Ghost (bonded with Marbles and Hercules) - Bengal Cat for Adoption in Pickering, Ontario

**NOTE: All AVA kittens under 12 months of age MUST be adopted in pairs or to a home with another young cat. AVA does not accept applications for single kittens**

Ghost is a gorgeous male Bengal who came to AVA with his mum Marbles, brother Hercules and 12 other cats when they were surrendered by a backyard breeder. Now these lovely cats are ready for a fresh start and will make an instant family for a lucky adopter.

Ghost is a snow Bengal kitten, an indoor “miniature snow leopard”. Most striking about Ghost are his vivid, blue eyes. His light, creamy coat has very subtle rosettes (which will likely darken as he grows) and his legs have darker, sepia coloured markings. Like his mother Marbles, he is very unique in appearance and is even cuter in person.

Ghost is a more careful, thoughtful kitten than his younger brother Hercules. He enjoys chasing wand toys and small toys like springs. Like Hercules, he will need continued practice learning that human hands are not toys.

Ghost is not scared of the vacuum cleaner and is even curious about it. There are definite signs that Ghost will learn to play fetch like Marbles, but with a plastic spring rather than a ball. Hercules is a dynamic playmate for Ghost. The brothers play together, groom each other, and after a play session, are content to cuddle together. They are often found snuggling with Marbles too. Sleeping on top of a human is another favourite place.

All AVA kittens 12 months or younger must be adopted in pairs or go to a home with another young cat (3 years or younger). Kittens learn from each other how to behave, which helps them turn into well-adjusted adult cats. In general, paired cats have happier and healthier lives because they have a constant companion and playmate. Plus, it's twice the fun for you, and half the work!

The Bengal cat is a unique and striking breed known for its wild appearance and playful demeanor. Developed by crossing Asian leopard cats with domestic shorthairs, Bengals have luxurious, soft coats with distinctive markings that resemble those of wild leopards. These intelligent and energetic cats make loving companions, forming strong bonds with their human families. With their active nature and love for play, Bengals require plenty of mental and physical stimulation to thrive in a home environment.
