Those were the days…. now what?

Until a few weeks ago, this was Bentley’s life… sharing an apartment with his people, a cat named Celica and Jackie, a Jack Russell in Vancouver, BC.

Bentley and Jackie came with the Mrs., but when the divorce happened, the Mrs. and the dog moved out and left Bentley behind.

The Mister didn’t like Bentley… maybe because he was the Mrs.’ cat? Who knows, but there are some sad stories of conflict between Bentley and the Mister. Ultimately, Bentley was thrown out to make it on his own.

A kindly neighbor has taken him in, but she has a cat and Bentley picks on her cat.

A little damaged in the area of trust and security, Bentley is still acting out from all the changes he does not understand. He seems to miss his mom and dog terribly. Simply, he misses his old life.

His foster mom spends time with him one-on-one. She reports that Bentley is learning to trust again; that he is calm and patient.

“He loves when I floss my teeth… lol …he goes after the floss to play with it. I brushed him out, he was patient with that and loved being brushed around his neck.”

Do you have room in your heart and your home to help this little man out? Either as a foster or an adoptive family?

Bentley is 5 & a half years old with long black and white hair, a tattoo in his ear and is neutered. This handsome guy has chubby paws and a bend in his tail….don’t know why. He is very affectionate and loving, he craves attention and loves to play — especially with a ball of yarn. He is very smart, adventurous and gorgeous.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Bentley — or if you have some tips for Teresa, his foster mom — email me.

If you are in the Vancouver area and have a cat cage (not a carrier) that you can lend Teresa for the short term, let me know and I will connect you.

And please, SHARE his story. There is someone out there waiting for him.
