Meet Pencils!

Pencils came to B&B as a tiny baby with his littermates and is now ready for his furever home! Just a tiny, vocal boy who does well with other cats and dogs! He loves to snuggle with the dog in his foster home and does well with other cats! One of his favorite activities is to sun bathe and he loves to play, but also sometimes prefers to watch rather than play.

He loves to stay put right with you for all the pets and just so quiet! He's the type that is shy at first and opens up later. Oh and loves the camera!

Pencils is up-to-date on core vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. He is FIV/FeLV negative. He is litter box trained, and all Beagles and Bentleys cats are required to be indoor only. His adoption fee is $150 and covers the cost of his care while in foster. To apply to adopt Pencils, please apply at beaglesandbentleys.org/adopt.

Note: Sending a Petfinder inquiry is not submitting an application. We require a completed adoption application to move forward with adoption.

Beagles and Bentleys has an across-the-board evaluative process that we apply to every application we review that prioritizes our animals in need. We conduct a vet reference check (all resident dogs must be altered/up to date on dhpp/rabies and monthly preventatives, and cats must be altered and up to date on rabies) and a virtual home visit call where we discuss the adoption process and see your home.
