One small Lebanese stray launched a worldwide search for help and hope … and this fall, he’s the “poster cat” for a special matching donation challenge.
With a moonlike face and a heart of gold, “Benny” was the sweetest street cat on either side of the Atlantic. But the 2020 Beirut blast left him with severe injuries to his hind end, and nowhere to turn. Kind rescuers scooped him up but lacked the resources to heal his hurting little body.
It would take a global search to find a sanctuary willing to say “yes” to Benny. But fortunately for the little white cat, Tabby’s Place is known as a refuge for cats with nowhere else to turn. As a haven for cats from hopeless situations, Tabby’s Place lives to love cats like Benny. And so, the sweetest stray in the world made a lifesaving, 6,000-mile journey into the arms of love.
Benny received intensive care at a world-class specialty hospital, including surgeries, frequent bandage changes over the course of many months, and blood transfusions.
The price to save Benny’s life was high. But Tabby’s Place is devoted to cats in the most desperate circumstances. Once a cat comes to the sanctuary, he receives the promise: you will get everything you need to thrive, whatever the cost...and all the love we have to give.
Tabby’s Place created the Linda Fund to provide life-saving treatment for cats like Benny. This special reserve provides world-class emergency and specialty care for sick and injured cats, right in their hour of need. And, this fall, donations to the Linda Fund will be doubled.
