Don’t let his name fool you—this handsome 9-month-old teenager is as mischievous as he is sweet. Cutie Pie is a goofy, high-energy cat who lives life at full speed. He loves to wrestle, chase toys, and keep you laughing with his over-the-top antics. He’s playful, silly, and endlessly entertaining—but definitely not calm.
Cutie Pie has been returned previously for behavior challenges, and we want to be upfront: he is a CRAZY teen cat. He chews, plays rough, knocks things over, and has absolutely no fear. He’ll run into walls, launch himself off furniture, and jump before he thinks—classic adolescent energy turned all the way up.
He needs a home that understands young cats and can provide lots of interactive play and enrichment. He would do best with another playful, confident cat to help burn off energy. Medically, his front leg injury has healed but should be monitored as he grows, and one discolored tooth may need dental care in the future.
Cutie Pie is not a good fit for first-time cat owners or anyone looking for a calm, low-maintenance pet. If you’re ready for zoomies, chaos, and a fearless little personality, Cutie Pie might be your guy.

BENCHS also offers a Food Share Program to help families keep their pets in their homes if they are going through a temporary hardship.
