Stop right here and disregard all these fake reviews below. It’s unbelievable how aggressive some people are in trying to destroy Dawn’s reputation. We got our bengal boy Sushi from Dawn a few months ago and we couldn’t say a single bad thing about her and her cattery. You can tell all those reviews are fake as they don’t mention names, genders, details or any specifics about “alleged interactions”. If they had truly contacted Dawn, they would know this is not “a business”, they would know there is no “their” customer service as there’s only one good soul who loves her cats and treats them like family.First of all, about a year ago, my wife started researching bengal breeders and found Dawn through the TICA website as she’s a TICA registered breeder (far away from fake!!)We first emailed stating that we were looking for a brown boy. She got back to us immediately telling us that she didn’t have any kittens immediately available. We got busy and didn’t have a chance to immediately reply (we are both in the Medocal field and it was in the middle of covid lockdown), a few days later, we woke up to another email from Dawn telling us that there’s some other breeders she’s friends with who have kittens available and she would be more than happy to reach out to them and advocate for us so we can get a kitten earlier as her own waitlist was at least 6 months long…. This is when we knew she was a truly good person and this wasn’t a business and “money making machine” for her. We called her, immediately connected with her right away and knew that she was the person we wanted to get a cat from. We waited patiently until it was our turn. The moment a litter came around, she reached out to us, sent us photos and videos and sure enough we went and visited the day old kittens. Thought the wait time, we remained in touch, always updated on the progress. While they were growing, she sent us videos and photos of the growing babies.Her cats are part of her family, well integrated, loved and socialized which we’ve seen with our own eyes. They run around and play and are not held captive in a breeding facility. There’s obviously need for isolation at times to get the moms a moment to rest from their babies, especially as they grow older and gain (too) energy. Their area is super clean and well organized and made with love. The dads have their own spacious houses that are beyond imaginable how much attention to detail was paid when built.Anyway, the deposit was minimal (you can tell she’s doing this out of love for the breed) Payment was easy, she never changed rates on us. I know about other breeders in San Diego areas who constant keep changing rates depending on “how many interest a specific kitten gets”. None of that BS with Dawn: what was said more than a year ago, was what we paid and she was very very fair.What is most important, however, the cats are loved, cared for, NOT overbred. She works so hard on finding homes for rescues and her main goal of her breeding program is to create not only beautiful cats from the outside but also beautiful souls and characters from the inside - the perfect loving companion without behavioral issues. Out kitten is truly everything we had ever imagined. So well socialized, travels well, trainable, not destructive and mostly loving beyond expression.It hurts my heart to see all these fake reviews that are generic and trying to destroy Dawn’s reputation. You can tell by how generic they are that someone has only evil in mind. Please don’t listen to these and form your own opinion by contacting Dawn and all you’d doubts will be gone in a split second…

I do not understand any of these bad reviews! Dawn is anything but a fraud (she is TICA registered--you can look it up on the official site!). I adopted my bengal kitty from her in March, and I could not be more pleased. I first contacted Dawn in January about kitten availability, and throughout the entire process she was so kind. She sent me photos and videos weekly and made sure I was involved as my kitten grew up. She released the kitten to me when she was properly weaned and able to go home. (Trust me-- it was the longest wait of my life!) I had no doubt in her care and love for her cats, and they truly are raised in her family home, surrounded by children and with hands-on attention. I have visited her home personally, and can attest to this fact.My kitten is a gorgeous marble bengal, so sweet and playful, and I honestly couldnt ask for a better bengal cat. She follows me like a puppy and never leaves my side. I am already looking forward to getting our next kitty from Dawn!

I had a longing for a kitten for some time, so I called Dawn out of the blue to see if she had any silver begals and to my surprise she did! 5 weeks later we got our girl, Ellie. The very next day, I saw her page and there was a black bengal that needed a home, so we brought her home too! Dawns knowledge, expertise and patience with my many questions is the only reason I considered her company. We love our girls!

I adopted Tigress, a retired three year old queen from Exotic Bengals. She is a beautiful well taken care of cat, good natured and very sweet. Dawn, the owner was amazing, kind and very helpful in giving all the required papers and information. It was a very easy adoption process. The follow up has been great too. Dawn is always available to answer any questions and sometimes texts just to say hi and check in to see how we are doing. I highly recommend them when you choose a Bengal to be part of your family.

We got our bengal who is beautiful, healthy, and all papers. So many scammers out there but not here!! They were so professional, caring and committed to our happiness and I had no hesitation in working with them. I would recommend highly!!

Very caring breeder.....we had a very good experience. She sent us pics, videos, all throughout the birth through pickup time when weened. Thank you!

Youll never find a better Bengal kitten breeder. Exotic Bengals of San Diego is truly a home without cages, with an environment youd want to get a new fur baby from. Dawn, the breeder is so knowledgeable. and her love of Bengals comes through. She is so supportive, even after you adopt your new Bengal kitten.

I am a real human reviewing this breeder - not a troll trying to destroy their livelihood like the recent 10+ 1 star reviews all coincidentally 2 weeks old. What a coincidence!!!I contacted Dawn @ EBSD 7 months ago when my 18 year old cat died. I currently have a contract with her awaiting a new baby kitty to be weened this August. She has been responsive, professional, and caring for 7 months while I emailed her, texted, and was a wishy washy buyer until I finally sent the deposit.In my excitement that our kitty was born I went online and saw the influx of 1 star reviews. They are all bogus,. They are all the same date, by random people spewing the same generic drivel. Disregard. Hopefully Google gets a clue.I have no professional relationship with Dawn. We are not friends. I am just a client and I know these recent review are BOGUS. You can reach out to me. I will talk to you in person - unlike these trolls.

I’m so thankful to have experienced my Bengal adoption with Dawn through Exotic Bengals. Not only is she very professional and responsive, she is also very caring. I put down a deposit for the type of Bengal I wanted, was notified of upcoming litters, and received pictures soon after birth. Was able to meet and choose my kitty, Mushu. Afterwards, I got weekly pictures and updates of him being homeschooled with her kids, getting snuggles on the couch, and playing. My kitty came to me healthy, playful, and litter trained.

Exotic Bengals of San Diego is an amazing experience. The breeder Dawn is very professional, friendly, kind, supportive, knowledgeable about Bengal cats, and truly cares and loves her Bengals. Her Bengal cats are very beautiful and well taken care of. Dawn is an effective communicate, any questions you have she will reply promptly. The wonderful support she provides is before and after you adopt your Bengal kitten. She also sends you adorable pictures throughout your Bengal Kitten stages of life by email or text. I truly loved working with Exotic Bengals of San Diego, it is highly recommended! It’s a wonderful feeling knowing that your sweet cute bundle of joy Bengal kitten is from a loving and caring home.Thank you Dawn, you made this an experience I will never forget!Wishing Exotic Bengals of San Diego all the best!

The cats were beautiful and well taken care of. They looked healthy and were very sociable.

You’ll find no cages, only beautiful Bengals raised underfoot with love and care.

Very nice!
