I am so pleased that this had a happy ending, and what a nice man to take Leo to the vets. there are still good people out there.

glad to hear they are all back home

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes, I was beging to give up hope of ever seeing Leo again. My grand-daughter who Leo belongs to is over the moon. I have attached a pic of them both. Why 'Rain Drops' felt he/she should reply ''Shame he wasn't found and neutered'' whats wrong with some people this is suppose to be a forum for pet lovers. If 'Rain Drops' had followed this post he would know that Leo is neutered, chipped and an indoor cat.

An update that Shirley has posted on CC earlier this evening:
Do you remember the 4 Bengals stolen from their pens in the garden on 23rd APRIL? 3 of them were found in not the best condition, but the last one, Leo, turned up YESTERDAY!!!! Unbelieveable!!!

He was behind a butchers in Much Wenlock and the butcher took him to the vets as he thought he looked like the missing one! (He gave him some cake and cream (!) to catch him and closed the shop to take him to the vets!! What a lovely man!) He's a little plump so someone's had him but what a fantastic ending!

Chip had moved to the side of his neck!

The owners must be delighted - well done that man

3 out of the 4 were found - Leo the neutered marbles boy is still misssing

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #27 on:** June 30, 2011, 12:45:14 PM »

I hope where ever he is - if he found wandering someone will take him to the vets - and they put 2 & 2 together and he gets back to where he belongs. I would die of a broken heart if he was mine - sending homing vibes.

Two of these kitties are now back ..... just seen this on our work intranet site:

Our Generation Springwatch campaign highlights the abundance and diversity of wildlife living on and around our power stations.

It’s not unusual for our colleagues working the late shift to see the odd fox or two wondering about but imagine the surprise of Graham Cooper, a Scaffolder with one of our contract partners at Ironbridge Power Station when he spotted an unusual looking, but clearly injured cat on the station's grounds.
Graham immediately contacted the local vet and took the stray feline in for emergency treatment. With its distinctive features the nurse instantly recognised it as one of the stolen cats that had been reported missing weeks earlier in the Wolverhampton area.

It turns out that the kitty was one of four award winning rare Bengal cats worth around £4,000 who were stolen from their home in Wolverhampton. The Ironbridge cat was the second one to be found and the good news is that it’s been reunited with its relived owner. It’s suspected that the cats were dumped and the other two could be roaming about the Much Wenlock area.

The Ironbridge team are hoping for a happy ending where all four cats are returned home safe to their owner. They were thankful they were able to lend a hand in the rescue this beautiful creature and prevent the situation becoming a ‘catastrophe’!

so perhaps you should do some research before you slang me off.

I'm not , I just have a personal dislike of people who breed as I am a rescue.
I am also aware that there are "good" breeders and bad breeders.

I think its a shame, when the cat market is saturated, that more are being born when rescues are struggling to find homes.

Pawsforthought · « **Reply #24 on:** May 23, 2011, 16:24:05 PM »

Hope the 4th. cat turns up soon.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #23 on:** May 23, 2011, 16:03:41 PM »

chrisjay it maybe that you should get all your cats chipped, I know its policy of the Birman Cat Club.

Dawn F · « **Reply #22 on:** May 23, 2011, 16:02:29 PM »

I do hope the last one is found soon - it must be awful wondering where he is

sheryl · « **Reply #21 on:** May 23, 2011, 16:01:08 PM »

Hi Michelle - I cant tell you how glad I am that 3 of your babies are home and I hope that BA is continuing to improve and am keeping everything crossed that Leo is home soon - Take care xxx

chrisjay · « **Reply #20 on:** May 23, 2011, 15:35:43 PM »

Just been reading what was said about my cats, thanks for all your support. I do think I need to clarify a couple of points to Angie in particular, I have bred Bengals for 12 years I sell all my kittens on contact kittens must be neutered or spayed at 6mths and also the kitten/cat cannot be given away or re-homed but must come back to me. I care were my kittens end up and take them back at any age. The stud boys that were stolen were an Imperial Grand Champion that I bred and a Champion boy that I bought in at 13 weeks my cats are much loved. Unfortunately for the breed the back street breeder have arrived in force you only have to look at internet sites to see this, selling kittens at 8 weeks without vaccinations etc, I breed and show that is my hobby and do not take my duty of care to the kittens I breed lightly, so perhaps you should do some research before you slang me off.

2 of them are stud boys Angie with excellent pedigrees and bloodlines and I feel so sad for the Breeder

I stand by what I said. Once breeds start hitting rescues and breeders don't help then they become a rescue problem. If the bengal club rescue mopped then up it would be a different matter.

Sorry, I'm anal when it comes to breeding (not talking about personal preferences here

)

shame they were stolen.
I hope they have been neutered though and not used for breeding- there are enough bengals out there in unsuitable homes that are ending up in rescues with behavioural problems.

Dawn F · « **Reply #14 on:** May 06, 2011, 08:58:34 AM »

these cats have made the bbc website, although they are being reported as being worth a lot of money which I'm not sure will help

Send anything that might help Hun xxx

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #12 on:** April 29, 2011, 15:40:31 PM »

ive just emailed and had a response from the owner, I told him about the bengal being offered by the " rescue" so he wanted to look at the add for it, Do you want me to still send you the details hun? I came back on here to say id contacted him and then saw this

Im really hoping it is one of the cats at least and someone knows where the others are.

These are the 4 missing bengals ... they are listed on the NPR ....

If you let me have details of the rescue offering the male bengal I can send a note to the owner via the NPR website.

that dodgy smallandfurrys "rescue" was offering one male bengal earlier... I say dodgy as they take in cats and kittens that are free to good home and then sell them on for profit, they dont neuter, worm or flea them etc and tend to advertise them as soon as they get them.

Sheryl - do you have the owners details? I'm sure 'thekittensmittens' is in the West Midlands area so defo worth looking into...

The 2 that were not neutered is because they are Stud boys

Stolen from outside pens-2 belong to her granddaughter who has gone away for a few days. Owner went out at 7am yesterday morning and a neighbour noticed the gate open at 8am-the gate has 3 bolts and 2 padlocks!

No 1: Snow spotted neutered male, 12 years old, chipped

No. 2: Brown marble neutered male 7 years old, not chipped

No. 3: Brown Rosetted entire, 2 years old, not chipped

None of these cats have ever been allowed out so are not streetwise.
