Sebastian is a male, marbled Bengal cat. who arrived at The Wildcat Sanctuary in 2010. He was not even a year old.
Sebastian’s owner contacted the local Humane Society to surrender him because he was having accidents in the house. They contacted us and we agreed to take him in.

Life at the Sanctuary
We performed an intake exam and diagnosed him with Giardia and Trichamonas Foetus, both gastrointestinal parasites which were causing his poor litter box habits.
After receiving the medical treatment he needed, he’s doing wonderfully at the sanctuary. Sebastian’s a very social boy who loves to jump, cuddle, and be the center of attention.
He became fast friends with two other hybrids, Hilo and Kashmir, and they’re often found playing together. They have perches, dens, and logs to run on and hide in. What a happy ending for little Sebastian!
How You Can Help
Caring for a wild cat for life – even a small hybrid like Sebastian – can be quite expensive. Hybrids usually come to us with special needs, genetic and/or medical issues due to their breeding.
Our sponsorship program helps support the cats’ care costs and allows you to form a special bond with them. Would you consider becoming Sebastian’s sponsor parent?
Or even a one time donation toward his care would be so appreciated. It’s easy to do using the buttons at the top of this page.
Thank you for caring about the little wild ones, too!

After losing his voice, he also became a raspy breather. Over recent months, his appetite began to wane. And eventually it became harder for him to breathe. When his oxygen levels dropped, we had to do the most humane thing and say good-bye to our little friend.
group, he got whatever he wanted. His bungalow habitat was at the front of the sanctuary, so he serenaded every staff member, intern, and volunteer as they arrived for work.
