Meet Kovu, a striking 7-year-old Bengal with a big voice and an even bigger personality. This handsome, chatty guy thrives on human connection-he'll nudge you for chin rubs, roll over for back scratches, and even try to climb into your lap for attention. Kovu is confident, affectionate with adults and visitors, and loves exploring new spaces, batting around spring toys, and showing off his Bengal charm.
Kovu has had a hard time adjusting to indoor-only living and may benefit from a lifestyle that includes safe outdoor access-such as a secured yard or catio-in a quiet, cat-savvy home outside of city limits. He has a history of stress-related litter box issues, especially when cohabiting with other animals. While he didn't behave negatively toward a resident dog in a previous home, he regularly marked the dog's belongings and has made it clear that he prefers being the only pet.
His behavior assessments have noted a possible hearing loss, which may contribute to some of his communication and stress-related challenges. While not formally diagnosed, this may explain why he sometimes appears unresponsive to sound or overstimulated in certain environments.
Kovu is easygoing for nail trims, enjoys a good scratch post, and doesn't mind visitors. He's a smart, social boy who thrives on attention and structure, but also needs his space when he's feeling overwhelmed. If you're experienced with high-energy breeds and can offer Kovu the understanding and enriched environment he deserves, he just might be the perfect addition to your home.
