LANTANA, Fla. -- An F1 bengal cat is on the loose in Lantana, according to the founder of Spots and Stripes Bengal Cat Rescue.

Rescue officials tell CBS 12 the animal went missing from the cat's foster home in Lantana, right behind Lantana Middle School.

As an F1 bengal, she is almost 50 percent asian leopard cat, which is a wild cat. The cat weighs 10 pounds, but she is not friendly with most people yet. As such, rescue officials say should someone approach her wrong she could bite or scratch. Her teeth and claws are very sharp, and the more stress she is under, the higher the chances of becoming aggressive.

The cat's name is Cinderella and she is four-years-old. She is not wearing a collar nor is she micro-chipped. If you see the cat call your local police department or rescue officials, 561-541-1467.

Reunited with the family tonight. They were trying to catch her...we captured her tonight right after sunset. The owner is working tonight, but I sent her a ton of pics.

It's a Bengal/Snow Leopard. Pretty much exactly what it is.

i like how your title makes it look like you're some kind of bad ass for catching a house cat.

Bad ass? Dude WTF is your malfunction. They have been looking for this cat since the 18th. Catching a true feral is a lot different than a house cat.

That's no house cat. Well, it is, but it probably shouldn't be. That thing will claw the shit out of you without warning.

 

[alkemyst]

They own a rescue that re-homes those exotics that were let go or not wanted.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Good job, this makes up for half the latest trolling.

 

[erikistired]

it's still a house cat. it's not like he fought a real leopard.

 

[alkemyst]

Umadbro?

 

[rcpratt]

Hahah...

 

[erikistired]

Umadbro?

the mark of a winner.

 

[RossMAN]

So you stole the cat then rescued it? I kid

 

[postmortemIA]

[halik]

Doesn't that describe about 80% of the housecats in the world?

 

[Blueoak]

The asian leopard wildcat and domestic cats have to be bred for 4 generations (F1, F2, F3, F4) before the resulting bengal cats are considered to be as domestic as typical housecats.

 

[BladeVenom]

Nice looking cat.

 

[Zebo]

No good deed goes unpunished. LOL.

 

[chuckywang]

LOL, this thread is funny. First of all, I applaud alkemyst for doing a good deed. That shouldn't be ignored.

However, ericistired's pics had me LOLing.

 

[Gooberlx2]

You gonna keep her?

Not many F1 owners outside of breeders. Could be a $10,000 cat right there. Good on ya, OP.
