My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello! I’m Maleficent, and I might come off a little distant at first, but I promise, I’m just taking my time to get to know you. When we first meet, I might seem a bit feisty, but that’s just because I’ve been through a lot and need to feel safe before I can let my guard down. Once I trust you, I’ll be a loyal and loving companion! I don’t really like dogs, but I’d get along great with another cat who understands my boundaries. If you’re patient and willing to let me adjust at my own pace, I’ll reward you with affection and cuddles. I just need a calm, understanding home where I can feel secure and loved. With the right person, I’ll be the perfect addition to your family!

More about this shelter

BENCHS was established in 1969 in Mankato, MN.
We serve city limits stray/unclaimed cats/dogs and personal owner surrenders.
We also work with Blue Earth county and other areas in MInnesota, including some Native American reservations when we are able to.
We have also developed relationships with several groups in Texas, Oklahoma, Florida and North Carolina to help the areas reduce their strays.
BENCHS often help other areas that have experienced natural disasters by taking in some of the animals located in those areas.
We have a heartworm positive dog program which enables us to help dogs who elsewhere would be put down.
