Say Hello to Resident Cats Jacey and Leo
One of the first things you'll notice about us is the striking markings we both have. That's because we're bengal cats. And because of our age and how strongly we've attached ourselves to the people who work here, we're not available for adoption.
Jacey was living in a home with a veterinarian, but when one of the children went off to boarding school, she found ways to entertain herself. One of those ways was to sneak out of the house to climb onto the roof of the home. Her person realized this couldn't continue, and sadly sought a home for her. She made her way to San Diego and has been a resident cat for many years now. You'll notice some scarring on the left side of her face due to radiation therapy that took care of a nasal lymphoma. Despite her age and the cancer treatment, Jacey still runs around and plays like a cat ten years younger than her.
Leo found himself abandoned in an empty house when his people moved. Because he was left behind after eight years, he was depressed when he arrived at The Cat Cafe. He didn't eat enough to keep his weight at a healthy level initially. But as he learned to trust the people on staff, he began to eat enough to sustain himself. That's why the veterinarians said Leo should stay with us at The Cat Cafe.
While neither of these cats are adoptable, they're good ambassadors for their breed and they give return visitors a pair of cats they can look forward to seeing.
