Update on Serafina! ( Animal Care & Control San Francisco)

Serafina is the most injured Bengal we’ve ever received in our program. She is suffering from a fractured pelvis and broken femur, and other consequent injuries that will require costly orthopedic procedures and lifelong care.

Rest assured - Serafina is a FIGHTER. She is getting all the love in the world from her incredibly skilled Foster family.

She is currently receiving fluids and meds to keep her comfortable, while we wait for her Veterinary appointment on Monday (that’s the soonest we can get her seen).

Serafina has been an outstanding patient! She is SWEET and is so grateful for the love and care that she is receiving. We’ll be sure to get you an update once we have her formal treatment plan in place.

Thank you everyone for your support!

Freedom Ride - San Francisco CA.

After days of following this heartbreaking case - we watched rescue after rescue pledge to help but ultimately weren’t able to. Today, Bengal Rescue stepped in to help.

This beautiful girl was likely hit by a car and is suffering from a fractured pelvis and broken femur and other consequent injuries that will require costly orthopedic procedures and lifelong care.

This morning, Bengal Rescue received legal transfer of her from San Francisco Animal Care and Control and she’s on her way to lifesaving care now.

Our team has collectively named her "Serafina."

The name Seraphina is of Hebrew origin, meaning "fiery," "burning ones," or "ardent". It is derived from the seraphim, the highest-ranking, six-winged angels in Abrahamic religions who guard the throne of God. We think this suits her, beautifully.

Please donate to help us give Serafina the comfortable and happy future she deserves.

We can't blame you for staring!

This is Xena (Savannah cat) in UT. She's not ready to be adopted yet - but she will be! (Only when she tells us she's ready.)

We don't mean to taunt you - but sometimes we have to.

IF you're wanting to adopt a cat from us and haven't already filled out an application - it's likely you'll never get a cat from our program - that's how long our wait list is.

This is not because we don't want to match you - it's because everyone before you has already followed our process - we've interviewed them and they are already waiting.

Thank you to everyone who has applied and followed our process. We will let you know when YOUR cat has arrived.

For those who click on our profiles and say "I want" - but never click the link that is in EVERY profile for the application... well we just don't have time to coax you to read the listing again, help you find the "thingy" with the underline / hotlink and show you how to touch it and apply...

We're busy.

To our people who actually want a cat are able to find the link! Yay - those people are part of our family now.

Current roster is:

Tai Lung (Kung Fu Panda!) - Oakland, CA

Wait - no one is applying for Leo the SNUGGLE MONSTER in Salt Lake City, UT? That can't be right!

Meet Leo, a gorgeous 4-year-old Bengal who landed in the Davis County shelter early this May (came in as a stray).

-Hasn’t been around children.
-Hasn’t been around dogs.
-MAY do well with a feline-friendly cat, given his disposition

Leo went to a fantastic foster home that had no other pets - it was just a friendly couple who had nothing but time to give him.

It took Leo literally NO time to decompress. Soon they discovered that this boy is an absolute UNICORN!

His foster family wants you to know:

Leo LOVES cuddling above all else. He’s happiest when he’s making biscuits in your lap, curled up in a blanket, or getting lots and lots and lots of pets. His favorite treat is the squeezable salmon puree as a treat to end the night. He loves to “hunt” and chase the little mouse at the end of the cat wand, he’s very agile and will leap, run, jump, and tackle the toy — anything to catch his “prey”.

But seriously - he’s a world-class snuggler. He wants to lay on your lap, your laptop, your feet, your chest, your face, anywhere that’s close to you is his favorite place to be.

He is active but certainly not reckless! He’s happy to hop on the counter, cat tree or hide under the bed when people he doesn’t know come to visit. Despite this, once he has a few minutes to acclimate, he’s happy to come on out and see who the “new people” are.

Otherwise he’s super comfortable lounging on the couch or hanging out in a window sill watching the world go by, when his humans are busy.

He’s actually quite “chill” for a Bengal his age. He does like to play a few times a day but he really does enjoy couch-surfing and watching sitcoms with his people.

If you’re looking for a quiet cat, Leo’s not the one for you. He’s very chatty first thing in the morning when he’s ready for breakfast and also when he wants to play. He will do the classic bengal yell when he’s most desperate for food or attention, will meow persistently when he’s happy rubbing around your ankles, and squeak out the tiniest/sweetest mews when he’s cozying up.

Caution: Leo often seems hopeful for an opportunity to scoot out the door. We don’t have a lot of background on him so we don’t know if his prior owners let him have access to the outside. When we got him he showed few signs of outdoor “wear and tear” - his coat was healthy. So it’s hard to say. His fosters tried a harness on him to see if maybe that was familiar to him? No, apparently not - he didn’t like it. That’s not to say an owner in the future might not be able to train him slowly to acclimate to a harness - but for now, we’ll not push the issue.

Leo eats Tiki Cat After Dark wet food, and loves freeze-dried minnows and salmon treats. He’s not a fan of kibble (which is a good thing). Guilty of trying to steal human-food, especially skilled at removing bread from bread bags (you’ve been warned!). He is a huge fan of the water fountain in the home.

Leo has PERFECT litter box habits and is very happy with OkoCat litter. He uses several clean, open litter boxes in his home.

As for other pets - we do think he could warm up to another cat who is friendly / not too pushy.

Amazingly enough - he is used to a *normal* routine at home. He doesn’t demand breakfast before 8. He allows his people to get work done during the day with minimal interruptions. He’s accustomed to a regular dinner hour and the evening wind down / play before bed. Overall he’s an easy guy!

Leo is neutered, FeLV / FIV negative, vaccinated, microchipped and very very healthy.

If you would like to adopt Leo, please fill out our application. https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRUT/Cat

Followers! We have fantastic news!

River’s healing process is going so well. Today he went to the Vet for a recheck and we were so happy that they were comfortable removing his drain tubes. They were so cumbersome - and River was not thrilled to be hosting these tubes like a backpack!

His forever family is truly over the moon that he is progressing exactly as his Surgical team had hoped.

We truly want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity in donating to River’s complex and expensive care.

We still have the goal to raise the final amount which is $5,173.37

If you have it in your heart to help us help more bengals in need, we hope you’ll donate whatever you can.

Thank you everyone for your well wishes for River and the entire Bengal Rescue Team!

River’s out of surgery and on the road to recovery!

Today was a LOT. River’s surgeon told us that they wouldn’t be comfortable proceeding with his surgery until their Cardiologist did an Echocardiogram (quote was $700.00). Their concern is that he could receive too much fluid during the procedure and suffer from cardiac arrest.

We agreed to do so. Following the Echo, his surgeon called to say that they found he had an enlarged septum - which they believed were the hallmarks of early Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). They stated that he had asymmetric left and right ventricles but they believed it was mild enough that he could undergo today’s complex surgery.

River’s surgery began around 1:20 pm Mountain Time and we received an update from his surgeon today at 5pm MT. We learned that he did VERY VERY well in surgery - no cardiac events - no respiratory issues.

We learned that his right wound was closed up neatly with a drain tube installed, and that his left wounds were a bit trickier (we expected that). The erosion of his skin was so extensive that we did expect that he’d be missing some key margins that he needs to heal. The surgeon told us that she is confident that the healing will begin and there is enough overlap to get it all started.

River’s medical team is confident that he will have plenty of fluidity around his neck and legs when it comes to movement. For safety, he will be kept overnight in the ICU to carefully monitor his breathing to ensure that he gets through the night safely and can go home in the AM.

We want to thank everyone who has donated so far.

As of today we’ve paid $7,560.37 for his lifesaving care and raised $2,287.00, leaving us $5,273.37 short.

Thank you everyone for keeping River in your thoughts and prayers.

Please donate whatever you can! We would truly appreciate it!

The SNUGGLE MONSTER has ARRIVED!

📍 Salt Lake City, UT

-Hasn't been around children
-Hasn't been around dogs
-MAY do well with a feline-friendly cat

Meet Leo, a stunning 4-year-old Bengal who arrived at the Davis County shelter as a stray earlier this May.

Leo was placed in a wonderful foster home where he had the luxury of being the only pet. It took him virtually no time to settle in, and his foster family quickly discovered that this boy is an absolute UNICORN.

Leo's favorite thing in the world? Cuddling.
He loves making biscuits in your lap, curling up under blankets, soaking up endless pets, and ending his day with a squeezable salmon treat. He also enjoys chasing wand toys, leaping after his "prey," and showing off his athletic side.
But make no mistake—Leo is a world-class snuggler. He wants to be wherever you are: your lap, your feet, your chest, your laptop... if it's close to you, it's his favorite place.

For a Bengal his age, Leo is surprisingly chill. He enjoys daily play sessions, but he's equally happy lounging on the couch, watching the world from a window, or binge-watching sitcoms with his people.

He's also quite the conversationalist. Expect cheerful morning announcements when breakfast is due, classic Bengal yells when he wants attention, and the sweetest little squeaks when he's feeling cozy.

Leo appears curious about the outdoors, so extra care should be taken around doors. He wasn't a fan of harness training, though a patient adopter may have success in the future.

He's a fan of Tiki Cat After Dark, freeze-dried minnows and salmon treats, water fountains, and occasionally attempting to steal human food—especially bread. Consider yourself warned.

Leo has perfect litter box habits, is accustomed to a normal household routine, and allows his people to work during the day with minimal interruptions.
Overall, he's an easy, affectionate, healthy guy looking for a family to call his own.

Leo is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, FeLV/FIV negative, and very, very healthy.

River’s surgery is tomorrow - and another $3,600.00 will be due at drop-off.

FINALLY - River will receive his complex / lifesaving skin graph surgery to remove his infected skin and bind his healthy skin to the open wounds - which will encourage the regrowth of healthy cells.

Thank you to EVERYONE who has donated so far - we’re grateful beyond words.

So far we’ve spent $3,260.37

Tomorrow’s required deposit is $3,600.00 (estimate is $3,624.00 - $4,120.00).

In all we’ll reach $6,884.37 in expenses - by tomorrow. We’ve raised $2,012.00 so far.

Please, if you can send your well wishes to River, and any funds to help - we’d be grateful beyond words.

You can donate at www.bengalrescue.org/donate

We’ll update everyone once he’s out of surgery and recovering at his amazing, and loving foster home.

River has MRSA and he’s headed to the OR! We need your help!

Tomorrow we have to make a $3,600.00 deposit for his surgery. The estimate is $3,624.00 - $4,120.00

For the last three months, River’s been fighting for his life. After finally getting him to a specialist, he received a biopsy to look for the cause of his wounds not healing - and it’s MRSA.

MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) in cats is a resilient bacterial infection that resists many standard antibiotics. This is why he couldn’t heal. He’s now on the correct antibiotics but he won’t heal completely without a combination of drug therapy and surgical intervention.

Due to the severity of his infection, he requires skin graph surgery to remove his infected skin and bind his healthy skin to the open wounds - which will encourage the regrowth of healthy cells.

Despite all the misery, River remains in good spirits. Gabapentin is helping him rest while he gains the energy for tomorrow’s significant surgical event.

We would be deeply grateful for your help. Donations have been at a trickle this year, and we urgently need to raise funds to cover River’s surgery while continuing to care for our other cats with medical needs.

Current River Expenses: $3,004.29

Total Expenses After Tomorrow: $6,628.29 - $7,124.29

Please consider a direct donation (no platform fee so we receive your entire donation) https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/river-has-mrsa-and-is-in-the-hospital

Every dollar not only brings River closer to the healthy life he deserves - it also ensures that Bengal Rescue is still here for the next terrible situation where we’re needed.
