FAQ
Where do the Bengals listed
for adoption come from?
Most Bengals come from owner surrenders and other rescues. Worryingly during the
last 3 years
we have seen more Bengals
coming in who have been dumped and left when people move house. The
only type of listing or rescue we don't accept is those who are not
truly rescue situations (like kittens for sale from a breeder) and
those looking to sell their Bengal, not re-home them. You can make donations to us through PayPal. Simply send your donation to rescue@bengalcatrescue.org.uk
In short, no.
In long, this is for a variety of reasons: you do not buy the cat,
you make a donation to make rescue possible so that there was a cat
for you to consider in the first place. 2. We are not for profit, and privately funded - we make no profit on these rescues. If our wonderful fosters didn't pay for the litter and toys, and weren't patient about being reimbursed for expenses while the cat is in foster care, we would have NO Bengal Cat Rescue. Please be rest assured that your adoption fee will be used for helping more rescue cats, possibly even the one that didn't work out.
3. Refunds for vetting are not
given. Simply put, when you adopt or buy an animal, rescue, breeder
or the farmer's stray kittens, the care and love of that animal
falls on the adopter’s shoulders. Rescues are a risk, living animals
are a risk, and all living things come to cease at some point -
Rescue especially are a risk because they are, essentially, cats
that someone else didn't want. Often times we don't get any
background info, and even when we do, no one can predict a cats
health, not even with a pedigree in hand. We do basic vetting on
each cat, basic vetting only covers a health examination, FELV, FIV
testing, a physical exam and vaccines, worming and alteration if
needed. Additional tests are not done unless the animal comes in and
has a problem warranting such tests. We do routine medical plus
anything that is an issue while in care. Please be educated on
common ailments in felines before adopting, especially a rescue.
Health on a rescue animal can never be guaranteed. In short, if you can’t handle the 1% chance - about 1% of adoptions don't work out - that you might adopt a Bengal, vet it and have it just not work out and can't live with our policies above, then please, please go to your nearest reputable breeder who offers a health warranty - a breeder is the only place you can buy a cat with a health warranty that will give you recourse if the cat should not make it - the only recourse we offer is trying another cat, providing the reason you returned the cat was not due to it being a Bengal - i.e. jumping, meowing, not lap sitting,...things that are Bengal behaviours.
