About Benita

Benita is a small, spunky kitten who’s been through more than most cats her age. She came into rescue with intestinal parasites and nerve damage in her back legs, but antibiotics and sheer determination helped her regain her mobility. Now, she’s a whirlwind of activity, pouncing on shoelaces, food, or anything she figures could be turned into a toy. Her endless kitten energy might make you laugh, and when she’s finally tired out, she melts into a little puddle of purrs and affection. She’s cuddly and sweet, but it’s always on her own terms. Benita gets along well with other cats and loves gentle kids, making her a strong option for a lively, affectionate household. Her huge heart and quick recovery speak to just how resilient she is—she’ll need humans who appreciate her journey and can keep up with her playful streak. She’s got striking eyes and an unbreakable will. If you’re the kind of person who wants a cat with a zest for life who’s also game for a cuddle, Benita could be the one you’re waiting for.
