Endless Struggle

Once the cat was out of 24*7 observation, Ben Ben was put up for adoption. His caregivers tried hard to make the cat feel better but it looked like Ben Ben already made up his mind. He chose an old style of living, least interested in toys and mostly looking depressed. In these circumstances finding a new home seemed almost impossible. 

Walk An Extra Mile

Anyone who would have adopted Ben Ben had to walk an extra mile as the cat had several strict medical requirements that could not be neglected for anything. Ben Ben’s name was in the adoption list but why would anyone take this big step of taking a heartbroken cat home?

No Helping Hand

In an effort of getting Ben Ben a forever home, his caregivers uploaded his images on their hospital’s Facebook page. That’s where people started supporting the thought that Ben Ben was probably the saddest cat they’ve seen so far. Ben Ben’s fate was fastly heading to “the end” phase of life and it looked like that cat had sensed it.

Morphine Dependent

As Sandy Windover, a veterinary technician recalled in an interview, “He was so broken and tiny and thrown away, like no one wanted him,” Ben Ben was unable to live without morphine and even if someone took him home, they finally had to return him to SPCA. To live a peaceful life, Ben Ben has to be taken care of by a trained professional. But no such person took a step to save Ben Ben.

The Heartbreaking Decision

After all the attempts went in vain, the SPCA had to follow the procedure. As there were least hopes for ben Ben to be adopted, the SPCA took the only left option for Ben Ben. They decided to put the cat to sleep as there was no forever home for him. What came to the whole staff as a surprise was Ben Ben’s reaction to this decision.

So Broken

Ms. Windover told in an interview that it was a challenging thing to find Ben Ben as forever home because the cat was “so broken” and “so sad.” She even went on saying that it felt like as if the cat knew its fate and accepted it. As it looked like Ben Ben was “ready to be euthanized,” as there was no “forever home” for him.
