**We request that cats offered for re-homing are NOT offered for free**
This is to deter dog baiters who are known to scour the internet for free pets.

ALASKA
Alaska is a very sweet natured 13 year old Sepia Snow Spotted Bengal who has spent most of his life being a house cat with his brother. Sadly his brother now has cancer and has begun chemotherapy. As the brothers groom each other and share most things we have unfortunately had to separate them for Alaska’s safety, due to the toxic nature of his brothers chemo.
As a result I have to keep Kimba inside and Alaska outside, which is incredibly distressing for Alaska and upsetting to watch.
Alaska is a typical Bengal and can be very vocal, having a wide range of vocabulary to tell you that he wants something.
Being a house cat for most of his life he has little road sense, however, after we moved to a new house in a cul- de-sac we have let him venture out and he had enjoyed jumping fences and exploring outside but he doesn’t go far and will come when called.
He’s a very intelligent cat, who will mimic the pitch and tone of your voice. He will also ‘high five’ your hand if you ask him.
He would suit an experienced bengal cat owner who understands the bengal temperament. As he has never been on his own he would suit someone who can give him the attention he crave sand in a pet free household, as he doesn’t get along with any other cats, except his brother. If he is to go outside it would need to be in a quiet road location.
He is neutered, chipped and vaccinated. I have his pedigree certificate. He rarely goes the vet, the last time being for teeth removal and a jippy tummy. He is happy to go to the toilet outside or in a litter tray. He can use a cat flap
He’s a very athletic fit robust cat and responds well to play, affection and if brushed he will be your best friend forever.
I have no interest in charging a rehoming fee, but to ensure he goes to the right people and deter those that aren’t, I request a fee of £100, which I will donate to an animal charity.
I am happy to travel the length and breadth of the country to deliver him to the right people.

MAGIC
In need of a home is Magic. He is 7, a brown spotted Bengal, has papers, microchipped and is neutered. Also flead, wormed and up to date with vaccinations. We took him on 3 months ago, but unfortunately he and my other cat have become firm enemies. He is larger than average and strong and has made it his mission to corner her at every opportunity. I do not need advice as I have tried everything.
He was originally rehomed because he was harassing the neighbours, but so far he hasnt been visiting mine, much to thier disappointment. Breeder and previous owner are aware of rehoming.
He currently has free access to the outside during the day, but kept in at night . I was told he was a hunter, but have yet to be presented with any 'gifts' (although that may just be he's eating them, or that i've put a bell on his collar to warn them). He is not a cuddle cat and is not keen on being picked up, however allows me to clip his claws and pet him, he will sit on the sofa and sleep on the bed next to me, and takes treats by hand standing on my lap, so may be more relaxed once hes on his own. very loud trilling meow, but a very quiet purr, he will have long conversations with you. He loves to headbut things and being scratched like a puppy. He eats any kind of food without issue, biscuits and wet food. as well any any scraps he can pilfer, also cleans any dishes left in the sink, I believe he has a cast iron stomach, (be warned he is also a toilet drinker)! he uses a litter tray and is fine with normal litter as well as crystals, he also uses outside. He has a harness and is also happy to walk on a lead, but i dont think he would be happy as an indoor only cat. when he is in he is often near me, and likes to sleep on discared jumpers and coats, or in the laundry basket. He is easy to identify due to his tatty ear.
He is fine with children, but does not seek them out to play. he does not sratch of bite when fussed, and although he will eat anything, does not seem to snatch food from the kids. I have not seen him with dogs so cannot comment on that. He does not like toys with sticks, like the cat fishing rods, but loves his catnip mice and scratching post. he does have a go at the sofa corner but stops when told. and does not destroy carpets. he also does not spray in the house.
He is able to open lever handle doors by himself, and due to his size and weight can be a little clumsy. he will come with his litter box and harness. Being a bengal he is generally not an allergy issue but does cause a slight reaction in very allergic people, so meeting him is essential. £100 rehoming fee.

*BENGAL FOUND*
A brown spotted male Bengal appears to be lost/straying in the Donnington Bridge/Meadow Lane/Iffley area of Oxford. As he’s very nervous we’re not certain yet whether he is entire or neutered. At the moment there is no secure rescue pen where he can be lodged if he is caught, so we are just feeding him and looking out for him. If anyone knows who he might belong to, or if anyone could offer a rescue house with run to bring him into:

*PLEASE NOTE, THIS POST IS REGULARLY UPDATED*
These Bengals are currently at The Hertfordshire branch of The National Animal Welfare Trust.
Please click on the links for more details.
We give our cats around 2 weeks to settle into cattery life before putting them up for homing as this gives them a chance to get to know the staff and the routine. It also allows us to get to know the cat to help find them the right home. All of them have come from an ex breeding background and have never been outside so we are looking to home them to quiet areas as they have all shown an interest in going outside so would want them to have that option.
Jet and Storm both 7 years old.
Jet is an independent girl and Storm is quite a cuddly boy.

Flo and Peach – both female
Flo is 6 and Peach is 7. They can be shy with new people but with time they have started to come out of their shells.
They are really sweet girls.

Moana – 5 year old female.
She is a very chatty, loves to be in middle of everything.

Razz. He is a 10 year old neutered male but is still very lively.
Although he has lived with other cats he was fighting with them so does need to be the only pet in the home but can live with children 8 and over.

Diva is 5 year old neutered female.
Like her name she is quiet a Diva and is not keen on sharing her space with other animals. She is very sweet with people but not keen on being picked up and we have said children 10 and over for her.

LULU
Looking for a loving, forever home for Lulu our 4 year old neutered, female Bengal. She is fully vaccinated (until March 2019) and microchipped. She comes also with a full pedigree family tree.
Lulu needs a home where she is the only cat in the household and that does not have any small children. We are the 4th home she has lived in and she needs to go to somebody who is an experienced Bengal owner who fully understands the breed and can give her the time and attention she needs as her unsettled life up until now has undoubtedly affected her and this is certainly shown in her behaviour at times.
I got her from a home where she could not get on with the owners Maine Coon and he was told by a vet that her personality was such that he strongly recommended that she be the only cat in the household as she has psychological problems being around other cats leading to her becoming depressed if she is not the only feline in the house. I do not know how she relates to dogs.
She has quite an outgoing personality and is very vocal. She likes to go out but prefers a door to be open so she can get back in again if she needs to.
My reason for rehoming her is that despite owning cats for over 50 years, I never knew how demanding Bengals are and she needs somebody who knows and understands the breed fully who can help her settle and overcome her behavioural problems. She is undoubtedly unhappy living with us despite my wife and I really trying to integrate her into our house with much love and attention but she has started biting us recently, something she did to our 2 year old granddaughter that has made the little girl (who absolutely loved her) now frightened of her and for that reason, we feel it best for all that Lulu now go to a new home, as I say with an owner who she will hopefully be happier living with.
There is a £150 homing fee which will be donated to a cat charity thereafter.
She is a beautiful cat and in the correct home and with the right owner, I have no doubt she will thrive. Her next move must be right however.
We are located in Canvey Island, Essex
If you feel you are the person who can help her and are prepared to “go the hard yards” with her, please contact me on 07743 366198.

MAX & MONROE
Max & Monroe, 1 Male, 1 Female, brown spotted Bengals, born 14.02.14. Both neutered, microchipped and up to date with their vaccinations and healthcare.
Completely indoor cats, from a very loving home, totally house trained, always use a litter tray, no indoor accidents.
Love to be around people, love being petted, brushed and stroked, even though they are adults, they are still playful. Never been around other animals, and have never been separated, so need to be rehomed as a pair, to, preferably, a pet free home.
Have deliberated over the need to rehome, for a long while, but continued illness in the home has pushed us to have to make this decision. They are my Daughters pets, & she has cared for them, since they were 9 weeks old- so is pretty devastated at the choice we have had to come to.
I am looking for a £200 re-homing fee (£100 per cat) & only want contact from serious interested parties.
Previous Bengal owners would be preferable.
Location: Buckinghamshire area.
Contact Laura, lchines07@gmail.com or 07445689017, for any further information or questions.

POPPY
We are looking for a forever home our 11 year old Bengal cat.
Poppy is a Neutered, microchipped female Bengal who loves to explore outside.
All original pedigree paperwork held.
Poppy is very vocal and loves to talk, particularly to birds and animals seen through the windows where she chirps and squawks! Poppy is a social cat who loves being stroked and to be around people for company, although she is not a lap cat and doesn’t particularly like being picked up. She loves to sit up high on her scratch post and watch to the world go by!
Poppy gets on well with our other cat; who is a house cat so could go to a home with another cat but Poppy would have to be the dominant animal.
Poppy has never been around dogs so would prefer no dogs but is fantastic with our toddler and is fine with children/babies.
Poppy has previously been vaccinated but these have now run out.
She is currently insured with Petplan on their lifetime cover policy.
Poppy does use a litter tray as well as outside for toilet.
Reason for re-home is that we are soon to be moving from our quiet cul-de-sac to a busy A-road with a 50mph limit. As Poppy likes to explore outside I have real concern’s that she will wander onto the road and be injured or killed. Keeping her as a house cat (which our other cat is) is not an option!
It is a very reluctant decision but one I feel necessary given the location of our new house.
We are asking for a £50 re-homing fee to ensure she goes to a genuine and loving, forever home.
We are situated in Farnborough, Hampshire.
To discuss or ask any questions please call Claire on 07793 208271 or email c.sambourne@live.co.uk
