Benny's young owner sadly passed away suddenly. The owner's boyfriend needed to surrender Benny and that is how he came into the care of PAWS the day after Christmas 2023.

Benny was introduced into one of our cage rooms after intake and medical exam. Due to the nature of his bleeding ulcerated toe mass, he was not introduced into a open , community cat room but into a large indoor catio-style cage to allow exercise and a watchful eye from the staff.

Benny enjoys his food, all types and flavors. He meows for attention when he knows the volunteer staff and volunteers are nearby. He is described as friendly and sweetest cat who definitely enjoys brushing.

The first days of arrival, it was noted that he seemed blind and one of his back paws was bleeding. It was suspected an ulcerated toe mass.
