I am relatively new to Bengals, I only found out about them last year, what can I say, late starter.

I am now Shelter Coordinator and Foster Mom for Great Lakes Bengal Rescue, a rescue for Bengal Cats covering 8 States in the Midwest of the USA. I am English and I have been here for almost 7 years now with my American husband James.

I am overjoyed that in September a Bengal joined our household. Two year old Cinnamon Marble Bengal, Sakura. We are her third and permanent home.



Here is another photo of my pride and joy.


And another..


Then Sakura chose a mate. Three year old Apollo joined her permanently in October. His second home.


I am also fostering 2 year old sisters Laila and Lucy who are looking for a home at www.greatlakesbengalrescue.com

We also have 3 dogs so it is a busy household.

I look forward very much to being a part of this forum.

Hi Shantra,

Welcome to the forum. Sakura is beautiful, what a fantastic colour, so is Apollo.

I've just had a look at the website, so many beautiful cats looking for a home. It must be very hard but rewarding work.

Look forward to hearing all about your cats and the rescues.

Jules.

Welcome to you & your fur babies... Well done you, for the great job you are doing..!!

I have 2 marble bengals too..!!!

Hi and welcome to you and your beautiful cats. I don't believe I have ever seen a pic of a cinnamon bengal before. Stunning color! I think you're going to be sharing some great and entertaining stories and pics of your furbabies!

Thank you so much for being so welcoming everyone. It was Janet Saltzman, President of Great Lakes Bengal Rescue who told me what color Sakura is. Her 2nd owners described her as caramel and butterscotch color, which was pretty accurate actually!

That she is so distinctive made me hopeful I might find her breeder as I have searched for Cinnamon Marble kittens and came up blank so they can't be that numerous.

Maybe some day.

What a good job to have. I hope you find lots of homes for these special cats. Your cats are lovely. I've seen marble that color offered somewhere. I'm trying to remember where the pictures was so I can send it to you. I think it might have been a past kitten out of our Tarzan's breeder. It is unique. Welcome too. My husband and I are new to the breed. Always wanted one and finally had the opening in our family and fate put us with Tarzan
