Meet Benedict Cumbercat, the four-legged feline foster parent

This cat has an awesome name: Benedict Cumbercat (“Benny” for short). But it's not his name that has people falling in love with this sweet feline (though of course, it doesn't hurt).
What has the internet making goo-goo eyes at this special cat is his loving heart and the warm hugs he offers to the tiny kittens that just need a little bit of comfort.

Benny has been helping his owner, Ellen Carozza, comfort the teeny tiniest orphan kittens by welcoming them into his home and providing a snuggly warm belly to cozy up to when the world feels a bit scary.

Benny was a child of the streets himself and was riddled with health issues before he was taken in by Carozza. He clearly knows how hard it can be for a tiny kitten out there, and is all too happy to do whatever he can to pay it forward.

It's not hard to see why this cat is melting hearts like the sun melts ice cream.

Benny's owner says he absolutely loves when new kittens come through their door, and he's helped make a lot of kitties happy and healthy in their journey to new homes.
