Happily Rehomed - Many thanks to all those who responded.
Update: Thankfully Esme has now found the perfect home and perfect owner. Many thanks indeed to all of those who contacted me. A heartbreaking decision but due to a change in my circumstances I have no choice but to put my own feelings aside and rehome my 5 year old pedigree bengal Esmeralda for her own happiness and wellbeing. She came to me aged 2 years, vaccinated, spayed and with her pedigree certificate. I have since taken her to an annual health with my veterinary practice and she has never had any health problems during the 3 years she's been in my care. She has been regularly flea treated. I have not kept up her vaccinations, as she has lived indoors and not had any contact with other animals or cause to stay in a cattery. Esme has a sweet, gentle and loving temperament. As with most Bengals she is very attentive and affectionate, loving nothing more than a warm lap, strokes and cuddles. She is initially shy and a tad cautious with those unknown to her, however, she very quickly gains in confidence. Esme is a very easygoing cat, with no bad habits or antisocial behaviours. She is untested around dogs and ideally I think she would enjoy being the only adult cat in the household. She has always lived as an indoor cat and has been contented, but I'm very sure given the chance she would also enjoy access to a garden, provided it was situated far from a main road. She always uses a litter tray and is impeccably housetrained, it has been a great relief to me that she has left all my soft furnishings intact. Esme comes with her pedigree certificate, 2 beds, a blanket, a scratching post, assorted toys, litter tray/scoops, cat carrier and whatever food/litter I have in stock on her departure. Read More
