back or front door of your home as this can be linked into
your kitten/cats brain that this is the exit of your home and so some cats will
finish up what we call "door rushers", hanging around the door waiting
for someone not to notice them, and they can slip through your legs before you
know they are gone.
All entry to the enclosure should be done when introducing them to the cat flap entry point, by two people, one inside and one in the outside section, one
to coax the kitten/cat through the cat flap and one to gently put it back
through, till it is accustomed and is able to manage this itself.
No
kitten or cat should ever be allowed outside unsupervised or unrestrained at any
time, it is just not safe.
P
LEASE NOTE::
We do not adopt out any
Singapura or Devon Rex Kittens/ Cats for Breeding
in Australia.
Bengal Kittens are only
adopted out for Breeding to Registered Breeders only.
