I also rescue, and it is terribly upseting to me when people breed cats. There are already too many homeless cats and kittens out there! My heart aches for that poor Bengal male who spends his life in a cage just so his owner can make money from him. I hope he is neutered and allowed to live his life as it should be lived. As for the FelV female Bengal. Please have her spayed and let her be adopted by someone who will be happy to have her as a pet and won't give a damn about making money from her!!
