Bengal Rescue

TIBBA Inc., is a legitimate 501c3 non-profit, membership owned organization.  In keeping with their goals to promote, preserve and protect all generations of Bengal cats, TIBBA's Executive Board set up a Bengal Rescue Committee and a Designated Bengal Rescue Fund.  This designated fund was established to assure that 100% of these funds will be used for Bengal cat rescue efforts.

Many TIBBA members are personally, actively rescuing displaced Bengal cats, as well as finding new suitable homes for them.  TIBBA's Designated Rescue Funds are disbursed with Board approval, for necessary health care, basic supply needs, adoption fees, and transportation expenses, when necessary as long as funds are available.  TIBBA Inc. has also donated funds to legitimate 501c3 feline no kill sanctuaries.

The term "Bengal cat" refers to pedigreed Bengal cats and Bengal cat mixes.  We encourage you to make tax deductible donations to this very worthy cause to help save Bengal cats from possible euthanasia. Please send your Tax deductible donation to:

Tax deductible donations can also be sent through https://www.paypal.com to tibba@tibba.8k.com.  Please keep in mind that Paypal charges fees for credit card and debit card payments which will be deducted from any donations.

Please note:  Not all Bengal Rescue or Bengal cat organizations soliciting funds are legitimate organizations.  This means they can not legally solicit and receive tax deductible donations, nor have any oversight to assure the funds will all be used for what they were intended.  In order to assure your generous donations are tax deductible and legally managed, please ensure you are donating to an IRS approved 501c3 organization like TIBBA Inc..  All 501c3 non-profit and all not-for-profit organizations MUST by law provide a copy of their "Determination Letter" of tax status from the Internal Revenue Service whenever requested.

TIBBA encourages it members to be actively involved in any and all domestic cat registries, (such as TICA,  AACE, ACF, ACFA, CCA, FIFE, GCCF, NZCF, QICC, and UFO) and all legislative issues that have the potential to effect Bengal cats.
