Ben A269646

My foster family says: "Ben is the sweetest, most devoted little companion who will happily follow you around like your very own cat-sized shadow, always ready to keep you company! He's affectionate, chatty and endlessly curious, with a playful spirit and a bright, inquisitive personality. Ben has so much love to give and will form a deep, loyal bond with whoever brings him into their world!"

The staff at the OHS call me a Poet! Did you know that Poets thrive in calm, stable environments? When things are a little too new and different, these kitties have a hard time showing their true personalities. Because Poets find change so hard, they usually like lots of safe places to hide and high perches to rest on. While each Poet is a little different, things that usually bring them out of their shell include playing with their favourite toys, eating some of their favourite treats, and seeking attention from their favourite people. During periods of change, Poets need a safe refuge where they be surrounded by these favourite things.

Poets can have different preferences, and it might take a little while to figure them out. Some Poets prefer play interactions where they can stalk and hunt in a fun game with you, while others may enjoy curling in your lap for a cozy snooze.  While you may not see a lot of them at first, they'll be thinking of you... and after they settle in, you'll think they've always belonged!

Special considerations:

• I was treated for a bacterial infection that causes anemia while at the OHS. My blood work is now back to normal and I am ready to find my new home.
• I have excessive inflammation of my gums, possibly due to feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS). I will require regular veterinary check-ups to monitor this condition. It is possible I will require ongoing veterinary dental care under anesthesia to manage my condition.
• I am on a prescription diet of Hill's Science Diet W/D.

I am currently relaxing in a foster home as I wait for my forever family. Please contact an adoptions staff to book an appointment to meet me!
