Hi I'm Ben! I'm a big sweet boy who likes to purr and get lots of attention and affection. I'm very tolerant of being picked up and carried around over your shoulder or being cradled like a baby. I love food and chasing string toys! I'm bonded to my brother, Toby, and we need to go home together. I like belly rubs, shoulder climbing, silvervine (but not cat nip), cat tunnels, chewing and scratching cardboard, bird watching. When I was younger I had a surgery to remove a piece of a foam sandal I ate. I need to be watched for chewing/eating things like foam, plastic bags, string, and feathers. My foster clicker trained me to redirect my chewing to a silvervine stick when I'm trying to get attention. I've had some crystals in my urine so I need to eat a prescription food for urinary health for life like Hills C/D. I'm in a foster home so if you would like to meet me please fill out an adoption application at www.animalaidpdx.org. My estimated birthdate is 5/1/2023.
