,Hi,  I got interested in Bengals when a friend of mine gave me a Bengal as a pet that she was no longer breeding. That was 20 years ago. I fell in love with the breed then because of how unique they are.

 

A little about us, my husband is Dr. Fred Nolen. He is a psychologist and I am a registered nurse with over 20 years experience in ICU. We have four daughters between us and eight grandchildren ranging in ages from  less than a year to 19 years old.

 

 

We live in southern Indiana, close to Hoosier National Forest, in the middle of Amish and Mennonite communities. We truly love the slower pace of country living. We have a small farm with assorted animals, a few chickens, ducks, pigs, cows, and Doofus, our dog that watches over everyone.

 

 

All of our Bengal queens live in our house unless they are in the cattery for breeding.  The litters are born in our room and raised underfoot for good socialization.   We do not let any of the kittens go until they are at least three months old.
