Benito Domestic Short Hair North Kingstown, RI

It’s so hard for me to write this because I’m scared and afraid and that makes me unhappy and sad . Hi, my name is Benito. I am a handsome black male about one year old, and I had a challenging life so far which has made me a little skittish and untrusting. The cage made that worse. So now these nice people at the shelter moved me to a big kennel that I share with a buddy, and I have an outside catio- and I’m so much happier. Now I take tube treats right from peoples hands and then they were able to finally pat me at that time. It felt so good. I want to love and be loved , so they are working hard with me, to make me feel safe and loved. so now I’m not as scared as I was. Plus I LOVE tube squeeze tube treats, so that will definitely make me want to be your friend! I want to trust and I want to open up- I’m just afraid I’ll have my heart broken again. It’s hard when you’re in your own and I can’t tell you about my past, that makes me like I am now. But I bet if you give me time and love and patience, I can blossom into a great pet and companion. I just need someone to believe in me and give me a chance. My ideal household would be quiet, no kids or other pets, and an owner who gets cats. Someone who can give me time to adjust, on my terms. I was really sweet with my vet tech when I just had my recent neuter procedure. They told me I was very sweet and I really enjoyed being Pet that day because I was scared. Won’t you be that person and give me the chance I long for.

Ok Benito, our turn! He was having a hard time here at the shelter and now that we moved him, he allows us to Pat him now and the key to his heart is squeeze up treats- he loves them!! He needs a patient loving home that he can adjust and blossom in. He was sweet with the vet tech after his neuter, so we know he has it in him to be affectionate. He just needs time: .
