About Benji

Benji is a charming five-year-old male Persian with a striking black and white tuxedo coat. He’s been through a lot and feels fantastic after a trim that helped him shed his previous mats. Up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped, he’s completely ready for a new home. This sweet boy loves being around people but maintains an independent streak. He enjoys gentle pets and is playfully engaged, especially with wand toys, though he’s not demanding. His fondness for wet food shines, but he eats both dry and wet options. As a typical Persian, he requires daily face wipe-downs due to his flat face, and he actually enjoys this routine, making the daily clean-up a bonding experience. Benji is adaptable with proper introductions and would likely coexist well with another cat. He has met a calm older dog and showed curiosity without fear, suggesting he could fit into a home with a laid-back canine companion. However, he would thrive in a quieter environment, ideally with kids aged 12 and older, as younger ones might be too overwhelming for him. Adoption fee is $300, and he’s currently located in Kenosha, WI. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
