We often find Oscar cuddled up with our older male Bengals. He is comfortable being held by humans. Once picked up, Oscar is perfectly content to cuddle and be petted for long periods of time. For a small cat, he has a big purr.

Elvy is a bundle of joy, full of energy and love. She is a never-ending purring machine and is just always so happy. She loves being wherever her humans are, so save a spot for her on the couch. She is so smart and loves playing with the toys her foster mom gives her. She adores belly rubs and head scratches so much that she will bump into you until you spoil her with them.
