Usually, severely sick shelter cats and kittens are put on euthanasia lists. However, this kitten was incredibly lucky.
Despite being scheduled for euthanasia, he defied all odds, thanks to a compassionate man who turned his life around.
The kitten, later named Benjamin, was very young and severely ill when he arrived at the shelter. He struggled to maintain his body temperature, and no one believed he would survive.
However, just a couple of hours before euthanasia, a great cat rescue organization called Stray Cat Alliance from Los Angeles stepped in and took Benjamin under their care.
Believing he had a chance to recover, they immediately provided him with professional medical attention. As they shared updates about Benjamin’s recovery journey, something special happened.
A compassionate man named Cameron heard Benjamin’s story and instantly fell in love with the tiny, furry kitten.
From that moment on, Cameron was determined to adopt him and give him the best life possible. After a rough start, Benjamin finally had a new chance for a better life. Cameron shared in an interview:
“We don’t really know where he came from. I believe someone just saw him in some bushes and picked him up and took him to the shelter.”
What won Cameron’s heart the most was Benjamin’s personality. Despite having breathing difficulties and other health issues, Benjamin never stopped showing his big personality.
Even as a sick kitten, he was playful and lovely, constantly seeking attention and cuddles. He just wanted a home filled with joy and love.
Once Benjamin arrived at his new home with Cameron, he instantly blossomed. He became a healthy and happy cat, ready to thrive in his life.
Benjamin followed Cameron everywhere, so he decided to buy him a harness and was surprised by how quickly Benjamin adapted. From the very first time, Benjamin knew exactly what to do and safely followed his favorite human everywhere.
However, not only did Cameron change Benjamin’s life for the better, but Benjamin also inspired Cameron to do great things.
After adopting Benjamin, Cameron decided to start fostering for Stray Cat Alliance rescue as a way of showing gratitude for their help.
Cameron turned out to be the perfect foster dad, but the more involved he became, the more he wanted to do. Eventually, he started volunteering at the rescue, which led him to open his own small rescue called Butterscotch Castle.
Benjamin is now the boss of the house, always looking out for the rescue cats, especially the younger ones.
Cameron says that Benjamin holds a special place in his heart. Although he knows their time together won’t last forever, he chooses to cherish every moment they have.
