They spent their life living in such neglect, we’ve now spent over $2,124.14 to get these boys all the care they needed and back to good health.

They have had quite the journey coming to Utah and have been in an experienced and loving foster home since early August, where they worked to recover and be socialized. They are now at a good weight, they are extremely loving – thriving – and are looking for a forever home.

When Blaze arrived at our foster home, he had several health issues- most of which have been resolved and some that are still outstanding. He had a severe case of ear mites that took three rounds of treatments to clear, and had an antibiotic-resistant upper respiratory infection, which took over a month of antibiotic treatment to combat it.

Blaze was still experiencing nasal distress, so he next underwent a surgical nasal wash procedure, with the hopes that that would clear out the “yuckies” and help him recover from his URI. During the procedure, our Veterinarian found ear mites in his nasal passages (!!! That’s a new one for us !!!). Following the procedure, this condition is now resolved. Comet had ear mites as well and has also undergone treatment and he too is now in the clear.

Both Blaze and Comet are extremely bonded to each other. They snuggled with each other when they first came to live with their foster and have become independent as they adjusted to the new living environment. They are both extremely loving, don’t scratch the furniture, and get along really well with each other. Though there are times Comet can annoy Blaze (he’s got really high energy whereas Blaze is more low-key), they always find a way to work it out and are soon found snuggling together after any “misunderstandings”. They love to climb scratching posts, love to play with tunnels, lasers, feather toys, catnip kickers and other small toys. But what they love the most is human affection and attention.

Blaze is so very smart and he is extremely wise. He likes to run and climb, he LOVES to snuggle, and sleeps under the arm of the foster all night. To our surprise, he’s even slept snuggled up with our Foster’s grandkids (ages 9 and 14) when they stay over. Blaze also loves to curl up inside of a folded sleeping bag. He likes to be high to observe what is going on in the home, and because he lived in a home with at least 15 other cats, he somehow managed to navigate that crowded situation which is why we think he is able to get along with the other cats at his foster home.

Comet is young and has lots of energy. He runs, leaps and flies when he is playing. He loves darting through the tunnels. He is very curious, and he loves to give love, kisses, and head butts. Comet sleeps on or by the legs of our foster human at night. Comet doesn’t get along with the other cats in the house though – only Blaze. We believe this is because he’s a little bit socially awkward with cats he does not know. He trusts Blaze, so it works! Because Comet is so active, he can sometimes be too much for Blaze – but they do love each other and Blaze is really patient with him. Comet needs lots of individual play time to tire him out before bed.

We think they would do well in a house where they are the only pets, because they did come from a hoarding situation where resources were scarce (they lived on a diet of dry Friskies). We know they had to fight for the “basics” – thus the condition that they were in when we brought them into our rescue. We think too many other pets in their prior home has made them a little shy and protective of each other.

These boys are okay with older children, as long as their space is respected and the children have been taught proper petting techniques. They have not been around dogs so we do not think they would be open to that.

Blaze and Comet have extremely loving nature, however they will need a home that will be open and patient as they navigate their new environment. Because they have so much affection they want to share, they do want a home that is equally affectionate as they are. Overall they are very happy and well-adjusted cats.

Blaze and Comet have been neutered and microchipped and are up to date on vaccinations. They even have perfect litter box skills!

We heard about Rocky last month, when a woman reached out to us and told us his story. He originally belonged to a couple who got him when he was a kitten. But when the couple ended up divorcing, he was left with nowhere to go. They placed him with a family that was unsuccessful with him due to his dislike of the bustling nature of the home. 

We brought him into our program and he went to a very loving foster who was committed to giving him a safe, loving, calm environment where he could decompress, and we could get to know him better.

Here is what we have learned about Rocky.

Rocky is not fond of other cats, or dogs and of loud sudden noises. His ideal home would be as an only cat in a home with an adult (s) that can give him the love and attention he needs.

Rocky is a sweet and healthy cat. His agility is limited because he is front declawed, although he prefers to jump rather than climb.

Rocky is sociable, curious, bold, and sassy. He is not a finicky eater and has a healthy appetite; he is highly food-motivated. We are extremely pleased that he has excellent litter box habits.

Rocky uses a cat wheel independently as exercise time. He is eager to please, responds well to catnip and is easily redirected after unwanted behavior. He loves squeaky toys, chasing feathered prey with a wand and playing fetch when the mood hits him.

Rocky can be vocal, independent, and stubborn. He has some separation anxiety but is seeing daily improvement with this. Rocky does not like being picked up or held and will warn you to put him down by growling and squirming.

Rocky seeks affection on his terms. He is not a “lap kitty” or couch potato, having moderate energy level. Rocky is afraid of sudden loud noises, like garbage trucks and is a sneaky “door dasher”. New owners will have to be aware of him when he is close to doors.

Our foster has been slowly getting Rocky used to a harness although not ready for leash walking yet. When Rocky is upset with because he didn’t get his way, he likes to turn his “backside” to his humans in protest.

Rocky enjoys being gently brushed. He is mesmerized watching critters on Cat TV. At the end of the day, after being fed and the sun is down, don’t be surprised if Rocky lies down beside you on the couch for a while. He is happiest lounging in a sunny spot.

Rocky is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If you are interested in adopting Rocky, please fill out our adoption application https://bengalrescue.org/adopt/adoption-application/

Dottie Has been showing signs of stress because the other cat will not let her be in the same places, like one the bed with owner or next to the owner on the couch. Dottie started showing stress through peeing outside her litter box about 6 weeks ago. The owner says both cats will sleep next to one another in their individual beds with no problems. There are no attacks happening, but Dottie will definitely look around to see where Lola is before she ventures to areas that Lola frequents (i.e. her bed)

She has been to the vet (Sept 2022) and has been checked for stones and crystals and are negative for these medical conditions. We think it could be a behavior issue, showing she is stressed living with Lola. The owner has tried replacing litter, adding new litter boxes, and providing a quality life without medicating Dottie. Both cats can be close together eating and have even curled up close to one another in the past, so the owner is not sure what is going on between the two cats. Because Dottie is marking around the house the owner thinks Dottie would be better in a home with no other cats or animals in the home as long as her humans were around to engaged her with play and attention.

Dottie is on a raw chicken diet, a local brand, called Rawr. (https//www.eatlikealion.com/) She will also eat high quality no grain kibble and sometimes steals Fancy Feast that the owner feed to the other cat.

Dottie loves catnip (spray & plant), wand toys, small glittery balls, toys she can carry around in her mouth. Absolutely loves climbing and loves to be up high so she can observe what is happening in the home. She loves her cheeks to be scratched and loves her cat beds. Dottie is chatty and seeks to be seen and heard.

Dottie, like a typical Bengal doesn’t like to be held or picked up; she is very squirmy. She doesn’t like her nails trimmed at home. She doesn’t like being locked up or in a confined space. Dottie will howl in that situation. She has become more vocal and living in an apartment the owner is concerned the neighbors will begin to complain. She just wants the option of going into a room if she wants so closed doors bother her. The owner says she is definitely a “door darter”, but has not attempted to go outside the apartment, it is more rushing into the different rooms of the apartment that have been closed off to her.

She is very social with her human companion and wants to be close. Dottie will greet the owner at the door is sweet, humorous, and energetic. She is beautiful and has extraordinary markings. He owner is sad about this rehoming of a lovely cat, but wants to find her a forever home suited better for her so she doesn’t have to deal with stress. 

She is spayed, microchipped and has been an indoor cat her whole life. On the recommendation of the breeder Dottie has had her shots as a kitten. If you are interested in adopting beautiful Dottie, please fill out our Adoption application: https://bengalrescue.org/adopt/adoption-application/

We normally post a lot of photos with each of our Bios but the family had a really tough time getting her to STOP MOVING long enough to get us a good set of photos! This is why we’re posting a video instead.

Here’s Charm’s family would like you to know about her:

Charm is an amazing cat. She is affectionate and loves to be around her people. She is a little shy in a new environment but will adjust quickly if people are patient with her. She does like the wand toys, balls, and other toys. She loves her cat tree. Charm is such a sweetheart and is very smart. She can be a loud chatter box when she wants something.

Charm was spraying in the room where she was kept just after being spayed but she is not doing that anymore. Prior to her spay she did have a problem peeing on a bed in the room. But there is no bed in her room now so we are not sure if she still does that. She doesn’t like being held and it can be difficult to give her medicine.

Charm can be stubborn-she wants what she wants. Because she is in one room, she can be a bit of a door-darter so someone will have to be very careful with her and watch for this behavior. Charm does not like having her temperature taken at all. The vet had a hard time and even skipped it at her recent exam.

While Charm does enjoy being near humans, she is not fond of the elderly resident cat. There is a dog in the home, but we were worried about her swatting at him, so there has not been any close contact with the dog. She might warm up to a cat-friendly dog with the proper slow introductions.

Charm has been around teenagers and has been okay if they respect her space. Charm has never bitten anyone. She tends to slobber some when she is being petted, we think that is really cute!

Charm would be fine as an only cat but might be okay with male cat with slow introduction. The introductions would have to be slow and steady (Bengal Rescue has great information on their website about how to do this properly.

Currently Charm weighs 7.8 pounds. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and is microchipped.

Charm does use her litter box and likes clay over the pellet type of litter. She eats a combination of Tiki Cat dry food and Friskies wet food.

At his Foster home he does well with the other cats and with the cat-friendly dogs in the home. He’s super-playful and perpetually “busy” himself.

Here’s what Titus loves:

• Playing with stuffed animals, toys, humans, and the other cats in the home
• Stealing whatever you might be eating
• Opening cabinets in search of treats – and when he finds them – he likes to tear apart the bag and inhale the entire contents.
• Door darting. If there is the slightest chance he can squeeze out the door when you’re coming or going – he will. 
• Finding the highest spots to gaze down upon his Pride.
• Singing the song of his people! He talks ALL the time. Literally – ALL the time. 

Here’s what Titus doesn’t love:

• Closed doors give him separation anxiety. He needs to be with you at all times.
• The resident Husky. The Husky is too much for Titus. 
• Boredom. If he doesn’t have enough to do, he will literally climb the walls (and he scratches up the walls when he’s bored).
• Harness / leash adventures. He’s scared of the outdoors (even if he does door-dart) and he’ll rip off any harness you try to put on him. He needs to be strictly indoors.

Titus is neutered, vaccinated and has suffered in the past with crystals in his urine. He needs to stay on a prescription diet to help control the crystals so he can be his best self.

The shelter called us and because we are a breed-specific rescue, we think they assumed we would only take the Savannah cat (Simon, formerly “Poe”) and didn’t mention that his best buddy Jagg (formerly “Chewy”) – a domestic shorthaired tabby cat – had been left behind at the shelter. It was only after we got Simon and were able to review the paperwork, that we learned that he had a best friend who would dearly miss him (and vice-versa). We just couldn’t BEAR to separate them so off we went, back to the shelter to collect Jagg.

Original owner’s statement on their surrender forms:

“Poe and his brother Chewy have been together ever since we rescued them in Mississippi. They have always looked out for one another. Poe has Savannah cat in him so it has been best for him to go outside and roam everyday. He will not do very well if he is inside 24/7. When he does come inside, he likes to eat wet food and then sleep / nap. He will nap on your chest and on a blanket if you’ll let him. He also loves to give kisses and nose boops. If he does that to you, you know he loves you. Jagg is a huge lap cat! Will sleep w/you in bed at night. He loves to go outside and lay in the sun or tall grass. He doesn’t stray as far from home as his brother does. He also loves watching bird or chipmunk videos on YouTube if you leave the house. He’s also very patient with kids. Our daughter would crawl all over him and he’s not tried to swat her even once.”

If you have been following us for a while, you would understand that we absolutely do not endorse allowing ANY cat to be free-roaming. We always say that if a cat has a taste for the outdoors, we are supportive of cats being outside only if they are on a secure harness / leash, firmly attached to their observant and careful owner. 

When a cat is surrendered, we have to take everything the owner tells us with a grain of salt. This is exactly why we have so many cats in foster right now. We need time to get to know them. 

We were truly blessed when Simon and Jagg’s loving foster recently joined our team, and gave these two boys a chance to show us who they are and what type of family the would like. 

Here is what Simon & Jagg’s foster has to say about them. 

Their previous owner stated that if left indoors without access to outside they would become destructive. I have yet to see a destructive bone in their bodies. These two are the SWEETEST bonded pair I have ever witnessed. They have not been outside at my house, nor have they left the room they are currently in (Simon was treated for an upper respiratory infection and of course I didn’t want that to spread to my own cats). I’ve tried the last few days to introduce them to my other kitties to get some more information for potential adopters and I can say that they would do best as the only cats in the home. I have not dog-tested yet.

Jagg is a BIG BOY at about 14 lbs, he loves his butt scratches and will start drooling if you give them. He has a very welcoming personality and is always first to greet me when I open the door. He also loves to chase toys and sleep in his cat tower hammock.

Simon is a little apprehensive at first but will soon be giving head bumps and the best kitty kisses you’ll ever get. He has, in his short time with me, become my best friend. He LOVES catnip and scratching posts. Anything with catnip on it will win his heart. Simon is a tiny kitty, he’s about 8 and one-half pounds. He loves his brother fiercely. 

These boys deserve all of the love and attention you can give. They LOVE my small children (2- and 3-years-old). These two would do great in a home with children of any age. 

They are fed high-quality wet cat food and will sometimes munch on kibble but prefer the good stuff instead. 

Both boys have perfect litter box skills! They are neutered and up-to-date on their vaccinations.
