He was just one of many cats abandoned on the street. But fate had played badly on him.

Be condition worsened from day to day. The animal shelter had given up all hope of the hangover and wanted to put him to sleep.
But a real miracle was to happen. Then just a day before that date, a couple showed up at the shelter and fell in love with BenBen at first sight.

After just an hour he couldn’t get enough of being cuddled and purred like crazy.

From the formerly emaciated and sick cat, who could hardly walk, is now become a little fur pug – and he and his family couldn’t be happier!
The moral of this story: Every animal has the right to be treated with love and respect by us.
And: Just because all hope seems to be lost doesn’t mean that Love and belief in improvement cannot actually move mountains and save lives.
