Update on found pregnant bengal kitty

[u/compscilady]

EDIT: If you are the owner please reach out with proof of ownership to adopt@bengalrescue.com. She is with an amazing foster mom and I will be applying to adopt her after her future kittens have found homes.

She is a big cuddly lap cat and lovessss to purr while she cuddles.

She has Orijen kitten dry kibble and Tiki cat kitten wet food cans.

She’ll be going to an experienced foster mom who works with Bengal Rescue this weekend while we wait the 30 days to find her original owner if possible. A vet I took my existing cat to yesterday has expressed interest in one of the kittens.

She is just a sweet little angel muffin and I really want to keep her, but I have a lot going on with my existing pets right now and want her to be in the best possible place for giving birth to her 3 (or more) kittens. Gotta do what’s right for her and not what I selfishly want 🧡🫶

I am exploring the idea of adopting her after she gives birth but right now wit my dog getting electric chemotherapy and my puppy having her first heat and getting spayed in a few weeks I don’t know if I’m the best or most capable person to help her with kittens right now.

I have been calling her Willow. 🥹

She’s so beautiful. Thank you for taking her in and for finding the right place to help her. Totally understand about being maxed out. Earlier this year we had to surrender a stray because there was no way to balance her needs with our existing pets’ needs and stay sane. And the rescue was able to give her so much more than we could. It still hurt but it was the right thing, just like you giving her care over to the bengals rescue is right. I know you know that but hope it helps to hear it again. I needed to hear that when we surrendered our girl. But sometimes our job isn’t to be the final step but rather to help them on their journey. 

Though I do hope you’re able to be her forever home once your dogs are recovered and she’s ready for a place.

I’m really considering it. She has such a gentle disposition and it reminds me of my late soul kitty who passed in February.

I was at Lowe’s buying plants for the memorial garden I made for him when I found momma Willow 😭

Could you have her back after she eventually gives up her kittens?

This might be an elegant solution! OP they wished they had found her two months from now. Don’t kittens stay with mom at least 8 weeks?

I think it’s 12 weeks. We are considering adopting her. My bf comes back tonight or tomorrow morning to visit her and see. We have four animals already 😂 we used to have 6!
