My story

My Foster Writes: Bendito is a super sweet shorthaired cat. He definitely likes his space, but is all about cuddling up on the couch or coming to say hello for a scratch around the neck. Bendito is curious and likes to jump to high places, so he does need stimulation. But he's easy going and just needs a lot of love.Bendito tolerates attention and petting but was previously fearful or stressed in the shelter. He will likely need time to warm up to his new home. Bendito had a bite/scratch incident with staff during cleaning and feeding time (see potential challenges comments above for more details). Due to the behavior shown, he may not be a great fit for young children. Any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor this cat around their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced. We recommend that he go to a home with some cat experience preferred or at least be well counseled in fearful cat behavior.A volunteer writes: Effervescently trusting with that life of the party energy, Bendito is known to see kindness and hope for the best. You see, snuggly little Bendito was found outside and tried to follow some new friends inside their apartment. Interpreting their care and thoughtfulness as an invitation was the best move because his stunning persistence and good nature has brought him here. When I first met Bendito, he came right to the front like he had something very important to tell me. What were these important things? Pets and headbutts! Bendito is all about them! Settling in for cuddles and snuggles, while also looking out at his neighbors, I felt like Bendito was sharing the friendliest who's who in Adoptions. We don't know much about Bendito's history prior to coming to the Care Center, but he has charmed his new friends and hopes to find his family soon! Primary Color: Gray Tabby Weight: 12.7 Age: 5yrs 0mths 0wks

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Bendito, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
