Here’s Dominic’s story.

Dominic was surrendered to a shelter in Utah - and we have no idea why. He’s a sweetheart! But when he found himself in such a scary setting, the shelter couldn’t tell that. He was so stressed out they could hardly touch him.

Not only was he TERRIFIED, he was also suffering from Gastrointestinal (GI) distress. The Shelter didn’t have the ability to fully test exactly what might be troubling him, so they called to see if we’d be willing to take over his case.

We placed Dominic in a loving and experienced Foster home who has fostered for us many times. We made sure to assess his diet and also his medical needs. This poor little guy was suffering from fecal distress, and we knew we’d have to get to the bottom of this (pun intended!) so that we could help ease his distress.

😻 Personality 😻

Dominic is a SWEET and loving boy. He’s so curious about everything!

We have learned that he is extremely clingy and affectionate with his fosters. So much so that his foster tells us: “He’s definitely anxious when left in a room, even if he has the ability to follow me. A person that works from home might be best for him.”

Dominic loves to nap and cuddle with his humans. Someone who wants a lap cat could be well suited for him (something we RARELY say about Bengals). He does have a lot of energy, loves to play with the wand toy; but when it's nap time, he's down for the count.

Dominic is living with two other Bengals, and our foster reports that he has issues with swatting and approaching the other cats when they're relaxing. He often stalks them, even though they aren't instigating. For this reason we think integrating with a multi-cat family probably won’t be best for him. It’s possible he’d do well with a younger cat but we’d rather set him up for success, right out of the gate.

🩺 Medical Info 🩺

Dominic came to us already neutered, and he had been vaccinated by the shelter with his the Rabies vaccine.

Given his GI distress upon his transfer to us, our first call to action was to run a full fecal panel on him to see if he might have a parasite. We were relieved to find out that his broad spectrum panel tested NEGATIVE for Tritrichomonas, Cryptosporidium, giardia, salmonella, toxoplasma, panleukopenia, and campylobacter.

Bengals are KNOWN to have sensitive GI Tracts. We know this! Making things a wee bit more complicated, not every Bengal has the same dietary needs. This is why they are in foster care with us for lengthier stays, over most Domestic Cat rescues.

Dominic is truly turning the corner now. We found success with feeding him Hills GI Biome canned food. We’re also providing him with Psyllium powder and the supplement is really helping his GI tract settle now.

As stated above, Dominic is neutered. He tested negative for FeLV / FIV, and negative for pathogens / parasites. He received his FVRCP vaccine, and he is microchipped as well.

If you could offer Dominic a loving lap to lie in, and are willing to ensure his diet is adhered to, we’d love it if you filled out our adoption application.

At the young age of 5, Bam has reached the stage where he’s left his crazy kitten antics behind, turning him into a remarkably easy-going adult.

Don’t let that fool you though - he still has plenty of “spice” - especially where veterinarians are concerned (he had to be sedated at his Vet visit).

Bam landed at the Irvine Animal Control facility - THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS! The poor guy was SO STRESSED OUT and heartbroken that the shelter staff could barely touch him. They medicated him with Gabapentin to help with his anxiety and fear while he was a shelter resident.

From what we understand, Bam was surrendered by his family who had a multi-cat household, and he wasn’t happy with those arrangements.

Bam is currently living in a loving foster home who is deeply experienced with the Bengal breed. His foster has another Bengals in the home and reports that he’s a bit of a bully with other cat. For this reason we know he would thrive being the only feline in the home.

Bam arrived at our Foster home on January 3, 2026. Since then, our foster has given him a tremendous amount of space and time to adjust to his “new normal.” They TRULY love him but know that he’s not wanting to share his world with another feline.

Here’s what Bam’s Foster wants you to know about him.

Bam is very loving! He rubs on people and head-butts the wall (LOL). He snuggles at night and sleeps on the foot of my bed. He will sit in your lap when he wants to.
He’s playful, absolutely loves treats, and he’s always up for a good scratch session behind his ears. He’s remarkably low-key and truly a “laid-back dude.”

If you love a talkative Bengal, Bam’s your man! He always has something to say - and plenty of it. He’s extremely conversational and engaged with his people. His foster says “If we ignore him - he gets louder 🙂 “

Bam is happy to cuddle up next to his humans and snooze. He’s such a love!

Bam is a perfect gentleman when it comes to litter box manners. He enjoys wet food and doesn’t seem interested in dry food (which is great!).

Although Bam is slow to warm up to strangers, he’s definitely adjusted beautifully to his Foster family’s slow and gentle pace. He feels all of the love that is his to take, and we’re so happy we could take time and not have to rush his journey.

His foster says that he is fascinated by their dogs, but hasn’t had direct physical interaction. This is why we think a cat-friendly dog who will respect his boundaries, could be an option.

We don’t know if Bam was ever around children, and he isn’t now, so we think a home with cat-savvy children who are 12+ years’ old is a possibility.

Bam DEFINITELY dislikes being picked up (his foster says “I can, but I am the only one”), and he is terrified of the Vet. Our Foster can see that he truly hates sharing his space (kingdom) with their other Bengal.

Overall Bam is an extremely healthy boy. He is neutered, vaccinated, and tested negative for FeLV / FIV. As mentioned, he has perfect litter box skills.
We know that in the right home with the right person, Bam will truly blossom. Look how great he’s doing already, in such a short time?
