That is so sad. If she was used for breeding it had to be a backyard breeder or a kitten mill. I don't think a reputable breeder would've placed her in a pet home without being spayed.

She is a Bengal from the photo - looks like a poor quality one. Would agree she's probably from a byb. We had a Bengal on CL in Minnesota - I contacted 2 Bengal breeders locally - one was supposed to try and get the cat from the person and rehome it.

Maybe you can do a little research in Oregon of legit Bengal breeders and let them know of this girl.

Or see if you can pick her up yourself and take her to a Bengal Rescue?

She desperately needs to be spayed. She'll otherwise be snapped up by a byb. She looks like a Bengal, just a pet quality one that shouldn't be bred from.

Poor girl. Is there anyway you could take her and either hand her in to a bengal rescue or get her spayed and foster while finding a home for her? It shouldn't take too long, people are usually keen on getting purebred cats without having to pay full price for them.

I would love to take her but I cannot have her where I live. I am over my limit with two. I have emailed a total of 7 breeders/rescue organizations in Oregon, am working on Washington now. Joined a Bengal message board and posted about her.

Not sure if any of this will help. Just breaks my heart to see a sweetheart used for breeding with no respect to quality of life. That photo makes me cry.

Oh and I don't know how to tell a reputable breeder. Hope I didn't email one of those!

You are doing a great job. Now we just need some vibes and luck and hope that you get answered and someone can help her.

I understand about being over your limit etc. you're doing all you can for her now and that is fantastic.
