Why there are cheaper Bengals on the market?

"If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is"

You might experience:
-Not being able to visit the cattery and inspect and see the cleanliness, health of the animals yourself and size/style of their habitats/environment.
-Being charged to deliver a kitten to the client because they don't allow visitors.
-Not being able to meet the parents of the cats.
-Not being able to see TICA/CFA registrations for each breeding cat
-Not being able to see health records of all of the cats and kittens at the cattery.
-Extremely early neutering (8 wks to 12 wks) which can cause growth plate development issues, other development issues and expensive future surgerys ($2500 per hip x 2 for one client that received a kitten that was neutered too early - 2 individual Vet opinions). (BTW Early neutering at 4 - 6 months seems to be fine and I haven't seen issues come from this time period).
