I'm forced to bring this case to public attention again.
Perhaps placing this post in the Hall of Shame will attract the attention of a wider crowd.
This woman is back on the prowl and no other rescuer @ fosterer @ adoptable cat should fall victim to another one of her scams.
Back in 2010, carrying the nickname "Eqin", this woman adopted two of my tabby kittens.
Right the next day, she attempted to SELL both of them on Mudah.my, as "Bengal Mix" kittens.
She also did the same to a couple of other cats she adopted from PetFinder.
The entire story is read-able at the link below (posted by me).
We eventually caught her, exposed her on MalaysiaKini, and got my kittens back:

All it took for me was to check her Facebook photos, to recognize her face.
What amuses me is the fact that SHE does not remember who I AM.
She wants to adopt Itsy Paws from me:

But of course, a bengal mix, tempting target!

Rescuers...please do not rush into getting your cats adopted, especially on a first come first serve basis.
Take some time to talk to potential adopters, ask about their experience with cats, etc, get a good understanding of their background first. My best wishes go to everyone seeking to safely and permanently re-home their cats here.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
