Gimme’ Shelter – Benicio at Providence Animal Control Center

My friends here describe me in 3 words – Friendly, Affectionate, & Gentle!

I was left behind when my family moved out, hey, at least I wasn’t put outside! I wasn’t neutered either but, I am now – hurray! I am a good boy who is looking forward to the chonky life full of food and warm beds and plays and pets. Since I came in solo, I am unsure how I feel about other cats but, so far nothing seems to phase me!

If not, then another special person has taken me home, but please look at the friends I’ve left behind. Surely, there’s one for you and your family…

About the Providence Animal Control Division

The Providence Animal Control Division protects the health and safety of our residents and their pets with progressive leadership and education, and continues to engage the hearts and minds of the community to help all animals.

As of November 2015, the Animal Control Division has adopted a “low risk euthanasia” philosophy of healthy adoptable animals and will continue to improve the live release rate of shelter animals via adoptions, returning strays to their owners, transferring animals to rescues, TNR, programs/services and treating medical cases. We believe that with progressive programs, we can have a more humane City. Through our Gimme Shelter program, PAC is spaying and neutering owned and feral cats for Providence residents. To participate please send a message through our Facebook page at Providence Animal Care Center.
