Description
With a very heavy heart, I am looking for an exceptional permanent home for Fendi and Bagheera, two beautiful young cats who will be rehomed together.
Fendi is a brown Bengal, born 23 October 2023. Bagheera is a large, black Bengal cross, born 16 January 2025; his mother was a tabby and his father a Bengal.
This follows a significant change in my personal circumstances. Finding the right permanent home matters far more to me than finding one quickly.
Fendi – the charmer
Fendi is a dream cat. He is extremely affectionate, gentle and emotionally intelligent, with a lovely balance between independence and closeness.
He isn’t a conventional lap cat or constantly attached to you, but he forms very genuine relationships with his humans. He is wonderfully communicative: when he wants affection, he comes and tells you, and sometimes genuinely seems to hold a conversation. He loves being stroked, purrs beautifully, makes enthusiastic biscuits and, once bonded with you, gives the gentlest little nose bumps.
There is something almost old-soul-like about him. He looks directly into your eyes and has an unusually perceptive quality. When I watch television, he often sits beside me, content to be stroked or simply have my hand resting on him.
He greets you warmly when you come home and regularly checks in. Visitors don’t faze him either. I sometimes call him Romeo because people fall in love with him remarkably quickly.
Bagheera – the gentle guardian
Bagheera’s affection is quieter than Fendi’s, but no less meaningful. He loves sharing space with his humans and greets you warmly when you come home. His surprisingly soft meow is particularly funny coming from such a large cat.
He takes a little longer to warm to unfamiliar people, but once he trusts you his affection is deep. He likes knowing where his humans are without needing constant physical contact, and will often quietly sit nearby while I watch television.
His name comes from Bagheera, the wise, calm black panther in Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, and it suits him remarkably well. He is peaceful, friendly and self-assured. He doesn’t seek confrontation or try to be the alpha; his instinct is to make friends, although he will stand up for himself if pushed.
His coat is a beautiful, deep, velvety black. As a kitten, faint Bengal-style ghost rosettes could be seen against it, although these are much less visible now. Despite his size, I still call him my little lamb.
Their life together
Fendi and Bagheera play beautifully, share their cat trees and have a peaceful, easy relationship.
They need human companionship as well as each other. They can spend reasonable periods at home together, but would not suit a household where everyone is routinely out all day. A home with someone working from home, overlapping schedules or otherwise plenty of human presence would suit them beautifully.
Both adapt well to household routines. They are equally happy sleeping on your bed if invited or settling elsewhere. Neither has lived with dogs, and I would not consider a home with dogs.
Outdoor safety
Both enjoy being outside, but I take road safety extremely seriously.
Fendi in particular has extremely poor road sense. With unrestricted access, I once found him beside a road panicked and disorientated, running unpredictably around traffic.
Having sadly lost cats to road accidents, I will not take that risk again. I am looking for genuinely safe outdoor access: a secure/cat-proofed garden or catio, or a rural setting without busy roads nearby. Unrestricted roaming in an ordinary residential area with significant traffic would not be suitable.
Health & practical care
Both are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, fully litter trained and receive regular flea and worm treatment.
Fendi came to me from his previous owner in 2024 with loose stools and subsequently tested positive for Giardia. He was treated successfully, recovered completely and has had no recurrence or related gastrointestinal problems since.
When Bagheera came to me as a young kitten, a vet found what appeared to be a corneal injury or abrasion, possibly accidental or sustained while playing with his littermates. He was treated with eye drops, healed completely and has had no problems with the eye since. He has otherwise been an exceptionally healthy young cat.
Both are food-motivated, love treats and are straightforward to medicate when necessary. Both prefer wet food but also eat dry food and is particularly easy to get into a carrier and beautifully behaved at the vet.
Fendi is a pedigree Bengal, although his previous owner did not provide his pedigree certificate. I have his veterinary records, microchip information and other relevant documentation.
What comes with them
They will go with carriers, an initial supply of their usual food, information about their routines and care, and a familiar cat tree so they arrive with somewhere they already recognise as safe.
Rehoming fee – £400 for both
The fee is not intended to recover what I paid or make money from rehoming. The right permanent home matters far more, and there is some flexibility for the right home.
They will not be separated. Breeders, resellers or anyone seeking them for commercial purposes will not be considered.
If you’re interested
Please tell me about your household, normal working pattern and how long the cats would usually be without human company; your experience with cats; any existing pets; whether you own or rent; and the indoor and outdoor environment you could offer them.
I’m happy to answer questions about their personalities, health, routines and care. Above everything else, I want them to have a safe, affectionate and permanent home where their lovely friendship can continue.
Fendi may charm you immediately. Bagheera may take a little longer. But once Bagheera decides that you are his person, I think you may discover that the quiet black cat beside Fendi is every bit as special.
