Last night, I received information on 2 cats in another state that greatly disturbed me. I have been debating on if I was going to say something or keep quiet but I feel this is something ALL owners need to be aware of/think of. We know there are times when pets cannot be kept. Whatever the reason, it doesnt matter. If you own a breed like a Bengal or Savannah that derives from a wild ancestor you need to make sure you contact the cats breeder first if he/she came from a breeder Another choice is to contact breed specific rescue for your cat, we can help you find a knowledgeable home if you choose to rehome yourself. Dont let the situation described below happen to you. A Bengal & a Savannah were rehomed to a vet. The Savannah was scared & bit the vet, so he was euthanized. The Bengal was then surrendered to a rescue that is biased on Bengals & that rescue in turn is sending him to sanctuary for big cats, where he will spend the remaining of his days being used as a poster boy for anti Bengal ownership. Great life for a formerly spoiled boy, right? Before surrendering any cat to ANY organization, make sure you know where they will send the cat if they feel he is aggressive or unrehomeable. Make sure you know where the cat will end up. I can tell you who we turn to - Avalo Cat Sanctuary, the ONLY Sanctuary of its kind we support. We dont know the vets name who surrendered the Bengal & killed the SV, but if we find out, I will share. This is obviously not a vet that a Bengal, Savannah or Chausie should be visiting. I can guarantee a domestic shorthair would not have been euthanized for biting out of fear. Were not naming the rescue because it is unimportant. Any support of Bengals shown on their page will just be deleted & you banned anyways. The important part is to know this type of situation is preventable with some due diligence on your part.
