High Quality Bengals Need Homes!

Hi no one is paying me for this, I am personally just super excited. Anyone who follows me may now be aware I have a wonderful Bengal kitten, Palomita, ten months old:

She has two full sisters who have not found their forever homes yet (one is a marble, which is less popular than the classic rosettes) and I thought I'd share with the tumblr crowd as this sort of thing is mostly stuck on el Face. It's best if you're in Southern California, but I flew to pick Palomita up so.

If you are in need of ADVENTURES:

This is Sharkey! She is the most outgoing of her litter of SEVEN, ideal for someone who is looking for a high energy companion. Huge loving heart. She MUST have a cat wheel, ideally a catio.

If you are in need of CUDDLES:

This is Starla! She was returned by her first owner who claimed the cat made them experience brain fog, so Starla's next home should be her last one. She is quiet, sweet, VERY cuddly.

If you are interested in either kitty, please contact Reanne of Glitterati Bengals over on Facebook, or check out their website.

Reanne is a quality breeder with strong ethics who studied under foundational Bengal breeders. Teachers, civil servants and veterans may qualify for discounts on her wonderful (but not cheap) lap leopards.

If you are interested in Bengals, please do your research before committing to one! Quality Bengal Kittens is a good resource for fantastic info on the breed. They're high energy, love to climb, and super smart, and not usually recommended for a first time cat owner (like yours truly), but if you're ready to put in the work you won't be sorry. Many people with cat dander sensitivities report having less reaction to Bengals--like myself!--Reanne in particular breeds for the least reactive cats possible.

i miss them a little if im gonna be honest

[marblemartian]

to anyone looking to get a ball python:

please either rescue or adopt. the saturation is fucking Insane and giving more money to breeders who have Hundreds of these snakes in itty bitty barren racks their entire lives only perpetuates the suffering of innocent snakes. the practice is no better than that of puppy mills more often than not.

thats not to mention the number of surrendered ball pythons is insanely high BECAUSE of this over-saturation. first time pet people go to expos, bring home a snake they dont know how to care for, get bored of it and surrender it. those snakes deserve love.

if you do decide to purchase from a breeder, please make sure theyre a small scale breeder with proper husbandry practices and actual enrichment for their snakes.

make sure you meet their breeder snakes, that theyre in good health, and ask for photos of their enclosures. they dont have to be giant terrariums, just enough for them to Actually move and stimulate their brain and allow thermoregulation. so many Large ball python breeders have a bin that is large enough for the snake to sit there. thats IT.

Ryan Reynolds saying "Is it Peggles?" In response to trying to guess his movie co stars, and guessed it was Peggy, the dog that was Dogpool will never not be adorable.

The fact that he had to put salmon paste in his mouth for her to stick her tounge into his mouth too is just Ugh- The dedication.

She won 2023's Britans' most "ugliest dog." And that's one of the reasons they picked her.

So for all the people saying "Its so canon that Deadpool would pick the ugliest mutt he could find" YES. He literally did. That's exactly what happened.

Peggy is a crossbreed between a Pug and a Chinese Crested Dog, also known as a Pugese. She was born in 2018 and adopted by Holly Middleton when she was six months old.

Oh god, I love Peggles, but I hope no backyard breeders try to purposly breed more dogs like her for cash like they did with Airbud, 101 dalamtions, and Snowdogs/Balto. The shelters are STILL full of huskys because of that.

6:55 is the scene :)

i know i don't talk much about my pets (who aren't leon) here but after keeping reptiles and amphibians for a decade i might finally get into breeding them and i'm so excited!!

[seabeck]

Even if doodles were ethical they're still the ugliest damn dogs I've ever had the misfortune of seeing

[anoras]

cat people are sooo lucky bc u can literally just go outside and find some random tabby that you can make live in your house and love you meanwhile I'm writing an essay about my lifestyle for the chance to be put on a wait list to maybe get a puppy

[hazard-and-friends]

excited for k'seil being old enough to Do Things With bc the local aussie FB group is overrun with "all tailed aussies come from Bad Breeders because GOOD breeders think the standard was handed down from god on sinai"

[cowpokezuko]

I need a dog so bad but I grew up in a cat household so I literally only have experience with other people's dogs. Arggh I want a dog so bad but I Don't actually have any cred and I don't want to fuck it up.

I also don't want to get one while I'm in college so its not like I'm getting one anytime soon.

[spywitch]

Theres a hilarious hypocrisy I notice of pibble rescue people who clutch their pearls over ear cropping dogs, who also go “awwww!” and absolutely LOVE when they see a big bully with cropped ears. They think they’re so cute. Like maybe they react that way bc of their savior complex and they feel pity for the poooooor “abused” pitty, but they will never admit its also cuz they LIKE the way cropped ears look 😂

Y’ALL I GOT THE JOB 🥲

[nyadversary]

god okay fine i'm going to visit the video game shelter and adopt a ps5 so i can play baldur's gate 3 and fuck that horrible little vampire you people won't shut up about.

[kangals]

I once saw a bernese mountain dog breeder say that flea/heartworm/ect medications DIRECTLY caused hip issues in the breed because it 'isnt natural'

people will go out of their way to blame literally anything on preventatives. seizures? its from the preventative. hip dysplasia? preventatives. dog fell down the stairs and broke its leg? preventatives.

[a-polite-melody]

It occurs to me.

That I would have a very good joke if the cat I end up choosing to get when I’m ready after my first planned pet (Sheltie; average weight/height: 11 lbs - 24 lbs, 13” - 16”) when I finally am moved over to be with my partner is a Maine Coon (average weight/height: 12lbs - 22 lbs, 10” - 16”)…

Is that I like my cats like I like my dogs.
