My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Scottsdale, AZ

Sebastian is a GORGEOUS six-year-old purebred Bengal cat from an award-winning TICA breeder located on the East Coast. He has DRAMATIC rosettes and the most eye-popping glitter.

When his family moved to Arizona six months ago, they moved into a home with other cats present. Although Sebastian hadn’t been around cats before, this family was very experienced with cat introductions and they were sure in due time, they would eventually be successful.

Sadly, they were not.

Due to the living situation, they have had to make the agonizing decision to place him in a loving forever home that is “cat-free.”

Sebastian’s family fell in love at first sight with him. He has never met a stranger. He is one of the most loving, entertaining Bengals we have ever brought into our program.

Sebastian’s family will do EVERYTHING to ensure this guy finds the perfect match.

Here’s what you should know about Sebastian:

LOVES both men and women
LOVES to be held (Seriously!!!)
LOVES to run on his cat wheel
Eats only Raw food **NO EXCEPTIONS**
Not treat-motivated. NO DRY FOOD.
Would do well in home that has prior Bengal experience
May do well with a LARGE cat-friendly dog
WILL NOT do well with a cat or any small creatures in the home
Has not been around children. For this reason, no children under the age of 14.

Sebastian absolutely loves to be with people - at all times. He is not overly demanding or overly vocal. If his humans are busy, he will happily jump on his cat wheel or entertain himself with every toy that he comes across. Or take a nap.

Sebastian has several nicknames - “Bug” and “Goober” being a few. He loves his 8’ tall cat tree and all the various perches and toys that he has been showered with. He’s a really happy guy.

Sebastian is NOT destructive. He is obsessed with one drawer in the office that has nothing in it. We’re not sure why. He enjoys opening only that one drawer - does not disturb anything else.

This boy has PURRFECT litter box skills!

Sebastian is happy sleeping in a warm sunny window, or in your lap while you chill and Netflix. He is prone to separation anxiety, so if you work from home and your travel is limited, he would be a great match for you.

Sebastian is an ATHLETE. He is used to living in a large home where he can race around and get in his laps. For this reason he would not be suitable for apartment-living.

This boy loves his “Purrfect Go Fur It” teaser toy, electronic puzzle box, standard puzzle box, and will play fetch with wine corks!

Sebastian has the funniest habit - when he eats, he licks the bowl completely clean. No dishwasher needed (just kidding but it is funny).

Another funny habit - as soon as he is done eating, he will take a 20 min bath until he is soaking wet.

Speaking of water - this boy LOVES water. He has two water fountains but one of his favorite things is to make his humans turn on the bathroom water faucet - water “on demand.”

Honestly we could go on and on. This guy is remarkable on every level.

Sebastian is neutered, FeLV / FIV negative, vaccinated, microchipped, and has been extensively genetically tested. Sebastian is a strong and healthy boy.

Due to his Raw diet, he will need a home that can afford the expense (he loves Darwins Chicken and Vital Essentials Rabbit).

More about this rescue

Our Mission at Bengal Rescue is to rescue Bengal cats and other hybrid cats. Hybrid cats also include Savannah cats, Toyger cats, and Chausie cats.

We are members of a very large community of Bengal Cat enthusiasts. This includes other Rescue Organizations, Adopters, Fosters, Behavioral Experts, Medical Experts, and yes – even Breeders.

It’s also a goal of Bengal Rescue to build a large social media presence so that we can find cats in need, and find them wonderful forever homes. This is how we find cats in need of rescue and identify potential adopters. It is also a great way for us to educate Bengal cat owners about their behavioral and medical challenges. You can follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

With the support of these individuals, we have developed a nationwide foster network. We work with individuals who rescue, transport, foster, and care for these cats who are in a transitionary state. At times, we help current Bengal owners place their cats in new homes. In other cases, we rescue cats from Shelters and place them into Foster care while we search for their forever home. It takes so many resources and individuals to saves the lives of these cats. We couldn’t do this without each individual’s participation and support.

We ensure that all of the cats in our program are seen by a Veterinarian and receive Medical assessment and treatment. In the case of Owner Surrender we ask the Owner to cover veterinary expenses before taking him / her into our program. When we rescue cats from Shelters, we ensure that the cat receives whatever care is deemed necessary by the Veterinarian.

In the end, we are as firmly dedicated to the cats in our program, as we are to our very own feline family members.
