A local kitty took the internet by storm in November, after the heartwarming story of ‘the saddest cat on the Internet’ finding his forever home went viral.
New West residents Sandy Windover and Adam Tutt posted before and after photos of Benjamin Button (aka BenBen) on Reddit, showing the progress he’d made after being taken to an animal hospital suffering from puncture wounds, a damaged ear and a crushed spine. The photos soon garnered the local kitty a whole lot of fans.
By December, he had more than 47,000 followers on Instagram (@benbencatcat). BenBen’s owners are using his new-found fame to raise money for less fortunate animals and to encourage people to “adopt don’t shop” for new kitties.
