Benjamin is a shy and reserved Domestic Shorthair who just needs a little extra time to feel safe and confident. Born as a stray in June 2025, the world can feel big to him at first, but with patience and kindness, Benjamin will slowly show his gentle, loving side. He’s the kind of kitten who forms deep bonds once trust is built. Benjamin requires an indoor-only home where he can adjust at his own pace. With proper introductions, he could live happily with other cats, cat-friendly dogs, or children who understand giving him space to blossom. For someone who appreciates a quieter companion, Benjamin will be a very special reward. Benjamin is neutered, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and negative for FIV/FelV. Note: To adopt, you must live within approximately 100 miles of one of our adoption sites (Benld or Springfield IL), and be at least 18 years of age.
