OF THE EMPRESS
The Wild Distilled. Nature's Masterpiece.
A Standard Apart.
At Of The Empress, we believe a Bengal should be more than beautiful — it should be singular.
Our program is built on lineage, structure, and the kind of wild expression that cannot be manufactured. Each pairing is chosen with precision: high-contrast rosettes, glittered coats, athletic build, and a temperament that is both confident and deeply present.
Raised within our home from birth. Health-tested. TICA & CFA Registered. Selected.
We are particular about where our Bengals go — because extraordinary things belong in extraordinary hands.

Pet Quality
Brown / Gold
$1,800–$2,500
The most classic and popular Bengal color — recognized by TICA since 1983. Ground coat ranges from cool gray-tawny to vivid orange-gold, with a lighter chest and belly highly prized. Markings are dark brown, seal, or jet-black spots, rosettes, or marble. Distinctive mascara lines, brick-red nose outlined in black, and a solid black tail tip. Eyes: green, hazel, gold, or copper.
Pet Quality
Silver
$2,000–$2,700
A cool, frosty-white to dark steel-gray base coat with zero warm tones — driven by the dominant inhibitor gene that suppresses all yellow and orange pigment.

One of the most visually striking expressions in the Bengal world.
Pet Quality

Born nearly white, markings develop over 6–12 months. Seal Mink (cs/cb): aqua eyes, warmer ground. Seal Sepia (cb/cb): darkest snow, gold to green eyes. Solid dark tail tip on all three.
