The story

Bento turned up in a box on his finder’s doorstep and has repaid the favour with nothing but affection ever since. He’s a five-to-six-month-old male ginger-and-white mix kitten — litter trained, dewormed, vaccinated and booked in to be sterilised. He’s extremely friendly, loves to cuddle, isn’t a picky eater and gets along with other pets. His finder calls him a proper foodie and the perfect nap partner.

He’s based in Pune, but can travel to Mumbai, Bengaluru or Delhi for the right adopter. Adoption formalities are mandatory.

Update, 8 September: Bento is still waiting for his person. His finder has widened the search past Pune — Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi NCR are all in play now, and a genuinely responsible pan-India home will be considered. Contact is unchanged.

Update, 17 September: Bento is still without a home, now closer to six months old. His finder says his favourite game is hide-and-seek, and he settles in just as easily with first-time cat owners as with homes that already have pets. Contact is unchanged.
