Hi!

My name is Benji and i'm around 7 - 8 months old.
both my parents are Bengals but i don't think they
covered the breed standard
I am playful and pull a funny face when i'm stroked on the head.
My carers think its kinda cute. I'm not too keen on other cats
but may tolerate 1 i'm also not keen on dogs. If you would like
more info then please contact my carers at...
admin@the-kats-whiskers.co.uk Thank you.

ps. I am currently with foster carers.

Benji is now settling in with his foster carers (i.e. me and the OH) and is snuffling about the place. =)

I had a friend call me within seconds of me posting on my twitter that I've got a bengal cat up for adoption so fingers and pawsies crossed !!!!!!!!!

Hahaa!! I just asked her if she'd like several more; she's yet to get back to me on that one though.

Right, I'm off to go play with Benji now !!

I am afraid Benji is definitely not a Bengal.
He looks like a mackerel tabby to me.

However if saying he is a Bengal gives him a better chance of finding a new home then so be it.

I noticed that he was not Bengal also.

It may help him find a home faster but then it's taking the risk of him being brought back when the adopters find out he is not Bengal.

Better to be honest in my opinion.

__________________

Luckily his new owners don't care about whether he's a bengal or not. They're adopting him because he's a gorgeous, lovely and friendly little kitty cat. He comes with no paperwork so it's not like he's being touted as a pedigree with false documents or anything like that. The shelter can only know what the previous owner has told them so that's all they can tell anybody else, whch is pretty fair. I'm assuming a serious bengal enthusiast would want to see lineage, documents etc. which he doesn't come with.

If they do bring him back we'll have him without a second thought. We've both completely fallen in love with him. He spent all night on our bed and tried to get INTO the bed with us. It took a bit of effort to remove him from under the duvet to the end of the bed, mostly because the boyfriend didn't want him to be moved. ;p He loves being carried around and was sat on my boyfriend's shoulder last night having a tour of the house !! My friend phoned me within 5 minutes of a pic going on my twitter page and I reckon another 5 and she would have been too late because we'd have realised we wanted him then too. ;p

At the moment he's sat watching my ratties and wondering when his squeaky lunch will be served...

More pics to follow.

It does state in my first post that...

And i wouldn't say a cat is something its not just to get them a new home.

We are also not advertising him as a breeding or stud Bengal.
He is purely for a pet home and has been nutured.
We have given the full story of his background to his foster carer.
And this information will be passed on to new owners.

I got the fact that you are advertising him as a Bengal from the title to your post.
"Benji 7 - 8 month old Bengal needs a new home".
I don't think the majority of Bengal kittens out there are going to be used for breeding either, the difference being that most kittens advertised as such are actually Bengals.

I am so glad he has found a new home and I am genuinely pleased for him and I am very grateful you and others like you have taken the time to get him rehomed
I don't want to start a row, however pedigree breeders do get slightly annoyed when a pedigree tag is added to a rescue cat that in fact looks nothing like the breed.
Some cats fair enough do look like they may have Persian/Siamese/Bengal/Birman etc. in them but others clearly don't.

It is just the assumption that they must have pedigree blood somewhere which is in many cases completely wrong and that pedigree cats are ending up in rescue more frequently than they actually do.
Longhaired = Ragdoll/Maine Coon/NFC/Persian/Birman
Tabby = Bengal
Pointed = Siamese
