I apologise if this is in the wrong section. I am concerned about this Bengal. This person is selling her and she is not spayed therefore anyone can buy her for breeding. She does not look like a breeding Bengal. Not for £200.

Sorry to be thick but what does "was proven before we got her" mean? They don't say if she's on the active register or how old she is which rings a few alarm bells. I wonder which breeder she's from originally.

she isn't actually that far from me but I'm going on holiday next week so i just couldn't integrate her with my lot and it isn't fair on them to have a stanger in the spare room with me not around - also I'd feel sick giving this person £200

I'll ask her where she got her from as if I am interested in buying her. Be back in a mo.

Don't know them but they're up north (Rochdale) so the kitten is a long way from the breeder.

The lady on the phone told me she got her from someone else so didn't have a clue about the papers. I told her to look on the pedigree and tell me the name on it d'oh Rolling Eyes

She told me that she bought her to breed with her moggie but she decided on getting her boy neutured instead. She is over 2 years old. She said she has had many phone calls. I pretended that i'll get back in touch with her but I guess she will sell to the first come basis. She is too far for me.

I just know that she will be used to breed from a moggie, i just know it unless one of us can help. All someone has to do is let her out to roam and get caught by the local Tom.

No answer by Galkat either to warn them but they can't really do anything.

This sub-section shouldn't be used for anything except rehoming, it some persuading to get it created after the removal of the kittens/adult for sale section.

It'd be a real shame to lose it.

Any future threads of this nature should be made elsewhere.



Thanks

Just not in this section - here is to be used for genuine rehoming cases only.

Although that said we don't want to flood the other parts of the forum with gumtree ads either, one every now we can live with. Gumtree and the free ads are full of dodgy adverts like this, in most cases it's best not to read too much into them as many scams start life in this form...if we posted every ad that caught our attention when trawling through we'd be inundated before long.

I know some are very sad to read through but posting a link on here won't help matters, if something really grabbed you then maybe taking things further in private would be a more effective solution.

Hope that makes sense. Smile
