I've found that Bengals usually take care of themselves. We keep blankets on chairs and on the couch, and we got them a very fuzzy cat bed. They will usually find these things and nestle in when they're cold. If you have another pet, she'll nestle with that pet to stay warm too. I'd just suggest keeping blankets and warm beds on hand. She'll find them. But she will spend most of her time following you around and being all up in your business! These are the most curious breed of cat that there is. I hope you don't expect to ever go the bathroom alone again, because I haven't since I got them, haha! They are quick! I’m the girl with the two F4 Bengals!

Your basement isn't that cold, so she should be fine. Put down a fuzzy blanket (so it feels like fur) or get a cat bed so she has something to curl up on.

I also had friends who put a sweater on their elderly cat in the winter to keep him warm... Perhaps a space heater in the room where the cat is staying?

In fact they're a few different fairly good products you could consider..Any real pet store or go on line look for a company with an available small animal catalog .They'll be able to help you.

A cat will usually find the warm spots themselves. However, I have a fleece cube that can be purchased at any pet supply store. They usually have an opening on two opposite ends. I just cover one end with a towel to eliminate possible drafts. I also put an old flannel shirt or fleece covered pad on the bottom of the inside. This should be enough. I do have a cat that will burrow under the covers on our bed!! Cats are pretty resourceful. Keep her inside. Contrary to popular belief, cats do not have to be outside animals.

A cat that old is set in a routine. You wouldn't want her to become ill or depressed. Don't take her and then have to give her up. Why can't the A/C be repaired? Why do you live in a basement apt.? Could you move? Why don't you live up? Is it like a three plex? I don't know why I am asking you all these questions. You don't have to tell me. But I keep thinking of a damp, cold basement apartment and the poor cat living there. It is your choice but not the cats. I just read your added details about the house. If the cat will only be sleeping with you, that's not too bad. She'll just snuggle up with you and keep warm. If she is going to have the run of the house she might not want to sleep with you..........Good Luck To You and your new roommate........ I would talk to the person you are getting her from.

Don't worry about her too much I have 10 cats, they will know what to do in cold situations, but I understand helping them out!
