Breeder's Brochure Available TIBCS has a new brochure that is designed for breeders considering joining TIBCS, titled "A Bengal Breeder's Best Friend". The brochure is on our website on the Forms and Docs page under documents or directly at http://www.tibcs.com/breeders.pdf It's available for download and printing. In addition we hope soon to have it available for purchase pre-printed for a small fee. Everyone is invited to take it to shows to give Bengal breeders who haven't yet discovered TIBCS yet.   Bengals Are Most Popular Breed of Cat The Bengal has topped The International Cat Association's (TICA's) list of the most kittens and cats, for the first time ever. The Bengal has more than 60,000 kittens and cats around the world, according to TICA. This makes them the most popular breed of 2008, finally ahead of such breeds as the Persian, Ragdoll, Maine Coon, and Siamese. TICA recognizes 55 breeds of cats.

Heritage Conservation Fund TIBCS is celebrating its TWENTIETH year of Bengal Bulletin publication with a special tribute to the ALC foundation of our breed. To honor this historic anniversary year, the TIBCS Executive Board has established a new charitable endeavor, our Heritage Conservation Fund, to collect donations each year to award a grant each January to a group working to preserve ALC habitat in the wild. While the Asian Leopard Cat is widely distributed and uses various environments, populations are under increasing threats from habitat destruction, hunting, and trapping. Anthony Hutcherson and Karen Sausman have assisted in establishing guidelines for this Fund; both are uniquely qualified to do so.   Got News? Drop a line to news@tbcs.com.
