Bennie

Meet Bennie: Our Brave Diabetic Boy

Personality: Shy, gentle, and quietly resilient

Specialty: Loving life alongside his cottage roommate

Special Needs: Daily insulin injections & specialized diabetic diet

Bennie’s story is one of a quiet cry for help that saved his life. For a long time, he lived as a shy "driveway cat," fed by a kind elderly couple who could never get close enough to touch him. But one day, Bennie was found lying in the driveway, completely unbothered when people approached. Knowing something was terribly wrong, his feeders rushed him to Big Sky Ranch.

Tests revealed Bennie’s blood glucose was in the dangerous 800s—a life-threatening diabetic crisis. Our team immediately went to work, diagnosing his diabetes, stabilizing him, and starting him on a strict management plan.

Once Bennie started feeling like himself again, his feral instincts returned, making it impossible for his original feeders to administer his daily medical care. Big Sky Ranch gladly became his permanent home, giving him a safe haven tailored to his exact needs. Today, Bennie lives comfortably in a cozy cottage shared with his best friend, Stripes—another shy diabetic cat who understands his lifestyle!

Bennie requires daily insulin injections and a specialized diabetic diet for the rest of his life to keep his blood sugar stable and healthy. By sponsoring Bennie, you directly help cover the ongoing cost of his medical supplies, insulin, and specialized food, keeping this brave boy safe, comfortable, and thriving.
