This paper deals with the repulsion chemotaxis system $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} u_t=\Delta u +\nabla \cdot (f(u)\nabla v), & x\in\Omega, \ t>0, \\ v_t=\Delta v +u-v, & x\in\Omega, \ t>0, \end{array} \right. $$ under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded convex domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\ge 3$, where $f(u)$ is the density-dependent chemotactic sensitivity function satisfying $$ f \in C^2([0, \infty)),      f(0)=0, 0 < f(u) \le K(u+1)^{\alpha}          for     all     u > 0 $$ with some $K>0$ and $\alpha>0$.
    It is proved that under the assumptions that $0\not\equiv u_0\in C^0(\bar{\Omega})$ and $v_0\in C^1(\bar{\Omega})$ are nonnegative and that $\alpha<\frac{4}{n+2}$, the classical solutions to the above system are uniformly-in-time bounded. Moreover, it is shown that for any given $(u_0, v_0)$, the corresponding solution $(u, v)$ converges to $(\bar{u}_0, \bar{u}_0)$ as time goes to infinity, where $\bar{u}_0 :=\frac{1}{\Omega} f_{\Omega} u_0$.
Keywords: repulsion, Chemotaxis, nonlinear sensitivity, stabilization., boundedness.
