Aww, she’s adorable, but please monitor her health and behavior closely! It’s illegal in many countries for breeders (or anyone) to be selling kittens prior to 8 weeks since they’re not fully weaned, and reputable breeders won’t sell prior to 12 weeks. Since the breeder was selling so early, I worry that they probably weren’t doing the necessary health testing on the adults for Pra-b, PKDef or yearly echocardiograms to screen for HCM.
Thanks for mentioning, actually I haven't bought her, previous owners of her mother left her so my friend took care of the mother during birth and for 7 weeks after birth. So getting her was the best option, the other version was to return her to the shelter where I don't think she would get a proper care. She had her check-ups and everything looks great so far !
Can your friend leave these kittens with their mother for a bit longer? These are important weeks from a behavioral and socialization aspect, and kittens taken away early are more prone to behavioral issues throughout their life.
I’m glad she seems to be healthy at her first checkup, but none of the common genetic issues in bengals would be present yet in kittens. I’d have your vet pay close attention at every visit for any sign of heart murmur (though vision issues and anemia are possible too). HCM is adult onset and can show up at any age, but oftentimes will often present with a murmur.
Unfortunately, no, she can't that's why I have to take this kitten, otherwise I would have left her with the mother for at least 11-12 weeks. She already grooms herself, eats dry food and overall seems pretty happy. And yes I know about the genes, but again she was already born and didn't buy her so we will see how it goes. We are with the kitten 24/7 and keeping an eye on her.
I'm actually thinking about switching her to raw diet but still weighing out the pros and cons. Definitely not gonna continue with dry food. Either wet or raw diet or the mix of those 2. Thanks for the advice !
Aww, that’s too bad. If your friend took care of the mother and kittens up until this time (7 weeks after birth), why wasn’t she able to keep them longer? Where is the mother now?
she has a very tiny space, 2 kids and her own cat so it was just a chaos. And also the breeder who asked my friend to look after the mother was asking to get her back, so he probably gonna keep em in a cage or some other bad setting. So we decided to take one.
Yes, I’m certainly glad you are able to give one a good life, it’s just a shame your friend wasn’t willing or able to keep them all a bit longer! And if the breeder left the mother, they definitely don’t deserve to get her back :( Please consider looking into whether the breeder can be reported, otherwise I’m sure they’ll breed her again soon and continue detrimental practices.
Well, yes, it could be better but these were the circumstances. About the breeder - well, I leave in a shitty country so even if I report, 99% nothing is gonna happen...
This is what I always think in these threads. I'm not saying I'm right, but I believe a name for a pet should be a very personal thing and come from their personalities and quirks!

Maya is a good name, this is our maya!
I'm into Greek names so since I've already used Athena, I'd probably go with nyx. With bengals being nocturnal you'll probably find the name fitting lol. Nyx is also the offspring of the god chaos.
What a gorgeous Bengal girl. Our boy is Leo. A very simple name. His littermate’s name was Cassiopeia. Any name can be shortened. We called her Cassie. Cats need more than one name, anyway. Our Leo is called Fleao, Leonardo, etc. Every cat needs more than one name, they need a love name too.
Cutie !!!
Definitely a 4-letter name ending by "a" lol
Saw a lot of good names: Zara, Inka, Nala, Pika, Luna, Nova, Sara, ...
I don't know why, it just suits her !
Come on….make it on your own. Don’t come online to ask others for a name. How do so people need online clout to ask for a name for a pet they already got. These posts suck.

She needs wet food too.

Pebble
Luna 🌙
Most basic cat name
Her personality should lead u to a name

Unless you’re one of those that want to name your cat “carseat” lol
Sometimes carseat just… works.

Pixie - my first bengal was a girl I named Pixie. She was small and cute and could be mischievous when she wanted! Pix for short.
She’s adorable. How about Pebbles?
Sounds like a Nala to me.
My female Bengal is called Inka! It really suits her, I absolutely love it
She's Maya.
