Going to a foster home today

6 month old bengal/bengal mix needs a foster or foster with intent to adopt

“Minnow was brought to us last week after someone found her outside. They took her in and she was approachable, friendly and seems open to human contact. They kept her inside for 3 days, but they have another cat and the other cat wasn't happy.

Since we've had her she has been a mixture of sweet and reactive. She hates being in a cage and faces the back wall and screeches very loudly. She is handleable and allows pets, but reacts strongly to anything that involves medication.

We really think she is 6 months old and is just over 6 pounds. She has been spayed, felv/fiv tested and current in shots

Carl has a reprieve until June 15th by which time he has to have a place to go

Carl needs a home by Sat or he will be going to the shelter. Owner will help pay for food

Carl is a 15 year old Bengal. He is the most gentle cat I have ever experienced. He loves humans, men and women. He's never bit nor scratched. He is a ragdoll that can be carried easily and never fights nail clipping. He wants nothing more than a walk and a lap to nap on. He is leash walkable and benefits greatly from opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

Carl also bring some difficulties. His meow is louder than even an average Bengal. He will yeow at closed doors, even in the middle of the night. Carl generally does not get a long well with other cats. However, he does love dogs.

Carl has painful IBS. He will moan when passing gas and urinating. He is extremely picky about a clean litter box and will use the area nearby if he doesn't approve. I've had the best luck when I empty the bin twice a day. He has medicated food which does help.

Rose is looking for a home or foster

Located in Concord Township, OH

About Rose:
Rose is an energetic and talkative 7 year old female, who loves a snuggle on your lap after chasing around her bird or squirrel toy. She enjoys kicker toys and searching for kibbles in a rolled up tee shirt. She loves to nap in her hammock on her cat tree or in any sun patch she can find. Rose has been a dream to have in our home, and would do well in a home with quiet older children, or laid back additional pets (she came from a home with her litter-mate, dogs, and young children, but we believe part of her litter box aversion was due to the stress of a high activity household, since she has never once gone outside the litter box in the 9 months we've had her). She is doing well with an open top litter box, and is on a freeze-dried diet fed twice a day.

Hoping to find a wonderful forever home for this girl because she truly deserves the best.

Need another foster or home for her by June 21st - foster going on vacation

Kiki, 9 year old is looking for a home

Some facts about her, she’s very social and hates being alone. When she thinks she’s alone she goes looking for people.

Really loves wet food, especially sea food, doesn’t really like land proteins.

Doesn’t like catnip, at least she hasn’t reacted to any of the catnip I’ve offered.

Not very treat motivated. Likely due to the missing teeth and doesn’t like those liquid treats.

If she doesn’t like something she’ll growl and hiss but she won’t bite or swipe at anyone.

Very good litter box habits, never misses the box and doesn’t track litter much at all, so cleaning is easy. She’s not great at covering her waste though but that’s not really a problem.

Will play by herself without much issue, but prefers a human partner to throw toys around.

Very much a lap kitty and will seek you out and comfort you every time you sit down

Good with older children. Didn’t get along with the other cats in the previous home

Jules is looking for a home

Please read the entire post if interested

Jules is very happy, silly girl looking for a home that can maintain her dietary requirements and her medicine schedule to keep her skin condition managed.

Jules is about 5 years old and is very sweet and smart. She will bring you toys to play fetch with and enjoys doing dog puzzle feeders. She loves to snuggle under the blanket with you or just hang out on or near you. She will sneak up on you and hug your leg and talk to you. Her favorite toys are springs, balls, and her big fish, as well as the laser pointer.

She will do well with other cats - she does play hard and can be aggressive, so slow, proper introductions and supervision initially is a must. She would also be fine as an only cat as long as she has interactive toys and someone to play with her daily.

She is spayed, current on all vaccines, and FIV/FeLV negative. She has perfect litter box habits and, per her previous owner, she will sometimes use the toilet.

Jules has a heightened immune/allergic response to some proteins. Because of this her home will need to ensure she only has access to her food and not other pet or human food. She is food motivated and will eat most anything, and a lot of it, if given the chance.

She currently eats 3/4 of a cup of hydrolyzed protein dry food a day and a bit of limited ingredient wet duck food with her pill. She gets 1/2 of an allergy pill twice a day in a gelcap in wet food and liquid medicine twice a day on top of dry food without issue. Now that her food has been sorted out and her medicine routine is established, she is doing very well.

About her condition:

Jules has Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex (EGC). On Jules it presents itself first with eosinophilic granuloma and then eosinophilic plaque on her body/torso. It is well managed by diet and medication.

There are two parts to her condition. First patches of her skin will become very sensitive and tender. It will be obvious she is uncomfortable when you pet her. Then bumps will form that burst a few days later. She will overgroom those areas because they itch. After that plaques (large scabs) will form in the area, and then shrink and disappear and her fur will grow back. She does have several bald spots on her hips that may not grow back. Larger flares can be managed with liquid prednisolone every other day, however it does make her very hungry This is why she is a bit pudgy now.

Food: Her skin has reacted to chicken, turkey, and beef from various brands and ingredient lists, including limited ingredient diets. She is not currently reacting to Koha limited ingredient duck wet food. She prefers dry food and eats Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets HA Hydrolyzed Feline Formula Dry Cat Food.

Jules will come with her allergy pills, gelcaps, liquid medicine, prescription dry food, wet food, toys, and a copy of her medical records.

Jules is an absolutely darling cat that is ready for her forever home. She is the perfect mix of Bengal energy and intelligence plus a hefty side of snuggles and lovr If interested fill out an application at greatlakesbengalrescue.com

Joey is a fixed 3 year old bengal.
He is the sweetest boy, love to snuggle, play, use his exercise wheel, and pester his sister Margot. We currently have to keep him in a single room due to he not loving our small dog and his litter box issues {urination only}, which may be caused by his unhappiness at our home. We think ultimately would do better in a house where he can free roam- indoor home only! We are located in Cincinnati, OH.

He enjoys going outside on his harness, but is not an outdoor cat.

We want him happy

Enid, OK ( can possibly be brought to TN)

4 1/2 - 5 yr old bonded pair need a home together.

Misa is a sweet shy personality who just wants a warm lap to feel safe in. She's very silly and loves to greet you the minute you walk in the door. She loves warm window sills and special snacks.

Mooki is a talkative fellow. He lives for playing on the floor and goofing off with his toys on the stairs. He's a very happy boy that just enjoys being around people.

They are OK with 1-2 other laid back cats. They are afraid of large dogs - don’t know how they will do around small dogs. Have not been around children
Both are front paw declawed

Mooki is the boy. White color
Misa is the girl. Brown color

Maverick needs a home as the only cat. He had not been around dogs or children. Rescue who placed him with this family indicated he was an F2 but provided no paperwork. Will not ship or transport - must pick up. Owners request anyone interested to fill out an application at greatlakesbengalrescue.com

Maverick will be two in August. He is a sweet boy. Great demeanor. Gentle, kind and easy-going. Loves to be petted, cuddled, and even held. He gives kisses as well. Sits by and on his humans and will sleep in the bed with them. Maverick loves to play, especially with wand-toys. He is a powerful jumper too. He follows his humans around the house, always curious what will be next. He does not get along with other furbabies. Maverick’s ideal forever family will be one that makes time for him and lets him grow into an adult cat. A family that gives him the love and attention he deserves. One with no pets and a family that makes time for him as he is still a kitten and loves to play. He has perfect litter box habits. He gets a small amount of wet food in the morning with probiotics and dry food the remainder of the day. Updated on all vaccinations and perfect health per recent vet visit. He is also microchipped.

Needs a foster, foster with intent to adopt ot home by June 6th

Foster postponed their vacation until June 7 so Nugget needs a place to go hy June 6th - there will be no extensions

Nugget is looking for a home

Meet Nugget, the handsome Bengal boy with a heart of gold! 🐱💕 This 1-1.5 year old sweetheart is looking for a forever home where he can shine. Initially shy, Nugget warms up quickly, especially around food time. He loves to play and needs interactive play to stay happy and engaged. With positive reinforcement, he's learning new things every day! 🐾💪

Nugget does best with adults or older kids who can understand his playful nature. When overstimulated, he might nip or play-attack ankles (but he's working on redirecting that energy to toys!). Gentle and smart, Nugget is a quick learner. Not sure how he would do with dogs.

He has tested positive for FIV and can live with other cats as long as all are fixed and there is no deep bite blood drawing fighting.

If you're ready to give Nugget the attention and playtime he craves, he promises to bring joy and excitement into your life! 🐾❤️
