A FB friend rescued this cat who had given birth in their window well. Turns out she was a Bengal purchased by neighbors a couple of streets away for breeding (BYB)... the cat ran away... and the family didn't really even bother to really look for her. She managed to survive the winter ... hung out in these nice people's backyard with their dogs! They couldn't catch her though; she was just terrified!

She gave birth in June, 2010, and the K family took in her and her newborns.

This story touched me on so many levels and just confirms how I feel about backyard breeders who have NO clue about anything. The cat- the K's named her Lucy - was probably a product of BYB herself...

She had been declawed by her owners, but unspayed b/c they had hoped to profit from her. To my untrained eye, she is not even a good "type"....But is a lovely cat!


Anyway - here is the sweet video the husband put together.... Lucy and her babies are all doing fine... the K's are keeping all SIX!! Yikes!

Yes ... the kits are now 6 mos... and FUULLLLL of energy!!! I can PM you the FB page.. I didn't think it was right of me to name them here, w/o their permission, etc.

Here is one of their blogs - cats and dogs and turkey day... not all the cats pictured are the MamaBengal and babies. Yes, these nice folks have other cats, too.

How sweet. I hate people who don't care about cats and just want to make money. Glad Lucy and her babies found their forever home.

What a beautiful story! So glad Lucy found loving people and has a forever home. I'm sure their house is FULL of fun and chaos with all those babies running around!!
