Some cats survive by hiding.
Benjamin survived by loving.
When we found him, he was living in a warehouse after being dumped — thin to the point of being skeletal, but still weaving between workers’ legs, purring, begging to be picked up, begging for someone to notice him. Even in the middle of chaos, he chose people. He chose love.
Benjamin is a big, fluffy orange Maine C**n mix with the heart of a kitten and the courage of a lion. He’ll follow you from room to room, flop into your lap, rub his giant head against your chest, and purr like he’s been waiting his whole life for you to sit down. He’s goofy, cuddly, expressive, and absolutely convinced that humans were put on this earth to adore him.With a slow introduction and the right match, he can absolutely have feline friends. Dogs are unknown, but people? People are his whole world.
But Benjamin has one challenge standing between him and the forever home he deserves.
Benjamin has severe hyperthyroidism — and the only true cure is I‑131 radioactive iodine treatment.
He’s young — only 3–4 years old — but his thyroid is working overtime, burning through calories faster than he can eat them. Medication helps, but it’s not a cure. It only slows the disease while the thyroid continues to grow and overproduce. I-131 is the gold standard. It targets and destroys the overactive part of the thyroid and, in most cases, cures the disease permanently. No more pills twice a day. No more slow decline. No more fighting a losing battle.
Just a healthy, happy, adoptable cat with a long life ahead of him.
Benjamin is ready.
The only barrier is the cost: $1,900.
We are asking for help — sponsors, donors, fosters, adopters. Anyone who believes Benjamin deserves his chance.
This treatment will change everything for him. It will give him the future he was denied when he was dumped in that warehouse. If you can donate, foster, share, or help in any way, you will be part of the reason this big orange boy finally gets the life he was meant to live.
