Benvolio is an 18-year-old Domestic Longhair cat in Derry, NH, who needs $2,000 for surgery to repair a broken leg.

My then-girlfriend got him for me before our marriage because my other cat was not long for this world. I named him "Benevolent" at first, because I felt he would be a good thing for me, but then decidedon Benvolio. He was our cat through our entire five year marriage. He's lived in five places! My mother took care of him for four years when I couldn't have pets at my apartment. When his leg was first broken even my ex-wife was concerned for him, and I realized how many lives he has touched. My children are always eager to see him whenever they visit.
