This is BenBen, the saddest cat on the internet. He was living a miserable existence in a shelter where he was about to be put to sleep.

He has a broken spine, several deep lacerations, and a deformed ear.

Apparently, BenBen was attacked by a large animal.

The shelter staff said that the cat seemed to have a premonition of his imminent death and was not eating, drinking, or even moving.

When an employee of a veterinary clinic heard about BenBen, she decided to take him in.

As soon as she and her husband brought him into their home, the cat was incredibly transformed in just an hour!

“He was constantly purring, smiling, and climbing up for cuddles like he was saying thank you. I want to believe that he knew he was safe and that he had found his home.”

Although the doctors said BenBen wouldn’t be able to walk again, the cat not only walked, but started running and jumping!

Although he’s still on painkillers, this once-sadest cat has definitely become a happy cat!

Thank you, people!
