My story

Benson is a 14 year old sweetheart who is the epitome of a lap cat. He has a very calm presence, and will start purring as soon as you talk to him. He loves to play, though, and will chase toys and lasers! He needs insulin shots twice daily (this is the 'special needs' part), but it's very easy to learn and he doesn't mind them. He's lived most of his life with someone who recently went to the hospital and needed to give him up. If he's not on your lap, he's probably napping on the couch, or watching birds. He's very good at using the litter box. In his foster home, he settled in right away and was purring within ten minutes. He has kind of a croak instead of a meow, and will gently pat your arm in order to get pets.



Benson formerly lived with an older lab, and enjoyed stealing her bed. His former owner often had grandkids and other more energetic dogs in the house - he would retreat when the whole gang came over. He's never showed aggression, he just prefers a quiet life!
