Bon Temps Bengals | Application Preview
Bon Temps Bengals is seeking government grant funding to repay startup loans and enhance their cattery. The funds will be allocated for several key improvements, including finishing and furnishing a spacious outdoor cat area (the 'Catio') for birthing and wellness activities, as well as purchasing essential supplies such as cat food, litter boxes, and emergency neonatal care items.
Currently, Bon Temps Bengals operates with two female cats and one male. The business aims to responsibly breed high-quality Bengal cats, including brown, snow lynx, and mink variations, while adhering to strict health testing protocols like genetic testing and spaying/neutering. Future plans include acquiring additional breeding queens and a stud to increase production from four to eight litters annually and expand genetic diversity to include silver and charcoal Bengals.
The rationale for funding approval focuses on the commitment to responsible breeding, ensuring that the cats are hypoallergenic and socialized within a family environment. This preparation allows them to integrate seamlessly into new homes. Bon Temps Bengals aims to make these extraordinary pets accessible and ensure that every family, regardless of allergies, can experience the love of a pet.
In terms of competition, Bon Temps Bengals faces rivals like Belle Ami Bengals and Wildlife Bengals, both known for high-quality brown kittens. However, their competitive edge lies in their dedication to socialization, health testing, and the aim to produce well-adjusted kittens suited for diverse households. The owners believe that the time and investment in creating top-quality pets not only satisfies customer needs but also transforms lives by delivering pets that are ready to provide unconditional love.

Business Plan
As of now Bon Temps Bengals has two queens and one stud. My vision is to spread the wonderful world of the Bengal cat responsibly. We genetic test, fiv/fip test, spay and neuter. We only breed quality healthy cats. As of now genetically we can produce brown rosetted Bengal Cats, and snow lynx and mink Bengal Cats. I see us purchasing 2 more queens and one more stud. I'd like to genetically be able to produce silver Bengal Cats in which case I will need to purchase a silver queen and a silver stud. I'd also like to produce charcoal Bengals in which case the silver stud I purchase needs to carry the charcoal gene as does the silver queen. This will be costly but will Pay off. The second queen I'd like to purchase will be a Snow Seal Mink. With this queen and the stud I have now I will be able to produce entire snow litters of every variation genetically. By adding the 2 new queens to my current queens I'll be producing 8 litters per year. As of now I'm only producing 4. We want to spread the wonderful world of the Bengal cat responsibly. We genetic test, fiv/fip test, spay and neuter. We only breed quality, healthy cats and kittens. Our kittens are specially made for children and adults that have allergies because they are hypoallergenic. Allergies should not exclude anyone from knowing the unconditional love of a pet. Our Bengals are affordable. We want to help ordinary people own extraordinary Cats. We are an in home cattery. This means that all of our kittens are extremely socialized and 100% used to a normal household. Including a 4 year old child that would love them to death if allowed, a standard poodle, an English mastiff and my grandfather. These newly domesticated Cats are good with anyone, any age, and species when the time, money, and energy is spent getting them ready for 'pet'- life. A lot of time and money go into making top quality pets for our customers.

Self Identified Competition
Belle Ami Bengals are our top competitor because they also produce browns and snows, and have good quality. Wildlife Bengals because they produce top quality brown kittens. Bodcau Bengals also an in home cattery producing browns. We want to spread the wonderful world of the Bengal cat responsibly. We genetic test, fiv/fip test, spay and neuter. We only breed quality, healthy cats and kittens. Our kittens are specially made for children and adults that have allergies because they are hypoallergenic. We are an in home cattery. This means that all of our kittens are extremely socialized and 100% used to a normal household. This takes tons of time and energy. However, when your kittens fur-ever family comes to bring them home and they are so happy and excited and hopeful it truly makes all the hard work worth it. To be able to give someone a little bundle of unconditional love that will love them from the beginning, not be timid or scared (because they have been so well socialized) and transition right into their new home is not something every one gets to experience.
