There is absolutely no way to tell based upon those photos. Thank you for adopting rescues and not "purebred" cats! It does sound like $$$ is priority for the person, but as I don't know her, I don't want to be judgmental. Can he go and spend time with this kitten before making his decision? As you say personality is his consideration, I would think he would only adopt if he can do so.
Based upon everything you've posted so far, I think you're right and would probably do the same because of his stated preferences. The little girl will hopefully find a loving permanent home. The woman's comments are extremely confusing to me, and I can't help thinking that if she was on the up-and-up, they wouldn't be. For anyone planning on adopting a lifelong companion to love and cherish, of COURSE they would want to be able to spend time with them to get to know them. I've almost always adopted from "the street" so that hasn't been possible, and when I adopt, it's for life, no matter what. But of course, given more options, someone like your uncle should be able to spend some time with a kitten to get to know him or her.
Same here -- one cat adopted from local shelter, one from a rescuer friend of mine, and the rest all "stray" except for two whose former caregivers needed to rehome them for different reasons. One of those was Sammi, our Mainey man, also found as a tiny kitten by his first caregivers, an elderly couple, in BEVERLY HILLS, of all places (yes, these situations even occur there, sadly!).I have a fluffy (I think mainecoon as hes near 20 pounds and has a beautiful fluff) lovely boy thats about 4 years old now. He was found on the side of the road and was barely able to eat on his own. And the newest edition wandered up to my husband at work and was about 8 weeks old at the time. She followed him around crying all day so he brought her home. We dont buy cats on the norm, we just end up with them. haha. We have a stray that lives at our house but is too fearful to come near humans so we feed him. The only cat that Ive ever "paid" for was from a shelter and that was his fee for neuter and vaccines. So I am clueless to the whole hunt for a specific breed. Thank you for the help.
B Beaep , if you would like to look into Bengal breeders, Jungletrax is very reputable, having bred both the best Bengal and best Bengal kitten in TICA during the 2015-2016 show season. I'll attach a link to their website: Jungletrax Bengal Cats
And THiS granddad was rosetted bengal - possibly the more rare spotted bengal - if so, it could be even dear daddy.
A lot of interesting ideas/suggestions there. I guess the question for them will always be "Who's your daddy?"Ha, the little one is a part bengal himher too, I reckon. The classical taby pattern here is slighltly unusual. The usual bulls eye is distorted. The coloring is odd too. May it be a tortie? blue and creme? Anyways, there is someting unusual here going on, and thus, my guess is heshe too has a bengal in the background. Granddad perhaps.
Granddad was thus a marbled bengal.
The bigger is spotted tabby, and fully possible has a granddad him too.
Two sweeties!
Diva is the small one and Maximus is the bigger one. The vet at the shelter loved her, saying how she hasn't seen anything like it.

That coloration is sometimes referred to as "torbie" or "calaby" (tortoiseshell + tabby, or calico +tabby). Not breeds, but describing the color and pattern. Whatever the case, both of these kittens are very beautiful!
A very cute little guy, to be sure!This is my Bengal baby
Purebred trim colour rosettes
I adore him to pieces.
Thank you for letting me be a part of this thread!A very cute little guy, to be sure!
I have nothing to do with that, being just another member here at TCS. But thank YOU for letting all of us see your adorable boy!
I look forward to seeing more of everyone's cats!!! I LOVE!!!! Cats
Well, you're in excellent company, because here at The CAT Site, we're all kind of partial to them, too
