ALC's - Asian Leopard Cats
The Foundation of the Bengal Breed
The Origins of the Bengal Breed
Asian Leopard Cats (Prionailurus bengalensis) are small wild felids native to South and East Asia. They are the wild ancestors from which all domestic Bengal cats originate.
At Texas Star Bengals, our early generation F1 and F2 foundation lines honor the wild beauty, pelt contrast, and athletic elegance of the ALC while fostering gentle domestic temperaments.
