About Benjamin

Meet Benjamin! Benjamin was rescued after suffering severe injuries from an animal attack. Thankfully, he’s healed from his surgery and is ready for his forever home. With his unique appearance—a crooked lower jaw and a snaggletooth—Benjamin may not be your typical cat, but his quirky personality is impossible to overlook. This playful lap cat loves to pounce on anything that moves and can often be found spreading his toys around the room. While he enjoys being held, he initially needs some time to trust you first. Benjamin is quite vocal, so you can expect plenty of chatty moments with him. He gets along well with other cats and would thrive with a younger, easy-going playmate. Although he’s a bit shy around newcomers, he quickly warms up to those who give him the time he needs. Benjamin is an adult male, neutered, and up to date with his vaccinations. He’s tested negative for Feline Leukemia and is FIV positive; however, with his friendly disposition and lack of functional canines, he poses no threat to other cats.
