I just found on on Facebook that there is a Bengal sitting in the high kill shelter back home! I am driving back home tonight and am more than willing to help transport him to a rescue or foster home! We cannot take on 3 cats or I would be all over this!
I will be driving from Johnson City, TN to Knoxville, TN tomorrow. If anyone is interested please shoot me a PM ASAP!
Heres from the facebook site:
Bengal Rescue Network This is what was reported to me. I can call later today, since it is 7:08AM in the morning here in Texas. Here is what has been posted on him:
I visited Kramer today and he was very clean (including inside his ears) indicating he has probably been indoor only. He is a healthy sized male.
He uses his litter box with no problems noted.
He is laid back, sweet, likes to have his back scratched and kneads/makes biscuits with his paws.
He was an only cat so it is unknown how he would act towards other animals.
The shelter has him listed as 'not good with children' because the previous owner that surrendered him said he did not get along with their grandchild. After seeing Kramer in the stressful environment at the shelter, I'd say the child must have really aggravated him (pulling tail? or rough handling?) to get this guy to be aggressive. He is laid back and calm.
He let me hold him but was concerned/worried about the other cats in their cages around us, but he did not hiss or 'freak out'. He just got to the point to where he just wanted back in his cage so he didn't have to see them. He likes the security of his cage, but that is to be expected of a cat that has recently arrived at a shelter.
I got him to play in his cage after covering him up with his blanket and running my fingers over it. Other than that he just wanted to be pet on/scratched the whole time.
The only abnormal thing I saw on him was a small round spot in his right eye...between the pupil and the bridge of his nose. It does not seem to affect him in any way. I contacted the vet that saw him for the last 2 years and they said there was nothing in his medical history of any concern...just normal stuff like shots, boarding, etc. So maybe the spot is nothing to worry about or maybe is has shown up since his last trip to vet last Sept. Either way, the spot is small and does not seem to bother him at all. You can see it in his pictures if you look closely.
