About Benjamin

Benjamin and his sister Bella are a remarkable bonded pair: two long-haired domestic cats, about two years old, who have been inseparable since birth. Coming from a busy home with both a dog and six children, they’ve seen a lot and handle the chaos of active households with poise. Benjamin is described as the belly rub champion—he’s likely to roll over and present his soft belly, hoping you’ll indulge him. He’s the blue-gray brother with gentle green eyes—a total lovebug. Since being surrendered, both have blossomed in their foster home, showing incredible adaptability. Benjamin and Bella follow their humans everywhere, trailing after you like small, fluffy shadows who want to be wherever you are, whether it’s getting ready for the day or winding down at night. They’re social, curious, and enjoy interactive play with catnip toys, plastic springs, and chasing laser pointers. Both are seasoned users of scratching posts and have impeccable litter box manners. Benjamin thrives on a diet of Purina ONE High Protein Healthy Weight Chicken dry food. Besides their beauty and manners, Benjamin stands out for his affectionate, “puppy dog” personality. He’s great with children and dogs, making him a match for all types of homes. Benjamin and Bella must be adopted together—their bond is the foundation of their security and happiness.
