About Ben STA012850
Meet Ben, a beautifully gentle soul with a heart longing for love. Initially very nervous and timid in new environments and around people he doesn't yet know, Ben is patiently waiting for a compassionate and understanding individual to let him experience the comfort of a loving home. Ben requires someone special, someone ready to show him the safety and warmth he deserves.
This shy but sweet guy reveals his affection gradually, slowly endearing himself to those who've earned his trust. It's in these precious, quiet moments with his chosen human that Ben's true, tender nature shines. A peaceful home with a steady routine, free from the bustle of children or canine companions, would be the ideal setting for Ben to truly flourish.
A journey with Ben may take a little time, but those patient enough to nurture his gentle spirit will find a loving companion who will be forever grateful. This beautiful journey toward love and trust is best taken one careful, considerate step at a time—because with Ben, slow and steady really does win the race. If you have the heart and home to embrace Ben, he is ready to show you the deep bond that can only come from helping a timid soul find his courage.

You can only adopt a cat for yourself we do not allow animals to leave with third parties. If you are wishing to adopt a cat as a present for someone, bring them with you as cats are individuals and bond with different people in different ways, the cat you may choose, may not choose your friend! It is also important to allocate time for adoption and we recommend you allow at least a couple of hours to get to know the cat and do the necessary paperwork.
When you visit you will get to meet the cat and as this is a very important decision for both you and the cat you choose we will want to ensure the two of you are compatible and that you understand what will be involved in taking the cat into your home.
We will want to be satisfied that you are prepared to be a responsible pet owner. Responsible pet owners at the most basic level, have their pets registered, micro-chipped and de-sexed unless they are registered breeders. They also understand the issues involved in being able to properly care and take responsibility for the welfare of their pets. Most Councils in Victoria have limits on the numbers of cats you may own without a permit. It is important to check with your Council if you already own the limit and obtain a permit for the extra cat before adoption. We will require to see your permit.
We will answer any questions you have regarding cat care and help you to obtain any support you may need.
