Hello, we are Meg and Mobis. We are littermates, and are looking forward to going to a home where we can stay together.
Both of us have kind and gentle personalities. We might not always be desperate to stay in your lap, but we like being in your presence, and don't mind pets. Mobis in particular really loves his cheek rubs! We haven't lived with other cats recently, but we didn't mind the large dog at our last home. Both of us are currently embarking on a weight-loss journey, so we are looking for a home that is willing to help us with that, and just generally be our emotional support human who will give us a wonderful home. Think that could be you? Come meet us!

More about this shelter
BENCHS was established in 1969 in Mankato, MN.
We serve city limits stray/unclaimed cats/dogs and personal owner surrenders.
We also work with Blue Earth county and other areas in MInnesota, including some Native American reservations when we are able to.
We have also developed relationships with several groups in Texas, Oklahoma, Florida and North Carolina to help the areas reduce their strays.
BENCHS often help other areas that have experienced natural disasters by taking in some of the animals located in those areas.
We have a heartworm positive dog program which enables us to help dogs who elsewhere would be put down.
