Safety Harbor, FL Back-story: Freya, a (estimated) 5- to 6-year old, front-declawed, spayed female bengal, was found as a stray and taken to the Lee County Animal Shelter (Ft. Myers, FL). Here’s what we know about Freya from her Great Lakes Bengal Rescue foster family: Demeanor: Freya is a demure, good-natured, well-mannered lady. She is relatively docile and quiet as bengals go, crying only occasionally and at a low pitch. She is compliant when asked to get into a carrier, content when traveling in a car, and is easy to handle during vet visits. As her trust of and confidence in her fosters has grown, Freya has become more relaxed, confident, and inquisitive. She now seeks out her humans for play and petting, happy to be the center of their attention. Freya loves napping/sleeping beside her fosters (especially the “man of the house”). Her favorite pastime is sunbathing by a window. Her favorite toy is catnip-filled mice that squeak. Health Status/Behavior: Freya is current on well check and vaccines; FeLV/FIV negative; and has had perfect litterbox usage. She entered foster care approximately 2 pounds underweight. Now tipping the scale at 8 pounds, Freya needs to gain another 1-1.5 pounds. Otherwise, she is healthy based on physical examinations by a veterinarian and current laboratory testing. Inexplicably, Freya will not eat soft cat food. She is currently eating Hills EN kibble. Freya gets along with one of the fosters’ cats, a gentle male who respects Freya’s boundaries. Through no fault of her own, Freya does not get along with the fosters’ assertive F2 female Bengal. Her Ideal Forever Family: • No young children. • At least one family member that is retired or works from home. • Only laid-back cats and/or dogs that will not be aggressive towards Freya and who will allow her to assimilate into the animal family at her own pace. Freya had to fend for herself for an unknown period of time, during which she struggled just to survive. A loving family and a safe forever home for Freya is long overdue.
