Meet Benjamin, the adorable and shy Domestic Shorthair who’s looking for his forever home! 🐾 This little guy was born into the big, bustling world as a stray in June 2025, and let’s be honest - it can be quite overwhelming! 🌍 But fear not! With a sprinkle of patience and a whole lot of kindness, Benjamin will gradually reveal his gentle and affectionate nature. Imagine falling in love with a kitten who takes his time to warm up, forming deep connections once trust is established. 💖 He’s not just looking for any home; he needs a cozy indoor haven where he can feel safe and adjust at his own pace. And the good news? With the right introductions, Benjamin can happily coexist with other feline friends, dog-friendly dogs, or even children who respect his need for space. 🏠 So if you’re someone who values the beauty of a quieter companion, Benjamin offers the sweet, fulfilling reward of companionship that some may never experience. Plus, he’s all set and ready to go - neutered, vaccinated (including rabies), microchipped, wormed, and he’s negative for FIV/FelV! 🐱✨ But remember, to make Benjamin a part of your life, you need to live within approximately 100 miles of one of the adoption sites (Benld or Springfield IL), and be at least 18 years old. Don’t you want to be his hero? You can bookmark this sweet boy in the Buddy App and *apply through the Buddy App* to adopt him today! Let’s give him the loving home he deserves! 💖
