Our Home, Their World
Our Family
At Sweet Home Alabama Bengals, our cattery is truly a family effort. Our Bengals are raised right in our home, surrounded by the people who love them, and every member of our family plays a special role in their lives.
My husband, Woody, has been my biggest supporter from the very beginning. He has encouraged my dream of building Sweet Home Alabama Bengals and is always there to lend a helping hand wherever he's needed. His support has meant so much to me throughout this journey.
Our daughter, Harper Ella, is my little helper and shares my love for our Bengals. Whether she's feeding them, playing with them, helping with litter boxes, or simply spending time cuddling them, she loves being involved. Watching her form her own relationships with the cats has become such a special part of our journey.
Because our kittens grow up in our home, they experience the everyday sights, sounds, and interactions of family life from the very beginning. These everyday experiences provide our kittens with positive opportunities for socialization as they grow and develop.
To us, our Bengals are never "just breeding cats." They are cherished members of our family first. Every pairing is thoughtfully planned, every kitten is raised with care, and every family who welcomes one of our kittens becomes part of the Sweet Home Alabama Bengals family.
Where a lifelong love of cats became a dream.
My love for cats began long before Sweet Home Alabama Bengals was ever created. As a little girl, I would visit the farm where my grandfather worked milking cows, and I spent my time running around playing with the kittens. Those early memories created a connection with cats that has stayed with me throughout my life.
Over the years, that love grew into a passion for helping cats in need. I have rescued and rehabilitated many feral cats, experiences that taught me the importance of patience, trust, and compassion. Today, rescued cats remain cherished members of our family.
I have always been drawn to things that are unique, one-of-a-kind, and a little different. That same appreciation for individuality is part of what drew me to the Bengal breed.
Bengals captivated me with their exotic beauty, intelligence, athleticism, and remarkable markings. I fell in love with the Asian leopard-inspired appearance of the breed—the bold rosettes, striking coats, and unmistakable presence that make Bengals so unique.
At Sweet Home Alabama Bengals, our goal is to preserve and strengthen the qualities that first captured our hearts through thoughtful breeding, careful selection, and a commitment to the health and future of the Bengal breed.

Current Kittens
Stella & Gio
Breeding Update • Expected November 2026 if Confirmed
Stella has been bred to Gio, with kittens expected around November 23, 2026, if the breeding was successful.
Based on their DNA results, this pairing can produce seal lynx point, seal mink, and seal sepia Bengals, with expected probabilities of approximately 25% seal lynx point, 50% seal mink, and 25% seal sepia for each kitten.
Both Stella and Gio have two copies of the glitter-associated variant tested by Wisdom Panel. Gio also carries one copy of the dilute variant, giving each kitten approximately a 50% chance of inheriting and carrying dilute, although dilute kittens are not expected from this pairing.
Individual colors, patterns, markings, and other traits cannot be guaranteed before the kittens arrive.
