✨ Adoption Spotlight ✨
‼️ Experience with Bengals/large breed exotic cats or extensive work with cats REQUIRED. I will not be scheduling visits with anyone not meeting these requirements and going through extensive questioning from us, Jinx requires a very specific adopter, so please do NOT submit any requests or messages unless you meet this. Please read this in its entirety before applying‼️
🐱 Meet Jinx! A beautiful 5 year old Bengal looking for his new forever home, with another playful large cat! No dogs, or small children.
Jinx came to our rescue to prevent him from being euthanized due to “urinating outside the litter box and aggression”. He was scheduled for euthanasia and we were able to rescue him just in time! He has not had any urinary issues since arriving to rescue, but will require an XL box or tote since he’s a long big boy!
Jinx will require someone who has a lot of patience, time, and love for such a special breed! Once you’ve earned his trust and respect, he will shower you with love and affection! Jinx has shown his resilience and strength since arriving to his fosters. He especially loves his chin, neck and ear scratches and will seek you out to get all the loves! Jinx is very content being around his people, but is not a big warm lap kitty. He loves companionship and being near and around his people, but likes his affection on his terms and his way. Like many bengals, he also is not a fan of being picked up and held. His foster mama has gained his trust enough, to be able to pick him up safely when needed, but he prefers not to be.
It’s very important his adopters also learn to read his body language, and be okay with the ways he chooses to communicate. He is still learning appropriate ways to communicate his needs. He will sometimes nip or swat at times, so his adopted cannot be scared of that or fearful, as he picks up on that. Jinx will often times do a small nip to get your attention, such as for you to play with him when he’s playful. He also tends to “bear hug” his foster mamas legs when he wants her to stay by him or go play with him.
Jinx’s curious nature will surely charm you as he takes on the world with his kitten like wonder and loves to be apart of the household. He is a very social cat and enjoys being around people. A holiday party with lots of guests? No problem! Jinx would love to join in if given the chance!
Jinx will need a home that can keep his mind engaged and give him lots of enrichment. Bengals are naturally high energy, and thrives in a home with the proper enrichment. He is extremely smart and loves to learn new tricks; such as walking down the hall to jump into his kitty stroller to go outside. Jinx would probably be easy to leash/harness train! He also loves running on his high quality cat wheel!
Jinx just loves to play and have fun! Another playful large cat would be perfect for him. A cat that isn’t territorial or dominate, who has the same energy level as him. His favorite playmate currently is a 10 month old female Savannah foster sister.
Like most bengals, Jinx is very vocal- so be ready for endless discussion and conversations with him!
Jinx was diagnosed in our care with mild asthma, mild hip arthritis, and food allergies (chicken suspected). He is on Instinct Limited Rabbit food, and prednisone every 3 days transdermal (so no pills), which have been working great for him. He would benefit from this plan being continued, or followed up on with his newly established vet for any changes. Because of Jinx’s demeanor, he will likely always require a sedated vet exam, to keep everyone safe. This will be something the adopted will need to consider for added expenses for vet visits for him.
Overall, Jinx has made tremendous improvements since being with his foster family, and he is so ready to find the perfect new family to love him continuously and endlessly. Jinx bonds intensely with someone and will need to remain with that person once he trusts them and respects them. He is an amazing boy, looking for his second chance at forever. Are you experienced with Bengal and want to love this boy through it all? Come meet him! He is a very special boy waiting for his next chapter in life.
