About Bentley (at Smitten Kitten)
The first time I was at the HSHC, I was only 9 weeks old and found as a stray at the Noblesville Goodwill Store. A couple of months later, I was adopted and lived with that owner for about 2.5 years, before I was given to another lady with whom I lived for 3 months, before being surrendered to the HSHC. Whew! So complicated. However, my owner had some very nice things to say about me. I am a calm, cuddly, and sweet-natured boy who has lived with 5- and 8-year-old children. Because they are gentle with me, I love playing with them. I always use my litterbox. I do not like to go outside because it makes me nervous. Riding in the car makes me "cry". After being examined by the medical staff of HSHC, I moved over to the Smitten Kitten Cat Cafe (SKCC), and I've never been happier! I have fallen in love with one of the SK ladies who takes care of us, and I am always waiting for her when she comes in the door. We have a little routine where she picks me up and holds me while she walks around the room. I love this very much. She has also figured out that because I am a curious cat, I am a door-dasher, trying to make a break for it to explore the rest of the building. I am a handsome 3-year-old fellow with a coat of white, mixed with stripes of brown, rust, and black, making me a mackerel tabby. I weigh 14.4 pounds, so I should really cut down on the number of treats I eat. The problem is that I am so sweet, cute, adorable, and friendly; people reward me with treats all the time. The interviewer lady (IL) got a little taste of my charm when I went right up to her for a pet. I was a busy bee, going from person to person, socializing with everyone. The IL told me I will probably be adopted very soon, especially when people read my story. So how about it? 10-14-25

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
