    OK - not sure if you have Goddards (vets) near by?

    The ones near me (all branches here in fact) will take cats in and the Cat Protection collects them from the vets to rehome.

    CP would not take cats from individual people but takes them from the vets - no idea why but this is what I know happens around East London.

    As above, stay clear of Gumtree, you just never ever know, I would try my best to get the kitty rehomed via a rescue place rather than privately ...

    Fingers crossed she ends up in a lovely home....

    I hope so, just been told she can't stay so we're trying ot look at all avenues of what to do. I know there's a rehoming place nearby..it's just killing me to do it.

    What did you have paper thin walls? Yes Bengals can be loud but shutting windows and doors will stop the noise from travelling to the neighbours. And neighbours complaining to your landlord I'd tell them where to stick it it's just a cat. Get more toys keep 'em occupied.

    Get two Bengal cats and see if you can keep the noise down. I didn't mind the noise, the noisier the better but you cannot keep windows shut. Even if I didn't let them outside in their cat run the Bengals could clearly be heard with windows open. You cannot keep Bengals quiet with toys. They are very vocal cats but I have a few grumpy neighbours. Some loved hearing them. When you live in social housing or private housing you cannot tell neighbours to stick it because it is not your home.

    Op please don't advertise her on Gumtree. You get scammers on their and get people looking for "free" pets for dog baiting and training dogs to fight.

    comments like "i'd move to keep my pets" is not always possible.

    Well my comment was, as you rightly quoted, "I would move first" - that is giving an opinion, voicing what I would do, not telling the OP to do it themselves.
