Likely, one needs a lot of time, patience and loving devotion to turn this Bengal around. She has been abused fur 2 years, and likely distrusts human beings.!!! Need to spend every single spare hour and minute with her to earn her trust. Could take years to totally socialize her.
Don't despair, took me 4 years to socialize my F3 Savannah boy, but it was well worth it. He still has some disorders, but, he is the furst cat that greets me when I come home from work. He is my Buddy Boy!!!
Check out the links that Deb supplied, a lot of workable suggestions and techniques can be found there.!! Best of luck, and don't lose sight of the objective.
If all else fails, and you find yourself at wits end and saying "what the frak was I thinking???" let us know, and am positive you'll find someone here that would be willing to take on the task. One would be me.!!
