Glad to see this cat has their new foster human, I’m sure they will take great care of you!

Very cute. I cant foster anymore cause I want to keep them all.

Wow - for a moment I thought you had stolen my cat - nearly the same markings. Is his/her fur shiny?

The reason I ask is because mine is half snow bengal, and she inherited the "glow" bengal fur gets in certain sunlight, and it looks like the one of the parents of yours might be a bengal as well.

If so, you've got a rare cat on your hands - cashmere bengals (long hair) are very uncommon due to recessive gene traits, and highly sought after as their fur is hypoallergenic. If they come from the Amur leopard cat line (snow bengal), they're even rarer - a kitten with papers can fetch $7k.

Mine came to me as part of the cat distribution system (in fact, her mom, who is feral and I can't catch, is likely going to have another litter under my house), so no papers, but she's the best cat I've ever owned. Very smart, very polite, and despite the fact I'm allergic to other cats, I can rub my face in her fur with no problems. Very needy though if she doesn't get attention - most social cat I've ever owned.

I could never foster because I'd want to keep them. !lemmysilver
