Meet Benjamin

Benjamin is a handsome boy. He loves food and other cats. Climbing high is his cherished activity and a tall tree is a must.
Benjamin is bashful. The way we adopt cats is absolutely against cat nature. Normally the cat would watch you and decide if you're a good fit. And then slowly move in and adopt you LOL!

With us just placing a cat in an unknown situation quite a few cats get super anxious and decide to hide and observe the new place and family from relative safety.

To help the cat accept you and develop a loving bond, you would need to put in some effort, loving care, and patience. We think that Benjamin will adjust in 3 to 6 weeks. You would need to keep it in one small room (preferably your bedroom) and spend time just sitting, talking, or even singing to it.

Is that something you would like to do?
