My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*** Benji & Gabby are in a foster home. ***

Benji #19681: black & white tuxedo, short hair, neutered male, born 3/24/25
Gabby #19854: black/orange tortoiseshell, medium hair, sp. female, born approx. 4/12/25

Cats: **BONDED PAIR**
Dogs: good
Children: elementary+

BACKGROUND: Benji was only a few hours old when a person found him and promptly took him to a vet; when the finder refused to try to reunite Benji with the mother cat, the vet contacted The Rescue House and he moved to a neonate-capable foster. Gabby was found by a realtor on a property she was working on and joined Benji as his foster sister.

PERSONALITY: Benji and Gabby love to play and love to cuddle and purr in your lap! They bat little springs all over the place, carry their toys around, send their trackball spinning, and view life as a game. They go a mile a minute as they chase each other around sounding like adorable feline elephants. They’re easy to pick up and carry and are all-around sweethearts.
---Benji is particularly fond of licking your skin and can sometimes take that into love nibbles, but he distracts easily enough. He focuses on you come play-time, too, sneakily pouncing at your leg as you walk by… surprise!
---Gabby’s fur is silky-soft. She is particularly fond of their water fountain and can often be found playing in the water, so it’s a good idea to have a mat underneath to catch the spills.
---Benji and Gabby MUST be adopted together.

COMPATIBILITY: Benji and Gabby are a package deal, good with other cats, and have fostered comfortably with a small senior Chihuahua. Gabby prefers to avoid younger children so we recommend a home with calm and respectful kids elementary aged and up.

Will Benji and Gabby bring their joy to your heart and home?
