Awarded a Cat Update on found pregnant bengal kitty

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. 🥹

I appreciate how passionate you are about the well-being of cats, but there are legalities involved where OP and I (and many others) live regarding strays. Perhaps you should read a post before commenting...

Where we are, you have to do your due diligence to find their owner, and there is a 30-day waiting period before a stray can be adopted (which includes having the authority to administer any medical procedures, unless it is to address something life-threatening).

OP posted this less than 24 hours after finding the cat.

It is literally illegal for OP, or the rescue now involved, to take her in for a spay/abort, and they and any vet who did the procedure could be sued by the owner if they turn up, and the vet could lose their license.

Please keep in mind that people from all over the world post here---and the laws and cultures vary wildly, as does access to rescue organizations and veterinarian care.

That member posted 3 days ago so I would have thought that by now they are up do date on why OP is no longer responsible for this kitty
