A Plea to Help Me Find a Forever Home for Miles the Amazing Bengal!

Meet Miles, the gorgeous 1 1/2 to 2 year old male Bengal kitty. He is a stunningly gorgeous cat with amazing markings, and an even more beautiful disposition. My beloved sister, who is one of the most nurturing and kind-hearted people on the planet, found him living in the bushes at a gas station right off of a freeway off-ramp in Los Angeles. She began feeding him, and then was able to coax him into her car and bring him home. She had him neutered and fully vetted (he's healthy and has no diseases, afflictions, or health issues of any kind).

He is the most affectionate and loving cat that I have ever met, and more than anything he loves the company of humans. He does not, however, care for the company of other cats or dogs, and needs to be in a loving environment where he is the only pet. He is an indoor only cat, and needs to remain as such. My niece, shown above with Miles, is madly in love with her kitty and wants him to find a loving home. She and my sister can't keep him because they have other cats and dogs, and are at capacity.

Miles is now living in a foster home, but this is a very short-lived situation. My sister reached out to every Bengal rescue organization that she could find, and they were all over capacity and therefore unable to help. I reached out to the rescue organization from which I adopted Maximus, Jasper, and Oliver- and they have been unable to help place this delightful cat because they are already maxed out.

If you know of anyone who would love to give this amazing creature his forever home- I implore you to reach out to them. My sister and niece love Miles, but simply cannot keep him. We would have happily taken him ourselves because he is such a special cat, but as you already know- we already have a formidable feline and canine menagerie.

 Miles is a civilized young man, and is therefore potty trained. 

He wants nothing more than the company of a human or humans who will love him and give him a forever home. What you will get in return is the unconditional love of an exceptional kitty who will enrich your life in a multitude of ways.

Once his tenure in his foster home comes to a close he will have nowhere to go, therefore we are looking with great urgency for your help in finding this lovely boy a home.

If you, or anyone you know, is interested in Miles- please either comment below or send me an email. xoxox >^..^<

The First Pet Store 100% Dedicated to Animals at LA’s City Shelters!

 

The lovely Jen Mathews from My Beauty Bunny gave me permission to republish her fantastic post in an effort to help give support to a Los Angeles-based pet store 100% dedicated to animals at Los Angeles City Shelters. 

In just the first  few months since its grand opening on January 21, 2012 (and including a pop up adoption drive over the holidays), Friends of L.A. Animal Shelters has celebrated 200 adoptions – and counting–  at its new pet store, L.A. Love & Leashes, the first pet store dedicated to benefiting the animals at L.A.’s 6 city animal shelters.

L.A. Love & Leashes is a great place to find a new family member, a sweet treat for a furry friend, or an opportunity to give and get a little love from the amazing dogs and cats from our city shelters that we are privileged to have with us daily at the store.  Donations and merchandise proceeds support the store and help keep this high traffic adoption venue open to benefit animals waiting for homes in Los Angeles Animal Services shelters.

L.A. Love & Leashes offers a humane alternative to traditional pet stores that buy and sell companion animals for profit.  Adoptable dogs and cats are transported daily to L.A. Love & Leashes from our city shelters.  The store also offers a range of animal-related retail items, with the dual aim of creating a true alternative, humane pet store model and offsetting the costs of the store.
About L.A. Love & Leashes:  Adopt. Shop. Love. L.A. Love & Leashes is a pet store with a twist (all dogs and cats are from our city shelters) formed by Friends of L.A. Animal Shelters, a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping L.A.’s city animal shelters.
Store Location and Hours: L.A. Love & Leashes is located in the Westside Pavilion on the 1st Floor (between Nordstrom and Macy’s), 10800 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90064; 310-441-1150. see a map Hours: 11am-7pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday; 11am-6pm Sunday; Closed Tuesdays.
