About Benjamin

Benjamin is a Cream Point Siamese mix with a quiet, reserved side and a gentle nature. He spent his early days in a large cat colony before being rescued and tamed, so he comes with a bit of shyness at first. But give him some time, and Benjamin shows his curiosity—eventually making his way to your lap when he feels safe. Benjamin is very bonded with Pepe, another Siamese mix he grew up with in the colony, so they need to be adopted together. He's remained gentle despite his past, and does well with children and other cats, making him a good fit for a calm household willing to let him settle at his own pace. If you’re looking for a lovely pair, both with beautiful coloring and sweet personalities, Benjamin and Pepe could be your match. Your new best friend is just one click away.
