Meet our program helpers!
Our cattery has a few extra-special cats who play a big role behind the scenes. These are the ones who help keep the peace, guide the kittens in learning "how to cat," offer companionship to our breeding cats, and assist with socialization every step of the way.
At Bengals Reign, we’re lucky to have two incredible program helpers:
🐾 Bengals Reign Pepe Le Pew
🐾 Elysian Bengals Inkeri of Bengals Reign
Both of these wonderful cats are spayed/neutered and not part of our breeding program, but they’re absolutely essential to the flow of our home. As social, and confident adults, they provide gentle mentorship to our kittens, help our queens and stud feel at ease, and remind us every day why Bengals are so special.They’re truly the heart of our crew! Social butterflies, kitten teachers, and all-around role models!
Bengals Reign Pepe Le Pew
Pepe Le Pew: the kitten that stayed.
Pepe is the keeper from our very first litter between Poshbengalspots Sassa of Bengals Reign and Lindquistfamilybengals Harley—and we couldn’t be more grateful he stayed. This handsome Silver Sheeted Marble boy is unbelievably soft (seriously, like velvet!) and came into the world with a naturally chill, “cool cat” vibe.
From day one, Pepe made his role clear, he’s our peacekeeper. He brings calm to Sassa when hormones are running high, and he's been the perfect companion to our males, offering company without chaos. He's the ultimate blend of calm and clever, with a sharp mind and incredible athleticism, nobody climbs like Pepe!
Sweet-natured, steady, and endlessly kind, Pepe is a vital part of our cattery family. Though he’s neutered and not in our breeding program, his presence is just as important. He helps shape the tone of our space and sets a shining example for the kittens who look up to him.
Elysian Bengals Inkeri of Bengals Reign
Inkeri – Our Nosey Ninny & Resident Auntie
Inkeri originally joined us as a future queen, but during her first heart screening, early signs of HCM were detected—making her ineligible for breeding. And honestly? That’s completely okay. Because Inkeri has absolutely stolen our hearts.
With her bold, nosey, and endlessly energetic personality, she brings a special spark to our home. She’s the self-appointed “kitty auntie,” always eager to help raise the next generation. When little Athena was born, Inkeri took her under her wing, teaching her how to play, explore, and fully embrace the art of being a Bengal. These two are now inseparable: napping in sunbeams or tearing through the house together in full-speed zoomies. Our dynamic duo of mischief!
Inkeri is also a grounding force for our spunky male, Elysian Bengals Chuluthu of Bengals Reign, one of the few cats who can put him in his place when needed. She’s incredibly respectful with our queens and always waits patiently for momma Sassa to give the go-ahead before jumping in to play with the kittens.
Affectionate, playful, and endlessly social, Inkeri is our little social butterfly, fluttering between every member of the household and spreading joy wherever she goes. We truly can’t imagine cattery life without her.
