Benny aka Baby (bonded with Samba) - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Vaughan, Ontario

***Benny is a rare, devoted papa to all his kittens, but has a special bond with his baby girl, Samba. The two are almost inseparable, and must continue their journey forward together.

Meet Baby aka Benny, a sweet, slightly shy, solid grey cat who might act a little bashful at first, but is a total sweetheart once he opens up. He is vying for the Best Dad of the Year award, as he is the ultimate "girl dad," obsessed with playing with his kittens — especially his adorable baby daughter, Samba.

When it comes to dinner time, this quirky guy has some strict rules: wet food is an absolute dealbreaker, and like a tiny royal king, he demands his dry kibble be served exclusively on a flat surface. Benny is such a sweetheart, it's easy to indulge his peculiar wants.

When he isn't parenting or eating, you can find him hunting for toys, exploring every nook and cranny, or staring out the window watching "nature TV" for hours. Other than the mealtime idiosyncrasies, he is a low-maintenance, easygoing guy just needing some time to get comfortable and settled.

Benny would be very pleased if he and Samba can go home together, so he can proudly retain his merit badge of Best Dad Ever. As long as he has Samba to lavish his paternal affection on, and people willing to give him the time and space to be his best self, Benny is content.
