My story

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

Boo-Boo is a handsome boy with a big personality and he’s not shy about showing it. He knows what (and who) he likes, and he’s not afraid to set boundaries. When Boo-Boo trusts someone, he can be sweet and even affectionate in his own way. But when he’s uncomfortable or doesn’t like a situation, he makes it very clear.

Boo-Boo can be unpredictable at times and has a bite history (one bite while in our care), so he’ll need someone who really understands cat behavior and is confident reading feline body language. He’s not a cat for beginners, he needs a person who respects his space and doesn’t take it personally when he’s in one of his moods.

He’ll do best in a quiet, adult-only home with no children and no other pets. Boo-Boo doesn’t handle chaos well and likes to have control over his environment. Once he decides you’re “his person,” though, he can form a strong bond and show his softer side...on his terms.

Boo-Boo isn’t for everyone, but for the right person, someone patient, experienced, and understanding, he could be an incredible companion with a lot of personality and spirit.

More about this shelter

BENCHS was established in 1969 in Mankato, MN.
We serve Southern MN to help with owner surrenders, stray and unclaimed animals at local impounds.
BENCHS also offers a Food Share Program to help families keep their pets in their homes if they are going through a temporary hardship. As long as we have available donated food, we can have these families come in 2x a month. We may require animals be on a plan to be spay/neutered to receive this help.
