Our Gentleman
Leone di’ Pepe, Mr. Wilson, and Chickpea.
Leone di’ Pepe
Our Italian Stud, Leone came to us from Bengal Best located on the Mediterranean cost just outside of the Cinque Terre, part of the Italian riviera. He has such a laid back personality, literally getting along with everyone! He is always giving us, our other Bengals, and Ody (our dog) kisses! He has fathered one litter with Bean and we will be expecting a second litter between these two again Spring of 2026.
Leone di’ Pepe (As a baby)
As you can see he was beautiful at birth! One of the amazing things about Bengal cats is that their coats change and become more defined over time! Photo from Bengal Best!
Leone di’ Pepe (Juvenile)
A Charcoal Silver that carries for Burmese! We use Wisdom Panel for genetic screening and Leone is N/N for PKD an PRA-b and had a HCM ultrasound of his heart in 2025 that was all clear!
Leone di’ Pepe (Adult)
A little something wild inside, and still the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet. He is a lover to all of our animals, especially our dog Ody! Such a beautiful boy with an outstanding personality.
Leone di’ Pepe (Past Litters)
Leone and Bean have had one litter together with their second due Spring of 2026. Their first litter was a rainbow, pictured above a Charcoal Silver, Charcoal Sepia, Smoke and Smoke Mink!
Mr. Wilson
Mr. Wilson came to us from Bell Arista Bengals in North Central Florida! He is our oldest boy born in 2022 and is most definitely the Alpha male around here! How God opened the door for us to find Mr. Wilson is so special! We did not know, until we drove to FL to pick him up, that he comes from the same bloodline of Bengals as our boy Chase! We rescued Chase, our first Bengal, in 2020 and he changed our lives! He is the reason we are breeding Bengals today! We see Chase in him, he is sweet, smart, vocal and well, just the most beautiful boy inside and out!
Mr. Wilson
Mr. Wilson loves to go for long walks in the woods and roll around in the leaves. His favorite place in on Michelle’s lap and he truly is a lover! He has a wonderful disposition and his off-spring have displayed the same qualities, very loving and affectionate. Mr. Wilson is beautiful inside and out with a full rosetted pattern.
Mr. Wilson
A Brown beauty that carries for Siamese! We use Wisdom Panel for genetic screening and Mr. Wilson is N/N for PKD an PRA-b and had a HCM ultrasound of his heart in 2024 that was all clear!
Mr. Wilson (Juvenile)
He speaks to us with his eyes! Love me, pet me, hold me and let me stay on your lap forever! We love this boy so much!
Mr. Wilson (Past Litters)
Pluie and Mr. Wilson have had two litters together with a third due 1/27/2026! They make such beautiful babies together!
Chickpea
Son to our Italian Stud, Leone and Frances Bean from the UK, born 6/8/2025 here at Eastward Gardens Bengals. He was the unicorn of the litter, a Smoke Mink, and we knew from the moment he was born he was special! We are hoping to breed him in 2026 with a new female from Kentucky Wildcat Bengals …stay tuned for more details!
Chickpea (As a baby)
Where do I begin…he was born meowing and continues to be very vocal! He is a mamas boy, meaning he is in love with Michelle, and let’s just say the feelings are mutual! Fun, playful and always making us smile, the perfect combination of Mama Bean and Leone!
Chickpea (5 months old)
A Smoke Mink that is a/a with two copies of glitter! We use Wisdom Panel for genetic screening and Chickpea is N/N for PKD an PRA-b and will have a HCM ultrasound of his heart Fall 2026. Once he is all clear he will become part of our breeding program!
Chickpea (7 months old)
As he continues to grow and mature his coat has become more defined, with a unique rich chocolate color! His eyes are becoming more aqua and his heart just keeps getting sweeter! Definitely our most snuggly Bengal yet!
Love at First Site
From the moment he was born I knew he would be staying! He is now 7 months old and still snuggling with me every night! We are so blessed to have him and we cant wait to see the incredible babies he fatheres in the future!
