The Cat Room

The Cat Room isn’t just a space, it’s a lifeline for cats in transition. It allows them to stay visible, socialized, and safe while they wait for adoption.

A Temporary Home for Cats Waiting on Forever

Since 2021, Benson’s CARES has operated the Cat Room at the Benson’s Pet Center Clifton Park location, giving adoptable cats from local rescue groups a safe and loving environment until they find their forever homes.

Though we’re not a rescue, we provide a foster-style space for adoptable cats from local partners to rest, recover, and meet potential adopters.

Visitors can view the cats through the Cat Room windows anytime during store hours. To meet a cat in person, you’ll need to submit an adoption application, get approved, and schedule an appointment.

Adoptable Pets

Each adoptable pet has a unique personality and story. Listings include key details such as name and age, personality traits, background information, and current adoption status to help you find the right fit.
