The Three Mus"cat"eers!
A Bonded Treo of Bengals
Hi, We are the Three Mus"cat"eers, Snowy River, Talon, and Betty Davis Eyes.

I’m Snowy and I'm the leader of the group. I’m a seven year old seal lynxpoint male neutered Bengal. I was initially placed as a 50th anniversary present for my breeder’s mother. My new adopted mom had serious health problems so I had to be declawed. I used to help her solve crossword puzzles for hours and soothe her when she was in pain. Mom died six years ago and I’ve lived with my breeder and her huge group of cats until recently, when I transferred to Leopard Print.

During those years with my breeder, I bonded with another seven year old brown spotted male Bengal named Talon. Talon had lived all his life with our breeder. On our way up to Northern California we met and fell in love with Betty.

Betty is a five year old female spayed brown spotted Bengal. She was scarred out of her wits, the poor thing, so Talon and I put ourselves on either side of her in order to protect her when we arrived at our new home.

Our new foster dad was happy to place the three of us in a room together. Once we tested out healthy, dad let us out into the rest of the house to play with the other cats. Talon and I tolerate the other cats, but Betty cries for us to return to our bedroom. Dad always puts us together at night. We’d like to be placed together in a forever home. Talon and I like attention, but it will take another month or so for Betty to come around.

Please adopt us! We’ll make a great family together!

Kajal and Teonna: the Dynamic Duo!
Need to be Rehomed Together
Hi, we’re the “Dynamic Duo”. I’m Kajal, an 11 year old brown spotted male neutered Bengal, and to my right is my partner, Teonna. She's a 7 year old brown spotted spayed female Bengal.

We are a little shy at first but we love people (especially people that play with us) and we love to play with toys, but most of all we love each other. We would like to be placed together. We are in good health and we have many years left to love a person or a family that adopts us. Can we be a part of your family?

Please adopt us! We’ll make a great family together!

Beautiful Mumbai
Seven Year Old Neutered Boy
Hi, I’m Mumbai! Why I ended up at the shelter is a mystery to me. I hated the shelter with all its smells and noise; I didn’t fit in there.

When I arrived at Leopard Print, I had a horrible upper respiratory tract infection that wasn't getting better. The shelter had given up hope! But my new foster dad gave me premium food and suplements known to help the immune system fight off disease. Then he put me in a quiet, temperature controlled, stress-free place where I could convalese. It took three weeks but I finally got better!

Now I get to play with six other resident cats, some of which are permanent, and some are fosters. I’m looking for a forever home where I can live by myself or maybe with one other friendly cat. I’m very friendly with people and I get along okay with other cats so give me a try. You’ll glad that you did!

Lynyrd & Skynyrd
A Bonded Pair of Boys
Lynyrd & Skynyrd, 6 year old brothers, are bonded to each other and can never be separated. They came into rescue along with David, an 11 year old female Bengal. Due to illness, their mom was forced to surrender them into rescue.

Lynyrd & Skynyrd's mom has this to say about them: Lynyrd (Lenny)He talks a lot, needs a lot of love. Loves his "Beanie baby toy" and likes to put it in his food dish. Prefers dry food to wet, but will eat wet food sometimes. He is a big baby and sometimes is afraid of Skynyrd . Drinks a lot of water and really prefers it from the faucet. I leave a bowl of dry food out for him all day and he eats when he wants. Likes to sleep on top of me, and very often sleeps on his back with his head tucked under my chin. Runs to the door when I come home, is a big baby. Likes to run to his kennel for saftety when he gets scared, so I leave it open for him. Climbs in my lap anytime I got to the bathroom, stays inside only, loves to be held tight and snuggled close, licks plastic (do not leave plastic bags out), fetches and loves crumpled paper.

Skynyrd (Skin or Skinny) He has a very expressive, almost sad meow. He needs a lot of love, loves his stick string toy. Throws up whenever he eats dry food, so stay away from it most of the time, prefers wet food but very picky on the flavors! He likes to sleep on his back pulled up close to my body. Is very dainty, runs the roost, likes to climb in the shower, fetches, loves sitting in the window and greets me at the door.

David
A Sweet Bengal Girl with a Boy's Name
David was surrendered with Lynyrd & Skynyrd and is almost 11 years old. Like Lynyrd & Skynyrd, she is perfectly behaved.

David's mom has this to say about her: David is the sweetest, loving little girl (named by the former mom’s son). She is almost 11 years old. She has never liked to be picked up, but will gladly climb in your lap. She loves to be told "Good girl David" She is an eater! Always the first one at the bowl! She loves Lynyrd but Skynyrd annoys her. She is sweet as sugar but will hiss at the boys when they bother her, then she would run to me for a hug. She's a sweetheart!

Ringer
2-3 Year Old Spotted Boy
Ringer is currently with a foster mom who's specialty is socializing cats. Ringer is doing wonderful and is ready for a new, loving home. He needs to be rehomed with someone who is willing to spend the time helping him feel safe. I don't have an up to date picture of him to post, but his coat looks great and he doesn't look frightened anymore.

His foster mom has this to say: He is still and probably always will be a timid cat who does not like to be held. He is now coming out and spending time in the open when I or my son are around. Whoever adopts him should have a really friendly cat for him to bond with, though he will also be fine as an only cat.

Jenga, Sweet and Loving
Jenga is an 8 year old spayed girl who gets along with other cats and loves people. She was originally surrendered to us because one of the people she lived with doesn't like cats. She is a perfectly mannered young lady who loves to play.

I'll let Jenga's foster mom tell you more about her personality: Jenga is a perfectly serene cat. She is as soft as flour. She gets along well with my other 4 cats. She prefers to bond with one person; a woman/girl. She has chosen me in my home as she sleeps in my bedroom. She loves to play and has a routine she enjoys; each morning & evening for about 30 minutes she really wants to run & play 'chase' with me. She is the queen of the fabric ribbon stick and adores catnip! She has been used to only bonding with women but I think the right cat loving guy could turn her head!

If you are interested in Jenga, please contact Marilyn by e-mail: marilynk1@sbcglobal.net
