Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Every rescue is a story. This is part of the fascination of being in the rescue world. This young Bengal girl's story is a fairly unhappy story. Her breeder was trying for a different coat pattern and didn't like her look. Her unusual, dramatic dark coat pattern is call "Sheeted Marble". The breeder neglected her. He sold her at five months to a loving but inexperienced family who really didn't know how to be with her. The wife especially loved her. They got her spayed and she had free run in their home and was comfortable with the couple but she was wary of most people.
Then a teenage child - from a previous divorce ? - came to live with them. She was highly allergic to Katrina.What to do? Long story short Katrina spent five months locked in a guest bathroom. The window was frosted. There was very little to do, very little company, very little room. Her mom tried to find a home for her.
Someone recommended me to her. I was interested in Katrina but I was concerned about her temperament. I went with two kitty lovers to meet her.
My friend sat in the cramped space on the floor and reached into her cubby and petted her head, her neck and even her paws! "She is not aggressive at all" she said. "This kitty is just scared." We took her into foster with us and home we went.
We have had her now two and a half months. She came in depressed and remote. Very still. We gave her a room connected to a private catio. She didn't go out. So we waited. She ate and used her box. We know how resilient cats are. They recover from worse situations than Katrina had been in. (Though five months of isolation is a very long time for a young active girl.) Fairly soon she began to relate to us and started enjoying her life as a cat.
And what a pleasure it was for us to watch her respond to attention and start showing her wonderful Bengal curiosity, playfulness and agility
The photo's show how expressive her face is -sometimes interested, other times sad, or appealing, or confident and strong, or happy blissed out with a scritch under her chin. Her intelligence shows on her face. Katrina is a great cat. She is affectionate with people who she knows. She is shy with others.
Katrina will blossom even more in her new home as she bonds with her own humans. Her family needs to be loving and patient with her. She will give you her whole heart and be forever grateful for the love you give her. She knows what loneliness is like. A wonderful new life is ahead for her.
Katrina is spayed, vaccinated, FELV tested, dewormed, microchipped, eats wet and dry food, and is litterbox perfect.
She is fostered by Harriet in Santa Cruz.
Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue is dedicated to matching exceptional cats with qualified adopters who will cherish their pet and create an ideal forever home.
If you believe you are the perfect adopter for Katrina please tell us why in the comments section of our Adoption Application, and contact Harriet at harrietluvskitties@yahoo.com If you are unable to reach Harriet please email us at info@purebredsplus.org.
NOTE: We prefer families with children bring them to the adoption appointment. Why? This allows interaction between the children and the cat. This helps ensure they will be a good fit for each other. A mismatch between a child and a cat is not in anyone's best interests!

Additional adoption info
READY TO ADOPT?
The first step in the adoption process for your new kitty is to submit an adoption application. The second step is to contact the foster home listed on the specific cat(s) or kittens you are interested in to find out more. Are you adopting a kitten? Kittens do best when they have a friend or two to grow up with! Kittens who grow up with another feline friend tend to be well-behaved, well-adjusted, and overall happier. Purebred Plus Cat Rescue kittens are typically adopted as pairs or as a single kitten to homes with an appropriate feline playmate. If you prefer only one kitten, we strongly encourage you to consider one of our wonderful older kittens or young adult cats that are available!
