I'm getting ready to list my tabby boys and put them up for adoption. One of the woman I am fostering with advised me to list them as Bengal mixes to get a lot of hits.
Now here is my problem, there isn't an ounce of bengal in these kittens. They are very much Classic Brown Tabbies and they don't act in any way bengal-ish.
I have seen bengals that look a little classic tabbies, but I know that is not what people normally think of them as looking like either.
I can see the logistics of listing DSH's under different breeds to get more hits, and because sometimes the genuinely do look like a breed cat, even if they aren't very likely to have any pure blood in them.
But I've also myself seen plenty of dogs/cats listed under headings that they don't suit at all. And then it's like, Who are we kidding?
What do other people think? Should I list them as bengal mixes for the hits? Or go with my gut?
I'm new to this aspect of fostering, so let me know what you think.
