About Benji

Benji is a striking black and white tuxedo cat with a playful streak. At about a year and a half old, he’s already shown he’s a sweet, affectionate companion who adores spending time with other cats—playing, napping, or just lounging while gazing at birds outside. Benji is fully vetted, neutered, and house trained, so he’s ready for home life right away. This boy thrives in a feline-friendly environment, but he’s uncomfortable around dogs and would do best in a home without them. Since he hasn’t lived with young children, it’s best for kids in the home to be over 10. Benji is hoping for a calm space where he can stretch out, make friends with fellow kitties, and bring some fun and gentle mischief to his people. He’s waiting for a soft landing—maybe that’s with you? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
