I am so very glad everything is working out with sweet Miley girl, and hopefully she will be all healed up soon. :)
I am so relieved to hear that everything went well with Miley. It sounds like things are starting to settle down some in your home and more so, once Ti is re-homed.
Won't be long before you can sweep all of this under the rug.
SAS, I have been busy with the BBQ and saved this thread until I could take the time to read all of the posts.
Your emotions just scream from the posts and my heart goes out to you.
Seeing Miley's tubes brought back immediate memories of Rascal and his last great adventure out of doors. He ended up with the same tubes and all of the medications that needed to be administered AND the vet bill to go with it. It just killed me to see him like that and he now is strictly an INDOOR cat.
It is now pointless to look backwards and think, could have, should have, might have, wish I did!
You are absolutely doing the right thing now and especially working with the good breeder. It sounds as though Ti should be in a one cat household, spoiled rotten.
In a short time all of this will be resolved and you can take Miley around the house and show her that Ti is truly gone.
I wish you great success and also give you a giant hug for your concern and love for Ti, Miley and little Juni Rose.
I'm so happy Miley is bouncing back so well. She sure has been through a lot, and it's good to hear she's starting to enjoy herself again. And it's good to hear she gets along so well with Juni. Kind of shows that she can get along with others - if they want to get along with her.
And SAS, you sound so much better too. More happiness in the tone of your posts. Good to hear. :)
It warms up my heart to hear Miley is eating and playing. What a tough little girl. I was somehow afraid she could have a serious depression and it's relieving to hear it was a physical wound. With the healing of that wound her little heart will heal too.
As to Ti -I am sure he lives well on the porch too. He is loved and cared for and can play -and I wish him all the best:)
It is great to hear that Miley is on the mend!! And that little Juni and her are getting along well. I am sure Miley is feeling happy to be home with her mom and sister again. I too agree, i am sure Ti is fine on the porch and probably enjoys it...i am sure most cats would love to have a screened in porch to live in...i know as soon as my two realize the screen door is open they come running to breath in that fresh air, and watch the birdies. No worries, Ti is fine and i am sure he has no idea that he is seperated for any particular reason. It is wonderful how far you go for your animals...
I am sure Ti will find a great home...i never thought Gabe would, (and that anyone would put up with his antics, for that matter...but i was wrong!!)
Let us know what you hear from the nice breeder.

SAS, I have been following the Miley/Juni stories from the beginning and I think you have done every possible thing to make it work, but once the extent of Mileys injuries came to light it had to be the beginning of end of Ti`s time with you, no other option.
It has been so hard for you all. For you, trying every way you could think of to make it work. For poor sweet Miley being scared and hurt, and now for poor Ti too. I say poor Ti, for, because of the irresponsibility of that breeder, has to leave probably the only real care, love, and comfort he has known.
Brighter days are ahead though, in fact they look to have already begun. Miley is recovering well from her injuries and looks to be enjoying Juni`s company. Ti has all he needs and is happy out there on the porch and soon will have that new forever home to suit his special needs.
I think Gini hit the nail on the head when she wrote...
You have gone that extra mile, more than once!:) I admire you so much!Quote:

Thank you for all of your kind words and suggestions to relax a bit about the why's and why not's. I will. Maybe a beer or a glass of wine tonight.
Miley has been so clingy these past couple of days. She is a survior, for sure!
I will call Tamara tonight, if she doesn't call me by 8PM. She has my number at work too! She sounded so sincere about getting back to me by no later than Tuesday. Since she is doing me (and Ti) a huge favor by getting involved, I surely hate to make her feel guilty about not getting back to me.
Vermontcat is making lots of efforts locally, to see if there are some folks currently owning Bengals, who might want Ti!
Thanks again. I hope to take some photos tonight and if I do, I will post them.
Love to all,
SAS
Sas, yes I have found that in Vermont, Bengal cats and Bengal owners are a rather rare breed!:)
I really hope that Tamara can help you and soon!
I would love to see some new happy cat photos especially of Juni to see how big she is getting.:)
I have just now taken an hour to eat my lunch and catch up on this thread. I've read it from start to finish including the one where Miley was injured.
Firstly, I just want to say I'm sorry for not replying sooner to offer words of encouragement. In a situation like this you need all the help you can get.
Secondly, I was a bit disappointed to see that there was a wee bit of conflict coming from NotSoFluffy. I know that he/she did not mean to cause any harm but I think the last thing you needed to hear at that time was "next time go to a shelter?" I really enjoy reading the views of others and I think it should be encouraged, but it just goes to show you that any thread in this forum can invite words that can be taken the wrong way. Anyway, that's done and it's water under the bridge. Time to move on.
Thirdly, I wish I possessed the art of comforting words like the others. It seems that anything I say now will have been said before. I pray that you find some peace at your house and that Ti baby will find the appropriate home.
You did all you could, in fact, I would have given up long ago. You are a truly amazing hoooman being and I know alot of us can take a few lessons from this "episode". Life is a learning experience and if we stop learning from each other, what's the point.
So with that being said, I look forward to reading further happy updates. Hugs from me to all of you.
SAS, in the beginning I was hoping that things would work out between Ti and Miley, especially since Ti and Juni got along so well.
For Miley's sake I'm so glad you decided to re-home Ti.
Poor baby deserves to live a stress free live. I was horrified reading about her injury.
A few mos. ago I went to a similar experience after adopting a Puppy who was terrorizing my cats.It was heartbreaking to see my cats so unhappy and stressed out. I felt so guilty about taking the dog back to the rescue organization, but relieved that she was adopted the very next day.
I wish you the best of luck finding a new home for Ti.
He is so very handsome and I'm sure he will find a good home.
Give Miley girl some hugs and kisses from me. I'm so glad she is feeling much better already.
Well, tonight when I arrived home from work there was a message on my answering machine from the nice breeder, Tamara. She said she had make two unsuccessful phone calls and didn't sound nearly as serious as she did the other night about taking on Ti and his responsibility.
Vermontcat was so very nice to spend hours looking for web sites and names etc. for me. I have filled out a form to begin to look for a home for him via the Bengal Rescue out of New Hampshire.
I sent in his photos and a brief description of Ti and his basic problem. My fingers are crossed. Having never done this before, it will be interesting to see how it works and works out!
Tamara begged me to keep Ti and give him another chance. I am going to re-home him for sure! I will keep my appointment with the behaviorist. Why? Well, I owe it to the next person to know more about his problem. That will be my last gift to him before he goes, I hope.
Well, I must go tend to Ms. Miley.
Thank you so much Zoe aka Vermontcat, for going that extra 10,000 miles for Ti and me.
L,
SAS
SAS this will have a happy ending, I am positive about that, just keep believing in that.
It is obviously not going to be as easy as all that to re-home Ti, but hey hang on in there, you have come this far, I know you will find the right home for him soon, have faith SAS.
Someone special is waiting for Ti to be their furever furbaby, I just feel it in my bones. Take care and wishing you all the best.
Sas, I really hope that this website can help you.

I actually just spent a couple of hours reading their Bengal message board and I have learned a lot about Bengals.
The people on the message board sound really nice and a lot of them think that Bengals do well with other Bengals
or sturdy cats like Maine Coons.(cats that can handle rough play)
I am sorry that Tamara could not help you more, there really don't seem to be many Bengal owners in Vermont.
You're very welcome Sallyanne.
Since it is summer and it has been rainy I have had more free time to find some help for you.
You can repay me by posting new photos of your cats.;)
Oh cool! I just saw Ti on the adoptees page! Good work Sas!
I am sure the Bengal owners will fall in love with him!:)
That is so kind of you!!! I'm sure Ti and his new people will benefit greatly. :)Quote:
