Bongo is a male, medium-sized domestic short hair cat with a classic black and white tuxedo coat. He’s a baby, full of potential with a gentle nature. While he is altered and up-to-date on vaccinations, he’s also eager to find his forever home in Candler, NC.

About Bongo

Bongo has a gentle nature and a sweet soul. He's a bit more reserved than his foster kitten friends, Betta and Tortellini, preferring to watch the action before diving into playtime himself. Once he realized how much fun games could be, he hasn’t wanted to stop. His growing confidence and calm demeanor make him absolutely charming. After giving him a little time to settle in, you’ll witness his delightful personality as he embraces the comforts of his forever home. You can complete the online adoption application to be the first to schedule a meet and greet with Bongo, or visit him during our weekly adoption event at PetSmart, Bleachery Blvd, from 12-4 PM. Mountain Pet Rescue ensures all cats are spayed/neutered, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, FELV/FIV tested, and dewormed. Bongo is patiently waiting for a loving family.
