About Bennie

Bennie is a 2-year old spayed adorable gray (Russian blue?) girl and a social butterfly. She’s full of life and LOVES to play. She would love to go home with Bell (they get along great in same foster home!) or to a home with other cats looking for a playmate. She would benefit from a lot of space to run and play. She is also extremely sweet and friendly with people, especially the ones taking care of her! She will be grateful forever if you welcome her into your home and life!

About Russian Blue Cats

Adopting a Russian Blue means gaining a loyal, sensitive companion who may be shy at first but blossoms into an affectionate, playful friend. They thrive in calm, stable environments and are wonderful for families and individuals who appreciate a gentle, low-key cat with a depth of devotion.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

Labs have a double coat that handles NYC winters well, but road salt irritates paw pads. Use paw wax or booties on salted sidewalks. Labs still need daily exercise even in snow, so bundle up for Central Park outings.

Spring

42°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Spring shedding is intense for Labrador Retrievers. Brush daily to manage the coat blowout. Central Park and Prospect Park are perfect for the high-energy exercise Labs need this time of year.

Summer

68°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

Labs love water but NYC heat and humidity cause overheating during exercise. Walk early morning or evening and avoid hot pavement. Carry water on every outing since Labs push through fatigue without slowing down.

Fall

48°F to 65°F

Sep – Nov

Ideal weather for Labrador Retrievers in NYC. Their coat starts thickening for winter. Perfect conditions for long walks along the Hudson River Greenway or runs through Riverside Park.
