About Ben

Ben and Jerry are a pair of bonded brothers about 10 weeks old, each with a strong spirit shaped by a tough start. Orphaned when their mother was killed at only four weeks, they stuck together through it all. Ben is the black and white long-haired kitten who can't resist a good cuddle on the couch or snuggling up in bed after a burst of play. Next to him, Jerry, the short-haired tabby with white socks, is the more adventurous sibling—always looking for excitement, quick to chase a toy, and happiest when he's busy running and wrestling. These two rely on each other for comfort and play, so they need to be adopted together. Watching them race around the room, tag-teaming toys and keeping each other entertained, makes it clear why two kittens are better than one. They are set to go home starting June 9th, each neutered, microchipped, tested, vaccinated, and reliably using their litterbox. The adoption fee for both is $80. They get along with cats, dogs, and children and will settle in easily with a loving family ready for double the fun. Your new best friend is just one click away.
