About Z

Z (also known as Zee Zee) is a brown rosetted male Bengal in need of an exceptional home. The current owners are going through some major life changes now, which is why they are proactively trying to find the best possible forever home for him. Z was found as a stray, four years ago. The family who currently has him, initially began feeding him - but once the cold winter weather hit - they knew he needed safety, so they brought him in. They brought him to their Veterinarian to scan him for a microchip and did successfully find his owner. The owner told this family his age (he is 12 years old now - mind you - Bengals can live to be 20!). They also said that they didn't want Z back (he wasn't getting along with the other pets in the home), and that the 'finders' were welcome to keep him. Z's current family has provided Z with EXCELLENT care and medical oversight. He has been extensively tested and we have many records to share. This boy is very very healthy however he is FIV+ (more on this later). Z is a loving cat, likes gentle pets especially on the head, loves his belly rubbed when rolling over and sleeping under blankets. He can occasionally become a little over-stimulated and bite playfully. He loves chicken, treats, loves playing with string as it wiggles like a snake, and cardboard boxes are his favorite toy to play with. He enjoys catnip mice toys. He is expressive and tries to communicate with you often loudly. �%A0 Z, like most Bengals, does not like being picked up and held for exceptionally long. Z has his challenges. His front paws are declawed (he was that way when found). He is also FIV positive so will need to be an only cat. FIV cats can live long, healthy lives, there is no reason that they cannot be a part of someone's family. You can learn more about FIV in this article: https://www.humanesociety.org/news/fiv-positive-cats Z has been an indoor/outdoor cat, so initially it could take some time to get him used to being indoor-only. He does not have a good relationship with other pets so he would be best as the only pet in the home. �%A0 We would love to find Z a quiet stress-free home where he can live the rest of his life in peace and safely. A home with a Catio would be great for Z. He is up to date on his shots (he went to the vet in October 2023). He is microchipped and neutered.
