Some people have a natural tendency to care for others. These individuals appear to be aware of others’ feelings and needs and will go out of their way to assist whenever possible. In many respects, it is these people’s sacrifices that keep the globe turning.

One of these people is Benny, a rescue cat. His vet tech mom fosters a lot of sick cats and kittens, and he always has a sense of how to comfort and care for them!

Ellen Carozza is a veterinary technician who has rescued hundreds of cats, but one, in particular, caught her eye and she knew she had to adopt him. Benedict Cumbercat, or Benny for short, is his name.

As he’s grown older, Ellen has come to realize that he has a very big heart and loves to look after other cats and kittens in need, much like her own.

He’s developed into a fantastic, compassionate foster father for the many kitten’s Ellen brings home as part of her job!

He has a natural understanding of what the kittens need in terms of love and attention, and he loves his job so much that he becomes depressed when there aren’t any kittens to look after!

Benny’s most important job, however, was with Winifred. The poor creature had been abandoned by her mother and weighed about half of what she should have weighed when Ellen brought her home.

Thankfully, Ellen had the incubator and bottles she need for Winifred’s care, but Benny was her true hidden weapon. She simply knew he’d be able to provide Winifred with the affection she needed to improve her health.

When Benny first encountered Winifred, he instantly knew what to do and took her under his wing, caressing and caring for her.

Winifred ultimately gained weight and was ready to be adopted when she reached a normal, healthy weight. Benny and Winifred have reunited thanks to Ellen’s sister, who took her in.

Benny has continued to be a fantastic assistant for the cats and kittens Ellen brings home since his time with Winifred, and he enjoys his job more than ever!

Benny is a wonderful cat with a big heart.

Ellen must be quite proud of all the kittens he’s rescued throughout the years!
