Dani currently lives with another cat who is very shy and fearful. Prior to that she lived with three dogs – a Pomeranian and two Pit Bulls.

No question, this was a lot of pets in one small place and soon, Dani began to urinate outside her litter box. She was fully vetted for UTI/ crystals/stones and tested negative. We believe that she may suffer from Feline Lower Urinary Tract disorder (read about that here https://bengalrescue.org/resources/litter-box-issues/). This condition is completely resolvable issue! She is due to go back to the vet soon to make sure there are no other medical issues causing this problem.

We think that if Dani goes to a home with no other pets, she could reign as Queen and her litter box avoidance issues will be corrected. Dani is a wonderful cat and needs someone patient and committed to helping her with this issue.

Dani does like to chew on things like wood furniture, clothes, and cardboard boxes, and carry around some things like rubber bands and small plastic items. The owner has contacted a couple of behavioralists and tried their suggestions of sprays and feline plug-ins to help this behavior.

Dani loves running around outdoors supervised on a harness, this has not been a consistent thing but doesn’t seem to mind putting on the harness. She has been exposed to walking on a leash, but owner wouldn’t say she is “completely” trained (she’s open to it though). She doesn’t like walking in the rain.

Dani is currently being fed pate` wet food in the mornings and eats a dry food all through the day. She is eating First Mate Duck with blueberries dry food and Nulo pate`.

Dani is spayed, up to date on vaccines and is microchipped, FeLV/FIV negative, and fully vetted for Urinary Tract Infection/stones/crystals (negative). We believe if we can find her a quiet home who is experienced with resolving litter box issues, she will be a loving and wonderful companion.

They went together to our loving foster who gave them all the love and care that they could possibly give. Both of them quickly presented with virulent Upper Respiratory Infections. We got them treatment right away and hoped for a quick improvement. Artie got stronger with each day that passed – but Anna began to slip away. 

A few weeks later, when we brought Anna to the ER, the Veterinary Specialist on duty told us that Anna’s vitals were crashing beyond repair, and that the kindest thing we could do is help her cross over.

So then – Artie was alone. He lost his lady.

Our Foster worked diligently to give him all of the love and support he needed, having been through such a terrible ordeal, leading to the loss of his bonded girlfriend. He was so sad. Months went by and every day his Foster reported that his spirits were rising, and he could feel the love that was surrounding him.

One day our Foster reported that his eye started looking rather cloudy. We decided to get him to a Ophthalmology Specialist, and found out that he was suffering from an Ulcerated Cornea. We learned this condition can be quite serious, and can occur for a number of reasons. Our Veterinarian told us he’d like to get him started on a barrage of daily medications to help halt and heal the growth of this condition. We were told if the treatment didn’t work he may need to have his eye removed.

Several months later, after ensuring his medication was received, we brought him back for a re-check. Our Veterinarian was delighted!! He reported that the medication worked! His Ulcerated Cornea is healing now, and he’s now on a daily dose of drops to help keep his eye moist as it continues to heal. He’s in such better spirits now.

We normally don’t have cats in our Foster program for this long (five months), but given all that Artie was facing, we were in no rush to find him a home. We wanted to make sure that all of his medical needs were addressed before taking the leap of matching him with the perfect humans.

Artie is ready now. He has shown us that he is now a very gentle, loving, calm and collected cat. He would do well in a quieter home that has all the love and care that he would wish for.

Artie lives with other cats, and he doesn’t pay them much mind. He’s never been around dogs so we don’t know that he would be comfortable with dogs. He may do ok with an older calm cat-friendly dog, we’re not sure. He loves his 11 year old human who is very gentle and loving with him. He loves to hear her play the Piano.

Other things about Artie – if you like to sleep alone, Artie is not the guy for you. He absolutely loves sleeping with his Foster every single night. He’s a heat-seeking cuddle bug. He uses his cat scratchers (rather than the furniture) and he has absolutely perfect litter box skills. He’s also one of the rare and elusive Bengals that doesn’t mind being picked up! He usually responds with contented purring!

Arie is a rare and easygoing Bengal. He only wants love and stability. We hope to find him the right family who can give him just that.

Artie is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and we’ve spent $1,447.78 on his medical care. He should want for so little now, medically speaking.

Titan is an energetic and beautiful 5-year-old spotted male Bengal Cat. He weighs 16 lbs. and loves to rub on everyone. He is a bit of a door dasher though. They are constantly having to watch the door when coming in and out of the house.

As a young kitten the owner tried a harness and leash, but as Titan got older, they decided it would be safer to keep him strictly indoors, so he has been an indoor cat ever since.

Titus is chatty with the female owner and sleeps with her at night. He likes to play hunter and has chased Vixen down and pinned her showing his dominance. He also lives with a Mini Pincher and has chased the dog under the bed and scratched him, drawing blood. Titan seems to want to chase things smaller than him and dominated them. He is social with people.

Vixen is a shy beautiful 5-year-old female marbled Bengal cat. She weighs about 12 lbs. She is playful and affectionate on her terms. Vixen is silly, sweet, and soft. She will initiate play with Titan in the mornings and sometimes gets the zoomies. She is not overly social with humans – she often likes to watch from afar. She has been known to sleep side-by-side with Titan.

Titan and Vixen both like playing with stick toys, cat toy balls and other cat toys. They love catnip and they have two cat trees to climb on. Like most Bengals they do not like being picked up.

Recent changes in the home are the 8-month-old infant that Titan has scratched on the forehead. Titan once bit the babysitter because she stepped on him trying to keep him from going out the door.

The owner feels that they would benefit from a quieter home where they are the only cats, a home without children and no dogs and can get all the attention. Titan especially needs to be exercised and entertained, which will help him burn off all of his energy.

They are microchipped and up to date on their shots. Both have been spayed and neutered.

We believe this is completely reversible, but he’ll need to be placed in a home where the human has lots of time to engage with him and keep him stimulated. He definitely could be trained to use a harness / leash (treats!). He’s guilty only of having lots of energy and a busy household that doesn’t have the time he needs for exercise and stimulation.

As a kitten, he played with the resident cat – but as Baby Cat grew older, he started bullying the his senior companion. Ever since he was given access to the outdoors, he would immediately begin to bully the other cat when he came indoors. His owner thinks he would do better if he were an only cat and was able to command his human’s full attention.

Baby Cat can be chatty when he is seeking attention or wants outdoors. He is playful and affectionate. He’s definitely a high energy guy. Baby Cat has two children in the home (ages 2 and 9 months old) and has been scratching them when they want to play with him. He does not like to be chased or pulled on. The last time he went to scratch the child the husband intervened and got scratched badly. So, owner believes Baby Cat would not be good in a home with no children.

He does like scratches under the chin, hunting and stalking things and did love playing with stuffed animals for a time. Since he has been allowed outside, he has become wilder in his personality and does not seek closeness with the owner.

Baby Cat’s owner believes that he would benefit from a quieter home where he is an only cat and can get all the attention. He needs to learn to be an indoor cat again and develop a bond with his humans. Leash training may help with this.

Baby Cat is up to date on vaccinations, is neutered and microchipped. The owner feeds him the same cat food as the other cat and it has urinary problems, so his diet needs improvement.

PG’s owner elected to euthanize her for fear of a decreased quality of life if she would need to be kept indoors. Her doctors contacted us at Bengal Rescue and we agreed to take her in. 

We authorized removal of PG’s eye, in order to avoid the high risk of infection and alleviate her pain. While she was at the hospital, we ordered a blood panel and SNAP Test. Her SNAP Test came back and she tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). We ordered a second panel just in case the in-house test was faulty (this does happen from time to time – not the Vet’s fault – more like an error caused by the test kit). The outside test came back as FIV+, as well. 

Pretty Girl recovered at the animal hospital where everyone fell in love with her – so much so – that one of the employees at that hospital took her home to foster her. She’s been doing great with her Foster family and we’re now ready to find her the perfect forever home.

While PG is VERY healthy, she does have FIV, which is a type of virus that typically causes some weakening of a cat’s immune system. It is a cat-only virus and cannot be spread through casual friendly contact between cats. FIV+ cats can and DO live quite normal lives in quality, duration, and happiness. Note that if a cat has previously been vaccinated for FIV, the kitty will test positive even if the virus is not present. A good website is FIVCats.com, and an informative article about FIV can be found at https://resources.bestfriends.org/…/fiv-cats-faqs…

Currently she is living at a foster home with very large energetic dogs (she’s living separate from them). They do make her nervous. However – we do believe that she could live with a mellow dog who has lived with a cat before, and who will not harass her. She could go to a home with a mellow FIV+ cat. Previously she lived with children but was constantly wanting to go outside. We believe that children over the age of 10, who have been taught proper cat handling techniques, would be OK with PG.

PG is a very affectionate girl and loves to give kisses. She is a big talker and will let you know when she is in need of attention but is very low maintenance. You would never know she is nine years old, as she is still frisky and full of personality. 

Pretty girl is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.
