Woman adopts cat, then comes the big surprise 

“The more you engage a sentient creature, the more they will respond back to you.” The ultimate takeaway lesson. I know from experience that this is true.

People do not realize that animals can have problems like lack of trust, PTSD, fear, etc. Thank you so much for the empathy, kindness and patience that you have shown this good little boy ...

The more we watch this video, the more impressed we are with Julia, George’s mama. She is exemplary for an Enlightened human being. ❤❤❤❤

George the Bengal cat is so lucky that Julia willingly took him in when others thought that he was a lost cause. She is a super great hooman mother to George and performed a gradual miracle in getting George's life turned around for the better. Julia's love, patience, care and devotion to George is amazing !!!!! Thank you so much and way to go, Julia !!!!!!!!!!!

Many, many thanks and blessings for NOT giving up on George, and for providing the wonderful home he deserves!! ❣️❣️You are BOTH one in a million!

We adopted a calico with similar behavior and now, after 4 years, she still growls at us but we can pick her up and pet her which was a huge win. We are still working on her but we will never give up on her. Great work with George.

When I was fostering, I called purebred Bengals "boomerang cats", because they were returned more often than not. Julia should be commended for her patience and tenacity!

I love George's raspy meows. ❤

So happy for beautiful George! It’s so SAD and shameful that these babies get put down simply because they weren’t socialized correctly by people! AND simply because of thee breed! Please don’t give up on your pets!! They are intelligent, emotional and loving little souls! I’m so sorry this poor boy had to go through 4 homes. That alone is traumatic! Love and blessings to this woman, and Georgie, and all of you out there who understand the love for animals.

This would be a good video for shelters to show new adopters. Love, patience, positive training. Some people blame an animal for its behavior. Humans caused that behavior. Humans have the responsibility to fix it. This lady is a gem.

I love his chatter. Love his independent character. He has been through a lot but he has found his soulmate.

Bless you for being the perfect mum to George. He’s a gorgeous boy.

Seeing George become a good boy-and then hearing glass shatter off screen, that got me. 😂 So glad this sweet handful has such a patient friend to care for him.

Awesome cat!!! I’m so happy he found his forever home!!! 🥰❤️🐈🇨🇦🙏🙏🙏

Wonderful storytelling! She has shown George immense love and patience. She's a true nurturer.

I used to have an aggressive Bengal boy but I just loved that guy. He was also so sweet and so smart. He passed away a few years ago. We ended up adopting two more Bengal boys who needed a home after their original owners couldn't handle them anymore. Bengals aren't for everyone. They're very active and can be challenging but they're also so amazing. So glad George found you!

I can tell right off George is s sweetie. Just look at his face and his reactions. He’s been traumatized, but really a good kid. I love you for taking him in. 😺

Your patience and love won him over 🥰💞

I have had my Bengal for over 13 years, and she is as vocal and demanding as George. (She is RARELY quiet.) They are a unique breed who need unique owners. Lucky George!❤

Mid point one hears a crash, I can fully relate. What a GORGEOUS boy and great mom! 👏🙏✌️

WOW! Thank you so much! This story is one I share. Adopted a 2 yr. old F2 Bengal from a shelter after owner wanted him put down. He destroyed everything and bit me the first year. He also had a gorgeous glitter coat. He LOVED walks and bonded with a bull terrier and a family of fawns whose mom brought to visit him. He loved being held like a little baby and became one of those once in a lifetime cats I miss painfully yet with gratitude for the magnificent adventure of my wild and crazy rescue Bengal.❤️‍🩹

Amazing persistence and patience in this lady!! 💜💙💚

Gorgeous cat. Never give up❤

I see love, patience and understanding❤️ the timing of whatever dropped in the background was priceless was it George?😹

What a gorgeous cat! His markings are amazing! So glad he was found by this loving caring human. Thank you for sharing ❤

We can’t all be happy & cheery all the time & George is our reminder 😊😉🥰 He’s wonderful just the way he is & he was meant to be loved by this women-she gets him👍🏼

That foster mom is wonderful! George is so lucky to have landed with her. She knew what to do for him.

George is such a handsome cat. And the compassion and understanding and patience you showed him you are not going to leave him and I think he understood that and began to respond back. A very heartwarming😊❤

Thank you so much for giving him a loving home, a sense of permanence and security so that he can finally be a happy cat and thrive. He's such a beautiful boy! With patience, encouragement and love, kitties who have been through trauma, including feeling unwanted and abandoned can and will be content and loving - a little less destructive! lol! Two of my rescue kitties had similar issues and both eventually came to feel safe, became very cuddly, gentle - and quit breaking things! 🥰❤😺

When people understand their strengths, weaknesses and limitations of both their pets and themselves ... it leads to better outcomes for a balanced happy home for all. 😻🐾💖

Thank you for being you. George is beautiful and because of you is now at peace with himself and the world around him.

This Woman is a HERO!

Julia is a saint to take on a cat like George, and just look at how George has responded to her love and her teaching. Julia, you and George are made for each other. Love to you both!

George’s mom is a wonderfully patient soul who deserves a major award for taming such a spicy kit-kat. And look at what a little loving attention has been able to do.🥰 The power of love strikes again.❤

George is such a beautiful Bengal w/adorable mews and squeaks. Poor guy, four previous homes, probably misunderstood from the start, anxiety only got worse. Never got what he needed until this woman, finally socialized b/c he's understood. I love how when she's talking about him, we hear a crash 1:53. 😂😾😹

Wow, not only are his meows very sweet sounding, but I swear she has actually managed to teach him English as well, lol. When she asked him to jump, I’m sure I heard him say “I do. I know.” He is clearly very attached to her & she is also VERY good at reading him. 🥰 These 2 are actually the perfect match for one another! She is indeed VERY skilled at managing challenging & complex animal behaviours. I have a Behavioural Science degree & would quite confidently say that she is doing pretty much everything right. 👌 In fact, the terminology she uses seems to suggests 1 of 3 things. Either she has a similar background herself; or she has extensively researched Animal Behaviouralism; or alternatively, she is just highly intuitive, with an uncanny ability to read behaviour; or perhaps even all of the above. Overall, excellent job. You are a good example of how to manage challenging behaviours. Well done. 👍

Χαρη στην ευγενικη σας καρδια αυτο το πανεμορφο πλασματακι ζει σε ενα ζεστο σπιτι οπου το αγαπουν και το φροντιζουν!!!!!! Με πολυ αγαπη!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇬🇷

So glad you found each other. Not all humans would be so kind and tolerant. He's a sweetie and you've done your due diligence with patience and kindness and all your hard work has paid off. What a beautiful companion he is 😻

I too had a super aggressive cat. She tore my ass up. But I chose to care for her so with lots of patients, love and a little blood 🩸 she turned out to be the most affectionate kitty I ever had. She passed about 6 years ago but I always get a tear in my eye and a smile on my face when I remember my beloved Mojo. Great video he is adorable 🥰

I love how the woman knows herself and respects all others… 😊

He looks like a Bengal -- so not a typical domestic cat. Bengals have their own strong personalities.

They are clearly meant for each other 💜

Julia is very kind to take in an aggressive cat on top of fostering other kittens.

You are such a blessing on this earth - love that you helped this sweet boy.

This cat mom is an EXTRAORDINARY, PATIENT AND WONDERFUL PERSON! I am so happy George had her on his side! ❤❤❤❤❤

His meows and noises he makes are adorable. And his face...those eyes...how could you not fall in love?

1:51 "So now, I take him for... crash!!!"

First of all kudos to Julia. Clearly this is a highly intelligent cat that was not raised with the stimulation and love and respect he deserved. And oh joy, he now has someone who gets him!❤❤❤❤❤❤

I think George really hit the jackpot with this lovely woman! May they have many more wonderful years together.

It's interesting that the rescue did not let her know how aggressive George was. No wonder he was returned a few times if that is true. Glad George finally found the right person. Not many people have this kind of patience.

Thank you for being Loyal to George the Bengal cat ❤ 🐈 Is he off the Prozac now? That's got to be a temporary thing right?

Julia has exactly the right approach... Reward and reinforce the positive behaviors and give predictable interaction on the cat's terms. ❤❤

This lady is such a good person. George is lucky to be with her❤

Thank you for not giving up on this beautiful boy 💙 🥰😍

Beautiful woman with a big heart.

Thank you for giving this lovely boi the stability he needed! ❤

Thank you for being patient with George, I am glad he found his person

Bengals are wonderful cats with the right home and owner. Thanks for recognizing this and for having the patience and fortitude to help him find the best version of himself.❤

That is the prettiest cat ever! 🙂 Thank you for giving George the home he needed and for being patient with him when others couldn't be bothered to do so. You're a good person, and thank you for sharing this. 🙂

George is [G]eorg(e)ous! Bengals are very social and highly energetic cats, and Julia is the perfect pet parent for him. Thank you for giving him a home he feels safe in and appreciated for who he is! Greetings from my Bengal mix. 😁

Julia was always suppose to be Georges forever mom. Glad they found each other. ❤❤❤

You are so patient and kind to take on this kitty. He seems to be a sweetie when he has the attention he needs. All cats are different and have different needs.

What a special sweetheart

The breaking glass mid sentence... just... ❤ much love to this woman of such amazing tolerance!

You are what a true Humane Human looks like! Kudos for your loving kind soul! Bengal cats are truly a special kind of gorgeous, rumbunctious Meowsers that need lots of activities to keep them out of trouble!

What a beautiful cat George is 😻 Love, love, love all his different meows😸 Thank you for being George's mamma. 💙😺🩵

We acquired our female silver marble Bengal, Mikka, as a rescue, too! She was 'crazy' skiddish as a kitten and pretty vocal, as I've learned over the years most Bengals are if you converse with them regularly__with their classic 'raspy', sometimes 'gargling' meows. 😺 Another common 'trait' is they enjoy walking across the highest points in their environment, knocking things off as they go along, sometimes intentionally. 😛🐾🐈 Two things are for certain, 1) no matter the variances you can always tell Bengals by looking at their faces__and they produce stares that seem to look intently into your brain; 2) they are highly intelligent, and learn very quickly! 😺 George is a gorgeous little boy__and his 'aggressiveness' will mellow out a little as time goes by. My Mikka is my 11 1/2 year old little 'princess' with the occasional 'drama queen' attitude__she is definitely a 'personality', and we love her dearly! 🐾🐈💖 Love, Light, and Bengal Blessings. 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺

Bengals have beautiful coats. It just takes that one special person to give George a loving and accepting home.

He's such a beautiful cat. Very talkative.

Happy life to george and his person. ❤🐈❤🙂

Bengals are incredibly high-energy animals - they're the closest thing we have to wild cats in the domesticated space. So many people adopt - or worse, BUY - an animal without thought as to what the animal's needs are, as opposed to what they want. Julia has done a wonderful job with George and I'm so happy for them both! Keep it up, you two, and I hope I see you on a walk someday - I'll be sure to offer him scritches!

LOL we adopted what everyone thought was a beautiful little tiny blue/grey tabby kitten. He was the only survivor out in a culvert by a busy freeway on a cold snowy winters day . He was obviously feral but anything else was unknown . He had digestive issues and gastrointestinal issues. He was the sweetest little kitten. Our beautiful cat had died at 14yrs of age from thyroid cancer and we were desperate to find the right kitty. I took one look at the tiny ball of fluff so terrified in the cage. I asked to pick him up .I reached in and he recoiled and hissed. I placed my hand on him and began to pet him. I picked him up. He immediately snuggled into my down coat. I bent over and kissed the top of his tiny head and whispered “I love you” He tilted his little head up and kissed my nose . From that moment on he has been my kitty. His name is Beau the masculine of Bella who was our kitty. We have discovered from our vet that Beau is in fact a blue Bengal hybrid with a tabby. He is not a year old and he is approximately 17 Ilbs . He is probably about F5 Bengal so he has both tabby and Bengal characteristics. He doesn’t shed much and he has the sparkle coat. He trills chirps and barks. He has a Bengal build but his only spots are on his tummy. You have a Bengal who is probably an F4 but wasn’t fortunate to get an understanding home as a baby. You are on the right track but you have some work. We will start leash training Beau very soon . IF you decide to do this you must have a very secure halter and leash . Goodluck Love from Beau and family ❤❤❤❤

Whether it's a human animal or a cat or dog, it's all the same needs: understanding, acceptance, kindness and LOVE. Julia has these in abundance and gives them in return. Plus, her love of teaching does her so well with everyone she has relationships with! I kept smiling as I watched the video.

That you said you respect the animal on his own terms was wonderful! -- 50 years of cat rescue

She's so right about cats being sentient!

Aww gorgeous George, his Mum is a wonderful Lady and Family 💕

You can tell it's a very intelligent cat by the eyes. Thank you for loving this animal.

He is a beautiful kitty. Glad he found a parent that understands him enough George be George.

Special person to stick with a cat like George. She truly loves him! To have had so much blood drawn by him, the howling, the aggression, yet these are the kind of cats that are good with fostering kittens because they know babies are babies and need baby treatment.

Beautiful story and outcome for all concerned. There is much Love, empathy, and understanding here. Love to George.❤

They all are beautiful gorgeous animals.

George is absolutely beautiful thankyou for not giving up on him. You are Awesome!

Wonderful video. I have an 18 lb strong muscular bengal, who was behaviorally like George. He was owner surrendered at 5 years old, to the shelter that i provide foster services for. For 2 years we worked on positive reinforcement, enrichment, training, etc etc, along with OTC calming products. We did it all for our bengal. No change in his aggressive behavior. The vet recommended that Buddy the bengal be put on Prozac. OMG!!! What a miracle. Within 2 days of being on the medication, we observed significant positive change. As on writing this, Buddy has been on Prozac for 6 weeks. He is relaxed, affectionate with humans and our other cats, and he no longer attacks us and draws blood. We are so grateful that the vet recommended medication for Buddy. He is now at ease with his life.

This woman is such a beautiful and good, decent person. This cat needed her and she saw that. She is amazing.

George's mama is very special in her own right.... And George is gorgeous!!!

This really warms my heart. Thank you for taking the time to help George be comfortable & feel safe 😻

What a character. Thank you for your efforts!

Thank you for not giving up on him! You are an amazing animal lover😻🙏✨❤️

Thank goodness you came along when you did Mama, I’m so glad George found you. Please be his Mama till the end. He loves you, totally 💯❤️😻. He will mellow w age. Thank you great human 🙏🥰🫶🏼

Thank you for taking care of your little friend! They are important.

God bless this person for being patient with this amazing cat. He deserved a second chance. ❤❤❤

Beautiful story, he found the perfect home❤️💯🐾

How sweet is he❤

You're so awesome!!! Great work with George. He really deserved a person who gets him and who was willing to meet him on his own terms. I love stories like this!

We have a cat that has a personality not everyone can handle too. All they really need id someone who sees them and gives them a fair chance to find a loving home. The reward you get for giving them stability and love is the greatest gift.

Thank GOD for people like you Julia; with the capacity to bring out the best in both animal and human. You've done an incredible job with George, the Bengal Cat. Seeing how he interacted with you, melted my heart. Much ❤ and Many Blessings to you, George, and your small dog! 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤💐

Thank you for not giving up on George. He is a stunningly beautiful kitty, and a loving one too.

You have a lot more patience than I do. Thank you for taking George in and loving him. ❤

LOL! The sound of breaking glass in the middle of the video is priceless.

Thanks for such an informative video! So glad that George and the rest of his family are getting along so well, thanks to their amazing pet mom!!🙂
