About Benny

Benny is a striking cat who was rescued from living on the streets near an auto repair shop. After spending years outdoors, he’s developed some scars—check out those ears! Despite his rough past, he has a loving spirit and would thrive best in a home with another feline companion, as he absolutely adores other cats. It's important to note that Benny does not get along with dogs, so a quiet environment would be ideal for him. At about 5-6 years old, Benny is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He has tested negative for feline leukemia but is FIV positive. Don't let that worry you; many cats with FIV live long, happy lives, and Benny is no exception! He is also house trained and gets along well with children. To meet Benny, complete an adoption application through our rescue. Click apply to start the adoption process.
