BENGAL CAT, BURLINGTON, ON. Looking to adopt

[Britt Desnoyers]

I recently came in the possesion of a Bengal cat that was a stray around my home. It was just taken away to the humaine society since someone was looking for her.

These last few days I've felt empty and can't sleep at night due to the empty bed. She definatly left an imprint in my life.

I would like to find a Bengal to adopt, i would choose no other cat. They are Loyal and lovable, trainable and a good choice if you can't have a dog.

I need to fill this empty space and get over the loss of this other cat.

If you know of any places around Burlington/hamilton area where these Bengals could be found, please...let me know

Britt,a former neighbor of mine bought a Bengal kitten from a breeder for $3.000,a lot of money for a cat,or a dog for that matter.
There are many beautiful,lovable cats in shelters,waiting to get a home,why don't you check it out.

First, let me say thanks for helping out the kitty that you found. As for adopting a Bengal, I must point out that cats are all individuals, and the characteristics that you fell in love with in that stray cat may not necessarily be the same in another Bengal. I've met many a non-Bengal that were very loyal, lovable and trainable (my own DSH tabby, for starters), so if you can't specifically find a Bengal, how about opening your heart and home to another poor soul that needs love? Rescued cats in particular can be very loyal, since they know what a life without love has been like and they don't want to go back to it.

Having said all that, I do recall hearing about a hoarding situation in September in the Oakville area that involved some 50+ Bengal cats. The Oakville Humane Society was desperately looking for foster homes and/or adopters at the time. I have no idea what the situation is currently but here is their website: http://www.oakvillehumane.ca/home.html If you scroll down to the bottom, there's some info on the rescue.

I've just checked out the site and I'm going to call them tomorrow. My mom agrees that we should check them out. I am not ruleing out other cats..but I just seem to keep coming back to this kind. Bengal, bengal, bengal....thats all I can think.

I hope they at least still have some

Britt,

These Bengals cats came from a horrific environment. These cats are extremely scared and very untrusting of humans. They are slowly learning to trust humans and learning what love and affection is. They are not as of right now lovey dovey. They prefer to hide right now and are afriad of any kind touch.

Just don't want you to get your hopes up.

I am sorry to hear you lost the kitty, I know you were getting very attached to it. You did the right thing. There will be another kitty that will come along and steal your heart too.

Have you gone on petfinder to do a search for bengals up for adoption? When they do, they go very quickly as they do make wonderful pets.

There is one at the Mississauga HS:

Hi Britt - there is a Bengal X named Sydney at the Burlington Humane Society - 905-637-7325 - call them to see if she is still there and available for adoption. I share my space with two cats, and I know what the "empty space" thing is that you mention. Good luck! I happen to know that she is super sweet, a lap cat, and carries on conversations! I don't think we humans possess animals, but she sure is adoptable! :}
