Right, I have a friend who would consider looking after this boy (on an indoor only basis) IF I can secure funding for supplies. (Food, litter etc.) She'd love to take him on properly but is worried they don't have enough money to do so.

Basically, if anyone's prepared to help let me know. Also, any advice on specific dietary requirements for Bengals would be appreciated.

Still working on the paperwork.

I'm "not allowed" to talk to the breeder directly, but if this continues I'll be pushing to do so.

He did seem sad the day I saw him, yes.

I'm not sure of the rescue name, Dawn. Kelly Joy put me in touch with them.

I Will put him back up on the news then hun.

I feel for this poor lad stuck where he is caged. He must be soo depressed

is bengal rescue back up and running? it closed for a while

Sadly, Pauline is unable to help after all. Her isolation set up, although in place, isn't ideal for Navejo. Any help would be appreciated.

Have contacted Bengal Rescue for a relinquishment form but have had no response.....

Ah great

Wonderful Pauline at Thorneywood is going to look after him. He really deserves some love in his life instead of being used and discarded

Thanks so much Pauline

Would love to hear how he gets on and when he is out of his current situation

Tan this is posted on CC by Kelly-Joy

Found a rescue placement for him with Pauline at THORNEYWOOD CAT RESCUE so hopefully it won't be long before he is in rescue and then goes on to find a loving forever home

eta: once I get confirmation he's in rescue will move so fingers crossed xx

How's it going with Navero hun?

Poor boy - he looks a super Bengal boy - You know me and Bengalies cant get enough of them - Keep us posted. sending loads of vibes to him xxxxxxx

Gail, I don't think you'll need a fee. And yes, I'm waiting for a letter stating the woman is relinquishing ownership of Navejo before Bengal Rescue can take him.

Hopefully that won't be too long.

Thanks for thinking of him - I'm pretty worried as he's "served his purpose" now.

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #11 on:** September 14, 2010, 13:21:06 PM »

Have you tried the Bengal rescue - OK we might have to buy him form the breeder (doubt they will let him go free) then get him to Bengal rescue, where they can assess him and put him up for adoption, they will only let him go to an experienced bengal person.
Worth a try -

operation Navejo. I will put toward the donation if we get one together.

It's a long story, Lottie. I'll PM the situation later.

And yes, it's terribly sad.

Oh the poor boy

How the hell does the breeder not know how old he is?!

So so sad he is aggressive towards other cats and animals. I just cannot understand how some people can treat their animals in a way that causes them to be like this.

If the breeder is a registered one I'd be letting the relevent registering body (ie GCCF/FIFe/TICA) know so they can start disiplinary proceedings against him/her.

I really hope he finds a wonderful home soon with people who deserve him.

JS: I'd be interested to know a bit more about his background too.

Poor Boy - it is just happening far too often. Our Bengal breeder rehomes studs after about 2 years but they are all loving and affectionate and most of the time are fine with other cats.

I will ask around for this boy in the "Bengal world"

Thanks hun I hope he can find a loving home as he sooo deserves

Tan · « **Reply #6 on:** September 12, 2010, 12:23:19 PM »

Yes please hun. Would like to know a bit more about him. Is his background bad then hun?

He looks so forlorn

JackSpratt · « **Reply #5 on:** September 11, 2010, 18:52:32 PM »

Seriously needs to be with NO other cats and indoor only. Cannot stipulate enough how important that is.

Tan, it's very long and complicated. I can PM you if you want.

Very sad, poor lad

Poor darlin Navejo. Got rid of after he has been used

Breaks my heart.

Is he in a safe place hun at the mo or still at the breeder?

JackSpratt · « **Reply #1 on:** September 11, 2010, 11:00:22 AM »

Navejo is an ex breeding male who has no interest in breeding any more. I would estimate between 4 - 8 years of age, as it's difficult to tell due to the state of his fur. (Long story, but one we all know. Breeders more motivated by money than care for the breed.)

He is NOT suited to living with other cats or animals as he's been a breeder for his entire life and is aggressive towards other cats. With this in mind, it is essential a new home keeps him indoors or cat proofs their outdoor area. Even after neutering, it's felt he'd still be massively territorial.

Navejo has a slight limp after catching his leg in a radiator and falling but it seems to cause his no problems.

He is fairly affectionate with people, but I think he needs a little time to get used to cuddles to enjoy them fully.

PLEASE PM me if you can help.
