Benny and Lily

A little about Benny + Lily:

• 6-year-old bonded littermates, born January 2020
• Must remain together
• Indoor-only and litter trained
• Both healthy and recently examined by their veterinarian on 8/10/26
• Up to date on vaccines, including rabies
• Microchipped
• FIV negative
• Recent fecal/parasite testing negative
• Original adoption paperwork available
• Complete recent veterinary records available
• Currently eating normally and using their litter boxes normally
• Both affectionate, sweet, and comfortable in a home environment

Benny is a big, affectionate teddy bear with a laid-back personality. He loves lounging on the couch, attention, belly rubs, and being near his people. He’s playful and curious but also very happy just relaxing and cuddling.

Lily can initially be more timid, but once she feels safe, she is incredibly sweet and affectionate. She loves being petted, purrs quickly, and will curl up on your lap for a nap once she’s comfortable.

They’ve been doing very well while staying with me and have settled into their temporary environment beautifully. Based on their personalities and history, we believe their best fit would be a calm home with no other cats or dogs and either no children or older children. They’re perfectly fine alone during the workday but really enjoy companionship and affection when their people are home.
