“NEUTERED BUT WE’VE STILL GOT IT!”
Benji
Benji came from the mean streets of Austin- yes there are a few in this otherwise gorgeous town. He managed to eek out a living on the streets even as a tiny kitten. He was very fortunate to have survived and fortunately for him, he was eventually taken to the Relocation Facility where Shadow Cats was contacted and he found a home here. Now, seven years later, he is at his peak and running for President of Shadow Cats. He and his vice presidential running mate, Sammy, are running on the Spay/Neuter platform of “Neutered, but We’ve Still Got It!” Benji is young and full of energy and feels like he is in the middle of his best life. He attributes neutering with giving him the ability to focus on other issues and recommends it for his entire cabinet and all the felines in the community. Benji says it’s not all neuter, neuter, neuter though, and is also a strong proponent of elder and long term care. He supports the hospice care policies in place at Shadow Cats and feels all felines should have a safe place to lay their heads at the end of life. Benji is a mix of young cattitude combined with the serious lessons of the streets. He is older than his years and together with Sammy, they will govern with ginger attitude combined with sage experience.
Sammy
Sammy never thought he’d run for political office. Successful in private life and enjoying the subsidized life of a companion cat, he was completely surprised when he lost those civilian benefits. After a decade he found himself back where he started- in the arms of Shadow Cats. It took a period of time to get over his grief, but in the end, he decided that Shadow Cats was exactly where he wanted to be. Being back as an elder gave him the opportunity to influence policy and to impact those who looked to him for feline advice. He realized he could really make a difference and accepted the vice presidential Benji/Sammy ticket. This was a youngster he could work with- smart, sassy, ready to make it big but also willing to listen and learn from the voice and reason of sage experience. Yes, quite a team. As an older candidate, Sammy strongly supports the long term and hospice policies of his ticket. Being a long time neutered male, he says, Go Neuter or Go Home. Sammy reminds us that Shadow Cats is a safe place in an often unsafe world and he wants the Benji/Sammy ticket to keep it real, keep it safe.
